NOTE: I only played with a female character w/o futa because I'm gay and would rather not, so I haven't seen male responses to things and am only commenting on that female side.
Quite interesting; I've seen a few sandboxy porn games likely thanks to the success of games like Ai Shoujo AI and SDT, but also because it's a fantasy thing :P. I think this project has so much potential! Currently, it's super barebones, you can practically do nothing, and the character rig sometimes bugs, but even so it's really promising. Being someone who does a lot of sim stuff, I know how hard doing animation stuff like this is (unless I'm mistaken; I don't work with 3D much sadly). The characters have systems that are there but not implemented (again unless I'm mistaken), examples being the needs: hunger, thirst, social, and so on. It feels a lot like it's trying to be a survival colony style game but one where you do sexy stuff, akin to Ai Shoujo AI, but currently there's no AI, which may be intentional, I can't tell; if this is trying to be a full sandbox-like people playground than that's perfectly fine, it's just too early for me to tell :P. I've seen some of the stuff on Twitter and it's looking pretty good. I hope this one isn't abandoned like I've seen so many before.
As for the actual game: the UI is nice but sometimes gets right in the way, specifically, the sex menu zips around the screen, it would be nice to be able to pin it akin to how you can pin the dialogue. The sounds are fine at the moment; it's barebones like I said but I imagine this will get so much better with more variants and selectable sets (the variants are more important; and by that I mean having more sounds for the same things, if I'm correct on how the orgasms work, the sound is always the same--a slightly more intense moan--but it's hard to tell). Which brings me to the next thing; the feedback isn't great: the quivering is great, the moaning is nice (could do with some more types, maybe muffled as if the character is trying to restrain themself which I've found is common), the orgasms are my main gripe: they seem to last a single tiny moment and then the character is back to horny. There are no extended orgasms, there's no refractory period, and there's no visceral reaction to orgasms. At the bare minimum make the sex menu pulse blue or something when an orgasm is achieved, at the better end it could do with the character falling over or slumping if standing and it's a multi-orgasm, the character biting their lip, lots of people exclaim when orgasming, I don't think that'd work in this game but at least a more intense vocal moan or grunt would to wonders, additionally heavy and rapid breaths are pretty common. I'm not sure what assets the dev is working with but if they have a VA and the money, getting additional takes that're more intense will really help sell it.
Lastly, the mention of the octo-head guy was interesting; never showed up, I imagine because that system isn't implemented as of this version but it feels they will serve as a shop character or travel of some sort (I'm referring to the second island a little off from the main one). The lore bit is strange but that's something that'll have to be expanded or implemented at all before I can comment on it.
Okay; it may have sounded like I was bashing the game but really: it's a great base for something that could turn out great.
TL;DR: this is an unfinished but ultimately very promising demo of what could be with some more dev time and resources. I can't say I recommend this as a game yet but as a demo, it really works and I'll be on the lookout for updates. Also; apologies for the novel of a comment; I do this a lot ( ; -v-)y it's because I like stuff a lot, please don't think I'm trying to be mean or anything.
Good luck octolex! I hope this project works out and can get more updates in time: I promise you it's bound to turn out at least good with the baseline you've set! Cheers!
I don't feel like you're bashing the game at all!!
I agree with all you have written, and I really appreciate all comments, especially one with such a detail <3
I am working so so hard to make cosmos more diverse, that's why I have been 3 month without releasing any update, I had to recreate the whole human body, but I think that people who wants to see better males in TU project will apreciate the work I am doing.
SDT was the first porn game I have played and my inspiration for the sex mechanics, it makes me very happy to read a comment on the itch page of my own game that quotes SDT (oﾟvﾟ)ノ
AI is something where I have to work on a lot, the objetive is to make something simple, like animal crossing, characters would just walk there, but they will do some work for the island too, that's something that piss me out in animal crossing, nobody does nothing, it would be great be able to tell to someone to just gather X material.
I have removed many elements of the UI, including the sex menu, it's funny because I always said things like UI just makes a game more like a software, there are many ways to interact with a game, and the UI is the most uncreative way, and I don't know why I went crazy making menus.
The voices, sounds and music is something more where I have a lot to do, I believe that all that player can hear makes a game one where you want to spend time on, like skyrim, which have a very special OST. regarding VA, I'm kind of digital beggar, so me and my girlfrend have moan in fron of a mic to make the base voices, but, and that's something where I spend so much time on, all the systems are designed to be expandable, thanks to this to add voices I just have to record it and make a new entry on the DB, also I can add more options in the same intensity, or even add more levels of intensity. So for now it's just a matter of money.
And the orgasm is just not okay, I have what I think are some interesting ideas in mind for the orgasm, and curiously make characters falling over is one of them.
