0.9 on the way end of March, next 5 devotion missions to be included.

Big ass jump, we might be finishing sooner than we thought.

That's great to hear! Did they plan to finish up the game this year? From what I've read/think to remember, didn't they say that the whole romancing/NSFW movies integration happens at the very last step?

AAA is a weak term used by CEO’s to make their shit sound fancy. Doesn’t change that they got backed by Sony to promote and publish NMS.

If you want to remember the past also remember the time when one of the Sony execs said "It wasn’t a great PR strategy" which had the exact opposite effect of "promoting" the game at the time.

Also might want to remember they were also lambasted at launch and took a lot of years to get a positive reputation about the game.

I don't see what's that have to do with the supposed big ass jump from Subverse's version 0.8.4 to 0.9. If you need a reminder, I said "Try to describe that if you think going from 0.84 to 0.9 is a "big ass jump"." If you are having trouble comprehending what you read, I am telling you that you are exaggerating. That's all from me on this matter.

The plan is to finish this year, yes. Given how it was going 2 by 2 it appeared to be longer, but now that’ll it’ll be jumping to 0.9, we might be seeing a complete story by the summer.

Also yes as previously stated the devotion scenes within the quests will be added when the game itself is done

Glad to see this might be wrapping up. I'm ready for them to get back to movies.

 

[PayneToTheMax]

Now that's some optimism right there. I somehow doubt they will ever go back to movies.

Bruh they put up funding avenues for said movies. I think their intention is clear. But they ain't gonna work for free.

I'm just think making a bunch of porn movie with, frankly, stolen models now that they're legit (or as legit as a place on Steam and the like makes you) seems like asking for way more trouble compared to back they were 'just' making said movies.

Unless they're making original content movies after Subverse. That's entirely different.

Parody's protected by law. They fought blizzard off after all. They just have to tiptoe around companies that throw litigation at artists, burying them with their wallets.

Is it still allowed if they're a registered company and such though?
And back when they fought off Blizzard, they were still just a bunch of animators huddled together under one umbrella to rake in Patreon bucks.

Just saying, don't be surprised if, after Subverse is done (and I very much doubt they will leave it at a simple 1.0) they'll announce they will move away from their old stuff.

Weren't they still dicking around with SFM while others had already moved on to Blender back then? Can't imagine them going back to that after 5 years of Unreal.

Parody is Parody. Companies like Brazzers or NaughtyAmerica break one every now and then and they don't get sued.

They're not going back to SFM or Blender, they'll be using Unreal, that's been part of the benefit of the game, gaining experience with using it. So when they make films, they'll already be well-versed in the tools they're using. And much better ones than SFM, which lacked real support from Valve.

Hmm. Guess we'll see.

I thought they were supposed to add another girl, their mascot or something right? When is she supposed to go in

Personally assumed we were going .02 ahead each til 0.9 which would be her. But they didn’t mention her in the dev blog. So it’s possible she might be waiting at 1.0

Another possibility is maybe they do a 0.95 update that’ll include her before 1.0

Or they relegate her as a post-1.0 update. Depending on how involved all her stuff is gonna be.

 

[Velsomnia]

Its odd to add her in this late, the story is pretty much over which means she wont play any significant role in the story like the rest of the waifus. This was a stretch goal as I remember and shes being treated like an afterthought, nevermind I just re read the kickstarter and it says she will be added as a special end game mission which means shes being added right where they intended.

She'd been always been described as an endgame waifu. And yeah based on the fact she was an extremely late milestone (like the highest was originally 400k before it blew past that), they'd probably already scripted the story to function without her.

Yeah her goal was at 5 times what the funded limit was at 550k and then landed at over a million euros. I still cant believe a porn game raised 2.1 million dollars US

Well part of it was FOW's rep. But even so it got a lot of funding just from people that wanted a proper adult game. Something that wasn't just match-3 gameplay or another Renpy clone.

Say what ya like about it, but there's nothing like this game anywhere else on this site.

*Also it probably could've gotten more if China and other countries weren't such restrictive pricks about lewd content*

Yeah the only other games ive seen come close and still miss by a lot are the Seed of the Dead games and Roundscape.

Geez roundscape. Did that ever get finished? I remember it going through a redesign cuz the original artist left it. And it just seems like they’re always announcing new projects.
