So I gave it a go for a good ~3-4 hours straight tonight, took my time did a lot of side missions to gain experience and gear to upgrade, not to mention building up PP points. :D I suspect I'm probably getting toward the end of the content of what's available for now, will likely finish it up tomorrow.

I'll say the game has a LOT of potential. There's things I really don't like in it, but there are things I really do like, too.

I've got a long running list of Pros & Cons to compile my review for down the road, but for now I'll just mention the thing I like most and the thing I like least for anyone on the fence who just wants more information -

* Best Pro: No doubt the texture & animation quality was impressive. It easily blew my expectations out of the water. Not to mention the voice acting quality throughout the game. Game is absolutely gorgeous, particularly in 4k+ resolution. I was also surprised that it utilized my relatively heavy hitting rig to such extremes, taking a 2080 Ti to 99% utilization during certain parts of the game and the game is also very well multi-threaded on the CPU side, frequently using ~20-30% of all 20 threads in my system. So kudos to the dev for not being afraid to go balls to the wall (heh) on the graphics and image quality. I love when developers push the envelope like this.

* Worst Con: The lack of proper narrative flow for the sex scenes combined with how short they are. I was very disappointed in this. I expected narrative driven 'sex events' where we would get a fully animated scene that was directly tied into the story, not just short 'pieces' of scenes. I was picturing a fully rendered, 5-8 minute scene from start to finish to include voice acting where for example you have some foreplay with one of the girls, maybe coming into your room, starting to strip down, get some fellatio going on that smoothly and fully transitions to sex with a little talking between the involved parties if desired by the player and then transitioning into an after scene. What we got are incredibly short 'clips' that don't really flesh out a proper scene at all; much of it is left to the imagination which is very disappointing. This would be the #1 item I would advise the dev studio to work on improving for later pieces of the game as I feel that if it stays in this form, they will absolutely lose some potential earnings from people who are turned off by the current system.

Some questions I have on the game if anyone doesn't mind replying -

1.) Did we ever hear what their projections are as far as release schedule for each update? I'm hoping it's not months or I'll likely forget what the heck is going on in the story.

2.) Were there supposed to be different outfits in the game to unlock for the girls? I thought during the tutorial it said the locker room would be used for that but whenever I visited the locker room I didn't see any outfits / cosmetic changes available.

Aight so I have not downloaded nor have I started to download it yet so far I have read and all I have gotten mostly is discussions about backers.. NTR... Cheating...Cucking... Left... Right...

But really nothing to explain exactly what I am searching for.

So let me just ask it myself.

Hows the game, how much content is there, hows the writing, is it fun, what can I expect from this 0.01.

Reason Why I am not downloading it is because while I do enjoy games and mini games I am not going to download everything for say only 10 min ish of spicy scenes and another 10 to 15 min of normal lore and content reading and then poof out of content. This is not to jab at the game as I legit have been waiting on this for a while and was surprised to see that they have a 0.01 release.

I am wondering and asking this simply because... if even though if everything is top notch quality that I normally would expect from StudioFOW, if it is short I would rather wait till the next update or 2. There is plenty of other things I can keep myself busy with in the mean time.
Game lasts 4-5 hours if you're reading all of the dialogue and watching all of the cutscenes. You're getting more like 5 minutes of spicy scenes and over 3 hours of lore and content reading.

When indie devs are releasing better 0.1 builds than a company that has more than a millions already invested... you know something is wrong. (they didn't even build their own custom engine where tf did the money go XD ).
Okay, name some 0.1 releases that had a better quality release than this early access release then?

And if money is the only aspect then DarkCookie should been the king of adult games in terms of speedy quality releases... right?

I backed it on kickstarter years ago and I'm not disappointed. So far it's everything I want. Engaging gameplay, high quality voice acting and some really good h-scenes.

Besides, to be honest, I wasn't just backing the project, I was also supporting a company with its endeavour through a potentially rocky world. People still see games as things kids play, people can't seem to look past the fact that some people want engaging gameplay AND porn in the same thing, that's why I backed it. So far it's meeting everything I want.

Be patient lads, if it was free you'd all be saying just how insanely good the game is.

So I have the game on steam. I'm playing it on a SP6 on medium graphic settings. Everything runs fine except for the cinematic scenes which stutter while playing. Does anyone know a fix to this?

It's not a bad game by any means. However, there's criminally little content as of the 0.1 release. It's literally a very very beta stage of the game. The cutscenes with the Imperium characters are kind of dull, so I usually just skip through them. I like the humor though, very Mel Brooks-ish. Reminds me of Saints Row games.

The NTR mostly comes from the mantics. Personally I would like to see more scenes with the MC fucking the characters.
Just because its an early access release doesn't make it a 0.1 release. Just check the actual file version numbers.

the darkcookie team is a lot smaller for one. since afaik it is mostly cookie that does the art not an actual devteam.

2nd there are so many games uploaded on here that I can't remember which ones specifically had better 0.1s, and I wouldn't be able to find out cause they are no longer 0.1s. (add to that people don't always call first releases 0.1s).

