[Unreal Engine][Patreon] Drifter Prince - a new adult realtime 3d game

[Corvo Bianco]

Update: Drifter Prince DEMO is released for everyone to try out. It's free, no strings attached. Please follow this link to read more.

Hello, I am Corvo Bianco, a game developer with over a decade of professional experience. For a while, I've been planning to make my own game, but I couldn't find something I am incredibly passionate about. This is until I have discovered the adult games niche.

"Drifter Prince" is a realtime 3d game with exceptional graphics, deep lore, and lewd scenes animated in 3d by hand. Explore the most exotic places, meet new friends, watch the heartwarming relationships flourish.

The game trailer has finally arrived!

Before I continue, let me show a couple of videos with NSFW animation from the game: here and here.

Carefully crafted, hand-animated 3d scenes will let you truly feel connected with your partners. While the game will be quite vanilla compared to some other projects in the community, you are in for a treat nonetheless. Where else can you see people doing that in a low gravity environment? That's right!

The first alpha will be released around the summer of 2020. It will be short, lacking most game mechanics, but it's a start.

The gameplay will be standing on two major pillars: one is the first person exploration, allowing you to gather resources needed for story progression. The gathering mechanic in the first batch of alpha versions will be extremely basic, but we plan on expanding it, adding various mini-games with satisfying animations and sounds.

And the second pillar is the world map, which will enable you to advance the story, choose which locations to visit for resource gathering, and it also will allow you to interact with your new friends. For busy people, we will have a particular sort of timed missions, giving you an ability to gather resources even when you are away from your PC.

This kind of quality and creativity takes a lot of time. The development is slow, even though I have a couple of freelancers who help me occasionally.

The game targets PC & VR platforms and is built using UE4. I am making a great effort to keep FPS at reasonable levels; however, I don't expect the game to run smoothly on 15-year-old laptops. That's a trade-off for modern graphics.

Thanks for reading, hope to see you around

Good day, everyone. Recently I've been working on the sex animations for the game. I've decided to share an animation loop - you can watch it on Pornhub. Below is a little preview so you know what to expect. Let me know what you think

First, I want to compliment the art samples you've shown. I am usually uninterested in any of the 3D games posted here because they mostly look samey and unappealing. In contrast, all of the stuff you've shared here, on Twitter and on Patreon looks nice to me.

Some basic information I would like to know about the sexual content: what gender options will be available for the player character and for their partners? Based on what I've seen, I assume that the sexable NPCs are all female, but I can't really tell whether a female player character or F/F content are possible (the use of "Prince" in the title kind of suggests not). I'd also like to know about any other customization options for the player character, such as non-human body mods or transformations.

Hey, thank you for your kind words, I appreciate it I like the way you draw conclusions from the available info, including the game's name, hehe.

Indeed, the sexual content will be mostly M/F with female NPCs. Though the game falls into the "monster girl" category (not evident yet, but it will be), which means there will be a lot of variety, including feminine, yet genderless... got to stop myself, giving away too much! ^^

As for the customization, there will be none. You see, I am trying to make the characters and the animation look as good as possible. By adding customization, I would have to either drop the quality bar significantly or create an entirely different game with a different approach to content creation.

My animation is precise. Changing any main character's proportions will inevitably break it. I want to keep the idea of intimate interaction between characters during erotic and sex scenes, and to do that I have to have full control over the characters' appearance.

I really like the look of that Zora-looking girl.

Hey, everyone. Today I was testing a WIP animation in the engine, and decided to make a video from it, because I already like how it turns out Still needs work, obviously, but I hope you like where it is going ^^

Here are the links to watch it on Pornhub or Newgrounds. Here's a preview:

Those stockings are hot as hell.

So, while "Drifter Prince" is a highly NSFW game, I spend a lot of time and effort on the story and lore. I am trying to make SFW elements of the game to be as strong as NSFW. To facilitate this, I would like to post some SFW images and short characters' bios.

And while we are at it, here's our MC

By the way, I've made a subreddit for the game. It is still very small, but I'll be adding content as soon as I can.

Meanwhile, I've made a new website for the game. It is just a landing page that also allows you to subscribe to the Newsletter. Doing it will enable you to receive infrequent yet important updates. Be among the first to learn the Alpha build's release date

P.S. If you don't see confirmation mail right away, be sure to check your Spam folder. It sometimes goes there.

Hey, everyone. I finally made a Trailer for the game. It is a significant milestone on the way to the first Alpha build because I feel I finally have some tangible product in my hands. The video is far from perfect, but I am quite proud of all the progress we've made so far.

