Lewd games are serious bizness isn't it, I remember trying the rpgmaker demo a while ago. Question: will the lewd scenes have a first person & free cam options like Last Hope (another lewd game in UnrealE)?
The technology is there and I'm considering it, but it would cost a fair amount of money as I would have to onboard at least a specialized programmer and animator. It's one of a million things that would depend on budget.

How many classes?

Are environments hand crafted?

I want to control one of those mechs.

4 classes, like most my other games. Melee frontliner, ranger, support (with maybe robot pets?), mage. But the class system will be a little bit different than what you're familiar with.

Environments are 100% not made by me. Except the ones that are and you can tell because they look bad.

Being a Vampire and all I assume the frontliner still gets access to magic of some kind?

Time to twiddle my fingers and watch no game journos pick this up at all.

That's part of what I mean about the class system being different. Mage and Vampire are large subclasses that you get access to after doing certain things in the game (or possibly, certain things on character creation).

After all, there's nothing preventing mages or vampires from using a gun.

YMMV but you might consider moving complex melee animations down the pipeline especially because of this reason.
Also, any animation becomes stale sooner or later and a good dev includes a turbo-fast animation option in his tacticool game.

Damn, that video almost made me pay for the Kickstarter, but 1: it's not open yet.
And 2: I'm afraid I'll be disappointed as it happened with Barkley 2, which was sadly abandoned, or worse, Hibernaculum, which isn't out yet but is unlikely to be a good game considering what happened.
Some of the factions are awesome looking, although some seem taken from World of Darkness. Can you be both a werewolf and a vampire? What about a cyber-werewolf?

"Manly Mouse Dan"? :lol:

Liked the trailer. Again, I absolutely DIG the music.

I actually tried to steer my lineages/factions very far away from VtM. And besides the Egyptian-themed one, I think they are very different, unless there's an underground Lovecraftian goddess-worshipping clan in VtM that I'm not aware of.

You can't be a vampire werewolf.

Being a werewolf would probably take a whole 'nother game, just like being a Slayer.

It's just a mascot, don't mistake me for a rodent or something.

If you want attention, have something provocative. There should be a way to do it with style, without mocking a side, with you being a writer. Stuff that comes to mind - a mixed-race cyber hooker who asks you what kind of slave you want while changing her skin color, innuendo of male/female power play to rile up either feminists or anti-feminists, somebody getting attacked or executed for suggesting a politically relevant thing that makes sense in the game world. It needs to be done well though, in a way that shows an interesting world, rather than promoting one point of view or mocking another.

Also, how come there isn't anything actually erotic in the trailer? There's nothing suggestive, no innuendo, just a few screenshots of faces and boobs. Not what I expected. Seems like a cyberpunk rpg with a porn mod already included, the two not interacting much. Maybe show off some prostitutes or a sexy half-naked companion? It did the job for old Cyberpunk2077 hype.

I liked the music a lot, interesting locations and world, graphics is cool, if inconsistent, the skybox for the city looks off to me, too empty somehow. The shore location sky looks much better.

As for the mouse, it looks like a strange choice. Is it trying to be cute or what. Why that? I don't get it.

In any case, best of luck.

Looks very cool, Tyranicon. To the point where even though I usually won't touch any NSFW-type game with a ten foot pole, I'll probably get this. I think toning down that aspect is a good call, and I think you might have struck a happy balance, even though I'd prefer it wasn't part of it at all.

Great job on the trailer overall!

Incredibly impressive work for a solo dev! Looks like you're nailing the cyberpunk atmosphere, and the lore of your universe is definitely intriguing.
Hoping you'll have great successes with this title, as I'd definitely want to check this game out if/when it gets made.

Side note, you mention being a writer; have you considered publishing any novels set in this universe? You could even turn the main plot of your game into a book. Seems like there's plenty of material and good potential there for maybe even a series of books.

Well, I've officially reached the point where YouTube stops sending me updates because comments and subs are flowing too quickly.

Not surprised by the vast amount of people who think I'm being wildly overambitious. I've been heading in that direction my entire dev career, and it's the right direction.

Excellent, its exactly the type of trailer that appeals to me

It seems like you are toning down the whole porn element and you use words like " explicit 18 + material available "

Is that because you dont want it to be thought of as a porn game but rather a game with optionable porn components?

Also did you create the main narrative? Did you think of the overall themes or did you get someone to assist but you had a broad view of how the story will unfold

But fantastic trailer, Im definitely going to be buying this game :bounce:
