Breeders of the Nephelym

[Miscellaneous Forum Viewer]

Much of my praise and criticisms would mimic Cog's and TheDarkMaster's comments, so I'll just ask some questions. You seem to be doing what Breeding Season promised except better. So far.

1. You mentioned body type and I noticed the "Fat and fit" checkbox on the fetish list so I assume there'll be chubby and muscular monsters. But does that mean we might come across a Amazonian Bovaur or a Harpy with a bit more thickness to them? Perhaps rarely.

2. Will there be a male and female version of every type?

3. How do you feel about intersex options? Or "trap" characters such as a feminine male or tomboyish female?

Note, I played the public build and was quite impressed. If I were financially able, I would likely offer my support. So it's likely you'll get folks who are a bit more affluent to donate with what you've shown so far. I can only offer encouragement presently.

 

[Cog]

I think TheDarkMaster nailed down most of my criticisms, with the exception of the water and bloom (since I'm playing on low graphics, I expect most graphical issues to be due to that). The only other critique I had involved the breeding options: as is, only nephelym that have compatible animations can breed, which means everything else can only be used for harvesting. Since the only real genetic trait handed down right now is color scheme, this isn't a super big problem, but it does mean that nothing else can gain levels or breed new creatures. It might be worth it to leave the 'no animation' warning, but allow the end result to take place, so that you can breed and/or level your harpies, for example.

@Cog: Thanks for the feedback! That harvest crash should be fixed in tonight's patron build, along with a lot of other bugs.
As for phenotypes, right now it's fairly primitive. The offspring has a significantly greater chance of inheriting their parent's color scheme, and that's it. Eventually, I want to open it up to body type, stats, etc.
Also feel free to voice what you aren't a fan of--I want to hear all feedback and improve the game as much as possible.

OK... I'm tested the public demo and some points:

1 - Put a map. Getting lost is a bad thing for players
2 - Make move speed AT LEAST 3 times faster. Seriously getting lost is already very VERY bad for players, getting lost while moving at 2 centimeters/hours is beyond horrible.
3 - A tutorial would be good, at least a button "help" when you press esc that shows what buttons in the keyboard do, and a small tutorial. Seriously one "go to the city to the left> talk with X> buy the monsters house> go to Y" would already go a LONG way.

These are the 3 things that were glaring the most about this game. I could question the necessity of a world that big if it's empty, seriously the road for the "hunting" places are pure waste of time, if you ask me. But before anything else be talked about i think these 3 things need to be fixed.

And i would argue that when you fix these 3 things THAT should be the "public" demo. Like for real, game looks good, but for the most part is boring. Before even understanding what i needed to do and wth was going on i lost a solid 20 minutes and i'm pretty sure alot of ppl would just give up and say the game isn't playable.

 

[DerelictWulf]

Appreciate the feedback! Fast travel is a current priority. I understand the world is empty, think of it as a blank canvas waiting to be filled. I am only one guy, it will take time, but I am dedicated to it.

@Miscellaneous Forum Viewer:
1. Yes this already exists. You can find a fat Harpy or a fit Bovaur, but it's more uncommon than fat Bovaur and fit Harpy. Eventually, I will have it so you can fatten or increase the fitness of your monsters.
2. Of wild Nephelym yes, elites are for the store/adventure and will usually be one or the other.
3. Not against it, but currently no plans to implement it specifically. Some characters/Nephelym might adopt such a look.

#3 is a bit saddening, as trappy monsterboys are seriously the gold market... but I'm hopeful we will end up seeing one based on the promise the game holds. If I were to give advice, you could always introduce a trappy-esque character as an Elite (barring story conflicts), and leave it as an optional road for those who want it to simply wait. It'd show that you're open to the content, and give room for you to provide Patreon voters who might be on the fence a reason to jump in to vote against/for it.