When I first started talking publicly about the game in August '19, I had a little bit of art made and a general idea for the story. Today we have almost fully working demo that actually looks like a game. A simple one, mind you, but it's a start. A humble beginning.

I want to thank everyone who supported and continues to support me on this journey; it helps to move forward even if I feel down (and we all feel down sometimes).

Hey, everyone! I've made a small gameplay teaser of our adult game Drifter Prince. As the Prologue / Demo is already on the horizon, I find it fitting to let you guys get a sneak peek at what's coming
Everything is WIP, of course, because this is from an early alpha version. Still, we are continually working to improve it. As usual, for more news, you can follow the project on Twitter.

Hey, I've been doing a lot of R&D lately, thought I'd also share here Everything you see here was captured in Unreal in realtime just like you would see it in the game.

Before I start working on a first "real" monster girl character, I had to be sure I can make good looking fur. Drifter Prince has particular quality standards, which means if I was to fail in this, I'd discard the character idea. However, I think I've found a lovely fur solution, so the character will go into full production!

Here you can see a very early and rough proof of concept:

The fur is really hard to get right. Do you know what else is hard to get right? Cumshots. I've spent quite some time searching for a solution, doing various tests... It seems I am on the right track.

Please, follow the link to see the video of the simulation. Couldn't post in on Youtube, because - you know - tits.

Right now, the simulation looks like chocolate meets latex, but in the future, I will use the fluid simulation system to simulate cumshots, which then will be imported to unreal as a geometry cache.

Disclaimer: all of this is basically research and proof of concept. It means I know how to make good shit, and I have the tech required, but it is a long way from a finished product.

I still have a lot of work ahead before the fur and the simulation will be implemented in the game, so please curb your expectations for the Demo - it will be kind of basic. I don't want to lie and mislead people only to get a disappointed crowd.

I am back with more cool (I think) stuff. We have finally finished coding mechanics for the sex scenes, and I can show off now
The forum doesn't support Redgifs, so please follow the VIDEO LINK and turn HD on!

Hello, everyone!
I am here to announce Drifter Prince Prologue / Demo release!

I've decided to share the Demo / Prologue with everyone for free without hiding anything behind a paywall. I would like to build trust between the players and us, and this is our first move. Current build features at least 40 mins. of gameplay, including a substantial chunk of story and two sex scenes with more than 15 high-quality 3d animations. Our vision for Drifter Prince is to create an adult game that lets the players explore their sexuality with a wide range of monstergirl partners. We believe this is truly possible only when done in a high-quality realtime 3d featuring carefully crafted hand-made animation. This version of the game lets you romance only a human partner, but the new girls will be a lot more exotic, just you wait.

The Prologue / Demo features:

• Full first episode - the Prologue - with at least 40 mins. of story and gameplay. Sex scenes can be replayed, adding more game time.
• Cinematic sex scenes with multiple viewing angles / cameras (each has its own unique behavior) and complex lighting solution.
• 2 fully animated sex scenes featuring over 15 erotic poses and sex positions. The first girl is human, but the next one will be something special. Quote me on that.
• 2 big levels you can visit for exploration and resource gathering.
• World map with the foundation of the resource management system.
• Solid optimization and high FPS. We've spent countless hours making sure the game runs as fast as possible.
• Nothing is hidden behind a paywall. You get everything we have so far.

Hey, everyone! I have a significant update to share.

After the initial Demo release, I have received plenty of feedback with some gems of useful criticism. I've given it a lot of thought and decided to make some fundamental adjustments to how the game feels and plays.

I have also realized the project is not a good fit for the Patreon business model, where people expect frequent updates. Some of you have commented on how good the graphics, the optimization, the girl, and the animations are. But all of this takes a massive amount of time to make. For example, adding one new character to the game may take 2 to 3 months of work (modelling + texturing + rigging + animating + setup in the engine).

Having to make the changes to the core gameplay, I won't be able to keep up the pace to meet the expectations. It brings me to the biggest change I will make.

The game will be tailored to Steam instead of Patreon, which will be paused and eventually closed. I feel it is not fair to keep the Patreon running while I can't provide substantial regular updates.

Everyone who has supported me will be getting a Steam key once the project launches. The keys will be emailed to all past and present Patrons.

Drifter Prince will evolve into a short yet exciting experience. I was mistaken in trying to water down the game to be able to provide more playtime. The game will work a lot better as an interactive experience with a maximum of 2-4 hours of playtime.

From now on I will mainly use Twitter to share all the news, come join me