I know sometimes it can feel like I've abandoned the project, but I can swear that I'm working every day a lot to make this the game I want, sometimes is really hard, boring and frustrating developing a game, but I really like getting over it and learning from it, I love what I do, and I don't think it's posible for me to abandone this game.
Thanks a lot for your comment, absQueenOfNothing ( :'D ) it's very constructive, honest and motivational, I really appreciate that <3
I saw the work you posted on the cosmos and such to Twitter and YT, it's looking really good! As a dev myself I understand wanting to put out a good product (as seen by me never uploading anything ever :P) so I get why you've not posted an update in a while; you've been very good about giving updates all things considered. I didn't play around with the male options personally but the option to have masculine characters is really nice, especially in such a dynamic fashion (looking at you Ai Shoujo AI which has two different models for male/female characters). I always strive to have super modular systems in my games as well so that adding things is super easy and fun so I like seeing all the stuff you've been up to with the animation system and such.
Other than cruddy M&F games on Newgrounds, SDT was probably the first hgame I played as well; though I watched stuff people posted before I played it. That was before I found out I was gay but sadly there's no clit-licking version of SDT ;v;. The mechanics I've seen so far are reminiscent of SDT where you move your mouse and such instead of clicking buttons, it's a really nice feeling and that's probably what garnered so much adoption from fans, especially since there was a sort of resistance and such which made it feel a lot more real.
AI is a passion of mine and I understand that simple but real feeling desire. One of my favourites in that respect (and one that I probably bring it up too much) is Ai Shoujo AI which has a desire system where all desires go up based on their corresponding stat and when a desire reaches max the AI goes to do an action related to that desire (go talk to someone for social, sleep for sleep, eat for hunger, so on so forth), that system could easily include an activity desire where they go do what they're told when all other desires are taken care of or vis-versa and have the desires come second. I don't know exactly how the AC AI works, I only played one of the games but as far as I can tell each character has different activities they do during different times of day and there's a little gap where they move from one activity to another then just have it figure out where they should be based on the current system time. That's more a theory though since I'm more used to simulative AI ;-v-, stardew valley does something adjacent to that.
I totally agree in that UI should be more visceral than digestive (ala dead-space health bar or red vignette instead of a metre), it's always hard to do that though, you did a great job making it seem less software-y, the sex menu with the deform shader or whatever that was and the aura looking overlay to that looked really good and felt a lot better than just a metre or such. I understand the switch though and if you just crank up the intensity of the orgasm and in general visual and audio reactions, I imagine it will work really well.
It's nice to hear that the system is so modular; I've seen plenty of systems that are built for one sound for one thing (given those were a bit more amateurish than something this built). I don't expect you to have spectacular VA atm, this is more of a pre-alpha build than what I'd expect from the final game, it's good that--given the budget--you could populate the game with VAs. Amusing but logical that it's just you and your GF XD, low-budget squad! It's not bad VA btw, I don't notice much difference in EroVA stuff in the first place but it's very much suitable and fitting for the state of the game.
Orgasms in humans are interesting I find :P so much in the act and the reaction of it that can be played with, both from the giver and the taker. I'm interested to see what sorts of things you'll be implementing as time goes on.
By the way: is the game going to have any built-in modding support? It would be really cool to be able to add hairs, VA packs, whatever and whatnot if possible; I'm sure it'll get fan support anyways with time if it gets popular enough ala-any big modular hgame, still would be interesting to know if that's a plan or too far in the future to think about atm.
No problem! On another account as well I put massive novel of comments in the sections below games I really like or projects I'm interested in; I fear I usually come off as a blabber-mouth with this 800+ word comment... It was nice to get a reply! If it means anything, you're work is a bit of an inspiration for me to get off my rear and buckle down on a single project, seeing all the cool stuff you're doing is really neat! Anyways, that's for the reply and keep up the good work! Cheers!
That's right, I don't see so much games worried about female-female sex interactions out of framework of a hetero fantasification, like strap-ons to preserve the option of penetration and usually has a BDSM aura, but there aren't nothing targeting people who wants play casual sex, or relationships in games, like clit licking, in my case I like to see someone enjoying, so it doesn't really matter for me the sexual scenario if it's well done, so of course clit licking it's planned as well as much other sexual modalities, this game is for everyone.
Dead Space is one of my obsessions, I will never stop thinking about how good the UI was :D
I would love adding mod support, and probably the best way to do that is making all systems from the very beginning with this in mind, but right now I have a lot of work thinking in how to do the basics things, so for now there will be no mod support, but let's say that I'm so interested. Also, specially hair works in a weird way, I simulate physics with bones, which means that hair have bones that the humanoid base body doesn't have, so I can't use master pose (the most popular technique to sync skeletal meshes) to attach the hair to the body, so I had to make hairs symulate physics in the whole bone chain and attach each bone of the hair to the reference bone in the humanoid body, I don't really know what can implies make it moddable, things like change just the mesh seems easy to do, but make modders really have the hability to create new hairs it's something different.
