Unreal Engine Bioasshard Arena [v1.0.241 R2] [VersusX]

[Bedead]

Really not sure why people are still surprised about the whole "starting the game from scratch after arena is done" thing. That has been outlined since the beginning of this project years ago. Really think you guys are getting a little over dramatic about a porn game when you could be spending your time doing anything else. Not trying to be a jerk either just some of the anger I see from the comments cannot be healthy. Play other games, go on a walk, hang out with friends, etc. Do anything else and then just come back and check on this like once every two months.

I take it you never supported projects, such as this one, through kickstarter, patreon etc, only to come to the realization after years that you were being exploited?

Even if you were exploited you gotta move on eventually. Perpetually ranting about that time eromancer scammed you with MOTM or whatever happened in the past isn't making things better and its certainly polluting your mind with unnecessary stress.

You know what else isn't making things better? simping and apologizing for those kind of devs.
Don't make this personal, it isn't, there is nothing wrong, on the contrary, with vocalizing and warning off potential victims, it is a malpractice that is becoming way too common and people - the community - should fight against it.

Obviously. The take away is said by the other guy.

you could be spending your time doing anything else.

Also how is ranting in a piracy forum helping with that fight? Shouldn't you be doing virtual strikes or something I don't know

I've been burned by devs who get way in over their heads plenty of times I'm old by this forums standards probably lol. There's just not enough energy in life to let this be what consumes it. Eat the loss shrug your shoulders and move on. Maybe one day you'll be pleasantly surprised by another project or when this one does release something worth being excited for.

what a pointless discussion... if apathy is your thing, the same argument can just as well be the same towards your contribution to the discussion, whats the point ranting against ranters?
might as well just not pitch in any feedback at all either way, according to your perspective.

I have been very pleasantly surprised, and that's the thing, those were the very few vs the overwhelmingly majority.
I do believe this is a similar thing to the very often discussed microtransactions and live service debate in conventional games, the community needs to push back on those to get results, in that case by not buying games or not using in game stores, in this case, by not supporting the swathes of "devs" who carrot-on-a-stick people into supporting without having the effort or intention to deliver knowing the hopeful will collectively keep bringing thousands per month

Because if we went to VersusX's Discord to say our piece, he'd more than likely ban anyone for "harsh" criticism. He has no spine, so you must be new here if you never understood why he doesn't come to this thread or the ULMF one. Like you fail to realize that VersusX should not be a lead on a project nor should he be the one making any of the shots; because it's clearly evident that the game is going to go absolutely fucking no where with him at the helm.


Why do we rant? Because this is only place we can, ULMF doesn't like it, but this place lets us do it mostly unfiltered, there's a few cases like... The Future Fragments thread that got locked and then opened up with an unmoderated one because HW is a man child, and people were getting rightfully pissed off about all his lies.

I was going to mod the character files and see if i could import some other models into the game (claire, ada etc..) however there is a problem. It seems there are alot of plugins that versusX decided to use and I'm gonna have to spend about 650$ in plugins before i can load this project. Oh well, i guess it aint happening.

But then they seem to be more busy making in my eyes and this is my opinion ofcourse stupid Waiffu Gallery's that nobody seems to care about when they could spend the money and time it takes to makes those renders on the game where 90% of their income comes from, but then you get a once in a liftime BioAsshard dev report that contains nothing except for " oh sorry guys that it has been so long, but yh we added a new lighting system and are still in the procces of moving assets to UE5.

Like i get people saying its their game and they can do whatever they feel like doing, but i still daily see so many new Patreon supporters come into the Discord asking how the making of the game is going, for them to get a half assed response saying that they are well on the way with moving to UE5.

wait, wait.. you're telling me one of their excuses is that they're working on porting the game from UE4 to UE5? That should be a quick and easy transition though? One of the major selling points of UE5 was that it's quick and easy to convert a project from UE4 to 5. It should take a few minutes, at most. That excuse makes no sense to me.

Here's the update with everything open

I did merge this file into the current data, and all reseted

 

[crash.7ds]

A lot of games are taking time (certainly more than a meager few minutes) to upgrade from 4 to 5. Maybe Epic isn't being as honest about that.

I've backed dozens of Kickstarters and have yet to back one that later turned out to be a scam ----granted, some I backed in 2021 have still yet to fulfill the pledge 'but' there has been consistent communication and some items have made their way to backers [ie: PDFs, swag, etc]... there's a lot more checks and balances on Kickstarter to [try to] keep people honest.

Patreon though? That's the wild west in terms of money being exchanged for product, KS you're supporting the project to help it reach fruition whereas Patreon you're paying to sustain the creator in w/e endeavour they're undertaking.

Admittedly, I haven't backed a Patreon before but I imagine where it wildly differs from KS is that KS [is supposed to] end with a product, something to show for your money whereas Patreon is a black hole to throw money into and one day you may receive something for your patronage but there's no [legal] impetus for the creator to do so.

Just my thoughts since this looked to be the hot topic of the last dozen or so pages, lol.

Epic lying? Who could've ever thought! Regardless, pretty sure it's been longer than the time normally needed to go from UE4 to UE5. So just as a little heads up to anyone... The 3d models, animations, and stuff like that will port over perfectly to UE5 from UE4, it's all the code that breaks, which could take some time regardless; not the however many years this is going to take.

No matter how much money he makes if he treats it as one of his many hobby products then it will reflect that. Experience should have already told people juggling multiple projects is a red flag, you never take a battle willingly on two fronts. All the same the effort this project has is still very impactful, and I do hope we get more H games in a similar vein to this. Hell even an RE sex mod would be right up the same energy if it had the fetishes this one did. There were two other H games similar like this with zombies, I forget their names. Eden, project Zero or something? We need more aspiring creators to be inspired by these hobbyists, so we can get a true work of art. They always fumble it with glorified open sex galleries or over complicated gameplay...

Maybe stop humiliating the developers for now. And when you think about it, this game is the most advanced H-game to date. At least I haven't seen anything better. And by the way, any news?

Nothing concrete yet. They posted a ~30 sec teaser walking in a WIP map showing lighting storm effects in the background.

If by advanced you mean: "We added a bunch of pointless bullshit because we want to be an action game, and not an adult game." Then yes, it's advanced, if no, I don't know why me and others have to continue saying this, it's an adult game, if they wanted to make an action game, they simply stop lying to us and make an actual action game, otherwise... We expect there to be fucking, and not 4 years of nothing.

Okay, have you seen at least one game with so much content? And yes, in addition to watching content, you can play it. And this is called a game for adults, and if you want more than 18+, then my friend, the Internet is full of this. Yes, this is a full-fledged action game with a nice addition, and not another N-game where you stupidly stand still and poke your mouse at endless dialogues. And if you compare it with similar games like Delta Zone, then damn it’s really action, and the developer there is even greedier than these
