Unity - Abandoned - Tamer [v0.0.7.1 Test Build] [Plague Studios]

Hits all the right kinks for me so I really like it. Sadly the game is still in test build and is loaded with bugs. Still, if it matches your interests I suggest you try it. I love what's it going for especially the char customization.

[Test Build V0.0.7.1]
Character creator is nice, and the art is pretty good. Though the actual gameplay is broken. I fumbled around for the first day not really doing a lot since there isn't a lot of stuff to guide you. Dialogue breaks after first choice with every NPC I've talked to. After first day, game completely broke on me, and I couldn't move. Had to close the game.

[v0.0.7.1 Test Build]
The concept is good, but everything else is a bit shit. Fingers crossed that it'll improve over time

I won't comment on the art since you can see it for yourself, and you already know if you like it or not.

Character creation is always nice to have, and it's good enough here. It could be slightly easier to use, especially with the clothing previews, but it's not really an issue

The dialogue is weird, and the dialogue system is clunky. You interact with a character by pressing space bar, then you have to wait for the text to slowly fill the text box. In most games, you'd click and it would speed the text up or finish writing it out instantly, but in this game if you click before the text finishes it'll skip to the next line. You can also advance text with space, but you can only make choices with the mouse, so that kills one-handed play. Also a lot of the dialogue seems bugged or just written weird.
"Tell me about yourself" and the NPC responds with "Thanks, have a good day"

The combat is fine. Nothing amazing, nothing terrible. The only problem I have with it is that combat animations are done standing in place. So, say you choose to tease an enemy by grabbing their dick or whatever, your character will just stand on the far left of the screen and vaguely gesture towards the enemy

The sex scenes would be fine, but they all involve QTEs, everyone's favorite. They're pretty strict too, so you really have to pay attention to those and not the porn. Forcing the player to look away from the porn in a porn game seems like the dumbest design decision I could imagine

Walking around town isn't great either, but could easily be improved by just making a better town. Every building looks nearly identical with a couple exceptions, there are no landmarks to be able to tell where you're at, and there's no indication of where you're supposed to be going (you're supposed to go to a cave in the top left)

Version: v0.0.5.1

One words perfectly describes this game: Scuffed

Its rough in every sense of the word, quite frankly i dont even need to or want to explain why this game is bad, just dont bother.

Although kudos to the developer for your first game, considering this is better then what most would be able to do on their first try.

I like the concept, and character creation is always a fantastic thing to see in a game, the artstyle is unique, not really great (in my personal opinion) but it's not bad.

The 0.0.5 version really shows, though. There is practically no plot, no real explanation for why anything is happening, the writing is bad, animations are slightly worse than Simbro's, and even a little more buggy with disappearing things here and there. The game's speed is a little too slow for my liking, feels like it takes ages to do anything, encoutners need a few seconds to load in so it feels quite jank, stats have no explanation so you're just guessing most of the time, numbers are a little inflated (started with 10 strength and was up to 70 within 10 minutes of gameplay). Another thing I'd like to add is that the environment really needs some work, I know it's a porn game but the environment is lackluster at best, the layout of the starting area is comically bad.

The flaws are many, but again, it's v0.0.5 I think this can be a solid game with a wide variety of kinks given time, but we all know how porn game development goes 90% of the time. So while I'm not at the edge of my seat , I definitely will come back to check up on this one's progress.

the best: to customize the protagonist to futa furry, you can catch like pokemons but with sex!
The worsT: fights without good animations, you just have 2 slots to set characters, lacks of key objects and history, but it's normal, i've tested the v.0.0.5, great look, hope to see the final version!

Maybe it can be worth playing at some point but that is in a *very* long and distant future. Between the pathetically slow speed that everything happens at to the laughably poor animations there really isn't a whole lot to recommend.

[v0.0.5.1]
I thought the reviews are old and the new update might make them less harsh, I was wrong.

Putting the art style aside,

there's clipping issues- hair, legs clip through other body parts;

customization issues- no preview color picking, limited options, bugged sheathed weapons, traps and futas only differ because breast sizes;

inventory issues- loot empty enemy inventory to get white squares, equipping items needs extra buttons;

exploration issues- large spaces, slow pace, lots of npcs, little interaction;

optimization issues (battles are slow to start, taming minigame is frustrating, sounds (voices) mix between male and female without care, different races have seemingly different art styles, limited races.

Hardly any progress (from scratch) for a game so long in development and i really don't see any appeal in it's core elements- neither NSFW nor Gameplay.

The game certainly has a strong foundational idea and direction, I'll give it that. I was excited by the description, and I hope it can eventually accomplish what it's intended to.

Currently, however, it's still far too early in the dev cycle to be a good product. Not that there's anything wrong with early dev builds in this community, but there's a little bit more to it than just being early in the cycle... it feels like a version that wasn't even intended for public access yet.