Oh, I'm really glad to inspire to someone ^^
It is worth being pedantic to say something that I think will not hurt anyone; If you're happy thinging about you in a future making your thing, try to finish something, doesn't matter what, something that people can see, something little if you want. I'm like you in that way, it's hard for me to show something I do because it's exposing myself in a intelectual way, upload TU project was terrifying, but I'm so happy I did. At the end you can do better or worse, but surely after finishing it you will be much better doing what you do.
I am so sorry to read that, but for now that's technically impossible, there are many limitations for mobile games, and maybe TU project looks like a game with simple graphics, but I'm using multiple next gen technologies to achieve the results I want, making a mobile version would mean remake the game from scratch.
And making a separate version for smartphones it's something that I can't assume right now, but definitely would be something interesting ^^
No no hahaha, I didn't mean that, I said that because the max tier includes at least the next uncensored version and the final version, the one I will upload to steam, but the next version are not the final one, not even close. Sorry, my bad 😅
I have to think about this a lot, I would like to make a game that everyone can just download and play for free, but if I do this the game will not have any value, for now the best I can do for the patrons, the game and for me is making a paid and a free version.
Is it possible you might sell the uncensored version here on Itch, alongside patreon? I'm more comfortable with this platform, but I'd love to support your work.
No, I don't feel comfortable getting paid from Itch, it's slower than patreon to process the money, and I don't understand the withholding being so hight, I have disabled donating in itch. I know that Patreon can be intimidating, the monthly charging can be compromissing, but I'm totally okay if you just want to make a single aportation via patreon and inmediatelly unsubscribe, in that case you will be able to acces the patreon exclusive posts and download any future new version alongside the month. Also I completely agree if you don't like patreon or you don't feel confortable, whatever, and you prefer to not suport this project, it's your money and there's no better place for it than your pocket (oﾟvﾟ)ノ
I don't know what it would take to build mac versions, I have to make some tests before, I'm using Unreal Engine 4.27 and it shouldn't be a problem.
If I build a mac version and all works fine, I will release it, the priority is the windows versions, if in a future where I'm building multiple aditional versions, any of them doesn't work I will not release it at the same time as windows.
I would like to make the game more accessible ^^
(having a veeeery slow mac at my home may be a problem)
oh i see that makes sense i was just curious because i have a mac but i cant afford a decent windows yet so i guees we have the opposite situations lol
The game, even in this simple state, is incredible. I hope things are moving along well! Can't wait to see where it goes! Hope we eventually get to experiment with multiple characters of our own creation!
Right now I'm working on a new body base, the old body was created with a very defined base shape, I think it was a bad move in a game that has to be LGTBI, where everyone should be represented and confortable, so I am working on a base shape where I can make modifiers way different between themselves. Unfortunately there's some very important things to solve and lots of tweaks before I can release the 0.1.1.
Hi! I decided to not give an answer to that question because is too risky and stressful, I want to finish the update as soon as possible, I work hard every day on it ^^
Sorry, oelat, I'm working hard, but sometimes that's not enough, human - human interactions feature is being so hard to achieve, I had to focus on this so chances are the next update won't include much more content.
Actually I can say that there's a lot of work done, and I will be able to show something soon.
I'm so sad about this situation and I'm so sorry, I'm fully responsible for having planned an overly optimistic update, and because of this the following updates will have very little content and will be more frequent.
I really appreciate your attention on this project ^^
I recommend you to wait, I want to make some changes in tiers, I think the tiers are now a bit abusives, almost elitist. There are some things in how money and taxes work that I didn't know, honestly, for me, all these money things sucks.
So if you can afford it and are comfortable doing it all inputs are welcome and I'll make sure there is recognition in the game ^^
I don't know if I'm understanding right, the game is already encoded in a zip file, isn't it? tell me there's no an evil villain that unzips uploaded files and replaces the links, TELL ME THAT THERE'S NO SUCH A VILLAIN!!!
Hey! Just wanted to say that this simulation game is amazing!
And I see that other members gave some pretty good feedback that I definitely agree with, especially regarding having only male genitalia as an option with a more visible or obvious orgasm, and a more masculine figure for males, as FredbearGaming87 and fiorello99 described it in their comments, respectively. (As someone with somewhat of a fetish for male pecs/nipples, this would be a big deal! TMI, I know! xD )
Additionally, as Project F also mentioned, perhaps the eyes too could have their own customization options.
Last but not least, is it me or are you not able to load a character from a previous session after saving them and exiting...?
