Unreal Engine Project Extermination: Operation GroundZeroes [Phase 2 - 2023-07-16] [MATEYDEV]
- Thread starter 7767
- Start date
Looks pretty clear to me that the previous games had to happen for the dev to get the necessary experience to make this one possible and you can tell that this is the game the dev wanted to make from the start. So the other games being abandoned isn't really concerning in this case as they have fulfilled their purpose, especially considering the regular dev updates.

Maybe, so far this game is an unsorted mess of ideas that don't compliment one another. It looks like the dev is experimenting with new systems they've never used before, just like in previous games. I see this game becoming one long unfinished story of feature and scope creep, adding new things without regard for whether they actually fit in the game. It's a big game, only getting bigger, and attention wanders.

Honestly, the only thing that rn it's a bit everywhere without clear direction is the lore...
Matto is experimenting with system in order to tailor them to the game, that's the game development in a nutshell, I mean, he's not starting from a pre-built set of things, he's creating them for the game, not creating a game on some existing or already determined set of tools and this requires a bit of trial and error...

It's a valid point, so let me fix that for you.
I hope he can see this project to the end, unlike his other three attempts. This one looks promising.
NGL, you sometimes want your project to die if it's a horrendous technical mess. You can consider those past attempts to be "learning". It's better to let a bad project fade away than pour effort into a bad foundation, particularly true when it's just bungled to hell and your project is leagues away from being finished.

I swear I've seen somewhere that he actually wants to go back to finish that sidescroller/metroidvania one after finishing this one.
I'm pretty sure he would be interested, he did intend to finish that game but lost all his data in an HDD failure, and the powers that be (supporters on Patreon) voted for the current project over attempting to revive the sidescroller.
As far as I know, he intends to go back and work on the original project (Section 7), but I don't know if he is planning to revive or replace the sidescroller. This is all for the future as well, since he's definitely committed to finishing this one.
Damn you're a straight up hater! I voiced some concerns about the NSFW content but you're straight up shitting on it lmao
"Oho!" said the pot to the kettle;
"You are dirty and ugly and black!
Sure no one would think you were metal,
Except when you're given a crack."
"Not so! not so!" kettle said to the pot;
"'Tis your own dirty image you see;
For I am so clean – without blemish or blot –
That your blackness is mirrored in me."

[Active] [Primary project] OPERATION GROUNDZEROES.
Completion: [58.5%]
30% = Prototype Build [Completed]
60% = Proof of Concept Demo (The Introduction Build)
70% = Alpha One
80% = Alpha Two
90% = Beta 100% = Official Demo [Steam]
Start: 1/2022
Deadline: 2025
Last task from 26/12/2023 (DD/MM/YY):
I actually need a vote for this, what do you guys want to see the most for the next post? 1: New mutant models and item models. 2: Using item animations and item models (inspired by Escape From Tarkov) 3: Overhauled combat animation for melee weapon (replace most of combat anims with mocap)
Last implemented from 14/01/2024 (DD/MM/YY):
Now, Combat Sequence Animation System + Sequence Camera Animation System are finally ready. I see a massive potential from these 2 systems. Combat will feel a bit more cinematic this time. Still WIP btw (There is a small clipping and the intro transition is a bit too slow, I'll fix this soon). Guarding for melee weapon might be my next task.

I'm kind of worried by the H content being made a mod. Will the H content really be at all connected to the gameplay then or will it just be a gameover thing? I was hoping for pregnancy or some other way that the H content would directly relate to gameplay.
Gonna take a wild stab and say that the "adult mods/patches" that'll be available separate from the main product will come with the "mechanics" that make it feel as though it is a proper (not necessarily "core") component of the game itself.
Several games (referring namely to rpg-maker based games from large-ish publishers like Kagura Games) get released on steam that have the more (if not most) lewd aspects stripped out and you otherwise wouldn't know there's h-content to be had there, but can be added in with a patch then it is lewd for dayssssss.
I've no involvement in the development process myself so that is my stab in the dark on how the h-content will shake out in the end.

Yes and no.
It has been stated multiple times by the dev that he wants to put the least game over possible in the game, meaning that unless your whole roaster of characters gets blown up in some lethal ways, you'll always have the option to go back and rescue from or try to escape the predicaments your characters will find themselves in.
The reason why the adult content is being stripped is because of all the recent bans that we're seeing by crowd funding platforms, Patreon being the first, they actually changed their tos multiple times to limit more and more the adult themes.
Do not fret, due to the modularity of the animation sequence and how the systems are being created, the "mod" will seamlessly integrate itself with the game and will open it to third party collaborations, expecially in model rafting and animation integration; Matto has already involved someone external, an animator he previously knew and trusts to tackle the bulk of adult animations and (supposedly) adult bits of the models to integrate in this third party package.

As far as I know he don't want any involvement of that kind. Like, literally, touching the development process by anyone besides himself. Although it seems that he's open for ideas.
So we should be expecting progress relative to the efforts of a 1/2-person dev 'team' then, right?
I don't ask this in slight of Matto, as I've been following him since he was just making animations.
It's just that I understand how annoyed others (especially patrons) might be with the glacial amounts of progress and production given the size of his team, and of course, there's the failure and/or abandonment of two of his past games (even if it's for a very understandable reason, i.e. hardware failure). And gameplay over sex in these kinds of games doesn't seem to be received well by this community either.

Not at the moment, right now he's focusing on gameplay to push something playable out. He's not shy regarding suggestions either, he's always engaged in discussions on that regards and he actually listen and review pretty much everything that people suggest...obviously, not everything is considered.
...so join the Discord, ask around, he usually answer when he has time
It's a question of budged, right now he can't afford to split the revenue he has, there is no way around it, he doesn't make enough money to hire people on the team, it's not something he doesn't want to do, he simply cannot; Nevertheless he can make some investments on the project, for example he finally managed to get a used mocap suit to speed up the animation crafting, but that's a one time shot that somewhat retains it's value if he eventually needs to sell it...
There have been people who have volunteered in the past, but he's extremely (like borderline paranoia) skeptic regarding people who offer help without asking anything in return. He doesn't want to own people anything, much less favors: he wants to, rightfully as it should, be in control of his project, he want's to avoid getting someone in that could "steer" his vision because of an IOU.
And believe me, this community only wants sex and nothing else, it's blatant, as things stands, honestly, the will of this community is not taken into consideration; on every other platform he is, be it Patreon, Twitter or Discord, there is a small percentage of
Yes, he's a single developer, yes things takes time, yes things will need more iteration. That's how you develop stuff, in any fields.
