Unreal Engine Silicon Lust [v0.37b] [Auril]

[Ilverin]

That's a pretty big stretch to compare a game of wildlife's quality to this. You've been playing nothing but the tech demo supporters have been wanting since day one for sex anims. Seems silly to ignore all the work they're doing on the side for level design and systems.

This game is loaded in store bought assets and her models are much lower in quality in comparison to the whorecraft ones. I'm not sure how people got to the point of pointing out wildlife's sex animations demo they post every other month as requested by their supporters to be the bar set. If you even bother to read their roadmap we simply haven't hit the phase where that stuff is added in. But it's gonna be here in the next few months.

Regardless of all their content being in the demo or not, I still dunno how you came to the point of comparing this subpar game to that one. I've been a supporter of auril for a very long time as I enjoy the whorecraft series for the most part, but even I'm not that blind or crazy to compare their work to Steve and his team that have very solid backgrounds in what they do. Trying to compare professionals to someone who's been doing this as a hobby for roughly 6-7 years and has shown very little growth in that time is redigs to say the least.

The sex is mediocre
The models are mediocre
The map is littered in store assets from top to bottom
If it's anything like tails, then they probably didn't make their own models and simply bought them too. Bangfri made all the high quality models for tails.
The story is... well it's not much of one compared to their other works.
The visual and model quality between this and wildlife is leagues apart (not an opinion, it's a fact).

I would've left all this stuff out, but since we're comparing two wildly different games I figured I'd add in the input.

Saying a game of wildlife's size is milking their early success when they spent the first year with 2 main people and very little extra to help out while struggling to make money, to over a dozen+ employees and a clear drive to succeed that hasn't shown any signs of slowing down is a bit silly.

Meanwhile Auril has been making the whorecraft series for a very, very long time with little to no additional help outside of lumi occasionally despite getting support/funding this entire time. In that time the overall quality of their work has been hit or miss, they haven't had a valid save system for roughly 4 years by October and their releases feel less and less polished than before and come with even less work per release.

Now they have this game to manage along with the whorecraft series. They were hardly completing 1 episode per year before, I can only assume it's gonna take even longer now, or they're gonna drop the ball in multiple areas to spend less time on each episode that will in turn reduce the overall quality of the work.

I guess this sorta turned into a rant, but I get really tired of reading people low balling one of the highest looking quality porn games we've ever had trying to push out into the mainstream. If they were gonna milk people, they wouldn't be dropping builds full of animations roughly every two months as requested. A single wildlife build has more animations than a single whorecraft game in a years time and that's their smaller animation drops. Shoot, all of Auril's episodes combined don't even equal up to a single year of wildlife animation drops and Auril has been doing this for 6 years with many of the pairings being flat out copy pastes with minor changes.

I wouldn't be this anal about it, but Wildlife the very moment they got enough funding they started investing it into employees, equipment, office space and software to increase their output and reach their goals.

In 6 years Auril hasn't bothered to do any of that and even stopped paying for the save systems that someone else did. Think what you must, but if anyone is milking their supporters, it's Auril since they've never shown any interest in reinvesting that supporter money to expand their games in any capacity. There is literally no excuse besides they wanna pocket all the funding without increasing the effort they're putting into the game.

I'll continue to support Auril, but I'm not the only one of their supporters with this mindset. Make no mistake, they're taking advantage of their supporters by refusing to reinvest some of that capital to speed up their workflow.

The person doing Pussymon is doing the exact same thing in terms of investment. Stagnated work and still has people giving them money and the game is still littered with horrible English and the same subpar animations from years ago.

That's a quality rant if I ever saw one.
Though on the aspect of "sex is mediocre", it's more a matter of taste in my opinion, since it got me absolutely hooked from the beginning.

Mediocre in the sense that as a supporter of theirs I've seen way more effort put into their work. I wasn't just blindly throwing it out there. I've been playing their games for years and I've seen them at their best and sadly at their worst. I genuinely hope this game succeeds despite my personal feelings of Auril stretching themselves too thin.

But I know they can do better than what I've been testing in this game by a long shot. Then another reason I got a lil wild on the rant is due to the new tails build that came out. It literally had less than a minute of actual content after an entire month, it was painfully obvious that they simply had less time to work on it. They've never released that bare bones of a starter episode ever.

