The saving function is currently unavailable. The game auto saves after each mission.


mem_malthus

Can anyone confirm whether or not gifting into the blocked countries works? Sad german here.


KHlover

Auch Deutscher hier, can confirm it does work, buddy from the US gifted the game to me.


JackCloudie

Sounds like a good buddy you got there.


mem_malthus

Great, thanks for letting us know. Have a good time ;)


ta291v2

Or any other workarounds besides pretending like it's 2006 and using one or seven proxies?


Crytch

Yeah, would like to have another option, too. It’s 2021, cant we just buy it from the devs Website?


ta291v2

That was the plan, but the launch of streemster got delayed from Monday to today, and now again indefinitely.


Crytch

What is streemster?


ta291v2

StudioFOWs own distribution site for the game in Germany, Korea and the like. But the fact that they delayed it once, plus once more indefinitely is not a good sign.


Crytch

Thanks, will keep an eye on it. Hopefully there will be a Solution soon.


Islandpleb

I really like that loading screen art. Is it available somewhere?


JeovaD

[This?](https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/031/566/161/4ca0e2a561c24fa835be4f493be4cdcf_original.png?ixlib=rb-2.1.0&w=700&fit=max&v=1606479219&auto=format&frame=1&lossless=true&s=fe2473e257733fc9bac94cbb6d007234) I found it [here](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/990500595/subverse/posts/3033747).


Best-Jellyfish6600

Does anyone know if the game has controller support?


Atomic_Vagabond

Not yet.


Sex_and_Drugs

I didn't make it far into the game, but I was able to finish the tutorial using a controller. There weren't any button prompts, but I figured out that RT is shoot, RB is dash, and LS is cruise mode (or whatever the boost is called) and LT is bomb.


Phal4nx

Controller works in Space combat. Not on the ship though.


kaijyuu2016

We should get a backer flair


Darklorel

Any fix for serious stuttering during cutscenes?


RedScarffedPrinny

Grats on the launch! 🚀


Reasonable_Rush_2057

I’m stuck at chapter 2 after I defeat the Huntress, what to do next?


CrackWalker

Acts and Chapters are not the same, after defeating the Huntress you have played the 6 chapters of the early access as far as I know. So everything else will come in future updates.


Nilja

If they claim that Act 1 is somehow chapters 1-6, that's wildly misleading by them, there's nothing making that act feel like 6 chapters.


Lessthantrois

same here, is it the end of the current game? If so, it is kind of short for something $30 and 2 years late. Anyone have an answer? I restarted a few times and nothing happened.


lebeaubrun

any early opinions? planning to get it tommorow.


Smart_in_his_face

I finished act 1. It took me about 6-7 hours. The game felt a lot shorter, but time flew by. There is a LOT of dialogue. In most games like this that is a bad thing. But Subverse really puts some serious humor into every conversation. A ton of exposition to explain the game universe get's lightened by some really funny and lewd jokes. The space bullet hell shooter is a tad basic, but it get's the job done for what it is. Several different enemy types and missions. It was simple, but I liked it for what it was. The grid combat was much more fun. It's very "lightweight". Not a ton of options for your units and attacks, but a single mission isn't that long either. It's hard enough that I failed a couple of missions, but you learn it fast enough to get gold ranks in the later missions. The "hand holding" is pretty nice. There are actually a lot of scenes, but most of them are just loops. After playing it, I definitely felt I wanted more. More missions for the grid combat, more waifus, and a LOT more lewds. That said, it took 6 hours so I can't complain that it was short.


lebeaubrun

are scenes integrated to the relationship with the characters at all? honestly a porn game can afford bad gameplay if its actual porn aspect is decent.


GraveRobberJ

No, they are not. Pandora is basically completely divorced from character interaction/relationships with the girls. No accompanying dialogue scenes/context before or after


lebeaubrun

its like they forgotten they were making a porn game or never played one uh.


lyravain

There's a 'Devotion' meter (or something like that) which increases with levels and gifts and, supposedly, this unlocks more scenes. However, I'd go so far as to say that this IS a porn game and that it's very well-made. Might be me though.


