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

[Izalith]

One thing's for certain: This game is definitely not the "Mass Effect" of porn games.
I would hesitate to call it a porn game at this point... the scenes just aren't there, and capping off character quest lines with a 3 min scene isn't good enough.

It is a game that has porn? Sure.
Is it porn with gameplay? Not really.

I bought it when it first came out and honestly I REEALLY love the story and it's a very funny game so far. The dialogue is hilarious and the gameplay isn't that bad. I've never really been a big fan of asteroids style ship fighting or w/e you call it, but it's not that bad. I really like the tactical battles though. Even though it's pretty basic I do enjoy it. Perhaps it's because I just crave anything that's FFT style gameplay lol.

The porn is pretty sparse, and you get the ability to unlock alot of it. Some of the scene are pretty friggen hot, but overall... not THAT "amazing" in my book. I'm sure more will come in time when they release more content. But the thing that I liked most about the game was that it was actually complete on release. I didn't run into one bug, crash, freeze, or glitch. I'm glad they put alot of effort into the game and I look forward to more content. I'm glad I paid for the game because I think this type of content should be supported for sure.

Summary:

1. They did not spend any Benjamins on marketing (debatable), and they are thanking us for promoting and hyping the game up
2. The focus of Pandora (on the latest build) is stability, they're going to add more fringe kinks (including Futa on Futa) on future updates. They went real-time in making these scenes
3. They understand the disappointment of the non-existent "sex within the story" kinda thing and now they are addressing it. FOW said that this Devotion quest is going to give us at least 3+ minutes of sex and they claim that the scenes "make their movies look amateurish"
4. You got the Elf Pornstar Elaisha joining your team while they expand the interaction between you and your gang (they mention a more in-depth gifting system, more interaction within the gang, and combat lines)
5. Cause they despise roadmaps, they wouldn't give any concrete estimate as to when the updates roll out. The bugfix is on the way (followed by Elaisha's Act and then Pandora system expansion after that)
6. Next month, they're looking into the modding section of the game -- but first, bug fixing and all that
7. They are hiring new team members (especially those with proficiency in Unreal Engine and C++ coding language (for the game), Blender, and Maya (for animations). So, yeah, if you got those mad skills and you have a Senior rank in it, do not hesitate to put out your resume. They are looking for new members as it is their "first and foremost" focus. Oh, yeah, experience in delivering an AA+ title is a must.

Reddit AMA is tomorrow in r/pcgaming at 2 PM EST accompanied by DEMI's VA, Bordeaux Black.

Drop by your thoughts here, if you'd like. I personally see this as a good sign, but I still hold onto future updates if I want to go back to playing the game.

EDIT:
Sometimes I left tiny details out. This is the final edit of the post. Thanks for understanding and sorry for any inconvenience.
EDIT 2:
Minor fixes.

I'm a bit surprised that the next arc is focused on Elaisha and that she is the next waifu to join the crew. I would expect that the Huntress (or fortune) would be the next waifu given the current state of the story.

Well I won't mind, since she is number 2 on my current waifu tier list.

You mean with patches and updates? I guess that is the downside of piracy vs have a legal version on steam...

just download the new version and transfer the save?

I take it that the game will be only sold on Steam for now because payment processors are sketch about dealing with adult games? I just don't get how Steam gets away with it. I know for a fact that porn websites are even using paypal now.

Payment processors are okay with vanilla porn. Bestiality, loli, incest, and rape are subjects that'll get a store in trouble with them, though monster rape seems to be in a bit of a gray zone and sites like to side-step the incest thing by prefixing everything with "step-".

I feel like it bears repeating, but Subverse is meant to be a fully-fledged game with porn in it. Game with porn, not a porn game. Also Mass Effect typically just gave us 30 second teases with nothing. So to get 3+ minutes of actual romance and sex? Still gonna be enough to blow that out the water.

And if ya want long movies...then just wait for the game to be done and for them to start making movies again. Hell if Subverse i even more of a success later on, who's to say they won't make films in its universe?

Well Steam unlike say Pornhub, is actually willing to go through the adult section and remove what would be considered illegal content. Pornhub just didn't feel like doing the work and just nuked everything that wasn't from a verified user.

And if you read the diary update, you know they're still working on their own website to sell the game, its just taking a bit more than they predicted.

 

[Deleted member 324588]

Do you expect something like


I'm a bit surprised that the next arc is focused on Elaisha and that she is the next waifu to join the crew. I would expect that the Huntress (or fortune) would be the next waifu given the current state of the story.

Wall I won't mind, since she is number 2 on my current waifu tier list.

Nah Huntress is gonna be hunting us a bit more before she'll eventually join. Most folks are surprised it isn't Fortune, but I predicted that given her early attitude and propensity for trying to stay hidden, she wouldn't join that soon. I think its more likely she helps us in finding and recruiting more ladies (Ela, Sova, and Taron), and then a situation will occur where she finally has to jump onboard. Then Huntress, then Blythe, and then finally Fow-chan in the endgame.

I personally will be waiting for full release. The newest update sounds good on paper, devotion quests are something to be excited about but if I remember correctly from one of the old updates it is the last thing they want to implement in the game, maybe even after 1.0 release.
Also if they are working on VR I hope none of the backer money went into it. Most backers probably do not own VR headset and do not intend to so they will never use this feature. Ofc there is no problem if it's just additional thing, but you can never know if main game didn't lose something because of it.

Edit:

Yeah, info from 14 August 2020, it may be outdated ofc, but that's what we know for now.

Story purposes, I guess. But I wouldn't mind having an elf early game.

Think of Fortune or the Huntress as Viola DeWynter from Saints Row the Third. You met them early game only to join the gang in the later plot of the game.

All you got to do is wait for someone to update the files, or hoping the game save has longshot compatibility which I appreciate greatly.

Likely outdated now, as that was written when they were still on the 'release as a full game' plan.

 

[Razrback16]

Ya I'm fine with them adding Elaisha now, and seeing what happens with Huntress / Fortune later. It mixes it up a little to tease Fortune a bit and then add her later, too. I'm good with that.

 

[Gwedelino]

If Elaisha doesn't have at least 1 yuri scene, I riot !
