Unreal Engine Abandoned Rise of Asmodeus [v0.0.1] [Lucifer Studios]

[Deleted member 225296]

It's not about buying a demo. It's about supporting the development of a game you want to see completed. It's almost as if you've never seen an indie dev fund a project through patreon or kickstarter before.

Yeah... I've seen tons and tons of Patreon-style scamming. Ever heard of that?

Don't you worry about me and the majority of this site "pirating" your 0.0.1 demo; I didn't even consider wasting my time and bandwidth with this crap.
Just here to call on your bullshit and make fun of a scammer from the perspective of someone who've been working on games since the days of the IdTech 3 engine.

Here's a tip, if you check out his guys work The Last Barbarian he started just like you, but the difference is he asked in public about Piracy problem check here

read the comments, look at what the outsider (non-patreon) are saying, this was the time that the game was already posted here in f95zone and people are already keeping track of the game here.
So what did he do to get 4k+ support?
He builds up he's audience outside patreon, he even made an account here, asks people here, reads all their negative/positive comments, keeps posting for non-patreons about what he's doing, posts a video preview of the latest build in his twitter/reddit, posts gameplay in pornhub, ViktorBlack was also struggling at that time when he started, but he didn't give up, he keeps posting and posting, also some people here in f95zone posts his latest update build without his permission and he ain't even mad about it, he even answers their questions if whats new on this build etc... he's just calm and that's why people loved him because of that and that gave him a lot of support and reached 4k+ a month.

Now the game is gonna be finished soon.
I hope you read all of this and good luck to you!

Hey. Thanks for mentioning me
I've been here for more than 2 years, and I want to talk about DRM and other kinds of "piracy protection". Most of the projects placed here are not finished products.
Most of them use crowdfunding strategy to get funded.
Patreon and substar work on a monthly subscription model, but the difference is that this is not a sale of your content. This is a way to support you as a creator.

So you can’t use the same strategy as a common “non-adult” project. You don’t have one big investor to support your game until release and keep everything closed. You have many investors and you need to engage more of them.

The main goal that you should follow is to increase recognition of your product and yourself as creator. (it works for any crowdfunding company btw)
You should appreciate every player. It doesn't matter if it's a paid subscriber or just someone downloading the game from a torrent. Players make invaluable collective experiences that you can apply to your product.
And I want to tell one more important thing. If someone wants to play your game for free and doesn't want to pay you in future. You can’t force him to pay you. It doesn't matter if you put protection on your game or not. In my humble opinion DRM for indie adult games is pointless.
It makes sense if you publish your finished product on Steam or any kind of marketplace, but not for funding.
Anyway, good luck with project. Visuals looks pretty nice and I hope it will be great product.

DRM in gaming always leads to reduced sales not just in adult gaming but also in normal games. It alienates both paying customers and POTENTIAL paying customers.

DRM is never a route you want to take (don't take my word for it, listen to

Gabe Newell: The point is that there's this market that you shouldn't waste your time on, that went from, “You shouldn't waste our time on it, they'll just pirate it,” to “it's actually a really large market for us now,” once you actually do the things that allow your product to be played. And that's why some of the DRM approaches are so bad, because they create negative value, not positive value.

I've had this problem with software, where my machine crashes and I wasn't able to release my license. So I have high-end CAD software that I have for hobbies, and my machine crashes and now I'm screwed because of their DRM solution. And that's bad because it's much harder to justify purchasing software that might just magically disappear and create a huge hassle for you to recover. What you want to do is go the other way, and say, “Anywhere in the world, any time, you can get your software.” It's even better if you can get it to run on more platforms, which is why Steam Play is cool, so I can buy it on a Mac and play it on a PC and vice versa. That's a good thing, that moves customers in the direction of thinking, “Oh, my content is more valuable.”

As a paying consumer (you don't want to know how many games I own on Steam) and as someone who has paid for finished h-games as well (I don't do Patreon as it is just too risky to be dragged along without ever getting any finished game) I can say if a game has invasive DRM I don't buy it, I won't even play it out of principle so not even piracy.

Many people will just pirate it if they know it has invasive DRM rather than buy it.

DRM is proven time and time again that it reduces a company's revenue. There have been very great games that released on PC with invasive DRM and vastly undersold on that platform versus the sales those games had on other platforms. While if you look at the all-time best sellers on PC they have no DRM at all. Such as Witcher 3 which is 100% DRM free on GOG.

DRM free is the way to go if you want your game to be a success, this has been proven time and time and time again.

are those censored had been removed yet?

Game is unplayable if you don't have a qwerty keyboard. Even setting the keyboard in Windows to qwerty doesn't help. Moving with cursor keys is annoying.
And as said numerous times already, it's way too dark. She definitely needs a torch. Going through the porthole is sometimes impossible as you remain on the same side. Fights are rubbish because you loose the sword and clothes if you've lost so there's nothing you can do anymore. It's impossible to pick them back up.
Nice try, but it's worth nothing yet.

Is there anything to do after beating the few goblins in the cave?