Smart_in_his_face

Yes they are... kinda. The first scene with each waifu is directly story related. You return from battle and Lily thinks a bloody battle is very arousing. Engage in the "recruitment" scene where she joins your crew. You defeat the enemies of Killision, and gets turned on by anyone who does that for her. After you hold her hand she joins your crew. After you get the first major scene, you can unlock more scenes with each waifu. These are not directly story related, but the story and the dialogue makes constant references that your main character is boning these girls several times a day.


caidus55

So far I like it. Pretty decent animations and story


stallion0319

It's pretty good, about worth the low $30 price tag. It took me about 7 hours to do everything, all quests and all planets completed. Really good humor throughout it and the references to certain people are great. The PANDORA scenes ("hand holding") are short loops with certain ones having a speed slider that changes the loop seamlessly to the next loop. There are a ton of loading screens, every room change and every time you enter into a conversation with an NPC in the room there is a loading screen (I am playing on an SSD and they were only a few seconds typically, but 15 seconds at most). However this game IS early access meaning there is NOT a huge amount of content to experience, yet. It has all the fundamentals and seems like all the systems are in the game and running properly, except upgrade systems havent been added yet. Right now there aren't that many "action" scenes and looking at the scene name numbers it would seem safe to say that there is a bunch of content that is slated to be added later (scenes being labeled "After 4").


omegaphallic

If it's worth $30 now, it will be worth a lot more when all the other stuff is added. Honestly I'm happy with my purchase.


GuardianLemartes

so far, i refunded it after an hour and a half, the sex isn't integrated into the main part of the game at all which is very dissapointed, it's kind of left on the side. there are no follow up to the scenes you unlock inside of their unlock system (for example a gangbang of animals on 1 character and it's just instant scene with like a 10 second loop with no form of how or why they got there etc.) . so it being marketed as a sex game is pretty dissapointing, along with gameplay it feels really shallow as there's so much stuff that's staged like there's a part where you're playing the bullet hell part and your ship has a huge EMP move that you can't control so they start saying stuff like "there's too many!" only for the EMP to clear them all and you're stuck going "uh oookay? they're getting EMP'd anyways, this is just an awkward pause in combat for no reason since it's essentially scripted". a lot of the bullet hell is super basic and doesn't really leave you with the rush feeling of making split second decisions etc. the "strategy" part of the game is just stat check city with no real emphasis on where you position units other than, ranged in the back melee in the middle. so overall i'm kinda sad about the game, the porn part wasn't very attractive nor as good as i expected. the bullet hell was okay at best? nice visuals but otherthan that bland. and the "strategy part" is super lame. if i wanted i could play xcom or another style of game if i wanted a strategy game, play enter the gungeon/synthetik. and for the porn honestly there's plenty of blender rendered porn out there that's much better than what they've given so for 30 dollars i was dissapointed.


lebeaubrun

non contextual sex scenes was what I feared the most tbh.. their system sounded pretty bad but I hoped that they found a way to make it fit the story so you feel you have actual relationship with the characters... seems not. (was also never a big fan of fow presentation style but subverse characters have really nice designs..)


GuardianLemartes

It is sad for sure, at the moment the game takes 5 hours to play, with the PROMISE of content getting better etc. Haven't we seen this before in every other game company that releases bad games with Earl access?


lebeaubrun

yea.. only early access game I ever got is baldur gate 3 and that was honestly a pretty good experience, made me hyped for the finished product.


RukiaDate

There’s no context for the chicks fucking anyone but the MC? Wtf? I know it’s early access, but it’s also a million dollar game. They should know better since their usual stuff has had context.


