asking for a save file for a "proof of concept" is wild
I thought the same thing. I was going to download it but I saw in the comments there was only one scene so I wanted to wait alittle bit to let more content build up.

Oh boy. Well, here's hoping that "third time's the charm" actually works.
I hope Nergal has learned from the mistakes from the original Urban Demons, but I also hope he retains the essence of UrbanXLife which, for those who don't know, is the original "original game" that was abandoned by Wootch (twice or thrice) an eon ago.
Nergal did a superb job of keeping in Urban Demons the "UrbanXLife feel" of corrupting the characters in a way that doesn't make it feel like a 180 at the turn of a hat (although, other corruption games have been pretty good about it too like Bones' Tale). I really liked Nergal's approach in the first UD where he gives the player a choice if they want to experience the game at its grindy pace (as was the case in UxL, except 3x grindier) or experience the game with a Summertime Saga-like pace where you don't need to grind to view the next scene, so I hope he keeps that choice in.
It would be nice if Nergal doesn't focus too much on the story since the ending in the first UD felt too shoehorned in and didn't really matter for much except to burden the player with a very long, drawn-out, and annoying sequence. I would instead prefer more screen time of Meridiana, the demon lady, since she only got about 3 scenes despite being a major plot character.
Looks like Nergal and co. learned how to really optimize for the RPGMaker engine. A lot of areas are condensed into a single map, the framerate is improved during scenes, and I didn't see any animation jank. Although, I do wish he kept the H-scene structure that UxL and Bones' Tale uses where you have the options to speed up, slow down, or climax. Even though it isn't necessary, there's a certain nostalgic charm to it being there that I can't explain. It is a POC beta so there's a chance that it could be implemented, who knows.

I agree and love glass fish's art. but if nergal can't get them back for whatever reason, then that's that

Who is developing this remake? Dont tell me the same dude Nergals Nest is just re-hashing this?
History Lesson: Nergal milked THE HELL out of Urban Demons and kept delaying content to the point where he was actually forced to release something because the fanbase started reporting his patreon, so faced with potential shutdown of his revenue stream he hastily released a bugged mess of a game and called it "completed". He would later rebrand to Naughty Underworld in order to try and get away from the terrible past of Nergals Nest.
EDIT: It's the same dude lmfao, he currently has 2 other games in development which are all essentally the same game; "Nicest" and "Solarion Project", bro is really trying to milk his old Urban Demons fans for even more huh...

honestly, solarion project has had regular updates so I'll give it a pass and he has been very open about how nicest is a side project that won't be the main prioirty. neither seem like the same developmental mess urban demon turned out to be.
Not only that but Urban Demons was like 7 years ago. Nergal has definitely gained a lot more experience and probably taken care of a lot of life's main quests that now allow him to spend more time on the games creation. I imagine at the time of the original he was probably juggling school/work, family/friend time, and other things.

Still doesnt bode well starting a new project while you have 2 ongoing, not to mention when your only completed project is one you rushed to completion and left a buggy mess.
For some people developers can do no wrong. Which is exactly why they can always take advantage of gullible patrons and supporters. Some people really do never learn I guess.
well we know where it gonna go...
they planning put more tag and what it is?
it is "Abandoned"..
i mean some mod have more scene, more dialog, from the original version.. and yes that preeeeety much good for me..

He didnt make a bad project thats the point. Urban Demons was very popular and he knew that so he was milking it to an insane degree. The other slight was that when he was finally FORCED to "finish" the game he just threw together some BS and called it a day, the final product is a rushed and buggy mess that required fans to complete in order to get it to a stable place.
Now I wouldn't say that. The two prominent mods that are still alive and being updated do not use the final version of urban demons as their base and their story is very different from one another. I do not know the history behind the game like you do because I got to play it when it was almost done, but I do remember it being awhile before it got the last updates, then finished, and then after there were bugs, a final patch came out to address most of them.
Yes I really like this series, so i might see the series through rose tinted glasses, but the game was finished. I think that because of how much influence this game still has Nergal decided to try to do the game some justice. The way the original game was rushed at the end a bit and then maybe any unresolved feelings he has twords the game will probably motivate him to make a great remake. You said it yourself, in a way, that this game is his biggest problem child from his past. So let him cook, and move past it.

I will still pirate and play the game but as far as financial support, nah, I only give porn game devs 1 shot to stay in my good graces. I am all for big tits/ass/incest so I guess all that is left to do is watch the thread and wait. I got nothing to lose this time around.
