Cloud Meadow is 3 months old now! It doesn't seem like that long ago and we've been working really hard to make sure the main mechanics and animations are implemented and working as intended. We're really proud and couldn't have done this without you, our loyal supporters!

Team Nimbus will continue to strive in making a better and quality product while fulfilling our promise to you in giving you a monster sex game with high quality animations by our very own Fuzzamorous and the iconic style of S-Purple.

In order to make sure Team Nimbus can continue to provide more content to you we'd like to hear what you, the consumers, would like to see for future improvements or even extra content. This post is to let us know what you think of Cloud Meadow and what you'd like to see in the future. This can even include our Patreon Reward Tiers. We welcome suggestions!

With that said, there are a few things we cannot do. Firstly S-Purple specifically cannot make pin-ups like he did for Breeding Season. Secondly, we cannot make high resolution sex scenes between monsters themselves (eg - cat x wolf).

Please give us your suggestions! We're listening.

Good to see the game is coming along. Personally Ide like to see more variety in sex positions and also a full screen option as my tiny laptop screen makes the game very small.

I think it would be neat to have special sex scenes with the monster based on if you give them an item or pass a certain quest. Example being like if you grow "catnip" you can unlock a scene with the cat monster

overall assessment after 3 months is good. though I don't like the crop growing aspect of it seems like a waste of time, needs to be fullscreen, it seems laggy and tends to be unresponsive. (1.03).

BigR

it be great if you add a way to save the game progress instead of having to start the game from the beginning.

As there are many very visually interesting and fun NPCs, but not all of them would be able to win the vote to become a full Romanceable NPC, is it possible for the many runner's up (and even some of the NPCs who are sprite only if they are popular enough) to perhaps get sprite sex animations with Eve/Evan, like the monsters get with each other? Fuzzamo can make these much faster than a full animation, and they're still very fun to watch! That way even people who voted for a character who didn't get enough votes to become a romanceable NPC may still be able to see something with their preferred NPC in game.

Dream Tree

I also feel that small little scenes/random events, while usually not requiring a lot of extra work, do a lot to make the game extra interesting. Such as scenes with your monsters at the farm...an example could be harpy deciding to wake up the protag by singing one morning, or protag almost forgetting to eat breakfast before cowgirl drags them back to eat something before the day, or wolfman carrying an exhausted protag up to bed after a long day and ending up with him falling asleep at the foot of their bed. Just cute lil' scenes that make the farm feel a little more real. Another example might be small jealousy scenes between NPCs you can or are currently romancing, over the protag, or even just small romantic scenes in general. Like Brontide bring you a nice lunch to eat together, or Goldra making you a fancy romantic dinner, or NPCs trying to bathe with you, etc. I really love scenes like these, and I feel they'd be fun in Cloud Meadow :)

That sounds awesome! I would love to see that being implemented in the game sometime in the future (since it requires not only animating, but also programming). It would definitely make the game stand out and feel more "flavorful" so to say :D

Jpooness

I would love to see separate animations scenes for the breeding of all the diff species together instead of just seeing them breeding in the barn. You can barely tell any detail on the environmental breeding in the barn and a scene would make this far better IMO.

Absolutely love the progress being made here. The little updates we get are awesome to see. While it's a shame to hear we will not be getting the high res versions between monsters, don't think i'm unsatisfied with the product. More than happy to be a patron to such a great team dedicated to providing such quality for us. I do agree with those above that little scenes here and there of the daily life on the farm would be greatly enjoyable, and of course, Full Screen whenever possible.

FinalJenemba

To the guys asking for full screen, it looks they have implemented it in this version, just hit Alt-Enter. As far as suggestions, I can't say i'm not a little disappointed that we won't be seeing any expansion on the monster/monster stuff. I understand why, you guys are putting in an unprecedented amount of detail into the detailed sex scenes you are doing, and animating everything wouldn't be possible. Is there maybe some sort of middle ground there? Have you seen the monster game in development called Forest of the Blue Skins? It's a japanese game that features sprite based animations that aren't anywhere near the quality of your high res stuff, but more than the sprites in the game now. Maybe something of that level could be added some time in the future? Just spitballing. Overall i'm really impressed with the way to game is progressing as a whole, great work!!!

