Nice game ehhehe

Thank you, im glad you like it!

It has much potencial yeah :D

Are there any plans for a Vulkan or DX11 version? It could help those with older systems or using Linux ;)

Hello,

No, sorry. As UE5 has got more and more update it supports less and less DX11, causing crashes and instability.

The minimum requirement is a 1060 6GB, which is almost a 10 year old GPU. I can not go any lower.

playing demo rn on steam where is keycard in living quarters level?

Hello,

There is two keycard in the living quarters:
1. Dead Special Force soldier on the stairs behind the second elevator.
2. Dead hazard guy in the service tunnels.

I have problem in running game in steam. Can you help me please..
(DirectX 12 is not supported on your system. Try running without the -dx12 or -d3d12 command line argument.)

I have updated window, I have DirectX 12 in window.
How can I run this game..?
This is my laptop (13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-1340P, 16GB RAM)

Hello,

This problem mostly appears if you have an integrated GPU beside your main GPU and windows choosing the integrated one.

You have to change the OpenGL settings from automatic to your main GPU.

I try to change the setting, but I only have one GPU with power saving/high performance mode and I select high performance mode but game still don't run.

I found some examples with same error and
I try to change compatibility mode (to window 7 and 8),
run with administrator privileges, remove and reinstall, etc.
But I can't run the game.

Please share other known reasons if you have..
this game looks funny and I'd like to play with it.

Can you please tell me what kind of GPU you have in your laptop?

It's Intel(R) Iris(R) Xe Graphics.
It support DirectX 12 but doesn't support DirectX 12 ultimate, is it a problem

The Intel Iris Xe graphics hardware is essentially the predecessor GPU developed prior to the Intel ARC Alchemist discrete video card architecture.

The tested benchmark performance levels has the GPU perform above that of a GT 1030 but substantially less than that of a GTX 950. It performs well below 20% that of a RX 550 GPU from AMD. The GPU is essentially competing against the Nvidia MX350 GPU.

So the problem is not that it is not supports DX12, the problem is that it does not reach the minimum GPU requirement, which is a 1060 6GB ( or equivalent GPU )

I was wondering will this be available on steam deck

Hello,

I cant promise at launch.  I dont have SD dev kit, nor enough dev to develop an SD version simultaniously. 

in theory, the game should be able to be run in steamdeck via steam's proton.

right now, i'm downloading the demo through itch app and will add it as a nonsteam game to steam library and in the preferences select run with compatibility tool "proton Experimental".

i've done this with many other games so far and others have already confirmed that it works for almost all titles on Arch Linux (which the SteamOS is based on).

So maybe all you might need to do is to provide (thoroughly tested) instructions on how to do that.

(+1)

The problem is not proton, the problem is that SD simply not enough strong to handle the game, and i would have to develop another version of the game with reduced textures/meshes/effect quality, so as in the case of other games which has SD version. For that i would need more developers to work simultaneously on the SD version. ( which i dont have )

Might after the release.

tested it a while and it works just fine on linux mint. i can't see any reason why it shouldn't work just as good on steamOS/Steamdeck.

(+1)

As i said in my previous comment, SD hardware is not enough to run the game properly, and i dont have enough dev to work on a separate SD version.

Do you have an AMD or NVIDIA GPU or do you changed something in the Proton config? I'm asking, because the game runs horrible on my AMD GPU Linux Box, which could be related to DX12. Usually DX11 games run way better with it, but this game seems to have only DX12.

(1 edit)

i am using the "nvidia-drivers-570-open" with my 2070 and "proton experimental" in steam. nothing else.

but sadly it is not running on high fps. would need to turn down graphics or resolution too much.

Careful when visiting the HUB, sleeping there will overwrite your saved Checkpoint! I lost my whole progress just by exploring the HUB. It seems that beds in general (including the stasis bed we start the story after character creation) are save points where the ONLY 1 save slot is written. --- Dear Dev, I don't mind if a playthrough has only 1 slot, but it would really be nice if at least the HUB could not interfere with its save file. Not sure about the bed mechanic, i like the idea to save when I can find a bed, but that doesn't happen during the story game so far.

Hello,

This is a demo, the HUB you can reach now separately because it was a request of the community to just hanging around.

In the final game after a story mission you will go back to the HUB, and from there you will be able to reach the rest of the safe zones ( HQ/Club/Laboratory/Apartments ).

The game will have an autosave method with checkpoints.