My problems with it are threefold;

1 - The visual appeal is fairly lacking. Animations are stiff, basic, and repetitive. The art style works well on static images, but the moving models leave a lot to be desired. It's somewhat excusable given that the game is still early in development, but from what I've seen the general idea with adult games is that the primary goal and most important 'ingredient' is making the game visually appealing. I hope to see the models and animation get a lot of polish as this continues development - perhaps the devs are taking a gameplay-first approach and planning on fleshing out the visuals later?

2 - The dialog is full of typos and bland writing - obviously placeholder text intended to just get the idea across before the final product is put in place.

3 - While the combat of the game is fairly compelling as a JRPG-style game, the Taming/Seducing part of it seems shockingly lacking by comparison. It's just an arrow mashing sequence of Quick-Time events that barely pass for interaction. I get that a lot of lewd games like to let you 'play one-handed' so to speak, but this takes it a bit far.

Overall, I'm excited to see where this goes, but ultimately I feel that the current product is simply too raw to be enjoyable. Right now it isn't just 'unpolished early access with placeholders', it's 'rough first draft that needs to be proofed before compiling'.

Gameplay is serviceable, art is well above average, character builder is great to have and the theme and harem building aspect seems interesting. What could be a promising game is however ruined by atrocious animation - it goes well beyond the point of awkwardness into territory where you often can't even tell what's supposed to be happening.

It sucks because otherwise the game seems like it could turn out very interesting, but when the erotic content is completely worthless I can't give more than 2 stars. It could definitely be salvaged by having someone competent redo all the animations, but until they do that I suggest to hold off downloading.

The art is nice, the idea fun, then those run head first into a game that's a chore to play. The system is overly gamey and it doesn't do it that well, the battle pacing in particular felt too fast, then to see in the notes that they're upping the challenge level more... it takes a great concept and great sexual direction and wrecks it by trying to focus on a game side at the expense of the adult side. Somewhere in how it's developing the fun gets lost, if I don't want to play it I'm not going to get around to FAP'ing to it.

It certainly has potential to be great but in its current state it's hard to give it anything above a 2. Its a buggy mess that lacks direction and has a really long way to go before its actually presentable. A lack of animations, somewhat limited customization, difficult to tell the genders of the enemies on the field, there's a whole slew of issues that will have to be addressed eventually.

For what it is, though, it's shows promise as a concept for a straight forward RPG open world character tamer. Can't really say much about the mechanics themselves as there's a severe lack of balance currently and is less of a demo and more of a proof of concept. Physical damage to just win the fight and lust damage to qualify for taming. I like that the taming is made into a minigame where you press arrows to fill a bar but it does make me wonder what the balance for this will be. I would assume your skill in sexual ability will give you more progress per correct action while allure might be used to increase taming attempts.

I would give this game a pretty hard pass for a while. Wait on it and see where it goes considering plague studio doesn't have any other games and it might be too skeptical of me to say it this early but not sure I would trust this game to be developed in a timely manner. Playing for about 30 minutes or so and tiles tearing out of place was pretty common, being unable to heal mid combat and most battles consisting of 2 or 3 enemies is a pain at the start, at some point every npc just bugged out and I couldn't talk to anyone and then after restarting the game I lost every character I had tamed before hand. I genuinely hope the game does well but with a lack of direction and an unknownly large scope I can only assume based on previous experiences that this could easily just enter a never ending development hell of ideas, characters, and content being added but nothing actually developed.

Game is really good, it has a good character customiser (all though I would like it to have a bit more depth) art is good and I really like the theme of it. My only major complaint is the bugs, if the devalopers can iron our the bugs the game would be an easy 5 stars. These bugs can sometime be game breaking however I managed to fix them by saving the game then loading that save, another complaint I have is on some of the animations some parts of the body are cut and you can see it. Other than that this game has great potential and I will defiantly be keeping an eye out for updates.

This game is good, i really like art, gameplay and the setting... but it's buggy as hell.

I had to restart 3 times to get through tutorial, then after 2 battles enemies bugged out and there was nothing i could do other than restart, there is no save option yet and i would have to do everything all over again so i gave up.

I can already see that i will like this game, but i will wait until it's more polished before trying again.

*written at first release*
i have high hopes for this game- first release has basic game mechanics down pretty well (excellent for a first release), some bugs and further development obviously in progress, but a solid base for further work & expaonsion.
the character creation system works well and has potential for a widevariety of characters, giving a nice array of auto generated content.
there are four "sexes", something formost tastes, but also settings to disable for the impossibly heterosexual.
honestly, even if this game simply creates more levels and storyline without exploring any additional systems, it would be a great game. personally i hope the see several more mechanics added to the game. (slave selection, training, trading, magical mind & body modification, & posibly breeding would all integrate beuatifully)
