[Unreal engine] [Studio FoW] Subverse

[shadefalcon]

Subverse is a tactical RPG/SHMUP hybrid that takes place in a fully explorable galaxy where you get to be the Captain of your very own ship which is crewed by the sexiest and deadliest waifus you can recruit.
Assemble an elite team of deadly alien waifus that will fight for you. Learn their backstories, earn their loyalty and they'll do other stuff for you too.

Enjoy a surreal meta-plot of comedic science fiction filled with memorable perverts and deviant villains. Discover sidequests and complete them for loot and purchase upgrades and awesome stuff for your ship.
Engage in plot-driven SHMUP missions if you’ve got a twitchy thumb, or tactical grid RPG turn-based combat for a more nuanced approach involving less maneuvering.

Spoiler: Space Combat

Spoiler: Tactical Grid Combat

Your enemies range from space pirates, bounty hunters, rogue warrior pleasure droids and other assorted scumbags. Collect rare DNA samples across your adventures to create vicious bio-weapon monsters called MANTICORES (Mantics) to fight alongside your crew. Outside of combat, your troops can serve another purpose by keeping your waifus satisfied.

Spoiler: Concept

And naturally as one can expect from an animation studio, there will be animated 3D sex scenes

Please consider supporting this game.
And have fun watching the trailer and looking at the page

This is a game project made by Studio Fow. A team that's produced several animated porn movies and a couple of short games. The works which you can access here: https://studiofow.com/
Warning: A lot of different kinks in these movies, so checking out the works' tags beforehand may be adviced.

Special fetishes you can expect in this game so far includes:
Fucking hot chicks
Aliens fucking hot chicks
Fucking hot alien chicks
Aliens fucking hot aliens chicks

MxF
FxF
FxVarious mutated creatures

More kinks might be added in later, but this is as far as they've planned for now.

EDIT: Initial funding goal has been reached
Now onto some stretch goals!

I think the word waifu appears like a dozen times or so. It wouldn't hurt them to think of another euphemism, or try to market less to the terminally online.

 

[TheDarkMaster]

Fetishes and pairings? You said look at the tags before you watch the movies, but didn't include them for the game advertisement itself?

Well I thought the description was pretty informing of what you can expect from this game, but for your sake I added in what one of the team members told me. I decided to quote it word for word, cause it was kind of amusing
I don't know any more than that, but I guess lesbian stuff, and beast stuff might be a possiblity, maybe even non-con, but since it's advertised as a harem game?
It's gonna be released on steam so I dunno what they may or may not add.

From an advertising and marketing perspective, that tells you nothing. There are hot aliens? We know, we can see them and given the nature of the game we also know that there's the option to bang them. Therefore, you've told us nothing new.

But people are going to be wanting to looking a little deeper to see if it caters to their tastes. If that's not immediately clear, you've potentially lost players and so if its on Steam, you've lost income. Even if nothing is in there yet, you'll still get a better reception with a planned list of what's coming up than having nothing right now.

You want to build interest for this game, you need to hook their attention and that means giving a little more information. Even if it's just, off the top of my head:
- MxF
- MxFxF
- Bondage
- Anal
- Shower Sex

I mean, straight away, that already gives you a clearer idea of what people can expect. And you've hooked some future players.

 

[TheDarkMaster]

Evil has it right.

There's just too many adult games out there for players to actually try them in order to find out if they cater to that player's particular interests and kinks. Human sexuality is stupid complicated and pretty much every single person is unique in their particular fetishes and preferences. So an easy to find list of pairings (m/f, m/m, f/f, m/m/f, etc.) and fetishes (lactation, size difference, degradation, etc.) tells players who're into those things that this particular game is something worth their attention. Otherwise most players have been burned too many times learning a game they've invested time into has something they don't like as mandatory content to try anything without knowing this information ahead of time.

All good inquiries. Hmmmmmm. But I really dunno what kind of tags I could use from the info already given, since that's all I have to base it off.
Except FxF. I put that in the OP.

Subverse has reached initial funding now
Only 3 days have passed so there's still plenty of time to reach some more juicy stretch goals.
Next up is another girl and not long after that an even more solid base game with 10 chapters and a total of 8 recruitable girls.

 

[Obscure]

Okay... if you look at the highest tier...

