Why are you judging it like it was a finished product? Its a test build in the middle of the demo production. The professor dont come at you and complain about your masters thesis looking like shit and give you bad grades after seeing your intro... or something like that.After trying out the latest build I honestly don't think the devs have what it takes to make a proper RPG or at least one that is semi enjoyable. This is their second attempt at a demo quest and it feels very amateurish, it's so bad in fact that it's not even worth attempting to play through it, no voices, no proper direction or UI/journal for the quests, poorly written and nothing explained, honestly feels like it was rushed and was made in a few days.
I actually agree on that one but I think I liked that animation just because of the female pose. That can be done with other creatures besides a hideous goat man...The goat has unironically my favorite animations in the game, those where he uses his mouth in particular. He's small, yet primal and dominant. Can't wait to see more with him.
I completely second that!After trying out the latest build I honestly don't think the devs have what it takes to make a proper RPG or at least one that is semi enjoyable.

Then you have the quest sex scenes and they are even worse, just there usual animations with fixed camera views like WTF? Honestly the only great thing about this game is still the animations and sex physics, they are best of the best in that department but everything else is lacking badly.
This feels like going to a kindergarten and telling the kids there's no santa.as part of scrum teams, part of actual developer teams, larger than 20ppl, for over 15 years now, I very well know what a terrible attempt versus a semi-passable tech-DEMO is.
[...] the actual RPG mechanics are years from ready. As in 3-4 years.
Let's enjoy what Steve's team can deliver, and not judge them, since it is STILL the best-looking porn game out there, with the most 3d details and the only that classifies as an actual porn. For me.
you have to type alt+0 to activate VRHow do I get the VR up and running? I have a Cosmos. In the headset it just says "next up wildlifecwin64-shipping" alt+v doesn't do anything. i see vive controller plugins in the files but i don't know if i need to move anything around.
Patreon going nuclear on porn is always a possibility, yes. But I was comparing the steady income to the regular development cycle, where you are given a certain amount of funds and are expected to deliver something that returns the investment and then some in a certain timespan. What they're currently doing with all those experiments is more akin to the conceptual phase where devs try out some rough ideas and decide to go for that which looks the most promising.Not sure actually how "safe and steady" the income is. The more "woke" the US gets (the HQ of Paypal is there and is I think the primary system used by Patreon), the more likely Paypal/Patreon will shut down any pornographic creators. Then what? Most creators that go to SubscribeStar make a fraction of what they used to make on Patreon before patreon shut down their stuff. So, if Paypal did shut down AdeptusSteve's patreon, would they actually be able to generate enough funds to keep the company afloat? After all, no one expected Tumblr to crack down on Pornography, until they did.
Otherwise totally agree with you. The gameplay aspects are going nowhere and they can't seem to decide what kind of RPG it will be (ie TPS RPG, Tribal-Era RPG, Dark-Souls Esque RPG, RPG with restrictive porn, Porn with restrictive RPG, etc...). Even the porn, has some really antiquated animations in it; like the Minotaur throne animations, that aren't really good and has the Minotaur sitting in midair.
I dunno what I think of Max, other than he is pretty cocksure, despite having nothing really to be cocksure about. I'm not really a fan of Maya either, because I'm not into the "tribal" females, and she is quite tribal looking. Plus she has crushed butt and boobs, which is a symptom of the non-universal meshes.
Yeah I don't think they know what they want either. The porn is the biggest selling point, but it does seem to be taking a backburner now to the other aspects.
Indeed, there are a couple of 3D titles on here developed by only one guy that show more promise at least in terms of the story/narrative and some gameplay mechanics. Wild Life have a half decent sized team and still the only really good thing about this game is the quality of the sex animations and some of the physics implemented.Slow development cycle is quite the understatement. Its nice that they have so many sex animations, but I've seen 2 person teams develop gameplay systems faster than this. True they weren't doing any complex animations, but making good gameplay, narratives and making your choices feel meaningful, they certainly got done faster.