Vinick

Is there any chance there will be a zoom button for sprite scenes, like the ones between monsters? Unless I'm missing something that's already there.

Sleepnir

I'm seriously amazed with the progress you guys have made in only 3 months. This demo is already very playable and has 2 full animations per month of your operation on top of everything else. Freakin bravo. Was a supporter of Breeding Seasons but never felt any need to claim any free stuff just because of how clearly you guys are working so hard on Cloud Meadow.

Sleepnir

I do wonder why the declaration that scenes between monsters "can't" be done, though. I understand that monster x monster scenes would make for a lot of extra work and would clearly be a goal for much further down the line once the game is more fully operational, but flat out claiming they can't be done made me scratch my head.

Foxy Paladin

Full Screen will eventually be implemented. As for different sex scenes we have one for impregnating and one for milking planned. However given that the game is still very much in its baby stages, it'll be a while before all of those are put into the game. So it's planned. We cannot put in more than those however.

Foxy Paladin

The farming will play a larger role. It was put in to test the mechanic before we could get everything else in as it was the simplest. We still need to implement the dungeon and combat mechanics. Farming will be more rewarding and designed to be more useful to the player once we have our core mechanics in place. As mentioned, full screen is planned. No ETA on it. Could you let us know where the game lags and is unresponsive for you?

Foxy Paladin

As mentioned in the post near the end, "Secondly, we cannot make high resolution sex scenes between monsters themselves (eg - cat x wolf). " The reason for this decision was based on Breeding Season and the production time it took to get all those animations in. Monster on monster is not critical to the design of the game. Perhaps if we were to go past our last goals we would consider it, but we haven't really gone past the Project Manager goal so it's very unlikely for the time being.

Foxy Paladin

Our middle ground is having the small pixel versions in the barn. If you have two monsters breeding with each other you'll see them spawn around the barn in various spots. They've been there for a while.

Foxy Paladin

I'll forward that to the team. We've been asked to have a zoom feature before.

Icarus Media

Hi, new pledge here (I supported breeding season before though), I understand the amount of potential animations and the reasons why it may not be feasible to do so, what I would like to ask though is how many hi-def animations will there be? Also do I have to take the 3 free months offer now or can I save them until I may need them? Oh and the game is looking good so far. :-)

CloudMeadow

There will be at least 1 high definition sex animation for each Protagonist combined with each monster, and as many NPCs as we reasonably can set it up for.

Erika

Hi guys! As an ex-BreedingSeason backer, I'm so proud of how much progress has been made on this project because of your immense hard work and open communication with your pledges. Keep up the good work and professional attitude! I hope to be able to have a little more money spare to give after xmas. Questions: Will we eventually have the option to move Eve/Evan with just mouse clicks instead of WASD? Do you think we could have walk speed increased? Can we get ability descriptions pop up when we hover over icons during combat and can we expect abilities to be shortcut to 1/2/3/4 for ease? Anyway, I know it's early days and you have heaps to implement but well done so far! Super psyched for more breeding and farming <3

Foxy Paladin

We hope to have mouse clicks for movement as a quality of life improvement by 1.04. A run feature will be implemented at some point. Probably also 1.04. Right now given there's really not a whole lot to explore, it's not necessary. Keyboard short cuts I believe has been discussed for combat. We may redo it, as it's not set in stone, when the dungeon build releases. The UI should have an overhaul once we get the core mechanics in. That includes things like having an inventory system, interaction highlights, door markers (like a green line), attack information on hover, etc etc etc. No ETA on that however.

Astromastor

Hi guys, quick question. When you get out of alpha/beta, are you planning on putting up one complete, 'final' version of the game or are you planning on adding more content after that? I know it is impractical, but it just seems such a waste to put in all these monsters and not have any sex scenes between them. Perhaps call out to the fan base and add in their animations (with minor touchups, of course)? I don't know, just throwing ideas out there. As a final note to the great Fuzzamorous, I'm super psyched that you're working on this project and can't wait to see the finished product. Hopefully it will fill the hole in my heart where Breeding Season was (Rest In Peace sweet child).

