RPGM - The Solarion Project [v0.31.2] [Naughty Underworld]

OK, I've waited a long time before playing this game to have a better idea of what Nergal was intending to do. I still didn't play everything, but I did finish the main quest. And here are my thoughts.

Pros

Great graphics - high resolution, nice art style, even if you don't like the design of the girls, you must admit that the art is top-notch, with nice color and effects.

Lots of Non-Sex CGs - This really surprised me, not many devs use their art budget to actually make the story more appealing. This is a good indication that Nergal don't want you just to fap to this game, but also tell a story, which is great.

Lots of sex - Seems he intends to have many sex scenes with the main cast girls like in his previous games, but also, lots of side quests with other girls to have sex with (which for now can actually be faster than doing it with your crew), I appreciate it.

Cons

Too many sidequests - Ok let me explain. When games try to have lots of content with sidequests, like Skyrim, Assassins Creed 1, etc, the player can get overwhelmed with the side quest and forget the main quest. Here, you open the sidequests of the girl immediately, so you are encouraged to pursue their quest lines instead of the main quest. To solve that, you should tie their progressions with the main quest progression. For example, when a girl wants to go to Planet X, the player must wait until planet X is available to go through the main quest.

Lack of interaction with the girls aside from their questlines. - Not seeing and knowing the girls before their pursing them makes you care less for their stories, and for now, only Lilith, and Maleana shine a little during the main quest, but not nearly enough for me to care about their storylines. What I suggested before should also solve that if the main quest gives each one of them time to shine. You can make the initial quest for each of them only be available after some event in which they appeared.

Ui is still not great. - I know it's a work in progress, but the UI is buggy, and not very appealing in the moment. Also, most of the hotkeys don't actually work.

Lack gameplay. - I know you are planning some minigames, like combat one, and possibly a trade one, by what I've seen in the game, so I won't complain much about that, I just feel that there are many parts that stuff is told when instead you should be doing it.

Lots of bugs, including a game-breaking one after the ejaculation in the Black Girl scene.

Summarizing, the game is still too WIP to make a good judgment, I've liked some things, but without more action of girls, I care too little about them to pursue their storylines, I did finish Lilith one, and liked it, but she is the that calls most attention during the cutscenes. I'm not sure if you intend to dub the game, I saw that special video on Youtube with Lilith VA, I hope that's not just a special and that the game really gets dubbing, it would be nice.

The current state showed me a glance of a what could become a good game. The UI is slow and ugly and needs to get worked on much, the dialoges are funny and well made, the "free roam" isn't too grindy either (> good), the lewd stuff is rather bad atm- most of the scenes aren't yet animated (I really do wish these scenes will be redone in later updates!!!) and nothing more than still images (yet, with a "progress button" lol) with text. I was able to enjoy the little content it has to offer atm, but this game needs much more quality work. And PLEASE, add an option to hide the UI / text box completely, like common Ren'Py games use to do (by hitting "h").

Enjoyed the game. Not sure how frequent Nergal releases updates for this but this was the first time I played the game and I was happy with the amount of content that was there.
- My favorite part of the game is of course the thick girls. The art is well drawn and the sex scenes are hot. I wish we could get more interaction options during sex.
- The progression is really linear and gameplay loop gets tedious - kinda makes me wonder why the game was developed using Unity while an engine like Renpy would have been sufficient.
- The UI is simple and easy to navigate through. Some of the text coloring made it hard to read dialogs though. The galaxy map did its job without too much trouble.
- The story is decent. Nothing in your face and good enough for a porn game.

Overall I wouldn't call this game the next big thing but its a good time burner.
I was able to complete all the current content in one 3 hour sitting.

Story:

So you play as this kid who inherits a spaceship from his dad, filled with curvy alien crewmates, and sets off as the new captain. The game is clearly inspired by mass effect, and as such there's a lot of hanging out with your crew, growing closer and solving their problems. Thankfully, I found the ladies personalities to be pleasent and varied. You are free to pursue each crewmember's path as you see fit. The story is fairly simplistic, and doesnt take itself seriously, but it does it's job.

Gameplay:

This is where the biggest issue with the game arises. Like in Mass Effect, you can navigate around a universe map, choosing the galaxies and planets you want to land on. However, right now, the navegation has some very annoying problems. First off, the planets are way smaller than they needed to be. Then there are the planet names, which are shown through text bubbles. However, the text bubbles are not coming out of the respective planet, they are just placed in the general vicinity randomly. So you have a big textbox near 3 small planets, and it's anyone's guess which of the planets is the one with that name. That's when you can even see the planet's at all, as the names have a tendency to block the view of the planets. It's not a deal breaker, I was still able to get where I needed to go, but it was more troublesome than it needed to be.
Other than that, the game plays mostly like an open VN. There is some sort of combat system to be added, but since it's not implemented yet, I can't comment on it.
It's worth mentioning that I did find a bug in one of the quests that halted progression. I was able to solve it digging around the thread, but still.