Space Whale
*whale noises intensify*

Back by popular demand, the infamous whales of StudioFOW will get to pick their very own love scene and fetish to be featured as one of the ingame rewards. You will work with our director and lead animator to bring your fantasies to life. Limited slots!

INCLUDES:

• All previous tier rewards (Excluding Boin Boin Weekly)
• Design a love scene of your choice with an ingame waifu

I project that this means that the game will have 20 *minimum* scenes of diaper fetishism.

Some people have suggested that some of those slots will have gone to the nipple vore crowd. Yet I am not reassured.

 

[shadefalcon]

I'm sure the Studio won't add in any fetishes they don't want to. They've already stated that the requests will have to be consensual of nature f. ex.
I doubt they're gonna add in a ton of niche kinks like diaper and nipple vore

Studio Fow has now reached one of their bigger goals. Increasing the game from several chapters to a larger one with around 11 chapters with fleshed out characters and the like.
The amount of girls in the game also rose to 9 waifus!
Next goal. More voice acting!

 

[shadefalcon]

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/990500595/subverse/posts/2465697
This game has now reached 250k unlocking more voice acting, animations for your waifus interacting with various xeno creatures, and perhaps most exciting of all loyalty quests.
With loyalty quests you'll get to know your girls deeper and embark on special quests to earn their max trust and affection.
I myself am rather excited with this as I love romancing npcs
The next goal at 300k will unlock special animated vignettes as rewards for completing these quests.

I've always wanted a sci-fi Tactical RPG/Shmup hybrid with romancable crew members & a comedic tone ever since I was a horny teenager, so needless to say, this sounds right up my alley. The fact that it includes sex scenes from a 3D studio I've followed for 4 years now is a nice bonus. If nothing else, I've followed them enough to know that I don't have anything to worry about in terms of fetishes - I just have to worry about how cringe-worthy the comedy might be instead. I mean, the 14 or so uses of "waifus" is just one example out of a handful I've seen in the promo material, on top of several others from their past animations, that could really take me out of the experience amd just feel tired very quickly.

With that said, however, the sample dialogue, voicelines, and trailer all really got a chuckle out of me and really gives me hope that this'll be fun & sexy ride. I certainly wasn't expecting to like the captain's dialogue as much as I did. Voiced protagonists is always a problem for me in RPGs, but I think I can get behind him and his quest. At the very least: more of stuff like that, and less forced memes, and I think it'll be well worth my time & money.

Subverse just reached 300k pounds. Tripling their initial goal
This means that the game will include cinematic sex scenes as rewards for finishing each loyalty quest.
Along with the voice acting tier and the loyalty quests as a stand alone, this was the goal I was most excited for.

I'm hoping for deadpool ish humour.
Also I dont believe he'll talk during "the act". So he shouldn't be a mood killer in that area.

 

[Athena]

In one of the update posts, they compared the cinematic vignettes to the "Raffle" animations they used to do. Considering that was the content I was following them for (I actually didn't like a lot of their longer animations), this was obviously the stretch goal I wanted them to reach the most. I am a bit worried that they'll add a bunch of new ones that'll bog the whole project down, though. I guess we'll have to wait 'n' see...

Ah, that's good to know. Thanks!

Whoop whoop.
Subverse has now reached 400k. Quadrupling their initial funding goal and unlocking all initial stretch goals.
With this there will be more cinematics for the major scenes.
In addition they've unveiled a new goal at 550k: Fowchan, the studios succubus mascot will join the game with both a normal and demonic form. For long time fans of Studio Fow like myself, this is very exciting

 

[shadefalcon]

Been a while since I last updated this. But lots of new things to share!
Subverse has now passed 1 Million pounds, reaching all the projects stretch goals.
Since last time the kickstarter has unlocked Fowchan, the Studios secretary Succubus. With this goal reached they've unveiled some new concept art for the character: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/990500595/subverse/posts/2474892
After this the campaign unlocked another unveiled goal: NSFW doujins that tells original stories about the characters in the game.

The final stretch goal the "War chest" at 1 Million pounds is making the game more polished. Adding extra help where it's necessary and the like. More money spent on the promised game. Which I for one am all for. It wouldn't be too good to make things too ambitious.

Finally if you want to see more about the game head to studio fows website and check out their subverse section which has info about the characters, the game and even the ship you fly in.