Eyes are a very dificult part to make customizable, notice how in sims 4 if you make extreme modifications there are clipping when eyes are closed, or eyes doesen't totally close, so I'm working to not having these problems, but more important, I'm making big changes in the artistic aspect of the whole base character, skin will be more like... skin... and eyes will not have anime style anymore.
Regarding the chest and male modifications, i'm always working on it because there's a bug very difficult to fix, it comes from source code of Unreal Engine, here you can see how it afects to characters.
And yeah, save and exit is right now confusing, it refers save for the current session, but I've already done the profile manager menu, where you can save, load, import/export profiles ^^
movement WASD: move hold right click: toggle turn camera hold mouse wheel button: toggles camera up/down by moving mouse e/q: move up/down space/ctrl: move up/down
To follow a character you can do it by the menu located at the top left of the screen, or the contextual menu, clicking over the character you will open it, in both menus there are a camera icon, once you are following it, you can use alt + mouse wheel to zoom in/out.
hand right click: toggle hand mouse wheel: move hand away/close hold left click: interact
cosmos editor
It's like in the sims 4, to modify the volume of a part you need to click and drag over the desired part.
Also there are a menu located at the top left of the screen where you can change the name, walk and idle style, skin color, genitalia, haircut, hair color and eye color.
You can enter to cosmos mode from the contextual menu from the character, the button shows a popup with the text "cosmos mode" in it.
It should start in English by default, if it doesn't, go to the menu (ESC) and at the bottom right there is the options button, from the options menu you can change the language! 😁
I tried this game earlier today, and let's just say I had a lot of fun, I don't know if it's just me but character had both male and female genitalia, not that I'm complaining, also when I was pleasuring him and I brought him to completion, he didn't actually "finish", is this feature not finished yet or am I doing something wrong, I'd be really grateful if you could respond.
You can change the genital type in cosmos, but yes, for now there are not a just male genitalia option. I like futa so much and the truth is that I have been forgetting that it is an important feature. 😅
Yeah, I have to work on orgasm. The character technically reaches orgasm, but there is little visual feedback, especially if the character has only vagina, if the character has penis it can be seen as ejaculates. I must add some trembling animation when the char reaches orgasm, and although, it is more a fantasy than reality, make a squirt effect for the vagina.
I want it to be like this for now, the idea is that the sand acts like snow in Red Dead Redemption II, I know that the sand doesn't really act like that, but it's an artistic decision. If I couldn't create a similar effect, or due to the build system it wasn't possible, I would change it. ^^
Hi!! I really appreciate your detailed and nice feedback, thank you!!
First of all you are absolutely right and I agree with all the points, I am very sorry that the current version does not comply with customizations that suit everyone's tastes, one of the priorities of this project is to make a game where everyone can see their tastes represented and where everyone can feel comfortable.
I've delayed some of the body customizations that will noticeably change how the characters will interact with the environment (any of the customizations that modify the bone structure), and I can tell you that the modification that can turn the body into an inverted triangle is planned for the next update (v0.1.1) 😊
Some of the facial customizations, and relevant systems are planned for 0.1.2.
The final goal is to have more or less the same face shape customizations as in sims 4.
Actually the game runs just in fullscreen, maybe in the next update you can fix the issue by running the game in windowed mode (alt + enter). I can't reproduce this problem, so I hope this fixes it.
Hi, Maya, you are the same person I have been talking to on patreon, right? anyway for anyone who might find this answer and have the same problem, I'm afraid I can't be of any help. I suspect it may be a compatibility issue, TU Project uses DirectX 12 as the only RHI to make use of Lumen and Nanite, so computers that are not software or hardware compatible would not be able to run the game.
I am very sorry to read that, the truth is that right now I am not focused on options for modest computers, and they are not planned for now, however It seems too important to me to delay it too long, I will work on it.
Although let me add that this is a game that uses physics very extensively, and requires enough power to not have serious problems in the gameplay, the physics are very fun and give a natural look to the interactions, but they are also demanding and sometimes unstable, and even if there was settings today, these settings will affect the graphics therefore the consumption of the GPU, but not the consumption of the CPU.
In the next version you will be able to create two characters to test the interactions between humans, but not in the final version, you will have control of your own character, and then there will be mechanics that will allow you to customize other characters.
No, there are always limits, the maximum number of inhabitants in the game may be more or less depending on the hardware resources that each of them consumes, for now all the mechanics for the end game that I want are designed to be fun and dynamic to play with a few characters on your island, but you will be able to change the look of them, and even store favorite looks, import other people looks, or export your own.
However, the whole game is made under the idea that it should be easily expandable, so if I got a good performance, I would work on an update that would add some small town, I love small levels full of small details.
But keep in mind that this is planned for updates that will be a long time coming, and for now it's just an idea, there's still a lot of work to do.