Ooh, so it isn't actually separate but part of the same playthrough. Alright, thank you for the clarification! Okay so it is just a bit of a dead end trap now just because it is not connected yet, i see. :D

Something like that, yes. It is there so players can check it. The demo is like less then 10% of the final game, and there gonna be more safe areas, like the HQ, the Club, the Apartments, Gym, Arcade.

There gonna be challenge levels, like the HUB Defense, and 35+ story mission levels, 70+ outfits, and lots of NPC interactions.

(1 edit) (+1)

That Sounds amazing! :) my only problems are that in my country i don't need to have any hope that Steam will offer it, and that i cannot really afford continuous Patreon subscriptions. But especially the Steam blockades irritate me. I hope, one day I can get a full version with a 1 time payment of any kind. Thank you for your work! There are not enough games of thiy type. :)

We dont have any crowd funding page, nor community finance. 

Im gonna ask money once im gonna release the full game, which i plan at the mid of 2025. ( my aim is May )

Меня держит в заложниках оборотень и я не могу найти карту . Не знаете где она?

Hello,

Check the demo playthrough video:

(1 edit) (-1)

I'm stuck either it's end of the demo or i can't find how to turn on emergency generator, i pull two valves and then lever on the wall then in the server room after that, i don't know what to do and one door says it needs keycard but i cant find it anywhere. im at  Alpha Den - escape from the Alpha Lycan

Hello,

Upstairs you have to jump across the falled catwalk, and in the rest room you gonna find the keycard for the security room.

A youtuber made a demo playthrough, it might help:

Hello, the game does not start, it gives an error - DirectX 12 is not supported on your system. Try running without the -dx12 or -d3d12 command line argument. Although the latest versions are installed.

also have the same problem

Hello,

This error appeals mostly if you have integrated GPU, and sometimes windows choose that instead of the main one. In your GPU settings change GPU usage from automatic to your main GPU.

Disabling DX12 wont work, because the game does not supports DX11.

bro sorry i can't find how to do this

Hello,

I need more information for further help.

What is your PC specs? CPU, GPU, RAM

Awesome Project! Beautiful made!

Thank you very much, im happy you like it!

The funny thing about my version of the game is that it doesn't start but at some point an error message appears behind the window, and when I look under AppData/Local/Project Beowulf the game hasn't even created this one (ProjectWerewulf_PCD3D_SM6.upipelinecache). Please link your version of this file

Please tell me what was that error message.  Also please tell me your PC specs for further help.
If UE does not generated that file could means your GPU does not supports DX12 or you are missing some pre-requirement like latest GPU driver or latest visual C++.

(+2)

Game won't launch. Just gives a black screen and "Not Responding" in task manager. Already tried updating UE5 and have the most recent nvidia driver. RTX 3070. Previous version ran fine.

Hello,

This is an UE related issue.

On every startup UE generates a file ( ProjectWerewulf_PCD3D_SM6.upipelinecache ), and sometimes the engine failes to generate it correctly.

To solve it go to "User/Appdata/Local/ProjectWerewulf" folder, and delete "ProjectWerewulf_PCD3D_SM6.upipelinecache" file, then restart the game.

Hello I've tried both the itch and steam versions of your demo and I can't get it to run.  Every time I press new game it freezes for 20 minutes then crashes. I'm using to lowest settings and should be within the system requirements.

Hello,
Two possible reason to have this issue:

1. Your rig does not met the minimum requirement.

2. You are missing some of the UE5 requirements, like latest GPU driver, diectx or visual studio.
Please go to "Steam/steamapps/common/Project Werewulf/Engine/Extras/Redist/en-us" and double click on "UEPrereqSetup_x64", it will install the latest visual studio and directx. Also please make sure you have the latest GPU driver installed.

Is the transforming mechanic going to get expanded upon in the future? It seems odd that the only way to turn into a werewolf yourself is a very specific situation in the prison escape part of the game. Would be very cool to see that get expanded more or be something that happens in the normal mode of the game if you lose to the alpha or something. Either way, really cool game so far and looking forward to future updates. ^^

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback!

For now in the demo this is the only way to turn into werewolf. In the final game it will be also "controlled", story oriented. The reason is, because the levels has to be designed directly to Jessica if she is a human or if she is a werewolf. Mixing that would ruin many game mechanics. But you will have the chance to play as a werewolf more in the final game. 

Also, feel free to join to our Discord if you like to follow the development.

Have a nice day!

That's fair. I can see how it might be difficult to design the levels around being able to play through them as a human or as a werewolf. 

One interesting option could still be to see a lycan or werewolf transformation occur as a sort of a bad end/game over state for a sex scene if you're defeated in combat or by a specific enemy, after which you'd have to reload back to a checkpoint. Just a thought, personally I felt that having it be a chance based thing in the prison was a really cool idea and could make for a cool "game over" type scene at least.