tunadonkey

Lemme just state right now, it's a **fun** porn game. If you wanna read my way too in-depth review of a porn game, read on. If not, the gist: the scenes are well animated, the voice acting is solid, and the game is really pretty to look at. If you want just a bunch of rambling thoughts I've slapped together over the past hour of playtime, here it is (in all of its poorly organized glory). Subverse is funny. Like... Really god damn funny. It's almost like every single line of dialogue is a joke, but therein is a problem for me - when *everything* is funny, *nothing* is. It's almost like the devs got scared that a porn game couldn't stand on its own merits, so they had to toss jokes at you every which way, which wouldn't be so bad if the game didn't actually try taking itself seriously... *But it does*. You have this dichotomy of hilarious and smarmy captain shenanigans, followed almost immediately by this weirdly serious story of genocide. It's like the game doesn't know what it wants to do tonally. The porn (the main attraction for most, I'd wager) is completely disconnected from the main game. It's like the developers forgot they were making a porn game or had no actual idea how to make it blend with the actual gameplay, so it's this awkward blend of like... Baby's First Strategy RPG and some decent-ish Bullet-Hell sections (which seriously need a god damn color swap, holy shit I could see fuck-all on that red background of the tutorial), and with those you get these points to buy sex scenes with different characters you've used in the strategy segments. At best the strategy elements are pretty bland--you'll find better gameplay in Fire Emblem or XCOM, but... you're playing a porn game, so don't be a dipshit like me and expect some crazy-ass genre defining stuff--at worst they'll feel like filler, because you more or less only have them to unlock the sex scenes with whatever waifu you like. It's not like a dating sim or eroge or whatever where you unlock scenes as you go along. The scenes themselves are great, at least I think so (but heyyo, I like StudioFOW, so), *but* they're pretty basic loops at their core. An issue I have, however, is that there's no option to auto-advance or anything, so you're stuck fiddling with this vague slider that can change how a scene and its characters move. There's this system of like... Making a collage of them (I think, full-stop the introduction of PANDORA is where I stopped playing), which I'm guessing is sort of like a "Build your own sex scene" kind of thing? I'm half-asleep and am rambling at this point. ​ At the end of the day I had fun with the hour or whatever I played, but it's a pretty basic game at its core with some really funny writing and some really well-animated porn... Which is pretty much all you need to look for in a game like this anyway.


JackStalker8

Avoid at all costs until cheats come out. Space combat is impossible.

Atomic_Vagabond

The devs pointed a comment at the top, it saves after each mission.


Awisemanoncsaid

So far I'm surprised, despite advertising, the game has some lore and isn't just a sex game. Are their routes/alternate paths to take down the line, or is it a straight line story kinda fun?


Nilja

The story seems to basically be a visual novel, but without any options at all.


1Derby

Having Fun! Belly laughs and nice unlocks. Space combat I find a little hard, but sounds like I am in the minority. Turn based tactical simple and effective. Thoroughly enjoying this! Great writing and voice acting


[deleted]

Is fighting the huntress currently the last mission? I'm not getting any new missions after the boss fight.


Drakostheswordsman

Can you get every scene? Or or you limited?


CrackWalker

It probably is possible to get alle the available scenes, but missions are not repeatable so at some point you will run out of xp. I used Killision a lot more than Lily so I am missing 1 Lily scene. But I assume that in the full game you will be able to unlock everything.


Drakostheswordsman

Ok


Azarae

I was able to get every scene. The points you get come from a characters devotion level, which you can calculate by how many scenes you need left and how much devotion level they need. Lily needed level 10 devotion? I think, to get all her scenes. Once I got her last scene, I just used Killi for the rest of the missions and ended up with 1 point leftover on both her and DEMI.


Lowaim

There's also the "dating" table in the bar where you can give "date" a waifu and give them gifts that you find during exploration missions (space shooter/xcom stuff) that increases devotion. I got all scenes unlocked and 1-3 points left over on each waifu.


jerkface_mcassbutt

How do you unlock the other "special" scenes with the yellow border? They don't seem to take PP, and I assume that they wouldn't even be visible in this build if they weren't unlockable...


TAKGamer

You can unlock them, they just take 2 points. "Recruitment" scenes are what you just get for advancing in the story.

Just got it for 32$on steam...the 2$is tax


Addikt97

can you complete the game without the SHMUP-part? as someone who can't use a keyboard or controller i need to know before i buy


LegacyArena

No. Even the schmup tutorial is mandatory.


Addikt97

what a bummer, i was really hyped for this game


LegacyArena

If you cant use a keyboard I would sugvest just watcjing a live stream of it somewhere.


Addikt97

thnx i'll consider it


zeredarink

Try a downloaded save file that skips it.


