@FPCGameSoftware @ExTerMINater267 This all sounds well thought out and accurate in terms of racial traits and bonuses, given other games that have the same races in the past Any quibbles about them people may have can be attributed to the in game lore as reasoning for the decisions made

Yup, the other races have different sexes, that will decidedly add twists based upon what the player selects. Elves, basically no change from humans as far as traits, but very long lived. Goblin males are driven to acquire resources for their mates and children. Strong will, strong EI. Goblin females, larger, stronger, and smarter than the males, but pretty much perpetually pregnant with just a 6-week gestation, normal birth is 2-3 children. They are a matriarchal natalist culture. Centaurs start with a plus 10 or so to strength, and a higher maximum. Centaur males basically exist in a subdued state of roid rage. Very strong, very dominant, cannot live with other males if there are female centaurs in the community. Centaur females, very submissive, bonded to their stallion, must be milked 4 times a day unless they have foaled, or experience gradual hit point loss down to half health.

So, we have a decision to make. We like making adult video games, but their reach is constrained. We are working on a survival fantasy game, should we make it sfw, with the option for an adult mod? Or just stick to the adult version?

@FPCGameSoftware @ExTerMINater267 OMG survival where you collect resources and build a base?? I love those too This is right up my alley for sure...Valheim was a fantastic game & is built using the same concept This is gonna be so peak!!!

Yup, we have a 9 stat attribute system, which we whittled down to 3 in the Visual Novel. Physical -Strength -Dexterity -Constitution Mental -Intelligence -Wisdom -Willpower Social -Appearance -Charisma -EI/Emotional Intensity They all start at 8, the player chooses their primary, secondary, and tertiary, and they advance at different rates based upon that, max is 18. Then there are a number of skills and such based upon those choices. Currently there are 2-character choices, Male, or female. We hope to expand those to include other magical races that will have different buffs. Male, your physical traits are buffed by 2, and social is reduced by 2, female is the opposite. We plan to include magic in our survival builder, which should add a fun twist.

@Eman_8282 I like mine exactly like this I want it to be crunchy not chewy...The fat isn't as palatable when it's chewy It's a texture thing. Same reason why I refuse to eat mushrooms or anything else that is slimy or rubbery like that

Do you consider this bacon burnt? My kids said I burnt the bacon 😂😂😂😬

@FPCGameSoftware @ExTerMINater267 What about character progression? Will there be a talent/skill tree? Stat points to allocate? Sorry for what may seem like an interrogation, but I'm seriously hyped about this now that I know you aren't the typical AAA corporate DEI & political messaging dev team

@Pyro2678 @ExTerMINater267 That's the goal! With this game, we hope to be able to play it, and add in changes fixes and updates as we go, based primarily on the books, but also some player suggestions.

@FPCGameSoftware @ExTerMINater267 BASED!! I love it 😎👌

@Pyro2678 @ExTerMINater267 Well, lol, when we first started our game company, we named it "FPCGameSoftware," and it stands for "F*** Political Correctness Game Software." So we kinda lean into the hate a bit. 🤣

@FPCGameSoftware @ExTerMINater267 This sounds very promising...I'm assuming you will be doing an Early Access setup to get a playable version out ASAP while still making updates/improvements to the game if you are going to be partnering with Steam then Will be wishlisting it as soon as it is uploaded ^_^

It depends on what we can do. We are both self-taught on programming, and UE is not really intuitive. But our goal is real time combat :-) Hopefully, with Grok Build, it will go easier, and we will start getting these Open World games out "soon". We will start with as Alpha as steam will allow. We have been loading all the assets needed to build the panhandle, from multiple asset sites, and we have a ton of plug-ins.

@FPCGameSoftware @ExTerMINater267 Regarding your AI usage, I have no issues with that at all, but there is a HUGE amount of people who despise AI being used in games or other content that will lambast you for it, so be ready for that The hate that the NTE developers got was absolutely disgusting and repulsive

Originally, we started out with Adult Visual Novels and followed the books main characters, the New Gods. But we hope to do these UE style open world games as well. We tried this once before, and couldn't figure it out, but this time we have a lot of AI assistance, so there's hope, lol. We hope to include a lot of options, so that people can play this as an open world survival town builder, and choose when the next stage happens, so you can play the game for generations, have your character die of old age, play your heirs, and so on, then export your save to the new release. In the books, this part would only be about 5 years, but we want to make it more playable long term. Think Medieval Dynasty, but with centaurs, elves, demi humans of all sorts, who can join your village, instead of just humans. The next game in the series would involve the third book, the god war, and the destruction of the planet, followed by an entirely human city builder on an asteroid floating through an eternally white space, with an atmosphere being held in place by the god Atlas. Followed by everyone gathering in Hooker, for the sacrifice, where the gods leave our reality, New and Old, in order to allow reality to stabilize.