Polling topics such as trappy characters and features beyond just physical fitness will do you amazing work. I'm not sure if you've considered it/have it listed as an intended feature, but have you thought about including a "scale" for monsters? This would be the "tiny and small" factor, but likely require changes to how animations function to ensure no clipping or "floating" occurs. I think the reason people are asking is because of the clear inspiration from Cloud Meadow and Breeding Season the game seems to hold, where traits and breeding will provide different and more interesting things to stick a dick in or rub a cunt on. You're under no obligation to hit these marks, especially as a 3D game has more complexity versus the art-style and simpler structure of 2D programs, but it's something you should definitely consider moving forward.

Going to maybe be downloading the public demo soon, though, so I can get a better feel for where/how things will likely move. I'm definitely hoping you make good decisions and heed to all the communities you involve/bring into your development fold, since so many have made crippling mistakes in the past by alienating these groups. A lack of transparency is a downfall many XXX game-devs tend to suffer from (understandably), so conquering that as you have by immediately releasing the public demo to back you validity is a good move. It's clear you're looking forward and staying on task, and that's something that really is rare.

And I'll toss a PM yer way with a typo collection once I'm in the game. As one of the many writers around the forum, I'm all for helping polish any of that crap outta games when I spot it =3=b

 

[TheDarkMaster]

It is worth noting that it is generally easier to adapt 3d animations than it is to adapt 2d ones. As long as the actors all have the same relative shape and size, you can adapt any scene or animation to any two bodies. 2d animation is much harder, since you have to actually animate each body separately.

I just figure the exchange of art style is replace by finding ways to alter animations for the different model sizes/make new ones from the old somehow.

It's all thankless work, but if it's easier then maybe it's not as much of a stretch to hope for altered sizes of the nephelym.

1. Dude, had I know I woulda kept lookin' for that fit Bovaur. That's cool.
2. Excellent.
3. It ain't a make it or break it type of fetish for me, I just have this weird thing about feminine and submissive sexual partners. And it doubles for folks or archetypes that are normally not, being made submissive. Traps, muscular women. The act of perceived submission to me seems to be my actual preference rather than sex or gender. However, a trap could simply use a slightly altered female model if the idea ever interests you. It's a popular and not usually implemented well fetish.

Note: it's a similar thing for hermaphrodites and shemales when it could to the 3d model as well. It's not my intention to pressure you into adding my fetish to your game, just some thoughts on the topic.

Edited Addendum: Is there intention for perhaps a building or something to set aside our favorite "pets"? Like say I finally got that athletic Bovaur or something that really scratches that itch but has terrible stats/takes up space in the barn and we don't wanna accidentally sell or something.

 

[Cog]

I think I somehow ran smack into a genderbent Vulwarg right out of the gate. I didn't try to capture it, more fool me, since it was the first Vulwarg I'd found and I was looking for foxen. Did I actually see this, or am I completely off my rocker? I may be misremembering.

@Miscellaneous Forum Viewer, I'd guess, though DerelictWulf would have to confirm, that getting a fit Bovaur may become a great deal easier once fit is turned into a phenotype instead of random chance. After all, this is a breeding game, so my hope is that you could breed for fitness instead of having to rely on luck. Though I agree that being able to bookmark or otherwise set aside favorites could be quite useful.

 

[TheDarkMaster]

One thing that would be helpful for players is if there was a publically available list of all animations in the game, along with which version they were added in. That will make it a lot easier to find the scenes in the game and with which player characters rather than having to rely on trial and error.

 

[Urchin]

I read through the whole Patreon post and this looks like a really ambitious high-quality project! I love how it caters to such a wide audience and is very inclusive! The fit/fat is an amazing feature that is definitely something I'm looking forward to! I really wish you the very best with this!