You need a paid mega account to download it with the mega link. Anyway you can add a different link? Also the google drive link doesn't work either because too many people have downloaded it apparently. Edit: Actually I solved the problem by signing into my google drive account while I was on the "too many downloads" screen.
I don't have a paid mega account but I'm able to download it through the mega link. you can get extra transfer space for free by completing small tasks like downloading the app on the computer or through the phone

I totally agree in that UI should be more visceral than digestive (ala dead-space health bar or red vignette instead of a metre), it's always hard to do that though, you did a great job making it seem less software-y, the sex menu with the deform shader or whatever that was and the aura looking overlay to that looked really good and felt a lot better than just a metre or such. I understand the switch though and if you just crank up the intensity of the orgasm and in general visual and audio reactions, I imagine it will work really well.
It's nice to hear that the system is so modular; I've seen plenty of systems that are built for one sound for one thing (given those were a bit more amateurish than something this built). I don't expect you to have spectacular VA atm, this is more of a pre-alpha build than what I'd expect from the final game, it's good that--given the budget--you could populate the game with VAs. Amusing but logical that it's just you and your GF XD, low-budget squad! It's not bad VA btw, I don't notice much difference in EroVA stuff in the first place but it's very much suitable and fitting for the state of the game.
Orgasms in humans are interesting I find :P so much in the act and the reaction of it that can be played with, both from the giver and the taker. I'm interested to see what sorts of things you'll be implementing as time goes on.
By the way: is the game going to have any built-in modding support? It would be really cool to be able to add hairs, VA packs, whatever and whatnot if possible; I'm sure it'll get fan support anyways with time if it gets popular enough ala-any big modular hgame, still would be interesting to know if that's a plan or too far in the future to think about atm.
No problem! On another account as well I put massive novel of comments in the sections below games I really like or projects I'm interested in; I fear I usually come off as a blabber-mouth with this 800+ word comment... It was nice to get a reply! If it means anything, you're work is a bit of an inspiration for me to get off my rear and buckle down on a single project, seeing all the cool stuff you're doing is really neat! Anyways, that's for the reply and keep up the good work! Cheers!
Thanks for your comments, you're so kind (‾◡◝)
That's right, I don't see so much games worried about female-female sex interactions out of framework of a hetero fantasification, like strap-ons to preserve the option of penetration and usually has a BDSM aura, but there aren't nothing targeting people who wants play casual sex, or relationships in games, like clit licking, in my case I like to see someone enjoying, so it doesn't really matter for me the sexual scenario if it's well done, so of course clit licking it's planned as well as much other sexual modalities, this game is for everyone.
Dead Space is one of my obsessions, I will never stop thinking about how good the UI was :D
I would love adding mod support, and probably the best way to do that is making all systems from the very beginning with this in mind, but right now I have a lot of work thinking in how to do the basics things, so for now there will be no mod support, but let's say that I'm so interested. Also, specially hair works in a weird way, I simulate physics with bones, which means that hair have bones that the humanoid base body doesn't have, so I can't use master pose (the most popular technique to sync skeletal meshes) to attach the hair to the body, so I had to make hairs symulate physics in the whole bone chain and attach each bone of the hair to the reference bone in the humanoid body, I don't really know what can implies make it moddable, things like change just the mesh seems easy to do, but make modders really have the hability to create new hairs it's something different.
Oh, I'm really glad to inspire to someone ^^
It is worth being pedantic to say something that I think will not hurt anyone; If you're happy thinging about you in a future making your thing, try to finish something, doesn't matter what, something that people can see, something little if you want. I'm like you in that way, it's hard for me to show something I do because it's exposing myself in a intelectual way, upload TU project was terrifying, but I'm so happy I did. At the end you can do better or worse, but surely after finishing it you will be much better doing what you do.
I hope to see some of your projects published!
Can you please make a mac version of the game?
I will try to make a mac build ^^
tysm 🙏
The Hi, can you try to make an Android version?? because I don't have the money to pay for a PC, let alone a decent PC ☹️
I am so sorry to read that, but for now that's technically impossible, there are many limitations for mobile games, and maybe TU project looks like a game with simple graphics, but I'm using multiple next gen technologies to achieve the results I want, making a mobile version would mean remake the game from scratch.
And making a separate version for smartphones it's something that I can't assume right now, but definitely would be something interesting ^^
do you have an estimate of when the next version might com out?
¡Hi Oelat 🍞
Expect it for later this month, I will make some posts of the progress on twitter!
https://twitter.com/TU_TACO_TACO
I am now a max tier patron
Thank you, Oelat!
¡¡Hope you enjoy the next version, and the final one（*＾-＾*）
final one??? like do you mean your gonna stop working on the game?
