Current Development Progress
Added 2018-04-02 22:16:45 +0000 UTCThis is going to be a development-oriented but more theoretical post. I have been steadily working on a large new system: Blessed Nephelym. Indeed, it is a large implementation, hence the silence and lack of an early build. While writing the basic framework for the system, I took a good look at my current characters and realized their designs are too limited for what I want blessed ones to be.
They will work great for the lesser wild Nephelym and the customizable breeder, but to get the designs I want, the blessed ones will revert to a more manual path. Each one will be handcrafted and not rely on the procedural system at all. The procedural system was built with gameplay in mind first, and now it's time for another system with art, story, and lore at the forefront. The game lacks in this area right now.
Speaking of lore, it has been refined significantly and now has better synergy with the gameplay. The reasons why you breed, why there are both wild and blessed Nephelym, and why the world is the way it is are now solid. I won't give away all the details here--they will be discovered in the game once implemented.
Alright time to talk design and art now. As mentioned above, the current characters are built to solve gameplay problems. That's great and useful, but it leaves the game feeling dull and certainly can't drive the narrative and world. In addition to the wild Nephelym, the procedural system is used for the NPCs: Amber, Cassie, Falene, and Camilla. In accordance with the refined lore and art direction, these characters are being uniquely redesigned from the ground up. And, they are all becoming blessed Nephelym if they aren't already. That's right, under the new lore you are the only human in the world.
While on the topic of design, there's a thing that needs addressed: males. Back when I first launched I didn't know what the fuck I was doing, so I took all feedback as "good" feedback, even if it wasn't something I wanted. One such piece of feedback was to introduce "more human males to offset the mostly human females". The result: hominal males. Bluntly, I don't care much for having males in the game at all, but especially the hominal ones. It's a breeding game though, so males will stay; however, over the next few builds I will be replacing the hominal males with their feral equivalents. It's back to the roots and my original design on that one. Just to be clear, the Nephelym are, and always have been a monster girl focused race.
Ah yes, ferals. Be on the look out for a poll to decide which race gets their feral variants next.
Lastly, I discovered a plugin that will greatly help my animation pipeline. Instead of the traditional guess and check approach, it will allow me to build animations directly in the editor with characters as they appear ingame. This will be beneficial for all characters, but especially blessed ones that have scenes around the world. My intent is to use this to help improve the quality of the procedural animations as well. Those animations are very challenging to make since the characters can change shape.
Thus concludes the Patreon post. The NPC redesigns are already underway, and I should be ready to post images of them soon. Since I am implementing a large new system, it will take a few weeks, so let's have...
Yet Another Hotfix
...for the public build.
Update April 6 2018:
I keep getting the same questions/concerns over and over, so I will solidify my answers here.
Are males being removed?
No. I am improving their designs and replacing concepts that don't work. Pulling off well-designed hominal males is not only very hard, it doesn't represent the game I want to make. When I say the game is female focused, that means I'd rather design and build monster girls instead of males. I understand that a breeding game needs a strong M/F component, so that's why males will always exist. However, their existence and design is now governed by a different set of parameters. And that is, basically, how great a sex scene they can create with a female.
Is the male breeder going to be an option?
Always. You are the only human in a world full of horny mythical half-monsters, most of which are female. Playing as a male in this scenario is too good to pass up and has always been one of the design goals.
Is this new system another rewrite/transition?
No, never again. Aside from refreshed designs for existing NPCs, it's purely new content from now on.

Please keep hominal futa. Just saying. Sometimes its good.

2018-04-27 00:59:20 +0000 UTCJust released an early build for patrons to test. A massive amount of work has gone into it.
DerelictHelmsman
2018-04-24 13:41:44 +0000 UTCThe female and futa breeders are just as important as the male. As mentioned in the post, there will always be a strong M/F breeding aspect. Right now, that's not a strong feature of the game because of the hominal males, so it will only get better.

2018-04-24 13:40:15 +0000 UTC20 days passed, Will be there any updates on April?
2018-04-23 15:32:34 +0000 UTCThank god those humaniod males aren't gonna be a problem in future. I like more the feral ones. See those big meat wolves ravaging some fox juices ... mmm ... best stuff. I like the change for the next development.
2018-04-22 18:56:55 +0000 UTCEvery month.

2018-04-20 12:12:06 +0000 UTCThank you for the great game
2018-04-19 15:55:05 +0000 UTCIf I want to subscribe to Testing Build for one month only I only pay $2.00 or must subscribe to Testing Build monthly and pay every month $2.00 ? and Thank you .
2018-04-19 15:52:05 +0000 UTCHi everyone . I have a question .
2018-04-19 15:47:05 +0000 UTCHi there. I would like to back this project but I have some problems with the public build, game wont start no matter how many times I clicked the ''Radiant-Win64-Shipping'' to run. Thanks in advance!
2018-04-16 19:42:09 +0000 UTCSorry to say it, but the guy said it's only windows 64 bits
Michaël
2018-04-16 18:53:31 +0000 UTCIs this game supports on windows 7 32bit?