Am I doing something wrong or is there all there is to the demo?

Dev claims there's a way to escape the cave through some puzzle, but I personally cba to look for it and solve it.

 

[Shock&Awe]

How to "beat" the demo:
- Find a figure/stature on a waist-height pedestal.
- Bring that figurine to the pedestal formed as a hand.
- New path opens with a blue flower infront of a "shining white" exit.

That's it.

 

[Criss00]

This teaser is quite the worst thing I have ever played and I'm tbh so mad about it that I wanna write something about it cause i like the idea but I hate the poor execution!

I like the Idea of making a Erotic-Action game with some "Goblin Slayer" inspirations and i think well done it could get an overwhelming attention.
But with this mess of gameplay I wont give this game a chance till version 0.8 or higher...
It needs quite badly a reboot even at this early stages.

Some Key Points

Dark, darker, this game if a game is that dark that you can't see actually where you can go it's bad...

The Inventory is completly broken in every aspect.
If you keep the menu open while you are fighting you will soon realize the clunky mess, cause the mouse corsor will disapear and an interaction with the menue is not longer possible till you close and reopen it. (Brilliant)
It wouln't be such a big thing if you would just drop after 3 hits your weapon that you have to pick up again use the item menu equip it and then use the holster key to wield the weapon to fight back... (what where they thinking)

Bad Camera that becomes even worse on lock on.

Fights in Narrow Corridors while the fighting system doesn't even work in more open areas??? (Why? If it's not working yet cut it out and focus on getting the basics done instead of anoy the Player)

Keybindings use damm standards like other games, do or explain it decently in some kind of tutorial but like this you can't even look up in the Options anything or rebind this mess....

Way too dark

And yes I know it's a teaser and so on.... but in this state it shouln't be published at all.
It doesn't generate much hype and almost no one will be willing to help over patreon.

Make a better Demo, think about a working menu, make a rudamentary working fighting system, make a few fight's vs single that make fun with some small cinematics and then show of 1 or 2 erotic scenes and let the demo end with some 20 sec cinematic that shows the first level with some voice over what is to expect and you get easy hype and a lot founding for the game on patreon but not like this...

There are so much more promising titles that even show more good in the early stages like "Eon Demo Build 1" this one makes it right it shows what people can except from the Aspects of Gameplay, Story, Ideas and Erotic Content and it's a small sideprojekt from this developer while he does other stuff....


My hope lays still on kalyskah royal blood to become the first really good action game with erotic content for now.

I've been ghost watching this for quite some time now and I'll just say what I'm sure some people here have been thinking or have thought. "It's amazing how nice and quiet this thread got without ""HE WHO SHALL NOT BE NAMED!!"" after Viktor Black came in."

 

[Zil Nalhir]

Viktor Black is an amazing Dev working all on his own. while this one puts out shit work complains about people posting his work on other sites and wants to create a login to watch everyone who comes in and plays it when he should be more focus on the game and making it actually playable... Great idea wrong person working on it.

 

[SomeDoude]

Yeah ngl played this for 1 hour or so and it felt like a big mess. The combat doesnt need polishing, it needs a complete rework. But the idea is promising, im looking forward for improvements.

Got a vid on that? Already deleted the files and i dont feel like downloading it again just to try i out.

 

[FaerDear]

You literally get free advertisment of your game on this site and you are not happy about it. Well, unfortunately I like the idea pretty much and ready to buy this game if it's well made, finished and keeps the original idea. Focus on the game, dev, pls.

 

[Shock&Awe]

Can't make a video at the moment, as I am not anywhere near my rig. But I can offer to remember doing it once I get back. Not a problem.
It's really not worth downloading it, because...if you do the puzzle, the ending will just be a thank you note and so on. The usual.

Thanks, I really appreciate the effort.

I'll be honest, came here for the fact it seemed to be female POV at points, sadly no tag for that but to ask, anyone got any good suggestions on female POV games? Like the perspective of the woman being throatfucked, titfucked, or fucked that's good? I don't really wanna download this though due to the seemingly large amount of negative feedback on it.

Wild Life has a pov mode and throatfucks, titfucks, and all the other fucks.

There is 1 camera perspective (POV) as the girl, where you get missionary fucked. But that is all. Not worth the 4 gigs tbh.

EDIT: Remember, this game is just a demo and there is no content.
- You can look at a naked 3D model.
- You can look at 1 animation with 2-3 slight variantions (speed variations).
- I think 3 camera perspectives if I remember correctly.
- 1 simple puzzle to complete the demo.
- Clunky combat that already exists in other 3rd-person-action-RP games.

In the end, the real work is for this guy to make mechanics that already exist (Let's be honest, in this day and age, nobody is going to reinvent the wheels.) But he can still put his personal spin on it, that makes it interesting to play. Sorta like the "Unique Selling Point".
Which this Demo, is clearly missing for everybody.

DRM is obviously not exactly something you would want in the "USP" list.

Oh boi.

EDIT2: Typo's.