No no hahaha, I didn't mean that, I said that because the max tier includes at least the next uncensored version and the final version, the one I will upload to steam, but the next version are not the final one, not even close. Sorry, my bad 😅
Ohhhhhhhh lol
Last update, 97 days ago. Is there an update anticipated any time soon, be it paid, or unpaid?
Hi! There are many things I did wrong and it caused the delay, yesterday I wrote a post on patreon talking about it.
The update will be finished next month, there will be two versions, censored and uncensored, censored will be free, uncensored will be patron only.
Understandable! Thanks for the quick reply!
Thank you for your interest!! <3
Will the uncensored one eventually become free??
I have to think about this a lot, I would like to make a game that everyone can just download and play for free, but if I do this the game will not have any value, for now the best I can do for the patrons, the game and for me is making a paid and a free version.
Is it possible you might sell the uncensored version here on Itch, alongside patreon? I'm more comfortable with this platform, but I'd love to support your work.
No, I don't feel comfortable getting paid from Itch, it's slower than patreon to process the money, and I don't understand the withholding being so hight, I have disabled donating in itch. I know that Patreon can be intimidating, the monthly charging can be compromissing, but I'm totally okay if you just want to make a single aportation via patreon and inmediatelly unsubscribe, in that case you will be able to acces the patreon exclusive posts and download any future new version alongside the month. Also I completely agree if you don't like patreon or you don't feel confortable, whatever, and you prefer to not suport this project, it's your money and there's no better place for it than your pocket (oﾟvﾟ)ノ
Thank you so much for valuing my work ^^
Will the game ever be made compatible for Mac as I’d love to try it out but I do not have access to a windows computer.
I don't know what it would take to build mac versions, I have to make some tests before, I'm using Unreal Engine 4.27 and it shouldn't be a problem.
If I build a mac version and all works fine, I will release it, the priority is the windows versions, if in a future where I'm building multiple aditional versions, any of them doesn't work I will not release it at the same time as windows.
I would like to make the game more accessible ^^
(having a veeeery slow mac at my home may be a problem)
oh i see that makes sense i was just curious because i have a mac but i cant afford a decent windows yet so i guees we have the opposite situations lol
p.s. it appears that i may be able to use a software to run the application on a mac actually so i may be able to enjoy the game
Nice! you probably can run the game using wine or similar, that's right \^o^/
The game, even in this simple state, is incredible. I hope things are moving along well! Can't wait to see where it goes! Hope we eventually get to experiment with multiple characters of our own creation!
I'm really glad to read that!
Things are going well, the thing is that I'm making changes on those features that aren't visible and I prefer not making posts of any of it yet.
You will be able to have characters looking as you want (●ˇ∀ˇ●)
Hey I love this game and was wonder how progress is going with it.
¡¡I'm really glad you love it \^o^/
Right now I'm working on a new body base, the old body was created with a very defined base shape, I think it was a bad move in a game that has to be LGTBI, where everyone should be represented and confortable, so I am working on a base shape where I can make modifiers way different between themselves. Unfortunately there's some very important things to solve and lots of tweaks before I can release the 0.1.1.
That sounds pretty awesome! Good luck!
Is the new update coming out soon?
Hi! I decided to not give an answer to that question because is too risky and stressful, I want to finish the update as soon as possible, I work hard every day on it ^^
Any plans for automatic mode(s)?
Yep, I have in mind a completely automatic mode and a input record mode, but don't expect it soon!
is the new update coming today???
Sorry, oelat, I'm working hard, but sometimes that's not enough, human - human interactions feature is being so hard to achieve, I had to focus on this so chances are the next update won't include much more content.
Actually I can say that there's a lot of work done, and I will be able to show something soon.
I'm so sad about this situation and I'm so sorry, I'm fully responsible for having planned an overly optimistic update, and because of this the following updates will have very little content and will be more frequent.
I really appreciate your attention on this project ^^
i might become a patreon
I recommend you to wait, I want to make some changes in tiers, I think the tiers are now a bit abusives, almost elitist. There are some things in how money and taxes work that I didn't know, honestly, for me, all these money things sucks.
So if you can afford it and are comfortable doing it all inputs are welcome and I'll make sure there is recognition in the game ^^
this game is very yes
yes
yes
yes
we need a zip file version SOOOOOOOOOO bad
I don't know if I'm understanding right, the game is already encoded in a zip file, isn't it? tell me there's no an evil villain that unzips uploaded files and replaces the links, TELL ME THAT THERE'S NO SUCH A VILLAIN!!!
ヽ（≧□≦）ノ
how long till the update?????
I've had some problems, they are already solved, but this has delayed the update, I've planned it around the 25th ^^
If you want to follow the progress you can follow me on twitter: https://twitter.com/TU_TACO_TACO?t=QwjYi-HWrUHCbSzvoBHQEg&s=09

Hey! Just wanted to say that this simulation game is amazing!