Foxy Paladin

When we get out of beta we will have our "final" product. Funding will depend on what's included in the game, so more money equals more content. I have addressed the issue with the monster x monster breeding scenes. Cliff notes version is that puts us at 800+ unique high quality animations not including possible variants (again funding). There are sprites you can see in the barn, however. We are a small indie team consisting of one programmer, one animator, and one artist. Then you have Heath who is the project manager who organizes the project. And then you have me, who works outside the game primarily for now. One of Breeding Seasons failures was that it was a small team with over ambitious goals. We'd like to learn from that and make sure we can actually deliver a quality product. For us, we have milestones based on funding. The $9000 we're getting from Patreon goes straight to Fuzzamorous and Alniarez mostly while myself and Heath are paid out of pocket for the moment and Spacedust is contracted. As of right now, S-Purple does not take any of the Patreon money. So we're all underpaid and under tight demands (Breeding Season) that a typical indie developer should not go through. If we can reach way past the $30,000 goal, high quality monster x monster animations could be a reasonable goal. We would have another animator at that point speeding up the process. There are many issues why we cannot accept fan animations or art in our game. There's the legal issues and then there's style and quality control. It would be very obvious that we tacked in someone else's art. We want to have stylistic consistency through out the entire game. It may be a porn game, but we'd like to set a standard for high quality porn games. This isn't to say we're stopping anyone from making their own fan art or animations and in fact encourage it! Please show us! Fanfic writers are also encouraged. Now for the legal issue. We would need to have a "work for hire" agreement with the artist or a waiver to give up intellectual rights to us. This is rather shaky, as if we did this for one person and didn't do it for others we could be sued for recompense due to the fact we would be making money off the art regardless of the waiver. It depends on what district the lawsuit would come to. Finally, while there are methods of making such an agreement "watertight", we'd have to hire lawyers to make sure there are no loopholes. It's basically a massive headache for both parties. We hope this answers your questions. I will send Fuzz your compliment :)

I just cant wait for NPC dating/questing to be implemented.

Dream Tree

I know this would probably be pretty difficult unless the second animator was reached, and even then would be only something to look to far in the future, but as another suggestion of possible future features, it might be nice if monsters, and/or even particular NPCs, had special little animation tics when Eve/Evan approached them. Like wagging a tail, giving a little bounce, blushing, ears perking up, etc. Again, I know there is more than enough animation work to do as is, but I figured I'd throw it out there as something to consider, if possible, for the future.

sexable npcs with smaller boobs

Hello long time fan of both BS and CM, and there's a couple of things I hope you guys would consider adding to the game that I haven't really heard discussed before. 1) Pixel sex scenes for NPCs, right now just monster x monster pairings get pixel sex scenes but I think there are merits to expanding the number of those scenes. There are so many great characters in the game, but it doesn't seem likely or even feasible to give each and every one of them a full detailed sex animation. So for some of those npcs that don't merit full animations giving them a pixel animation with protag, certain npcs, or even certain monsters, might be a good way of giving some characters sex scenes without expanding the workload too badly. 2) Rival protag, this was something I always wanted for BS but think could work just as well for CM. When you select which protag you want to play as, Eve or Evan, the other one ends up as the owner of a rival farm. I think the main benefit to this is being able to access animations for the opposite sex protagonist without starting over. It could even be open up a series of side quests, unlocking specific animations on the rival farm. Plus it opens up the option of Eve x Evan as a side quest ultimate reward. 3) In-game lore books, it would add an extra layer of immersion to the CM universe to have notes on various monsters, cultures, items, legends, and characters scattered throughout the world. Just something to think about. 4) Alternate color variants of monsters, I'm not familiar with art or animation so maybe its not feasible, but one or two color variations of the same monster scene could go a long way as far as variety 5) Finally renaming protagonist and monsters, self explanatory. That's all I got, much respect and love to Fuzz, Spurp, Alniarez, and all you wonderful wizards.