Just as a personal preference, for the current revealed Nephelym, the females hit all the right buttons with the human faces with animal features (more of a kemonomimi design style rather than full on furry, with the exception of the Vulwarg female). But the males almost all have animal heads and furred torsos. I was wondering if there were any plans to release male Nephelym with human-ish faces? Or perhaps have alternative males - some more animalistic, and some more human and more similar to the females. I would love to have some males that I could have fun with too! No offence to people who enjoy furry (I always support someone's right to get their kink on), but for me personally, full-on male furry is a bit too much for me, but kemonomimi of either gender is always excellent. With the current roster, fox-boys, cow-boys, bird-boys, snake-boys, yes please! :3

Anyway, that's just my personal preference, but I hope you would consider implementing something of sorts to cater to people like me! This definitely looks like something I'd like to support in the future! Good luck with everything!

 

[Ethereal Dragon]

It is indeed an ambitious project, it looks to be right up there in the area of Monster Girl Island and Rack 2

 

[karunama]

I skimmed through some of the questions asked in here and a question of my own occurred. You said that no offspring will be produced for same sex couplings, which is understandable, but this is ostensibly a game *about* breeding. For those of us who are only interested in m/m or f/f content, does this actually function as a playable game?

To be clear, I'm not doubting whether it will work as porn, I'm asking if you can actually play the game and experience all the relevant content that way. Is there a point to playing a 'breeding game' when you can't actually access the breeding?

 

[cumlovingdudexxx]

I've been trying to play the game because it looks amazin but everytime i try to start up the game an error says that XAPOFX1_5.dll is missing. is there a fix for that?

 

[Demonickwolf]

My gods man, this is gorgeous. What are you using to create this game? I've been wanting to start making my own games as well, but i haven't found good programs that i like yet. Yours is breathtaking though!

I think the first question you should ask yourself is this - what's the logic in playing breeding games if all you're interested in is same sex content, which by itself makes reproduction inviable? The author could implement in-vitro fertilization but truth be told it doesn't look like it fits the theme.

On the other hand it may be possible to come up with a system where if animals are put together, for example, in a field, there's a small chance of auto-procreation occuring (assuming both genders are present). But that would take away the point of choosing certain traits/perks from one parent or the other, so maybe one could manually choose two creatures and automatically breed them while skiping scenes.

While you won't be forced to trek through any content you don't want, you'd still need to capture two specimen for it to work. But if capturing has its own sexual scenes then we pretty much hit another dead end for you.

 

[snowman77]

The game looks good so far and for some reason reminds me a bit of Fable. The only complaint I have is that whilst the female characters look mostly like beautiful women with enough animal features to seem unique but not unattractive, the males look a bit too like animals. I personally find the male characters a bit off putting. I suppose I'll hope for some more human looking male characters.

 

[EvilReFlex]

Awesome work, finally a promising breeding game!

The game looks awesome, I like the style!
I know the used engine, and I never heard that the developer had a problem with porn games.

I don't like Patreon because I have always the feeling there is no or really slow progress. There a many nice adult games on patreon, but many of them seem to be dead.
Yes 2$ are not much, but I don't want to use Patreon... will you sell the finished game... or sell a "early access" version?
And please show more progress to the public! (release older versions, showing more pictures...)


a few suggestions:

Wild creatures should look more feral (like the male, maybe a bit more) and if they breed with the human breeder the offspring should look more human. (Crossbreeds should look like... crossbreeds)
The cam controls while breeding is a bit inconvenient and the zoom goes not near enough.
A way to disable auto progress while breeding
The character need a sprinting animations to get faster to other places. (and also need a zoom function)
Sad to hear that there is no pregnancy... (maybe just a few days... and after birth a short "young" period.)
There should be more things to do except breeding, like growing food, cleaning the stables, searching special items in the world or just play with the creatures.
The well in the town looks a bit exaggerated.
The big structures on the mountains destroy the nice forest feeling. (behind the breeders house)
The "taming" is boring, maybe lure them with a trap... or with the breeder her/himself (like trials of taintet space fighting but with only with the teasing feature)
I miss a equine race.