I'll support them for a few more months, but if I see that the additional workload without additional help starts to produce less and less quality content each month (which it has already), then I'll just have to stop giving them money. If they wanna run two projects side by side, then they should've invested some of their supporter money into hiring help to streamline the process and put out content at a reasonable rate for both of their games. I wouldn't be so annoyed if I hadn't experienced this same exact scenario countless times on patreon. It's literally a milkers bread and butter system to be less productive but earn twice the money by running two wildly different games that attract different people. It's smart money wise, shitty for supporters because you aren't getting their best work.

That Onyx game on here is a great example, people been supporting them for I dunno how long and it has a single sex scene in its very small demo after almost 2 years? Just an insane practice I wish others wouldn't try to do.

I personally found the h-scenes much more interesting than most of those you can find in their Tails serie, probably due to the fact that some took me by surprise, and maybe because of the general feel of the game. Their quality sure is lower, but it's compensated by more imagination and have the advantage of leaving behind the Tails serie archetypes while not being a complete vanilla game.
Aside from that, the "two games at once" thing is indeed quite bad if no real support is put in place to make sure both games have a correct development. Still, I don't think this is a real case of milking, at least not yet, and we'll have to wait and see how they manage this.
Also, please don't remind me of Eromancer, those guys are the worst ;_;

How to get outside to the garden/pool-area as shown in the screenshot, and how to I change clothes?
In "my" room I can interact with the training-machine or the weight lift stick, and sometimes with the mirror to take "selfies"

That's fair.

Impossible... they're the boogeymen in our closets and under our beds.

You can't go outside yet, and clothes are the same but they show more or less skin depending on certain events.

I see so, that image from her backyard is "from the future" then.
Yeah I noticed that she wanders around with no panties and her top hiked up sometimes and sometimes she's prude, strutting around in her underwear.

In next update then, when it is avialable

 

[HeroHate]

Y'all comparing a full on dev team with a team of two people...imo Wild Life is making way too much money for what it is, yes the animations are excellent, but there's no substance to that game, still a glorified animation showcase. If i were to choose between more Wild Life or more Silicon Lust, I'd choose this game, hands down.

Now the problem as was said already is that they are stretched too thin, making two games at the same time on a monthly release is ridiculous.

Only played the other briefly, didn't hold my attention sadly, I prefer this. I like the horror/unsettling tone and like that it can hold my attention. That said I do hope for a more extensive update next time.

who knows when the next update will be? this is the only game I'm waiting for an update on

Auril updates at the end of every month.

So you can expect the next update between Sept 30th/October 1st. They are late every now and then so it can sometimes be the 2nd or 3rd if they fall behind. Which does happen quite often.

Also, expect a content drought in December if they continue the trend of making a mini Xmas episode for tails of azeroth like they have been for years now. That would have them doing 3 projects and it's very possible they have already started on this third mini project which could contribute to the lack of game play in both releases at the start of this month.

 

[HeroHate]

Did the last update come out mid month last month? Hope we don't have to wait until the end of the month, as it then goes from four weeks to six weeks between updates, I want to keep supporting but it'll be dependent on this months release date, this is mostly due to the festive period looming.

Just depends, I figured they'd sync up the updates for both of their games. But who knows with them sadly. Could be trying a new update time for this game, but they could also just be trying to get more content out of this and dropping quicker updates until they slow down to normal. Prolly need about 3-4 months to see what changes in their pattern.

Roughly each update should be a month apart with some give or take occasionally.

thx bro

 

[HeroHate]

I really hope there is a somewhat more lengthy update this month. My main concern for this game, indeed all, is that the update is basically shown in the teaser for the update (which happened last month). I really like the game, but without any real update that's just pointless, however I hope to continue my support.

 

[HeroHate]

This was the only game I was currently supporting. Don't mind delays on monthly updates, but the zero interaction leaves me agitated, I'll assume they are concentrating on other projects. Still love the idea behind the game, but am doubtful about it going much beyond its current state, many of the scenes were ready to go (as seen on promos for that Warcraft thing) and once they are used up I'm wondering if they'll be more. Hope I'm wrong, I'll see what they do over the next few months.

 

[D-R]

I made 2 screenshots

 

[HeroHate]

Who was the guy meant to be in the original version of that second screenshot? Swear I saw it before? Pity it went over a month since the last update, true it's just days, but many of these games leave me too dubious about support now. Guess I will play eventually, so I'll refrain from going on about it as when you're not paying you don't really have a right.

 

[hvrc123]

I would love to see the dev make a horror game after this.

That would makes sense yes, this one already has a slightly horror/creepy feeling to it tbh
