i'm already excited for it >W<

Oh my gosh this sounds amaaaaaazing

Man, I'm reading up on C++ just for something like this! Although I imagined a much cleaner project in my future, but I want to be on board.

Well its relatively clean. Like I said, its not a sex-focusedf game, it only has an optional feature for that... which you can disable for yourself if you wish
However all the sex animations are still explicit, and all the sexy bits are visible and animated.

Helping with C++ would be awesome, are you familiar with UE4 already? Its a bit different from the naked C++... but in a positive way!

What gameplay system do you think you could program with your skills?

I've used naked coding in java for interface design and object-oriented event handling. I've never used an actual game engine, instead designing by using algorithms to draw bitmaps onto the frame buffer depending on user input and the current state of the program. This was the basis for my Android game "Slide & Switch", out on the Google Play Store for free.

I'm currently a software engineer on salary for an ISP, working weekdays. I've graduated with a bachelor's in computer science at the University of Indiana

Oh? sounds interesting!

Thank you! :}

Awesome!

Oh wow, very cool!

I'll be watching your patreon. Im not able to become a patron anytime soon, but hopefully in the next year or so, if not sooner hopefully, I can afford to support it.

I'm so happy to be contributing to this. Good luck Salireths and I am excited to see where it goes. Honestly blown away already.

I'm hopeful.
Also, Lecc has question.(weeks pending)

Sounds interesting; I'll look forward to seeing how it goes.

Look like an amazing project I can't wait to see finished }:D

When I get working again I'll be sure yo pop this and signal boost it. This looks quite good.

I can't wait to play it when it is ready

Fuckin sweet, I'll keep my eyes on it.

If this pans out fully I am definitely gonna play. A chance to be something close to my trueform? Yes, please. Even in a video game, it would be a lot of fun. I absolutely love the raptor's animations in the video you posted on youtube.

Looks super cool!! @o@

now I really hope for vorish stuff~ you made so many wonderful vorish renders in the past....I can only dream of what you have planned for this~

seem pretty good, Im keen on trying it out! :D

sounds great. will be looking forward to it. if you need a hand or anything I'd like to join in meshing or what not if your open to it. if not I'll deal x3

Rockatronic, boet.

oooh? xD

Looks and sounds good, ahah!

that sounded it interesting as I hear about it, and cool naughty furry things? I hope this one is going to be good!

*noises of excitement*

This looks really interesting man. I can't wait to see how this turns out.

Is this the science-based dragon MMO we've been hoping for all these years?

Seriously though that's pretty cool!
First and foremost I really like the way you do your videos. They really remind me of the Alpha Changes videos that Wolffire Games put out.

It's a really fun idea and sounds achieveable enough. Wish you all the luck for reaching your goals. :D

I also loved how they did updates on Overgrowth! Took some inspiration from that indeed :}
Because i don't like how videogame companies are always too secret about the projects they are making. I want to engage with community as early as possible, all to make a better game together :}

Oh man. Very excited to see it progress!

Love the progress so far! Shoot me up for ideas if you need any!

VR is not planned for this game... I left that idea behind, because of the complications it makes... I can't do it alone.
Visualisator, however, has all the chances to have VR in it :}

Ohhh that looks realy interresting and Promising ^^

Even naughty stuff hm? :3

Yep, if you want :}

Awesome!
Hey dear, do you think that maybe when the game is ready, you could try creating an Android port? I mean, the game seems awesome, but I'm sure my laptop won't be able to handle it, as it wasn't made for games, but my phone otherwise is a beast in specs (Galaxy S6). So with an Android version, I'd be able to enjoy the game on it, playing with the graphics at the maximum, particles, performance... These things :3

An interesting concept for sure. Good Luck with it!

Oh and don't be surprised if these creatures start building stuff, shooting, making love, or even pooping.
...did you just say...pooping?
https://youtu.be/3MD48_-NUBE

Its a normal biological process, everyone poops, no need to be super excited about that.
Im making a biological simulator after all to justify all the freedom im giving out (ability to sex, egg laying, vore, etc). No reason why I should ignore such fundamental thing.

Very, very nice! I wish I had time to help: I'm a game designer, AI specialist and I even know C++... and I'm finishing a PhD this May o_@ But in a few weeks' time, if you still want some input, I'd be honoured to lend a claw

That's interesting! I would like to know more about it! Let's keep in touch! :}

Also, are you familiar with UE4? What kind of gameplay system you think you could make for the game?

