Uh..........

 

[Fedora Master]

This will be stuck in EA forever.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Electronic Arts?

Cooming to GOG.

[Melcar]

Such a good ol' game that was.

 

[Bohrain]

Did they give any release date or quarter of the year for the full release?

 

[Curratum]

Full release would be late 2022 at best. The team is a clusterfuck.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Wanking and cranking it to their own work?

 

[Fedora Master]

They got fucking nothing.

DEAD game, Kickstarter scam #52864

 

[Harry Easter]

Such a good ol' game that was.

Considering what perverted apes humans are, I can see it seen as old fashioned even before the next year starts.

New Dev diary: https://blog.studiofow.com/subverse-ea-dev-diary-05/

Let’s get the big news out of the way first and the reason you’re all here – when the hell is Elaisha releasing?

I’m here to tell you we’re aiming to release the next update in early October! This update will contain all the features I talked about in the last blog, including the 50+ Pandora scenes, Cinematics, Elaisha waifu, the Kloi faction and a ton of new planets.

I completely understand the frustration of some players that it took us 6 months to release this update. Obviously going forward, this kind of pace is not going to be acceptable for future content update releases. We want to be releasing these at 3-4 month increments not 6 month increments. We have high expectations of ourselves internally, and I know you guys have high expectations as well so I want to make sure everyone understands that we are not getting complacent.

The good news is that the new animators have integrated really well into our workflow and they’re already powering through the update after Elaisha’s! The software side is more complicated – integrating new remote working developers into a behemoth of a project like this in the middle of production has proven to be a challenge, but we have brought a new project manager on board to assist with the process. Combined with our redoubled recruitment effort via agencies, this will help us increase the speed of production for the next major update after Ela as it’s both lighter in features and shorter in length. Our lead developer is also off on paternity leave for the birth of their first child (congratulations to them!), so we’ve had our fair share of unavoidable delays.

THREE STRIKE SYSTEM
I understand there have been some concerns about the difficulty of some upcoming missions, most notably the Battletoads style SHMUP map. In order to help out some of the casual players, we’ve installed a three-strike-system into the missions which means that you can skip the level if you’ve died three times on it. This method helps out our balancing workload, since we can maintain an entertaining level of difficulty while still giving a get-out-of-jail card for some of the players who are not experienced in SHMUPs. Looking forward to seeing how many of you guys end up using it! (but really, that level is not as hard as people are meme’ing it to be)

Spoiler

TRISHA AND JAWZ
We’ve got two new mantics to discover in this update! The enigmatic test-tube baby known only as “Trisha” is a robust front-liner with a new transformation mechanic that lets you switch up your tactics on the fly. We want to begin introducing a bit more tactical depth to the combat this time around, so I can’t wait to see how you guys end up using this mean step-child. Also, obligatory dick pic:

Jawz is what happens when Lily splices the DNA of an extinct animal from Earth with some freaky Prodigium alien DNA. He uses a life-stealing mechanic in grid combat, and is perfect for assassinating your enemies’ squishies. Use him to turn the tide of battle by taking out a key target. Here’s the good doctor testing out its capabilities before battle. Does it check out?

DIRECTIONAL DAMAGE AND EXPLOSIONS
We’ve implemented directional damage in Grid Combat which will add some more tactical depth to the system – the beta testers will soon get their hands on it and then it’ll be ready for prime-time. Surrounding enemies confers significant bonuses, but it works both ways so make sure you protect your waifus at the same time! Everyone loves explosions, so the devs have added some hazardous barrels that you can use to your advantage on certain maps. I don’t know what’s inside these barrels but they sure as hell pack a punch. These are just the first steps towards improving grid combat, and we’re going to be incrementally roll out some features with the drop of each block, until hopefully the 1.0 version of grid combat becomes something we can be really proud of.

GOG RELEASE
And last but not least, I’m delighted to announce that we are finally partnering with GOG to bring Subverse onto their platform along with this update! It’s amazing to see that other platforms are opening up to adult games and Subverse having a positive impact on the industry. I have a deep love of the Witcher games ever since I stumbled upon a second-hand copy of Witcher 1 Enhanced Edition in a store in Cardiff many years ago. I remember being blown away by The Beast quest and from then on CDPR were one of my favorite devs so I’m stoked to be part of the GOG family and so is the rest of the team. But mostly I’m happy that our fans who have been region-locked out of buying the game will finally get to experience the Prodigium galaxy! Thank you to everyone at GOG who worked with us to make this happen.

And there's the monsters fucking your waifus. Can't have it be StudioFOW without bestiality.

 

[Alienman]

Monsteriality.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

WHAT?!?


....maybe waifus like monster cock better than panty raider deadpool wannabe.

Spoiler

he used to be this guy...

 

[Nirvash]

Who give a shit, as a porn creator the studio FOW is done for good.
We have like have a thousand new people doing better stuff now.

 

[Melcar]

Their stuff was never that great. Sure, somewhat great animation, but the stories and dialogues were always shit.

Im happy for them being the natural evolution of the ME series. But personally im not going to play it because im not a fan of NTR.

Hoping their next title doesnt feature that shit, but i know it more than likely will.

 

[Caim]

Come to think of it, how much NTR has StudioFOW had in their previous work? I thought their bread and butter was mostly rape, bestiality and a combination of those two, but I don't recall a lot of huff about them doing a shitload of NTR.

The one where Harley gets fucked by dogs is NTR-themed...except with dogs. The Devil May Cry short is also sort-of NTR (demon dogs fucking his waifu). One of the Kunoichi movies has cuckquean elements IIRC. Bioshag Trinity kinda-sorta-arguably has vaguely NTR bits. I don't recall anything else. So yeah not really a big theme. I haven't touched Subverse but I get the sense the NTR is sort of incidental NTR, since it's mostly monsters and it's not really presented as "real" NTR. You're just supposed to take it for granted that women are always been banged by aliens in the setting.

But since the protagonist is impossible to self-insert as, the "vanilla" content is the real NTR. Checkmate.

You know entirely too much about these guys.

It's for the future retrospective video of the game

Only took em multiple months to come up with what will amount to 10 minutes of dicking.

Codex review?

 

[Curratum]

Game is overwritten, uninspired, loquacious garbage. The SHMUP is decent fun. The XCom grid combat is trash. The porn is dull and almost completely non-interactive, to the point where it's fixed camera angles. Game is hot garbage, considering their "ambitions" and the amount of money they got.

There you go, your Codex review.

Edit: Here's my actual Steam review that I posted back when EA was released. Haven't bothered to check on it since then, because it was bad enough to just discourage me from bothering again.

"Kickstarter backer. Disappointed, would not recommend.

The game is persistently, insistently unfunny and poorly written and that really starts to grate on your nerves since there's incredible amounts of text.

This is another big issue - everything is overwritten to the point where the voiceover is wasted cash because you're just skipping through the pointless, overlong drivel. There is no consistency of tone in the writing too, half of it is so over the top tongue-in-cheek, it starts to sound idiotic. The other half is very serious and high-brow. The only thing that is consistent here is how long-winded and tiresome everything is.

There is a multi-second loading screen every time you take a breath. The cinematics drop frames and the audio stutters.

Don't even get me started on the lewd scenes. It's an interactive game, built on the most advanced engine at the time of production and you're just looking at looping, pre-baked animations that somehow drop to 40 fps as well, on hardware above the recommended spec.

No camera controls in the lewd scenes, no interactivity, nothing.

The grid X-Com combat is nothing to write home about.

The only good thing about the game is the bullet hell twin-stick shmup component, but you can get a better one that doesn't cost 25 EUR elsewhere on Steam."