Before I go into detail, let me summarize my gut reaction to your comment; NO. Before you get confused, that's not me saying 'no' to something specific, it is a base denial of every thought you expressed.

Now that that's out of the way; it's a game, and doesn't need to be so attached to reality.

For example, in CoC, satyrs can impregnate males just fine. After that, you have tentacle monsters and anything with an ovipositor (technically female, I know, but if they have all the traits we associate with males and none of the female traits, what's the difference?). How exactly do slimes mate? Who the fuck cares?!

Even non-porn games have a precedent; Asari are a female only species that can mate with any other creature in existence. They pass on the traits of their partners to their daughters, even if the partner is the same gender. Why can't there be a male version thereof as well?

The problem here is that species identified as male (by human standards) usually don't have the equipment to bear children, so we need to get creative. Asari can reproduce with anyone of any gender, true, but as a species it is heavily hinted that they have a standard birth canal so that example doesn't really count in your favor. What alternatives do you have as a male? Depositing eggs in their bum-holes and watch them crap their kids? Using a second pair of testicles as a "uterus" that eventually drops like an egg and a newborn emerges? Spliting or shedding like cells and slimes? "Puddles" that form into a living being? That's all I can think of from the top of my dome.

 

[TheDarkMaster]

You could also just skip all of the m/f breeding scenes you need to do to get more monsters and only watch the m/m stuff if that's what you're into. As long as the dev takes the time to build those scenes at a reasonable rate, it shouldn't really be a problem.

Again, too constrained by reality. Is your name Neo? Because you need to free your mind.

Take a look at the CoC satyrs once more. They are so overwhelmingly virile that anything they rut with produces an offspring. Who is to say that it couldn't be able to take traits from the 'mother'? Yes, it's an assbaby. Who cares?

Also, why would you try to figure out a ridiculous way to make slimes not at all hot as to how they breed? I literally just said that I don't care about the specifics as they don't matter. Seriously, why would you go out of your way to overthink this sort of thing?

That's not the issue, Karu wants to know if its going to be possible to experience the game's content in its enterity (or at least a big portion of it) if we choose F/F or M/M only. Traditionally there's not much breeding involved when there's only one gender, hence why we're discussing alternative ways.

You and I have different thought processes - you prefer take things with a creative stride, I prefer to remain grounded in my ideas. You think of impossibilities, I think of ways to analyze and explain them, because I like to know the hows and why of things. No need to snub here, all the crazy ideas you may have started somewhere - by seeing, mimicking and learning the world around you.

Besides, you're the one who asked whether or not homosexuals would be able to enjoy the game's content, based on the fact breeding usually requires two genders. I'm just throwing out ideas on how can gay sex produce offspring and hoping the author will consider some of it. I'm trying to help YOU here rather than just saying "Fudge you, go get your fun elsewhere" or "Here's a game where you can only enjoy 1/3 of due to your limited tastes, have fun". I'm trying to meet you halfway and you're honestly just being kind of a douche. :/

You may not care about the tecnhicalities and world-building but have you considered that maybe other people do? Its an important process in videogame development to think about the hows and whys of things, specially if you want to more than just sex in it. I also don't play these games for the fapping, I play because I like the characters, the story, the interaction, the lore and a bunch of other stuff people would consider "useless". If you don't care about that then that's your perogative but I do, hence why I "overthink" things... even if the game includes very little of it, I still hold the right to do so. No need to kick me in the ass for it. >.>

Why is it only when you try to insult me about my thought process do you start getting creative?

Let me put this as plainly as I can; if you stay thinking about what is possible in our world, most of these monsters could not live. That ursula looking chick would die instantly, in all likelihood. Not to mention that the part that seems most likely for you to stick it to is actually where the squid's beak goes :-/. Given that it's a fantasy world, with monsters that you're capable breeding in the first place, a certain amount of handwaving is to be expected.