Visuals:

You can tell from the pics that the game is made towards the thicc lovers out there, and it delivers. The art is great, and the animations are smooth. Unfortunatly, as of right now, there are only a handful of animated scenes. The dev does mention that the end goal is to have all scenes be animated, but as of right now, I do wish there was more.

Conclusion:

I think this game is just a bit short of being great, just needs to smooth out some edges and implement the planned features. The navigation surely needs work, and more animation would go a long way. Hopefully, the combat is fun as well. With these issues fixed, I will check back to give this game 5 stars. I Love the art, the chracters are nice, the setting is cool, and it's just a charming game all around.

-Mostly about V0.13 but also the game in general:

I use to really like this game. Usually love games with chicks with giants tits but the sex progress is so slow. the sex scenes are sooo extremely vanilla soft(boring for me). Pretty fucking sure Lilith is teasing for anal: (the first pic she send of her butt on the cellphone and we can finger her ass in the shower) but here we are with what feel like base 2. I know im not expecting that we can do hardcore anal to all the girls or anything but Like the build(V0.13) is doesn't have enough content to fap straigth up like yeah theres like 2-3 good pics of lillith but that's it. The sex scene is just one pic of them from the side. And i subscribe 2 times like 1$(and prolly more i don't remember) i know it ain't shit but like after like 3 months in between, there was not like 1 new pic or anything new.

At first I thought this would be awesome as Nergal seems to have similar tastes to mine (curvy bodies, though I'm more ass-oriented than tits-oriented) and has done UD, which is a legend amongst the community.

Don't get me wrong, I don't hate this game and it has HUGE potential to become a fap-fest game, but this is not the way this game should go ... Let me explain:

First of all, the game MAY be in the early stages of development, but there are a few basics that ruins the experience almost completely. I understand that you want to make a game based on a story with a blocking path system... There is nothing wrong with the idea, BUT you are not executing it quite right... I mean, you want to create realistic personalities but MC fucks a criminal in the most unreal way in just a few minutes in the game for no apparent reason...

Speaking of personalities, the characters aren't really that charismatic right now (obviously future updates could add some great context and lore to them), and I don't blame you for that as I'm not playing this for the story :^).

Everything I've said about development is already pretty incongruous, but what I hated the most is obviously the navigation system... What a waste of time between scenes... You could have put that effort into making BIG improvements to the general game quality...

Also, you make the gallery inaccessible between saves and what's worse... you CAPPED the number of saves to 3 or 4. So, you are telling me if I want to see the photos of the girl I farmed up a while ago... I have to repeat everything I've already done, right?

My low rating isn't really objective because the game already has fap material in it, but the way it's implemented... it could kill the game in the long run. I am a fan of this art style and will follow the trail of this game as it has potential .

I look forward to what this has to offer. By the way, I am sorry if something written here seems offensive as English is not my mother tongue and some expressions may seem distant from what I thought at first.

Couldn't spend more than 30 minutes with this one.
Most of that time was spent in intro that supposedly presented chars (some of which seem like slightly changed copies of each other) and then navigation started. And boy is it terrible at the moment. 90% of the time the buttons didn't work for me (before randomly deciding to work). You can easily fly away from the "star system" circle thinking maybe that's how it works before noticing your ship glitching out.
Overall artstyle also isn't too impressive. Not a great start.

Pretty bland story, characters are hot. No harem isn't a deal breaker for me but trying to force a linear relationship when the story isn't (at least it doesn't feel that way) just doesn't mix together well. The navigation system could be a lot more fluid, you only get one indicator on the map per mission. Have to guess or remember which planet you can fuel on too.
I get this is an adventure game first and sex game second, but who are you kidding? Also no mac mode atm, won't go higher than three until that, and the option to fuck with no consequences. That second option isn't a real deal breaker tho, just my personal gripe.

5 star rating trusting Nergal. It's one of the best creator of the recent years, UD was a masterpiece and A Zombie Life was good too. This game could be his best original work, the guy should just focus and stop wasting time on his others side projects. If Nergal is reading this, you just need to implemente the main story and the battle system, and only then you should work on the single characters progression. You're making a game before making an H Game and the gaming part of this it's still... Well, nonexistent. That said, that's a huge potential in this one. Keep going, Nergal.