Quite an ambitious project. I'm really excited to see what you can do with this!

Compared to what i had previously in mind, its not really ambitious. Its rather simple really ^^ Yes its a lot of work, but nothing too bad xD

I can't wait to see how it turns out once it's finished!

Gonna be a long time till that, but a beta might not be that far under the horizon!

Cool game! I love your accent. What nationality is it?

It's a blend between different accents I found when traveling around xD

Cool! I wish I could travel. Maybe in a couple years, hopefully.

This looks amazing! I'd love to see how it develops

I'm learning c++ for my data structures and algorithms course... I don't like it in comparison to c# and java

C++ is good for handling memory and is the programming language of choice to make video games.

Many prefer c#, which, of course understandable. But ue4 has a very different C++, because of the amount of flavor syntax they added, lots of macros to use.. and it's really making the programming job easier.

Best of luck, Salireths!

That looks very promising! So in short, it would be some kind of Sandbox game with scalies without any specific rules? That would be awesome! Do you think you can be able to manage to do everything? Would it be easily accessible and easily configurable?

Anyway, you have my support on this! It's very cool!

Thank you!
Yes, that is the nature of it! Sandbox game where you choose how to play it :} and you have lots of options

I will certainly try to do everything myself. :} So far I don't see any major roadblocks when it comes to the gameplay programming. Surely it takes time, but it's all ok :}
As for other things, art assets and sounds I don't even worry about it ^^

And what do you mean by "easily accessible and easily configurable"? ^^ Mod support or just a good options screen?

I love it!

And by easily accessible and easily configurable, yeah, I meant mod support, scripts and similar.

I cant announce anything related to mod support just yet... (lots of work ahead of that and it's too early to talk about it)
But I can say that game is on Unreal Engine 4... And its easy and accessible, so making mods on this engine is nothing new :}

Finally making the game I've been dreaming about myself lol, go for it

OMG this game is like a dream coming true :D
I've always wanted a game like this and now finally it might become a reality <3
I'm really excited about your idea, definitely looking forward to it ^_^b

Games made by furries/scalies/whatever are always so awful. Boring sex-focused "gameplay" and bad animations. But not this one. :D

I'm a professional C++ programmer and it's tempting to offer help, but I think I still just want to work on my own projects instead of collaborating.

I know this feeling! This is exactly why Im making my own game, instead of working somewhere else or making mods for something... ^^

Hope it doesn't totally get shot down by anyone not in the furry community for the sex parts, I'd like to see how this turns out.

That is interesting to find out indeed :}

This gives me the desire to learn C++...Because it looks like an awesole project. I prefer collaborating over leading my own projects.
Good luck for this project.

This looks great so far, best of luck with the project!

Looks pretty awesome.

Don't really have time to code anymore; otherwise I'd offer. Maybe in the future Ill have more spare time.
Any plans to let us upload our own models?

Best of luck

Well it's not Secondlife where you can just upload your models right away in the client (and fiddle with them for weeks to make them ffing work...! Sorry I have emotional problems with that game)

Sooo... custom models via mods I guess?
And if you want me to make custom species for you, I certainly can do that, it's even a Patreon reward now! But since it's a lot of work involved (modelling, modelling multiple customization options, rigging, texturing, programming it into game), so it's actually... the highest patreon reward xD

I can see its not second life; was just wondering if it was a possibility.
At the very least for the community to take some work off your hands in terms of the modeling and rigging if you can give out the format you're using.

This looks and sounds simply amazing! This is the most significant and bold video game involving dragons, dinosaurs, and other scalies/furries by far! I absolutely love it!

I've only seen a handful of games where the player can be some sort of reptile. Most often, games and other mainstream media portray them as evil/enemies, which I really dislike.

I've been following your work for a while now, and with your amazing 2D and 3D skills, I know this game is going to look and feel stunning! The preview looks really promising so far, so I'm hoping for the best. I would like to see both anthro and feral species, as well as more scalies, such as alligators/crocodiles.

Keep up the good work, and good luck on it! I truly hope to see this project realized in the near future!

Thank you! Same problem for me, this is why I'm making the game :}

There is not going to be typical furry division of anthro/feral. No one is going to be anthropomorphic really, because it would signify a resemblance to humans, who we don't have in this multiverse.
However that doesn't mean we won't have bipedal creatures with up-right posture ^^ That's exactly who I will make next :} More info about that coming soon!

