Unreal Engine Completed Subverse [v1.1.1] [Studio Fow]

[Quintilus]

" All the VA work has been done"

Thats actually a good thing. No more "Please let me suck you cock" like lines in dialogs.

 

[ZimonColdres]

Mmmmmm.....I think this sums up people's general expectations of the game:



If you can no longer dub scenes to make choices, simply use the dialogues.

 

[Joshua Tree]

Let's just be honest here, it's very clear case of bad design choice. Xeno stuff and everything should be optional and avoidable but with Pandora everything is optional and avoidable. And for a porn game thats just bad design.

So... how do you want it? Optional and avoidable, or optional and avoidable?

 

[Razrback16]

However I still have a huge problem with what 1 thing they said until now : " All the VA work has been done".

This kind of sentence is quite worrying since it doesn't let enough space for improvment.

Agreed. Definitely makes me think it's unlikely they will have any 'touch-up' scenes created to help fix the lack of narrative with Pandora, etc. Would love to be wrong, though.

Where did they say they would fix any narrative with Pandora? They already responded to all this, so why expect more that what been said?

I am referencing the sex scenes - so far they've all been in Pandora. If they make changes that makes things happen outside of Pandora, I am fine with that, too, as long as it gets fixed, but as I stated, I am concerned the common concerns people have with this will not be resolved.

Here's what they said on the topic just for reference -

SEX WITH THE STORY
I also noticed a lot of complaints about the sex not being integrated with the story, and for those that were not aware of the Kickstarter diaries... the Devotion Quests are coming, and they should greatly alleviate the concerns regarding this. In addition to the dialogue options, in my opinion the Devotion Quests (unlocked when devotion reaches a high enough level) are the marquee content of the game, blending thrills, romance and sex into one satisfying package that is capped off with a 3+ minute StudioFOW cinematic movie. Imagine the loyalty quests in Mass Effect 2 but finished off by an amazing sex scene. That is exactly what the devotion quests will deliver and I'm so proud of the actors' performances during these segments. I can't wait until these are integrated into the game, they make our movies look amateurish by comparison.

The devotion/loyality chain with the waifus been planned all along. So there wouldn't be any need to touch up the narrative/scenes in Pandora. Those take place outside Pandora...

I'm not talking about those. The most common complaint with the xxx scenes in general is the lack of context / narrative. That's what we are talking about. The devotion scenes will likely be fine as they should have context, but that is one section of a much larger amount of xxx content in the game. It's the other content that I was talking about.

People in Germany, whaaa whaaa whaaa. We can't buy the game.....

FOWcoins? whaaaa whaaaa whaaaa....

Yeah imagine someone come up with a way where people can pay for adult entertainment (games, whatever), that isn't allowed in their respective countries....

Yeah, because there is surely no other option for german people to pay for porn than cryptocurrency.

It's a scraper API that looks at steam data to determine how many have been sold or bought. Back in 2018 Steam hid the exact numbers of games sold however so it's more of a guesstimate at this stage but I'd take this 20k sold over your 250k sold simply due to how many current people are playing the game, which is 1,700 people. Since it only came out last week and if it did sell more than 200k copies, there would be more than 1,700 people playing. You don't see a 99% drop off in players inside of a week, especially for a game as highly publicized as this.
Judging by how many steam reviews there are is a false metric since it can be easily wrong. Take Greedfall for example, Steamspy says it sold 500k to 1M copies. Your estimate of 41 copies sold per review at 10k reviews put total sold at 420k.
Link to article saying the company sold over a million copies.

What you're essentially doing is what Harold Camping did for his end of the world predictions and pulling numbers out of nowhere with figures that makes no sense to the actual value that is way off of what it should be.

As for Subverse itself, 2 million raised in kickstarter, be generous and say 20k bought through steam which means about 700k raised though that. Total budget be generous again and say $3 mil. Certainly more reasonable than your 7 mil budget don't you think? There is no way this project has generated that much of a budget, simply for the fact if it did they would have hired actual fuging devs to work on the game, not make it some space shot em up that a grad student could make for finals.

This game is the Second Ranked Game on the Top Seller Ranklist so it is possible that over 200k has already bought this game becaus the first rank is Outriders an Both Games has Topped Valheim wich has more than 1 million sells and this Month over 150k... it was on the First place and got kicked to the 4. place ....

You should make it your mission to inform our pervert brethern in Germany where to buy such games and how to pay for them then... It's nice when someone know all the answers after all

It is not, it is not even in top 10, but I wont repeat myself why.

it's called piracy, imagine wanting to buy subverse unironically lmao

 

[Beelzebro]

Just install WeMod. Forget the cheat engine. For fuck sake.

It's not about Subverse...

While I share your opinion that cryptocurrency is shady, you should actually read the whitepaper on FOWcoin. The tl;dr is that it's a stablecoin (pegged at 1 coin to 1 USD, so it can't be speculated on) and the mining rate will not be affected by number or power of GPUs; basically it's going to be an anonymized store credit that you can accrue over time and would only want to buy if you actually have something on the store you want (and you're in a country that won't allow you to buy from them).

 

[hencuka]

Hmm.. anybody experienced a quest issue at the beginning of the act 2? There was a mission marked planet. I flew there, left click, "oh, forgot something" hit the back button, but the after quest scene starts... I went through the cinematic, fighting with the Huntress... but there are no more quest, and the planet mark that step as completed...

If they plan to release things they can't sell on steam at some point, this might help to avoid getting cut off by payment providers.