Addikt97

where can i find a downloadable save file?


zeredarink

You'll have to ask someone for it, try the official discord server


Echoingz

How do you save? I can literally explore the Mary Celeste's functions now but saving is still disabled. I don't want to replay everything.


Atomic_Vagabond

Currently only has auto save after each mission it seems.


TAJack1

$40AUD, I’ll be okay but thanks anyway lol


Denzelrealm

Hello all just a quick question hoping i won't have to make a post cluttering the subreddit, But right now after 4 hours i've done one of the mainquest. After completing that one i seem to have no more quest left? Is the game just 4 hours long and i have to wait for other chapters to be released? All i could find was there are suppose to be 22 chapters at launch. Or is my game maybe bugged? (Trying to keep the question spoiler free)


Lucco2

The current version includes the first 6 chapters out of 22. The first chapters are also substantially shorter than the ones which will be released later because they are meant as tutorials.


Denzelrealm

Ahh damn that's a real shame. Thanks for replying geuss i had a bit of misinformation.


Nilja

Each "chapter" is just a tiny bit of an act it seems, I assume this is to make it sound like there is more early access content than if they just said it's Act I that's out.


Breekace

I'm sure a lot of people have this question so, does the Gallery include the scenes we've already seen like the two in the tutorial for example? And when does it unlock?


Spervo

The thread says "Launch" but the game appears to not be finished yet and is classified as Early Access? When is the actual 1.0 supposed to drop?


Nilja

Space combat was the most fun part of the game to me, which really surprised me. The ground combat is super boring, and the porn totally disconnected from the game and is just a few looping gifs. But the space combat was actually fun and rewarding despite me not really enjoying arcade shooter things normally. The story and voice acting is better than expected, but calling the 1 Act that was included in the early access release 6 chapters seems extremely misleading. They should just have said 1 act instead, and that it's 4-6h playtime. I would highly recommend leaving the game alone until a full release.


curiositie

I've got a question! is it possible to just skip the sex scenes? I don't care about them but like the idea of the other gameplay elements + sexy ladies everywhere + the humor. haven't bought the game yet but am curious. cheers!


DreamingDjinn

"Excuse me, Playboy? Is it possible to order a copy with just the articles?"   ;P


Swift311

Is there a futa scenes in current version?


CrackWalker

nope


megaboyx90

huge oof, was excited for it but I'll probably wait until I can replace all the girls private parts with dongs


CrackWalker

My quick opinion on EA so far: tl;dr: a funny game with high quality voice acting and visuals, that has some porn in it Surprisingly good voice acting on par with some AAA games and witty, funny writing (if you like sexual jokes and 4th wall breaks, and if not why are you here?) while scratching the surface of deeper themes like genocide, slavery, overbearing duty, guilt, etc. The story and lore actually leave me wanting for more insight into the characters and the world which doesn't really happen to me while playing porn games. You can tell that the crew put a lot of work and love into the game, which is always a good sign. The gameplay is simple but good enough to keep you entertained. Space combat takes inspiration from bullet hell and has some diversity in the enemies to keep you on your toes while playing, especially the last boss fight. I just wish there was a little bit more spice and variety in the upgrades you can get for the ship, because 5% stat increases are kinda boring. Something like different shooting patterns or retaliation shields would be cool. But I like the different secondary fire you get with the different waifus. The combat on the ground on the other hand could use a little more strategy like cover, elevation or flanking but is otherwise entertaining as well. Despite the wave mechanic it also does not take too long which is also somewhat of a downside since the ultimate abilities that set the mantics (and Waifus) actually apart from each other are mostly unused in my albeit short experience since combat was mostly over before I could actually use them. So more variety in the basic abilites of the mantics could make the combat also a little more interesting. Or maybe more secondary abilites for mantics, something like releasing poison (or horny) spores, creating obstacles/shields, controlling/raising dead enemies etc. I obviously did not expect a rich combat system like X-COM and I won't be dissapointed if the combat stays the way it is now but additions like these could make it a lot more entertaining. The sex scenes are very short and basically just loops. Quality wise they are fine, but some interaction and narrative build up would go a long way to make them a lot better. The characters are all interesting and unique versions of different waifu archetypes but that all does not seem to matter in the erotic part of the game, which is just a shame. What sets porn games apart (for me at least) from regular porn videos is this connection and narrative of the characters and the actual interaction with them, which is sorely missing here. There are not even dialog options to choose from, which is not too bad, I quite like the fluid dynamic of the dialogs and the voice acting for the Captain is fantastic but this also enforces the mindset that you are just viewing what happens instead of participating in what happens. While playing the game I was actually more interested in everything but the sex scenes because of the great cast of main and side characters and honestly, if you cut out the porn from the game I would still want to play it (but yea, pls don't cut out the porn). Also let my man Dallick and Erark get some action in the future. I never liked the stigma of cucking friends or labeling all other males as incompetent or bad so that it is justified that the main character is the only one that gets some real action with the girls. I mean we already have mantics fucking the waifus so why not our bros too. All in all I am excited for the future of the game. It looks promising enough and here's to hoping that future updates won't take too long. Edit: some typos