You're very welcome! I'm glad you're working hard to provide a solution to that major problem! :D

I totally agree with you—what I had in mind were bipedal creatures, not exactly anthro ones, so you've read my mind completely! ^^

If you need any help in the future with this project, feel free to reach out to me. I don't have much experience coding, but I can help with other tasks, such as beta testing, proofreading, etc. I have a very keen eye for detail (aka OCD :P), so I can help spot and correct problems. ^^

I'll be looking out for more info about your game and eagerly awaiting its release! :)

Oh my gooosh, this looks incredible! Once again, this seriously has great potential, SalirethS. ;D
Definitely eager to see its progression!
Totally would love to live the life of a dragon within this universe of yours. ;P

I would contribute to the patreon if I could, I really want to! Uuugh. Hope my words are a motivation, at least. D:
I wish you the best of luck in the making of this, man!~

Thank you so much! ^^

You're quite welcome!~

I've literally made a word file for jotting down ideas that come to my head for the game, just cause. x'P
Don't know how much you're open to ideas though, or how you would want 'em shared. But, I'm sure you've actually got most of 'em planned out already, by the sound of things. ;P
Such as those suggestions  raptorarts gave just below this! Definitely looking forward to that stuff. ;D

OMG! This looks freaking incredible!! I can be a raptor or my dragon raptor for that matter and do whatever I want? EPIC! I dont have a patreon but if it was gofundme.com I might be able to do a little something when I get some kind of spending money. I got tired of "2nd Life" because of the low poly and way WAY too many worlds and nonsense in there. I like World of Warcraft but havent played it since I can only do the demo version up to lvl 30. but I hate the idea of having to kill everything just to get a ring, gold, shovel and BS like that. Sensless killing is a terrible thing. Kiling to eat, thats different.

Since were on that subject heres some ideas:
Hunger bar gets low you can hunt or eat plants pending on your species. One kill usually is more than enough to fill your belly. There should be a kill limit set for those who just want to "WOW" everything.
Translucent wing membranes would be awesome.
When its cold outside you can see your breath.
when you get wet you actually see that your wet
when your dirty you can see that your dirty
when you breed you can see everything at any angle... I did not just say that? Hehehe well there are furs and scalies that will want that so have it be a selectable option in the menu of the game. Same with gore or even seeing the process of laying an egg "realistically". eggs dont just magically appear from thin air.

As you can see I view a lot of things from a very realistic standpoint and I see you want things portrayed that way as well so theres just a few little things i could suggest.

Thanks for creating this amazing game and I would love to be a Beta Tester on it one day :)

Heey! Thanks! I totally agree with you! And also most of your ideas are actually already planned :} That's good, because it signifies that we want the same thing from the game! :}

Awesome!

That's a game i would love to play.

You said you will add more creatures, to that i got a question: do you add some of the big dinosaurs like T-Rex or Brachiosaurus? I would love to play a Brachiosaurus :3

And thank you for making that game, i really want to see finish ^^
For that i wish you good luck :)

No plan to add any big dinosaurs yet.... I'm very limited with animation "budget"... soooo I'll have to be creative with that... Hopefully in a good way ^^

Ok, i think it will work in a good way ^^

Finally a game where I can play a raptor that *isn't* a setting about killing dinosaurs?! :D

Hope I can make myself a big crested, white feathery raptor ^_^

Definitely!
White raptors are <3

I hope i get a chance to try this game out when it is ready

*sigh*
I need to get my shit together and start studying 3D art and animation... It's something I've been thinking about for years since I too am interested in making video games.
My dream is to make a massive first-person horse riding game where you have your own stables and can take care of your animals, ride freely in the forest or compete.

I am already in love with your game and your passion for it.
If I had the skills for animation and 3D art already I would've loved to help you out.

OH very neat! (And don't forget to add on arrow movement controls for those of us who are left-hand mouse users.)

I know I'm late to the comment section, but congratulation to what you achieved and much luck on the future of the Project! ^-^

I hope for great things for you in the future!

How is development going? Will a demo be released at some point? It's been quite a while since this project was announced and it would be neat to see some kind of early build/demo, or at least some information about the state of affairs.

A public demo or announcement showing off the progress you've made would help build confidence in the project, and bring more attention to it. The current lack of transparency has led to people saying the game is dead and calling you a liar on your last youtube video about it.