And I see that other members gave some pretty good feedback that I definitely agree with, especially regarding having only male genitalia as an option with a more visible or obvious orgasm, and a more masculine figure for males, as FredbearGaming87 and fiorello99 described it in their comments, respectively. (As someone with somewhat of a fetish for male pecs/nipples, this would be a big deal! TMI, I know! xD )
Additionally, as Project F also mentioned, perhaps the eyes too could have their own customization options.
Last but not least, is it me or are you not able to load a character from a previous session after saving them and exiting...?
Keep up the good work, octolex!
I'm glad you like it!! 😁
Eyes are a very dificult part to make customizable, notice how in sims 4 if you make extreme modifications there are clipping when eyes are closed, or eyes doesen't totally close, so I'm working to not having these problems, but more important, I'm making big changes in the artistic aspect of the whole base character, skin will be more like... skin... and eyes will not have anime style anymore.
Regarding the chest and male modifications, i'm always working on it because there's a bug very difficult to fix, it comes from source code of Unreal Engine, here you can see how it afects to characters.
And yeah, save and exit is right now confusing, it refers save for the current session, but I've already done the profile manager menu, where you can save, load, import/export profiles ^^
how do i edit it?
can someone reply me the controls?
In this version the controls are a mess...
movement
WASD: move
hold right click: toggle turn camera
hold mouse wheel button: toggles camera up/down by moving mouse
e/q: move up/down
space/ctrl: move up/down
To follow a character you can do it by the menu located at the top left of the screen, or the contextual menu, clicking over the character you will open it, in both menus there are a camera icon, once you are following it, you can use alt + mouse wheel to zoom in/out.
hand
right click: toggle hand
mouse wheel: move hand away/close
hold left click: interact
cosmos editor
It's like in the sims 4, to modify the volume of a part you need to click and drag over the desired part.
Also there are a menu located at the top left of the screen where you can change the name, walk and idle style, skin color, genitalia, haircut, hair color and eye color.
You can enter to cosmos mode from the contextual menu from the character, the button shows a popup with the text "cosmos mode" in it.
is it normal to be in spanish?
It should start in English by default, if it doesn't, go to the menu (ESC) and at the bottom right there is the options button, from the options menu you can change the language! 😁
I tried this game earlier today, and let's just say I had a lot of fun, I don't know if it's just me but character had both male and female genitalia, not that I'm complaining, also when I was pleasuring him and I brought him to completion, he didn't actually "finish", is this feature not finished yet or am I doing something wrong, I'd be really grateful if you could respond.
I'm glad you liked it! ^^
You can change the genital type in cosmos, but yes, for now there are not a just male genitalia option. I like futa so much and the truth is that I have been forgetting that it is an important feature. 😅
Yeah, I have to work on orgasm. The character technically reaches orgasm, but there is little visual feedback, especially if the character has only vagina, if the character has penis it can be seen as ejaculates. I must add some trembling animation when the char reaches orgasm, and although, it is more a fantasy than reality, make a squirt effect for the vagina.
Thank you for the feedback!
Will there be an option to choose between a normal orgasm and a squirting orgasm for vaginas?
I hadn't considered it as a customization option, but it could be fine 🤔
It wouldn't be hard to implement as an option, so you can hope so!
yes pls do this!!
you should make an option to hide the hand
It would be interesting, I'll keep it in mind!!
Thanks! 😁
do u know when the new update will be?
I'm aiming at February 14 ^^
cant u use another way to download it like the other ppl who releas ther games here
Do you mean to use itch itself as a host? when the content is larger than 1GB it's not that easy, but I'll explore it!
how do i create more than one character in the scene at once
You will be able to do that in the next version!
yessirrrrrrr will u be adding more hair and clothes?!?!
aaagh sorry I missed this reply! 😱
I'm glad you like it! 🎉😊
This version is the first one, let's say the goal is to see how it will work, so for now the content is very limited...
Of course the game will have a lot more clothes, hairstyles and mechanics to make getting these fun!!
im not sure if u have seen this but the characters feet keep going in the ground
Yep!
I want it to be like this for now, the idea is that the sand acts like snow in Red Dead Redemption II, I know that the sand doesn't really act like that, but it's an artistic decision. If I couldn't create a similar effect, or due to the build system it wasn't possible, I would change it. ^^
btw love the game
how do you download this game
You have to download from your browser!
Hope it helps you!
okay thank you
Hi!! I really appreciate your detailed and nice feedback, thank you!!
First of all you are absolutely right and I agree with all the points, I am very sorry that the current version does not comply with customizations that suit everyone's tastes, one of the priorities of this project is to make a game where everyone can see their tastes represented and where everyone can feel comfortable.
