/fur/ - Furry★

wow this is a complete shock i didnt see this outcome happening at all

>>82857 (OP)

Yeah, it's best not to invest in projects where devs didn't have previous experience in.

If they can make a game on their personal time and wallet, then they will complete a game with the money of others. They need to find a good workflow/pattern before they start charging because they'll hit all sorts of new issues every time. Game dev is a tough field to do.

I feel bad for Lithier, but hopefully this means more time gets put into MVOL.

You don't say? Well fuck me then do you have an explanation why every single furry game being funded at the moment is a fucking scam???

Why is everyone such a fucking knowledgeable game dev expert when it comes to bashing scams that have been publicly exposed, but at the same time they whiteknight all the other ones that have yet to be!?

I can't tell if you're all retarded, or just pretending.

I'll take the L on this one. I used to defend them because I never touched it before. I still believe that it's tremendously tough, but it's even tougher if it's your first game without a workflow on that platform. It's easy to be directionless and stuck if you don't know what you're doing.

I think it would be a good thread if we could post game dev resources.

>Ever

Something was stolen but it wasn't my money

>>83001

Hey now, they're not all scams. Some of them keep to consistent update schedules, and some have even been finished! Or, well, I know one that's been finished anyways.

>>83009

Such as...? The one you are "developing" (or "developed"), I bet.

Was there even any pictures posted of what the game was going to look like? WIP shots of the user interface?

I find it hard to believe they were getting 2000$ a month simply from colorful descriptions.

>money gets stolen on a Patreon project

Whaaa? Joke aside, I feel the money was stolen even if the project is done.

>>83013

It started with an prototype where you could walk to a room to have sex with a person. It had breast physics and smooth animation, so people liked it and suggested for it to be hosted on patreon. They released another alpha with character customization and the ability to pick different clients (played the same animations though).

A lot of setbacks occurred over time however, they had to rework their animation system. A crucial team member (was it the programmer or modeler? I don't know) left and the project was suspended. They restarted again and released a completely different alpha with character customization, but you only saw others having sex. Then it was remade again.

They were kind of lost and they should have made a project beforehand on unity.

>>83011

Did you mean finished games, or ones keeping to a schedule?

Well for "schedule games", MVOL has kept to a bi-monthly updates for a long time now, no bullshit delays all the time like with some games *cough*Lilith's Throne*cough*. I don't know if Kobold Adventure has a schedule the dev keeps to, but updates seem to come reasonably quickly (every few weeks it seems).

The completed game I was referring to was Paraphore, and like actually finished and not just slapping "1.0" on an early beta thing. The devs have moved onto the sequel, though, so I guess there's opportunity there for development to fall through (hopefully fucking not).

(also I don't make videogames)

>I find it hard to believe they were getting 2000$ a month simply from colorful descriptions.

Not to say anything about the project/patreon, but people will throw money at all kinds of shit.

>>83001

Because some actually get finished (in a reasonable state, not simply in name).

Monster Mind and Paraphore are the two that I can name on the spot.

>>83020

Whats MVOL?

My Very Own Lith

Well we still have Shades of Elysium and Wildlife at least

>>83187

>Wildlife

That's that weg that's wants to be a full-blown RPG+porn game right? I'm not too optimistic about that one, if that's still the plan.

pls link latest WildLife build? :3c