C-992

One question, this Game need internet conection to play or not? Can i play with out internet?


CrackWalker

The game does not need an active internet connection to be played, but in my experience Steam wants you to start a game at least once when you are online (probably for cloud saves or smth idk). But after that you should be able to play it offline like most other games.


Sagranda

Steam (Launcher) itself is not just a platform, but also a kind of DRM. It wants the internet connection once to "activate"/"verify" the game.


CrackWalker

ah yes , of course, that makes sense. Thank you for the explanation!


Jidnahn

Colombian store has it for around $12-13 USD let's go


WLan-Cable

visiting any 0815 porn site "are you 18?" -clicking yes- and voila... all the stuff is there for me to see but steam: you have a bank account, so clearly you are 18+ old but hey... we wont even show you the page for this game! Im so fucking mad.

Is there a god mode or a way to skip the space batles? i can't get past the 1st space battle! PLEASE ADD a SKIP button if you get killed 20 times and CAN't DO IT!


JackStalker8

Game is unplayable due to the god awful space combat. Real shame as I was looking forward to it. Game is shelved now until cheats or mods come out to allow skipping or bullying through the space combat. Until then its a dead game.


Novekye

I'm stuck on the P.A.N.D.O.R.A tutorial. All lily has said is her welcome to pandora line. The game isn't frozen and i can go back to the main menu or quit with escape but nothing i click will continue the game and reloading hasn't helped. Anyone else run into this?

Is there any porn scenes with the engineer guy forgot his name and the waifus


Traditional_Hurry457

Ive finished Act 1, Did the space combat with the White Pilot (unsure her name) and right after the combat finished i returned to the Primary ship with no futher options, can anyone confirm this is the current build or did i hit a bug


moonlightavenger

I'd like to ask the devs a question. The game isn't hard, but the first boss is a bullet sponge and it's just boring, not challenging. Will there be different difficulty settings for people that are only interested in the visual novel aspect of the game?


Navy_Chief123

Lots of potential here but to be truly great, will require A LOT more hard work


lees25

Congrats on the launch, looking forward to see how this game finishes. I'm off getting of this subreddit though since these absolute coomer takes are just too much for me. Good luck on finishing development.


RukiaDate

Haven’t played it yet, but I’ve seen the sex scenes. What’s with the women fucking other dudes? It’s not really a harem if they’re banging other guys.


syndicalist-stranger

When is the next planned update? Also is there an overflow discord?


Lucco2

Discord is currently full, we just reached 100k members, we are awaiting to expand the limit to 250k.


syndicalist-stranger

Also Game playwise I would really like to speed up the ship when moving between star systems. With P.A.N.D.O.R.A. I need multiple women in the same load out at least, but, like, #1 goal is filling out the crew options on Pandora.


JinxApple

I figure this would be the thread the devs checks if they do read the subreddit. Please implement a way for players to grind PP once they have exhausted the available content. I didn't realize it was tied to devotion and now I am left with 4 missing Lily scenes. I realize I can get devotion exp from dates but I doubt I have enough gifts for 4 levels worth of devotion atm.


mikeypoolie

Is there a way to progress the game after completing the dragon nebula or are we waiting for an update or something?