DanishGuy37
2018-04-15 08:24:17 +0000 UTCThink we're safe there what I got from it was he prefers females and would rather no males but since it's a breeding game kinda has to have males. I do agree though I personally get tired of every monster H-Game is guy main characters gets with a bunch of monster girls.
Somehow1337
2018-04-15 00:49:05 +0000 UTCThe hominal male thing was weird it just made it look like I was encountering some men cosplaying as creatures. That being said though the 'female focused' aspect is a red flag for me. I have no interest in being a male breeder having sex with female monster girls, I liked watching the male monsters breed the female ones and having my female rancher breed with the male monsters. So if this game is going to focus on a male rancher having fun with female monsters then that's a deal breaker for me.
2018-04-14 16:15:33 +0000 UTCAwesome!!

2018-04-11 14:20:03 +0000 UTCI am really looking forward to the "harvesting" feature. Seeing that cute little Foxen futa harvested... *umpf*
2018-04-11 08:29:35 +0000 UTCCool

2018-04-10 22:24:11 +0000 UTCCan't wait to see some actual new content for this. It's been a while....
2018-04-09 20:37:34 +0000 UTCSupporting till the end :)
2018-04-09 12:28:03 +0000 UTCyou said it directly *i like*. sad to hear, but luckily, patreon forces nobody to pledge. have a good journey, traveler.
B.Felinor
2018-04-08 22:33:11 +0000 UTCGonna be pulling support for a while, I've been a $5 patron for 7 months now, and while you've made some good progress I'm just not seeing the progress I'd like. For someone pulling down $10k a month, I expect to see work and progress worthy of $10k a month. I understand that you're one person, and that development will have a maximum speed, so to speak. But I'm concerned that your effort hasn't increased with your paycheck. I'll be back in a few months to check in and possibly renew my support.

2018-04-08 19:22:38 +0000 UTCIs there supposed to be animation because i get none
2018-04-08 06:03:12 +0000 UTCI'd assume it'll be considered once all the core mechanics are in place and bug-free.
Squark
2018-04-08 02:13:27 +0000 UTCI second this!
Squark
2018-04-08 02:11:55 +0000 UTCI never cared for the human males, but love the furry ones! Keep you the good work!
2018-04-07 21:49:30 +0000 UTCThe male breeder will never be removed, and he will always be human.
DerelictHelmsman
2018-04-07 00:34:04 +0000 UTCThis has never been a male focused game. Males exist for breeding, and where needed to achieve sexy scenes with females. That's it.
DerelictHelmsman
2018-04-07 00:33:21 +0000 UTCremoving human male breeder kinda removes the immersion factor for me. just sayin.
2018-04-06 21:33:55 +0000 UTCkinda mad that males aren't gonna get the attention they deserve. that's the entire reason I've been donating.
2018-04-06 16:18:31 +0000 UTCYour works are great. But i have an opinion, how about adding some bosses of each species and one or two last/hidden bosses into the game. Or even adding a villain into the game to make the game more intensive :)). Breeing only is fine but lack smth.

2018-04-05 18:23:26 +0000 UTCI can't get any animations to work. They all just say no harvest animations
Eternal Foxy
2018-04-04 20:34:03 +0000 UTCWon't happen at all under patreon, considering how they're cracking down on games with restricted fetishes. I'm worried even the furry types might be under risk.

2018-04-04 04:00:21 +0000 UTCI sincerely hope not.
Squark
2018-04-04 03:19:15 +0000 UTCi wonder if this will ever be voiced
Last Resort Translation
2018-04-04 02:47:46 +0000 UTCJust fixes since there's going to be some time until the next build.
DerelictHelmsman
2018-04-04 00:07:48 +0000 UTCThe human male breeder will always be there. The breeders are not affected by options, allowing you to play as a male in a world full of females if you set it that way.
DerelictHelmsman
2018-04-04 00:06:35 +0000 UTCHominal females are my favorite, and the design focus for most of the Nephelym.
DerelictHelmsman
2018-04-04 00:04:16 +0000 UTCIt’s impressive, especially I liked an idea about feral males! 💋

2018-04-03 11:51:34 +0000 UTCNice can't wait for the Feral Males.
Erwin Doppler
2018-04-03 04:08:05 +0000 UTCAs long as you are keeping the human male breeder i am good
2018-04-03 01:53:51 +0000 UTCKeep up the great work Dere! Just wondering, if there is anything new in the hotfix public build that we haven't seen yet? Or is it build like 0.643 but a bit more stable?
Wompwomp
2018-04-03 01:24:27 +0000 UTCi was kinda disapointed that feral meant not be 4 legged ferals :c
2018-04-02 23:56:54 +0000 UTCSeems like a waste to not include the hominal assets you already have, maybe make it a rare gene like feral is for the monstergirls?
Ezzie
2018-04-02 23:44:57 +0000 UTCDisagreed. Some of us are not futa-enthusiasts. To me, its a breeding game, and should have males. Disappointed if there will only be feral males, but would completely abandon the game if it was a "breeding game" that elected to avoid traditional M/F pairings.
Scott Snelling
2018-04-02 23:37:40 +0000 UTCany news on different body shapes and such :( ?
BotyHunter
2018-04-02 23:12:13 +0000 UTCwas often offered and declined. he will get sources from outside for various parts at some point.
B.Felinor
2018-04-02 22:59:18 +0000 UTCHey I'm sure this has been asked here before but wouldn't it be beneficial to have more people on your team? Progress would be much faster and possibly better though I'm not saying that its bad.
Mrspirit
2018-04-02 22:37:44 +0000 UTCJust ditch all the males for futas, problem solved and everything is all the better for it.

2018-04-02 22:21:29 +0000 UTCSounds like you're making great strides. Keep up the good work buddy!