There is nothing wrong with magical sexbeasts having magical breeding powers. Hell, the whole reason I brought up slimes in the first place is because they're so incredibly far off from any sort of 'real' biology that you could give them literally any method of procreation you wanted, and that wouldn't be weird.

I think you misunderstand me. I'm not against magic, I'm not against alien creatures or concepts, hell, I would like to hear one your "out-of-the-box" theories on how men may reproduce on their own, just out of curiosity. Its just that I'm happiest when there's an equilibrium between creativity and realism in a concept.

The game is about breeding so I assumed it would be perfectly normal to come up with ways on how same gendered couples could reproduce. I'll be honest, I'm not exactly very creative, I would like to think outside of the box but it just doesn't come easily for me... so I prefer to base my ideas on what I know - the world around me, its creatures, their natural processes, (other people's ideas* cough cough*) etc.

Basically, we're just theory-crafting among ourselves... or at least I tend do (and then drag other people into it).

And now that you've said that, I understand why your comments have been so aggravating for me.

If I'm being honest, I don't know enough about the game to theorycraft jack diddly, nor do I see a point in doing so at this stage. I haven't even tried it yet, and won't until I know there's going to be a game there for me to enjoy.

That's why I asked my question in the first place. Your initial reply to that question read like you were deriding me for asking it at all, and this entire conversation has felt like a long derailing from the whole reason I asked it.

Even as you said you were trying to help, everything you said seemed like you were trying to point out how impossible what I want from the game is and should be, from my PoV.

 

[Cog]

I knew I'd seen this somewhere. @karunama, answering your initial question:

@art926: Same-sex breeding will function similar to other games of the genre. Their stats and level will increase, but no offspring will be produced.

Sorry. Though I've noted that catching nephelym is not terribly difficult, at least in this iteration, so I suppose it could be played as a 'hunting and training' game rather than a breeding game, if you wanted to stick to same-sex stuff. Not that there's any animations for that (yet).

 

[Between the Rocks]

Hopefully if they end up adding any... Intersex... They will include Male-Herms rather than doing what Breeding Season did and only have... Futanari... available, which the only effect it had on such things as Dickwolves and Butt Stallions was to allow the trait to be passed on to female offspring... Not really into intersex though, especially not Futanari, which is not much if anything more than a hyper herm, hyper being something I dislike on various levels.

 

[Cog]

Shhh, don't let Fen hear you!

Joking aside, what is the difference (in your opinion) between a futanari and a hermaphrodite? I think it was FreeCities Author who noted that everyone seems to have a different definition of the term.

On the other hand, perhaps this isn't the place for this discussion. I'm still interested, but perhaps you could reply by PM?

In more game related news, @DerelictWulf I've tried to catch an example of each monster in the game so far, and I noted that there's a finite, draining pool of money in the game. You can get money from the various vendors by selling them objects, but their pool doesn't renew, and buying buildings doesn't put the money in the carpenter's inventory, so it's deleted from the game. This means that you cannot get every housing type, which means you cannot get every monster type in a single game. I think this could be fixed simply by redirecting the money into the carpenter's inventory so it stays in circulation. At the beginning of the game, I think there's enough in the pool to get the later buildings.

There are more "constants" with Futanari than there are with hermaphrodites, femininity and... size are the most common, presence of external testicles is... About as likely to be seen as it isn't.

As for hermaphrodites in general, while a feminine form is still prevalent, what makes one qualify as herm is that they possess both a dick and a vag. Breasts... Balls... And whether they APPEAR to be Male or Female... Or Androgynous --shrugs--... Does not really factor. When I mentioned a Male-Herm, which is.... considerably less common, I meant someone with a masculine form, who lacks breasts, tends to have testicles, and.... A vag... Somewhere... Placement isn't concrete.

I can not really comment on the game except through what I hear from it, due to this computer being crappy and not letting me play X amount of games, but it does have my interest. I look forward to how this game develops, even if I won't be able to enjoy it myself for a while.