Hello,

I like your idea about the bad end/game over transformation! Im gonna consider how and where can i implement.

Have a nice day!

Hey.

Just curious, but I noticed that the game is gonna be launched on steam in a few months. Did anything come out of your consideration of that idea? Meaning, is there going to be any additional transformation related content (for the player character) in the finished game? Things like losing to a certain lycan during the story gameplay resulting in a bad end in which the player character turns or anything else like that?

I'm quite interested in seeing a trope like that come up as a threat of some sort when I'm going up against creatures like lycans or werewolves in a game like this, more so than just the hub hanging around and whatnot. The survival gameplay with an enemy like that seems cool, with the hentai-esque nature of the game obviously being a bonus.

But yes, is there any hope of seeing any more (or any at all) content like that in the game by the time it launches, or even post launch? It does have quite an impact on my interest in the game, as it is sorta what I was hoping for from a game with a setup like this. 

Hello,

Yes, and there are way more safe zones as the HUB, there is the HQ, the Club,  the VIP Club (BDSM), the Laboratory with Lycan experiments, your HQ Apartment, other NPC's HQ Apartment, with many many interactions.

The final game contains 31 story mission levels, 9 safe area, and 4 challenge level.

Jessica is a pure werewolf, She can not be impregnated by Half Lycans, but the ALpha Lycan can, so there is an "end game" scenario after a certain number of defeat.

I suggest to read my dev-logs on Steam, or join to my Discord if you like to see the upcoming features in the final game, which will be released on May 14.

Where is the keycard.I can not find i

(1 edit) (+1)

Hello,

Depends which one.

1st level: Cryo chamber, dead Hazard guy
2nd level: By the dead Special Force guy
5th level: in the bathroom next to the dead women.

Wow. This is a really well done game.

My PC did not handle it very well, as I was running slightly less than minimum requirements, that aside, I was able to play the first stage.

A few critiques I would add would be:

     A better aiming system (maybe even first person).

     Ability to change camera angles more for the "werewolf scenes" (if you know what I mean ;) ). 

     Bigger flashlight spread.

     And alternate arrow key options for movement (but that's mostly because my pc is broken and I can't use the "D" key or afford to replace it).

Hello,

Thank you for your kind words and also your feedback.

Im pushing up now a demo update in this moment where i have improved performance and aiming, and added new melee enemy and a few small event.

Arrow key options - and many more feature - will be available in the next bigger demo update at Fall.

If you like to have more info, you are welcome to join to our discord server.

Have a nice day!

Looks good and I encourage you to continue making this game but definitely has flaws from what I could see in the videos. 

The sound effects were not good.

The transformation itself wasn't too much too look at. The transformations from the game "Don't even Think" were pretty good. (Example)

I'm just saying the TF seen could use some work. The women screaming was a nice touch though. 

I think the werewolf form needs to be taller. Bigger. There has to be a logical reason why clothes rip apart

And the enemies we fight seem too weak. Fight as a human or werewolf doesn't matter because you can literally kill any enemy with just one hit.

Despite the issues, I do encourage you to continue. There is really not a lot of good werewolf games.

One last thing I tried to download the demo on steam and its not working. I tried to download here but it claims to take a day or two to download. That can't be right.

Hello,
Thank you for your feedback and im really happy that you like the game!

First thing first, comparing an indie game with a AAA PS game is not really a good point in the case of transformation. In Project Werewulf i am morphing the character in real time, but i wont add more effect, because i dont really like the too much shiny vfx. Her body also change into more muscular/bigger, but She is a women, i dont want to make Her a giant. 

Also, i have different type of werewolves, Half-Lycans, Lycan in my game, im going to the more "human looking" direction.

Combat in werewolf form: Yes, it looks easy, because in human form Jessica will be really vulnerable , but She is powerful in werewolf form.

Dont really understand what that means "Steam version not working". Not working how and when? More then 20k people downloaded it, and nobody reported any issue like this. Also, without more information i wont be able to help.

You could join to my discord channel, and there i can help you.

Have a nice day!

can i play this on a lap top with 10gb ram and 2gb vram

Hello,
I mean, you can try, with the new patch i have improved the performance, but i doubt it would be enjoyable. The minimum requirement is 16gb RAM, and 4gb VRAM.

But demo is free, so give it a go. :)

Show post...

not work link steam .lol

Hello,
The Steam link works, i have tested it.
Also, try to search on steam directly, or join to our DC of you like to see more.
