Faehna Engine is a 3D multiplayer sandbox survival game inspired by the TerraFirmaCraft mod for Minecraft as well as The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

We at Nekomimi Software, also under the name Plump Pasture Co for our more fetishy games, will be releasing Faehna Engine for free and open sourcing it under the AGPL license so that anyone may create their own works based around it or using it.

It will be available on Windows, Mac, and Linux.

The base game will be very light on the fetish side as we would like to have as many people enjoy it as possible, though it will still be 18+ and have some especially squishy player models available. However, we will be releasing an official “mod” for free through the forum which will add weight gain, lactation, vore, and possibly more.

I hope you enjoy the culmination of my many years of work on this game and its predecessors.

About

Faehna Engine is a 3D sandbox survival game that could be described as a more realistic fantasy Minecraft with smooth terrain and RPG elements and a style similar to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

Using the Voxel Tools module for the Godot game engine, it is possible to create 3D smooth terrain that can be easily modified in real time. Combined with an advanced structure building system, you can create a world in which almost anything can be built.

(Example terrain from the Voxel Tools repository.)

The gameplay itself will be a fun mix of various mechanics that mimic real life while still keeping the game interesting. Farm various crops, cook delicious foods, find huge clusters of ore through prospecting, search for clay to create pottery in a pit kiln, learn magic, travel the beautiful landscape, raid mysterious seemingly-endless labyrinths, and defend your home from monsters.

The game is meant to be played with friends or your partner, but singleplayer support will also exist through a special option when creating a world.

Character creation is one of our biggest priorities. We would like for players to be able to have the freedom to play as anyone they want, whether you prefer to be a human, furry, cat girl, or anything else. We will try to support as many different shapes and sizes of characters as we can, and for those we don’t, you’re free to mod them in.

Note: We are also hiring a character modeler! If you would like to apply then please send a message. There will be pay.

Roadmap

Faehna Engine’s 1st true release will be preceded by several pre-alpha versions, v0.1 through v0.7, though everything is subject to change.

Pre-alpha versions will be released free of charge for playtesting, or you can try compiling the game yourself from the repository after the first prototype is released.

  • v0.1 - Goal: To create an extremely basic prototype where 1-8 players may connect to each other and create or destroy terrain, as well as place or remove structures.

  • v0.2 - Goal: To add a basic item system where the player can move items between inventories. This prototype will also feature furniture placement and interaction, item processing, and basic crafting. This prototype adds basic mod support as well.

  • v0.3 - Goal: To add a little bit of real gameplay, with tool creation, clay deposits, ore veins, prospecting, smelting, and basic smithing.

  • v0.4 - Goal: To add farming, hunger, effects, nutrition, and foraging for wild crops. A basic version of the attribute system will be added as well.

    • Mod Goal: To create a simple mod for the game which adds weight gain depending on the number of calories eaten and your physical activity.

  • v0.5 - Goal: To add animals, rotting, and fertilizer.

  • v0.6 - Goal: To add a fun and interesting combat system and monsters to test it out on.

    • Mod Goal: To add vore to the existing combat system.

  • v0.7 - Goal: To add monster raids which endanger your home, structure damage, defensive structures, and an adaptive event system which may cause beneficial or detrimental events depending on your current status in order to create a fun story.

Once all of the pre-alpha versions are complete, we will focus on polishing the game’s experience for a full release: Alpha 1.0.

Current Status (April 26)

v0.0.2

Goal: Terrain added; Terrain is synced with other players

Players can now connect and interact in the character testing scene.

With v0.0.1 freshly completed, I will be heading to sleep because I have been working on this since early in the morning and I’m exhausted.

This game actually looks like it will be a banger of a game, I’m curious if online will be server online or hosted server online either way I can’t wait to play this with my friends

I mean from what I’ve seen from preg kink there are several ways around the child part, especially in a fantasy setting. Most people with preg kink don’t care for children either, so there are quite a few tropes to draw from. The most popular one I see are slime pregnancies, and I’m sure the interested parties could provide more examples.

Like, this is a world you are constructing. The rules are whatever you want them to be.

Oh, well probably should have read that most recent post oops. I’d recommend putting the code in a public repo for anyone who wants to tinker with it rather than having us message you or something. Makes it much more likely that someone will pick it up instead of it being lost to the void of cyberspace.

Thanks. With the amount of work you seem to have put into it it’s worth giving it the best opportunity to flourish, no matter how unlikely. I hope you can find peace and happiness with the new direction your life has taken.

I think I was in the discord, but not anymore, and it seems i can’t rejoin. hope it wasn’t deleted or i was just kicked for inactivity, though i was set to lurker.

Damn!
It is a shame that the game’s development has been put on indefinite hiatus. Hope someone else comes along and tries to pick it back up or use it for a new project

Pregnancy Fetish Polls

I’m still unsure how to implement pregnancy so I’d like some feedback from the people interested in the game. I can’t guarantee that the result will be exactly how the poll wants it to be but it will affect how I approach this issue.

Context: As the game is open source, everyone has access to the code and all other resources used in the game. This is pretty great for most purposes, but it also means that if someone is particularly evil, they can add some pretty messed up things to the game, including illegal content. I am, of course, not legally responsible for anything they make, but I would at least like it to be difficult to mod in. The problem with pregnancy is that potentially means adding children to the game and there are many ways that can go wrong.

Are you into pregnancy?
  • Yes
  • No
0 voters

If you answered yes to the previous question:

Which option do you think would be best?
  • Add children but make it difficult to modify them for illegal purposes.
  • Only add pseudopregnancy (no children).
  • Don’t add pregnancy.
0 voters

EDIT: Also check out the new main post, it’s updated to match the current game plans.

EDIT 2: If you have any ideas for pseudopregnancy types or other ways to avoid the child issue (aside from them just immediately becoming adults), please comment below.

EDIT 3: Wow that suddenly gave me some awesome ideas for an alternate magic system based around pregnancy.

22

Great to see you haven’t given up on the game, is such an interesting idea. Hope to see good progress and hope it goes well. No stress, enjoy developing the game as much as you would when playing it

23

For the idea of after pregnancy, players could, or are required to build cribs, and grow to full after a few days

24

Pseudopregnancy could imply carrying something like biomass that could be sold, sorry if it sounds weird

The “pregnancy soul magic” concept for anyone who’s wondering:

Context: Canonically, this universe has an issue with souls. Without getting too deep into soul lore, souls are basically “running out” over time, as there is only one way they are replenished but over many many years (millions to trillions), the universe slowly dies as having a child becomes more and more difficult due to the lack of souls.

With the pregnancy magic system, you would be able to create souls in your womb and be able to use special varieties of magic through the energy received from birthing those souls. You can also use the energy to “birth” special items that can be used for other purposes. If you want, you can also just passively keep a lot of souls in you if that’s all you’re interested in or you just want to roleplay a pregnant character without giving birth in 9 months (or however long the race you’re playing takes to give birth).

Also: Mpreg makes no sense lore-wise and I have no idea how mpreg would work biologically either but let’s just let people have their fantasies and allow it.

Apparently the Patreon link was malformed before so it was unclickable. I’ve fixed it now so if you would like to support me and the project then you can either go to the main post or click here to go directly to the Patreon. Thank you to anyone who goes and checks it out even if you don’t decide to buy a subscription.

I like it! Gives you the Thing without actually having the Thing.

I also know from third-party experience with the eroge game Corrupted Kingdoms that Patreon will freeze your account if you put children in the game, so this concept fits well with getting around that issue.
