Looks amazing but really wish you would have gone a step further and make some minor life sim similiar to lifeplay by vinfamy, maybe with options between male and female characters and partner genders. But looks amazing regardless, just hopeful dreaming on my end.
Looks great. Are there any plans to implement buttplug.io or something similar , to sync toys like Fleshlight Launch or The Handy with animations? That would be a game changer.
Fair enough. I think the Lustbound game really demostrate how adult games can integrate interactive toys in a fun way. Hope you consider it in the future, so its not a purely visual experience.
Game looks and feels great. Only two things that "bothered" were that the characters were super tall, above lamps and kitchen cabinets, etc. Some sort of eye tracking thing would be nice too (or random that simulates something believable.
You can't buy it here, it is only an optional donation with no benefits. However on Patreon you will get the cosmetic items for $4 for the free version (currently 0.1.1) and the latest build of the game with more character customization options for $8 (version 0.2).
The graphics and UX is insanely good. Are there plans on creating a studio mode for VN creators? I could see a studio mode being popular, as a standalone, or DLC for devs. Especially, if there are a decent amount of landscapes/areas/backgrounds, main character/male customizations, multiple actors in scenes, lighting controls, additional clothing, a more robust body posing system, and built in 60fps 1080p-4k video render export capability. Damn cool so far. Can't wait to see where this goes.
My only gripes, female actor walking animation is very rigid. Had to go fullscreen to adjust resolution to 4k. At 4k with DLSS disabled, I'm getting like 24fps with an RTX 2080. DLSS enabled with performance mode, I'm getting 60ish, with drastic dips after ending a "scene" and returning to the first person view of the house. I have a few different systems (gtx 1070, rx470, and mobile 3050ti) to test at lower resolutions, I'll try to report back performance on those at 1080p.
Test Rigs:
Nvidia RTX 2080 (latest drivers-clean installed), Ryzen 5 3600, 16GB ddr4 3000: Playable at 4k with DLSS performance mode, all other settings on ultra.
AMD RX 470 (latest drivers-clean installed), AMD FX 6300, 8GB of ddr3 1600: playable at 1080p (but variable resolution needed), custom settings, lighting low, anti-aliasing low, variable resolution on, high geometry, high detail).
AMD RX 460 2GB (latest drivers-clean installed), Ryzen 1500 Pro, 16GB ddr4 266: playable at 1080p (but variable resolution needed), custom settings, textures high, shaders medium, lighting low, anti-aliasing low, variable resolution on, high geometry, high detail). I did notice some really bizarre geometry glitches on the couch scene. The default character had inverted knees and butt in part of the pose.
This game shows how much you learned from your first run. Cannot wait until you have this developed and explode onto the adult gaming platform. Good luck and excellent work!
Moderately concerned that the posts mentioning the download when u launch could cause viruses are now gone. Kinda makes me not wanna do that, hope some clarification can be given. Ive just had some bad run ins with games on this site giving viruses that token logged my discord or worse, not wanting to repeat. Please let us know what that download is about. Thanks!
We wrote to the person that said that and it turned out they made a mistake or just wanted to hurt our reputation. Allegedly Malwarebytes gave this positive, we ran it ourselves and it said it was clean. Feel free to run an anti-virus program on it yourself. There is 0 point for us to put viruses in a game we want to sell and is already making good money on Patreon.
But even when false the comment was causing a lot of confusion. People did just read the first comment and took it for granted (classic internet), then come to our discord talking about it. We told the person that we will delete the comment to avoid confusion if they can't tell us how they even got the idea that there could be a virus, and we got no reply. So we deleted it.
I fear this comment will cause confusion again since people won't read everything, but I guess we will just have to deal with that now :/
Ah I see, thanks for the clarification. Feel free to delete this one too, but I can guarantee youll get more since theres a pop-up telling you to run something on first launch
They probably meant the promt to allow the installation of prerequisites through the Itch manager. Usually it's about getting some Redist, DX or Platform specific libraries (Here most likely the UEPrereq). Needs elevated rights too, so it's a good thing if people look twice there - but claiming it's a virus with no foundation is not.
Well just amazing even tho it's a demo i can see this being very successful not many nsfw games allow you to walk around interact most are just visual novels so this is a nice change keep it up man whether its paid or not will defo be buying
The animations look great and with great potential. At this time I feel the game looks more like a tech demo. Nothing wrong with this, but I have some questions.
Does the game at this time have a story ?
And if does not have story will it have one ?
If this game comes close to a real 3D RPG adult game with a compiling story and engaging quests, will make the game a hit.
Yes, this is just a demo/very first version. There is a text box with info to your question after the girl enters the door. But to summarize we are currently working on gameplay and story :)
First time I hear about this. What GPU and CPU do you have? Do you use the dx11 version of the game? Try to install this "HomeTogether_v0.1.1\Engine\Extras\Redist\en-us\UEPrereqSetup_x64.exe". If that doesn't help, update your graphics driver.
Consider installing this: GameBaseFolder\Engine\Extras\Redist\en-us\UEPrereqSetup_x64.exe. If that doesn't work try to start the game with the dx11.exe. Also you might wanna update your graphics driver.
No software messing with clock speed, at least none that bothers to tell me. I set clock speed in the BIOS, and it is set for "reliable". I am not over-clocking. This PC is fast enough in this mode.
Here are the specs as reported by Windows:

Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.4180.0
This is an old but reasonably capable PC. It does not exhibit any other reliability issues.
I see. For now I don't know what else you can do to solve the issue. It happens to me as well sometimes. I turned off said program, it helped. The other time I did that, it didn't. I will need to further investigate. If I have a solution and I don't forget our little chat, I will let you know ;)
I know that kind of problem, having spent a significant part of my life in maintenance. When the root cause just will not reveal itself any change you make to fix the problem is really random and may or may not actually impact the problem at all. In the worst case this all you can do, and is fine as an approach until further evidence turns up. I would appreciate advice from you if you turn up further evidence related to the observed problem. Should you want further details of my system feel free to ask.
As well, I will:
1) Try a fresh download and install of the game. My system took Win 10 patches from Mr Microsoft on that day, which might have needed a proper reboot to finally install, not to mention that Mr Microsoft has bugs of his own sometimes. That reboot has now been done and the problem may have cured itself. If so I will let you know here.
2) If the installation fails again I will wait until the next release and try again.
Hi TM, See the comment below this from dam36 re adding parameters to a shortcut to the executable. Works for me too. Maybe this provides some clue as well. Reagrds.
interesting. There should already be a shortcut that starts the game in dx11, below the .exe. Does it also work with that shortcut or only the new one described here?
edit: our shortcut did not have the -force, so if your PC supported dx12 it still took it. Thanks for letting us know we added the -force for future releases!
Hi, this seems like it's a heavy game, so could you add the minimum requirements to the description? Also are you planing on a mac and android release?
We are waiting for feedback from users with low end PCs.
Android is not our target platform so I doubt we will release for that. Mac seems more possible in terms of performance alone. But we don't have one to build the game for it.
low-ish end laptop user here. the game runs at 19 fps and the menu and character creator are quite laggy, but the game itself runs good enough. im not sure what info to give for specs though, im not very familiar with how computers work. my processor is an intel core i3 10th gen, and i have 8gb of ram.
Thanks for the intel! Have you tried to reduce resolution scale to a minimum while your anti aliasing is set to ultra? This could improve performance drastically.

Not a fan of porn games, but this one is fantastic
I've tried a bunch of different things but i cant get any sound to play, ive even reset my pc and stuff but theres no noise
So far no other players reported this issue. Do you have the same issue with other games made in unreal engine?
id love more controll over things like the size of the boobs
This is possible since version 0.2
Two different artists worked for us and each of them made one track. One is played in the main menu, the other in the house.
Will we see the girls squirting?
Not sure. Sounds like a good idea though.
Looks amazing but really wish you would have gone a step further and make some minor life sim similiar to lifeplay by vinfamy, maybe with options between male and female characters and partner genders. But looks amazing regardless, just hopeful dreaming on my end.

Not on our to-do list for now.
Fair enough. I think the Lustbound game really demostrate how adult games can integrate interactive toys in a fun way. Hope you consider it in the future, so its not a purely visual experience.
Love the game, any chance in the next updates to make the girls thicker?
Thanks. Yes! It's in the very first second of the video. You will find this in version 0.2 which is currently only available on our Patreon.
Game looks and feels great. Only two things that "bothered" were that the characters were super tall, above lamps and kitchen cabinets, etc. Some sort of eye tracking thing would be nice too (or random that simulates something believable.
I hope the dev(s) able to read here. I hope you can give us the female's view as well. I am tired of being male's view while having sex etc. Thank you
Female POV will be in version 0.3
If I buy this here, is it just a demo or does it have all features that are currently available?
You can't buy it here, it is only an optional donation with no benefits. However on Patreon you will get the cosmetic items for $4 for the free version (currently 0.1.1) and the latest build of the game with more character customization options for $8 (version 0.2).
Okay, thanks for clarifying! Patreon it is, then!
Much appreciated :)

What popup? Do you mean the firewall? Unreal games always trigger the firewall, but you can just say no, the game does not need it.
They probably meant the promt to allow the installation of prerequisites through the Itch manager. Usually it's about getting some Redist, DX or Platform specific libraries (Here most likely the UEPrereq). Needs elevated rights too, so it's a good thing if people look twice there - but claiming it's a virus with no foundation is not.