I've delayed some of the body customizations that will noticeably change how the characters will interact with the environment (any of the customizations that modify the bone structure), and I can tell you that the modification that can turn the body into an inverted triangle is planned for the next update (v0.1.1) 😊
Some of the facial customizations, and relevant systems are planned for 0.1.2.
The final goal is to have more or less the same face shape customizations as in sims 4.
this seems to be a great game!
its a shame it doesnt have a linux version tho, will you consider adding one in the future?
Thank you!!
I will explore it, but don't expect it soon 😅
np np
For some reason the game is in a language that i cant find how to change it to english
ESC -> options (the button that has a gear icon)
There you should see a dropdown with two languages: english and spanish.
I hope it helps you ^^
Much potential! :)
Is there a way to rotate the camera?
This will change in the next 0.1.1 version, but for now you have to hold the right mouse button in order to rotate the camera.
This game is really good! I just want to ask if you could add some kind of volume and graphics setting? Really excited about what this will turn into!
Thank you so much ^^
I will look into it!! 🗒️
uhm it just shows a black screen when i load it up can you check that out? the game looks great though
¡I'm sorry to read that 😰
Actually the game runs just in fullscreen, maybe in the next update you can fix the issue by running the game in windowed mode (alt + enter). I can't reproduce this problem, so I hope this fixes it.
Thanks for the feedback!
i started it up and it just showed black and never closed so idk whats wrong :(
Hi, Maya, you are the same person I have been talking to on patreon, right? anyway for anyone who might find this answer and have the same problem, I'm afraid I can't be of any help. I suspect it may be a compatibility issue, TU Project uses DirectX 12 as the only RHI to make use of Lumen and Nanite, so computers that are not software or hardware compatible would not be able to run the game.
I'm sorry ＞﹏＜.
it's very good and i'm very excited to hear more from this game, can't wait for the next update!
Thank you so much! I can't wait to wake up every day and keep working on it 😁
Can you look into adding graphics options? My laptop is what some may call "hot garbage" and the game runs at like 5-10 frames
I am very sorry to read that, the truth is that right now I am not focused on options for modest computers, and they are not planned for now, however It seems too important to me to delay it too long, I will work on it.
Although let me add that this is a game that uses physics very extensively, and requires enough power to not have serious problems in the gameplay, the physics are very fun and give a natural look to the interactions, but they are also demanding and sometimes unstable, and even if there was settings today, these settings will affect the graphics therefore the consumption of the GPU, but not the consumption of the CPU.
I'm really sorry to give you bad news.
Thanks for the feedback.
In the next version you will be able to create two characters to test the interactions between humans, but not in the final version, you will have control of your own character, and then there will be mechanics that will allow you to customize other characters.
will u eventually be able to add as many characters as u want?
No, there are always limits, the maximum number of inhabitants in the game may be more or less depending on the hardware resources that each of them consumes, for now all the mechanics for the end game that I want are designed to be fun and dynamic to play with a few characters on your island, but you will be able to change the look of them, and even store favorite looks, import other people looks, or export your own.
However, the whole game is made under the idea that it should be easily expandable, so if I got a good performance, I would work on an update that would add some small town, I love small levels full of small details.
But keep in mind that this is planned for updates that will be a long time coming, and for now it's just an idea, there's still a lot of work to do.
for some reason it want let me download i
Added a MEGA link!
Hope you can download it 😊
Thanks for letting me know!
You need a paid mega account to download it with the mega link. Anyway you can add a different link? Also the google drive link doesn't work either because too many people have downloaded it apparently. Edit: Actually I solved the problem by signing into my google drive account while I was on the "too many downloads" screen.
I don't have a paid mega account but I'm able to download it through the mega link. you can get extra transfer space for free by completing small tasks like downloading the app on the computer or through the phone
Thanks!
I added an Anonfiles mirror, it's slower than GDrive or Mega, but it should fix availability issues.
I didn't expect to have so many downloads ^^
You can use Butler with itch.io to upload files bigger than 1GB.
the [edit:] first download is on gdrive, so you can't use itch desktop app for it
The Eyes are really terrifying. Graphics are high grade! I can see some potentialin there!
Would love to see some interaction with others and maybe a Story/Goal.
WHAT!?
I DON'T KNOW WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!
¡Thanks for the feedback ^^
I see that the eyes thing is a generalized opinion, so I'll have to move it to high priority, or turn the game into a scary one 😂
The human-human interactions are planned for the next update! 😁🎉
Regarding the history/goal I think I'd better make a post to address the issue.
from the pics, their eyes are terrifying. the rest of the body looks fine tho, it's just the eyes being weird.
Sometime soon I'm going to completely change the eyes when I make them editable, I still have a lot of work to do on them! 👀
thanks for the feedback!!