@FPCGameSoftware @ExTerMINater267 That sounds amazing!!! This definitely sounds like something I could really sink my teeth into Is it an RPG? Open world like Crimson Desert or Eldin Ring for example or is it more of an on rails experience like the Final Fantasy 7 remake where it's broken up into chapters?

In his unwritten works, which we hope to get to in this game series, the Kingdom of Hooker, gets picked up and moved, the entire planet goes through a massive upheaval as time shatters, and then Hooker lands on a brunt and barren wasteland, on the coast. The gods are barred from reentry to our universe, so they negotiate with the fae, to rebuild nature outside the city, by speeding the seasons, winter, spring, summer, fall, every day, each season 6 hours, in order to shatter the lava rocks and turn it into soil. The plan is to have a collection of interwoven games, so people can play through the entire timeline.

@nuhre_ These companies who were once the titans of the industry and could do no wrong are now nothing but a shell of their former selves and the talented and passionate people who worked there were replaced by DEI hires with ZERO talent, experience, or skills That is why games suck

God, I fucking hate the mentality of “leave this dev/studio alone, they made X game 20 years ago. They know what they’re doing,” like that somehow makes them exempt from criticism. Like we haven’t spent the last five years watching giants in the industry deliver awful sequels to beloved IPs over and over again. Bro, there was a time when I would’ve gone to war for BioWare, and now I’m the first one ready to rip them a new one. You think your silly little devs and studios are safe from criticism? Not on my watch.

@nuhre_ These troglodytes fail to take into account the fact that the people who MADE those awesome games 20+ years ago are no longer working there & have long since been replaced The game dev landscape has changed a LOT in terms of gender and racial identities & thus is not the same

@Sassafrass_84 Won't do any good until we get rid of the corrupt judges who let criminals walk, and throw the book at anyone who is conservative or pro 2A

Well, that's interesting. If applied in America, the democrat party wouldn't exist. Can we just go back to arresting politicians and sending them to jail for corruption? Treason is a whole other ball game.

@FPCGameSoftware @ExTerMINater267 It's not unusual for works of fiction to be named after geographical locations/landmarks The popular Diablo franchise from Blizzard was named after a mountain in CA believe it or not

@Pyro2678 @ExTerMINater267 Cool, this game will be built close to Hooker Oklahoma, my husband was writing that part of the book while he was driving through there, loved the name, and the town. 🤣 In his series, it becomes the last surviving bastion of humanity. "The Kingdom of Hooker"

@SmashJT Uh oh...time to put the fries in the bag I guess eh? Can't wait until they ALL go under They'd better go back to being REAL journalists and stop pandering to their buddies in AAA and start being honest and objective or they will soon be on Linkedin asking for help /w employment

Journos freak out big corpo isn’t going to keep supporting their activist asses. Go out there and make it on your own you fucks. Prove you have something people care to listen to and trust your opinion. Oh. Wait. I see why they’re so freaked out. McDonald’s is always hiring.

@FPCGameSoftware @ExTerMINater267 Whoa...I actually live in OK so that's really cool 😮😎

No, our games follow Daniels book series, so there will always be story and such in most of our games. This one is based on showing what happens after an apocalypse built on magic, rather than zombies, or technology. It will be set in the Oklahoma Panhandle, which we are rebuilding in UE.

@FPCGameSoftware If you DO go to add adult content, don't cave under pressure and bend the knee to the mob of people who will inevitably complain about it, but never actually buy the game in the first place Adhere to your vision and see it through, because those who approve will support you

@Pyro2678 Yes. It's probably both. But logic dictates that it must be AT LEAST one. It's impossible that they're both actually into this media and exist in the numbers they look like they do online. Because if that were true, this stuff wouldn't all fail.

The woke Spartacus series got cancelled, specifically because no matter how many black girlbosses they add, they can't change the fundamental demographic appeal of the genre and make their diverse "modern audience" show up, and Starz doesn't want to make stuff for white men.

@Aurondarklord Exactly...look at what happened after the death of George Floyd for example, or even before that when BLM first became a thing when they torched & destroyed their own town of Ferguson MO More recently look at all the footage of the "Teen takeovers" and observe their ethnicity

@Pyro2678 Yeah. That just blatantly isn't the real world. Wokeness is all built on lies and anyone who isn't woke basically knows that the sort of street crime the Punisher punishes day to day doesn't look like gangs of whites running around bashing blacks at random, but the opposite.

@Aurondarklord I'm inclined to believe it's a mixture of both tbh because there are LOTS of leftist tweets that get thousands of likes about a game/movie/TV show, but when it releases it bombs within a few months

At least one of two things MUST be true: 1: Wokes are tourist outsiders to every hobby they infest. Their real hobby is sitting around online stumping for their politics. They're not actually into the media they claim to want and won't buy it no matter what. 2: Wokes are far less numerous than they appear online. They rampantly bot and buy likes to a far greater extent than other groups do. Their opinions can look widely held only because they've all got 50 sock accounts.