Fact is, this ain't some new studio, they are pre-existing, and have done animations and stuff before (with minigames, not full games though, more like a interactive movie). So if anything the animations and sex scenes should be the strongest thing about the game... but it is one of their weak points. the gameplay parts from what I have heard are actually better.

True but the time and scale don't exactly match, like if it was a year or so ago then this would make sense, but with the way they were marketing and talking about it, they set up that the first release would be a polished finished product (first chapter), not a beta.

But in its current state, that ain't exactly true. And well, unlike the indie games around here they have funneled over a million dollars into the project, so releasing something of this quality level imo isn't acceptable given their status and funding. Not to mention it is a paid product that people buy on steam.
No idea how many people is in their studio/team. But a million USD doesn't get you very far in actual serious game development these days. Remember, the target audience for this game is more actual grown up gamers, not what you find around here that just want to hit skip to get to the sexy bits as fast as possible, and start cry for a renpy conversion as soon as unreal or unity is spotted.

Success of this game could actually be a game breaker for actual game studios (in the western world) to start consider adult games.

The main con is that the game is bloody boring. The narrative isn't engaging, and gameplay is just going through the motions. There's no tactical decision depth in ground combat and space combat has bullet spongy enemies with no danger of you actually dying.

Also the sex scenes are pretty meh and have no narrative purpose whatsoever.

Oh well.

Without knowing for sure, but from what I know about the game industry as whole. I'm almost certain they have hired additional people to work on it. One thing is to make interactive movies and animations. Making an actual game is a whole new ballgame.

Except there is no NTR in this game. The Captain, and everyone else, fucks who they want, when they want, and everyone is okay with it. Which, by definition, is not NTR. It is, at best, just regular old open relationships ala 90% of porn, and at worst, wanton sluttery.
Many people do not like open relationships and would indeed see it as cuckoldry to "allow" your lover to be in one.
You might not consider swinging as NTR but I can see many people that would, judging from the severe reactions to several adult works that involve swinging.

Here you go. Maxed to what content is out right now.
I put the save file into my appdata folder, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to recognize it as a save file, only the file that I created through regular autosave/playing the game. Any ideas? I also tried the cheat engine table you put above, but unfortunately I suck at CE, and when I click to change the values it doesn't let me.

I know they have aditional people, but as far as the artwork goes pretty sure it is just cookie.

Well, well, well. That certainly didn't turn out they way I hoped. Played through the first chapter so far and that's where I'll stop for now.

I guess in everything we knew these guy were good, top even, they still are good. The visuals are great no matter at which part of the game you look character, ships, effects, animation. The voice acting is great. The sex scenes that I've seen are well made but unfortunately quite disconnected.

And that is were it stops. Everything else feels lackluster, uninspired and/or amateurish.

The story reads like children's cartoon level villainy with some juvenile "sex, drugs and rock and roll" sprinkled on top of it. I chuckled at some of the humor but it fell flat about the same amount of the time. Humor is subjective though so there certainly people that will like it.

Game design wise there really isn't much there. The ship combat is the better part. The mechanics and controls feel good but it's just mostly the same. Defeating waves of ships again and again. There's different factions which have different ship and fighting styles. But since you aren't informed ahead of time (what are scanners again) you can't even tailor the one choice you have, you gunner, to the battle. The story/boss battles differ a bit have some additional mechanics but the number of those compared to the regular battles on the system maps is extremely slight.

The tactical side is even worse of. You can't even compare it to full fledged tactics game in the vein of Xcom. The closest would be Into the breach but it's a few leagues below. No goals besides kill X amount of enemy waves. No information in regards to what spawns of where. No environment interaction beside some blocked squares. Few abilites and passives. Boils down to just a damage race and trying to eliminate units before they get a turn.

Globally there's really nothing to do. Commanders and and Xenos level up but there's nothing to choose, nothing to manage. Don't know if there are plans to add anything but the only thing were I can currently see this mattering at all is enemy stats going up faster then your stats so you have to start grinding. In book that's a bad thing.
Global ship travel looks pretty but that's about it. There no resource management no opportunity cost. It just takes a bunch of time flying between planets. Right click to scan, left click to select. A bit of flavor text one bit of generic "event", ship or tactical combat.

Everything that is there feels polished. It's just that there is so few of it. Was there no game design vision beyond this? Then why try to make a game? Did they have a vision but not the skills to realize it? Usually that tends to lead to a buggy mess. I don't know what happened but I know I have a hard time seeing how they can improve things with additional chapters in this regard.

My opinion is that if you put gameplay beyond visual novel choices and puzzles in a porn game. Gameplay that is disconnected from the porn. Then that gameplay needs to be fun and be able to stand on it's own feet. I don't want to grind a bunch of stats/gifts to unlock porn scenes that don't even have any narrative connection. Especially not when the gameplay is repetitive and (eventually) boring.

I guess I'll give it another chance later down the line but from the looks of it I might just end up watching a cut of the scenes on pornhup.

Are the sex scenes really just comparable to .gif scenes? I was expecting more intimate, drawn out scenes.
If the scenes are really that underwhelming, then I'll be skipping this game.
(I like gameplay but I'll always prioritize scenes first.)