installed the game, also installed UEPrereqSetup_x64.exe but still showing lowlevelfatalerror. d3d11util.cpp line 183
Have you tried the dx11.exe? Does it crash during the game or at the start up?
at the start up
dx11 shows error
this is the thing that shows up after i enter the game
I see. Try to create a shortcut of the game exe and add "-force -dx11 -dxd11" to the launch parameters.
wuts the recommended processor for this?
I know it's probably my fault but does anyone know why I cant hear anything? It's kind of weird when it's so silent.
Do other games have sound? If yes move all sliders in the audio settings. And check that it isn't muted in the windows volume mixer.
This game would go crazy with a VR-mode
will it be on Mac?
We don't have a Mac to build a version, but you never know.
I'd really like to see your games on Mac too. Do you take hardware donations?
Sounds like a cool idea but we don't have a public mail address. Maybe an easier approach would be to receive a coupon to buy a Mac.
Won't register that C++ is installed so I can't launch the game.
Have you tried installing this? "HomeTogether_v0.1.1\Engine\Extras\Redist\en-us\UEPrereqSetup_x64.exe"
Had to download through the web browser instead of the app. Looks Promising!
that's a mistake
What and why exactly?
the female voices, because i'm better
I would like to hear some voice recordings of you then. Do you have a link you can share?
That's not what i meant, i'm better in general, no because i'm not talking about being better at voices
Do you mean you are better than 3D girls because you are a real person? If not, would you like to elaborate please?
The animations look great and with great potential. At this time I feel the game looks more like a tech demo. Nothing wrong with this, but I have some questions.
Does the game at this time have a story ?
And if does not have story will it have one ?

Yes, this is just a demo/very first version. There is a text box with info to your question after the girl enters the door. But to summarize we are currently working on gameplay and story :)
Quick question: For the full release do we need to pay(or get it on patreon) or will it be free but some stuff will only be available ? o_o
We haven't decided on that yet. There is still a long way to go until the full release.
oh I see (also cool game!)
Thanks for responding! :D
Thank you too ;)
: D
when I load up the game, majority of the textures are missing or scrambled, main menu has just teeth and eyes, with silhouette of rest of body
First time I hear about this. What GPU and CPU do you have? Do you use the dx11 version of the game? Try to install this "HomeTogether_v0.1.1\Engine\Extras\Redist\en-us\UEPrereqSetup_x64.exe". If that doesn't help, update your graphics driver.
so just downloaded it...nothing in menu about how to move and all that. help please lol
you walk around with W,A,S,D. Activate sex scenes with E. Exit them with E.
Just wondering if other customizable features such as make-up, pubic hair, and further character facial customization are going to be added.
We are planning to do that.
Question: Why does it cause a firewall popup?
Seems to be Unreal Engine related. The game doesn't need a connection. You can play offline. So you can block it if it makes you feel better. :)
can you, please, do the "potato-computer" version? My PC is crying from the mere presence of this game on the disk...
In case you haven't tried it out yet. Set the resolution scale to the minimum while anti aliasing is on ultra.
i downloaded this game again... and... lowlevelfatalerror. d3d11util.cpp line 183
Consider installing this: GameBaseFolder\Engine\Extras\Redist\en-us\UEPrereqSetup_x64.exe. If that doesn't work try to start the game with the dx11.exe. Also you might wanna update your graphics driver.
Hi Dev,
On starting the game 2 things happen:
1) Windows Firewall presents me with the option to allow HT to access my network. I don't think this is a problem, I note it for completeness.
2) I receive the attached crash message, and this is a problem.
Hope you have seen it before and can solve it.
Regards,
Hi,
do you have any software running in the background that changes your clock speed? Try to close it and see if the crash still happens.
Hi TM.

Hi TM, See the comment below this from dam36 re adding parameters to a shortcut to the executable. Works for me too. Maybe this provides some clue as well. Reagrds.
I had a similar error, I fixed it by making a shortcut of the .exe file and adding "-force -dx11 -dxd11" to the launch parameters
Thank you, works for me too. I have referred the Dev to your post. Regards,
interesting. There should already be a shortcut that starts the game in dx11, below the .exe. Does it also work with that shortcut or only the new one described here?

Please, make a mac.os version if possible
Nice animations and simple UI, looking forward to seeing what more comes from your development!

i have not, but ill try it now.
just tried it, you were right about drastically. fps rose to 25 and there was noticeably less ping
Where should we post our specs? here?
Right here is just fine.
Hi !
Why the animation doesn't play ? I tried every button, click every spot, but nothing works...
Despite that, good graphics. Very nice.
Hi and thank you!
Try to change to borderless window or fullscreen in the graphic options. That might do the trick.
Thanks, it's resolved !
Keep up the good work, you're doing great.
Great!
Thanks, we will :)