I played this yesterday since i really got bored of checking for game bugs of the ''other game projects that shall not be named '' and holy DAMN this is beyond perfection!!!

the intro was gray until i actually get the hand of the first sight of the CREW and holy shocks! stunned by what was going to happen next to every single of these crew enthusiastic members ...

missions are ok, space warps and refill of fuel on certain planets are also fine.

didn't get the hand of trying to avoid those rebel ships all around the systems but i guess that's just myself

the choice when you reach certain progress with each character of *just friendship* idk why its that an option since i guess many will opt in to have a sexual relation with every single member of the crew without they feeling bothered about it. i just played 2 hrs so far so maybe im missing something when comes to choice to only being friend of an specific character maybe?

i guess both author and art maker really did a pretty DAMN job so far and specially when using Unity as their engine 10/10 for that =)

props and holy F once again you seem to amaze people regardless of your reputation when comes to abandoning some games? anyways im a newcomer so i don't even care at all about judgement stuff regarding author's actions so ... yeah GOOD JOB NERGAL as well witchking00 <3

edit: haven't suffered from game FPS drops, but i try to using it in a laptop to check out any performance issues on Higher settings tho.

can't wait to see the fighting system to be implemented <3 since i really love the RPG fight concept or whatever concept the author consider to add into the game

I have to admit, I was pleasantly surprised by this one. Likable cast of characters ,solid writing and great art.
It definitely needs some optimization, likely due to unity being finicky, there seems to be a lot of memory leaks and it lags during transition periods even on a fairly high end pc, but other than that it shows a lot of promise.

Im really dissapointed to give this game such a poor rating, because I love Nergal. But the gameplay is far too slow and its filled with all this background dialogue about characters who I don't understand why I should care about. In terms of h-scenes and kinkiness its also severely lacking.

The art isn't that good. All characters have the same body-type and face and really only differ in skin and hair color. This might not bother some people but it does for me. Plus the game just drags soooo long. IMO dialogue which develops characters should also serve to push the narrative forward, and most of the dialogue doesnt do that.

Where do I start, the navigation is crap and takes too long to get from point A to point B, I hate that I have to spend up to 20 minutes flying in space with nothing to do waiting to get to one scene. And because it's a chore to travel for so little pay off it basicly makes the game boring as all hell. Maybe if they make navigating not take forever or soemthing I'll like the game but as it stands the game is not worth the effort that has to be put in.

if this is the demo i can't wait to see the finished game. It's put together beautifully from the game play to the music the music is amazing. the art work fucking amazing i've been a fan of NergalsNest for awhile now and i most say hands down this is number 1. Now the only negative thing i have to say is i hate the demo is already 1.36 Gb so when it gets high i most likely won't be able to download and play cause i'm a poor man with a regular laptop but other then that Keep up the amazing work.

Fantastic Game, Love the Artist! Been a fan of WitchKing00 for a long time and immediate recognized their art. Played the game so far for about 30 minutes and am already hooked. Im very excited to see how it progresses and even more ecstatic to see it once its finished.

Keep up the great work!

First things first, it looks good visually, i mean the characters and the menu. I havent seen any animations yet as of now (version 0.2 Demo) although one of the tags says so but the game just barelly came out a week ago or so, therefore ill forgive the game. Scratch the Bold and Underlined part, just finished the DEMO and there ARE animations pretty good ones to, so for that the review score jumps from a 3/5 to a 4/5.

But i found out 5 problems the game has for me, the bellow are the problems and solutions (in my opinion Obviously):
- NERF the clicking, by implement a skip button like CTRL or SHIFT.
- Make the ship go faster when flying in space (boring and tedious)
- Instead of having many galaxies (just to make the game seem bigger) focus on one and spread the missions throughout the planets in that ONE galaxy.
- NERF the loading screens that we have to go through for EACH division of the ship, planets etc. (i have a decent pc and with the settings set on VERY LOW the loadings were still fucking long as shit, kinda anoying not gonna lie)
- When i load the game wether in space or inside my ship the game either loads in a CG in place of the room im in when im inside the ship and when im in space some times the camera fucks up and what i see is just the bottom of the ship, i can still see the galaxy but the camera is locked underneath the ship.

PS - Thank god the game is NOT a Visual Novel.

I have a lot of expectations for this game.
The art is amazing and the atmosphere in the game is great.
In this demo you spend a lot of time reading on the character's background but I'm pretty sure that you don't really have to if you don't want and you can skip it.
When I saw the size of the file I was expecting more content but I think that it's so big because of there are many planets and the amazing art style.
But this is a demo so it wasn't supposed to have a lot of content in it, but it still has enough to see what's this game's vision is.
