Looks like they may pull the plug on Galatea if Patreon acts up. Someone reported it. The discord is going apeshit. Helius is claiming Patreon will give them grief over her, like she hasn't been a part of this for years or anything. She also isn't even in the fucking game. I smell bullshit. Another excuse to back out of something they promised years ago.

Remember to buy the premium Galatea character pack when it comes out in a year.

Yeah, I don't get it. Why fund your game on Patreon and release on Steam if the games content breaks their TOS. Galatea isn't new. She's been there since the start. Why is it only an issue now?

Edit: Holy hell it's too early for this and I can't spell haha.

I imagine it's gotta be like you predicted. Helius has said before Galatea is fully done with some animations and just waiting on Steam approval. I kinda doubt the truth of that seeing as there's literally zero previews of her. This does make a convenient excuse on "Well, starting from scratch with Galatea so don't expect anything I said was done to be done."

Helius says Galatea was reported to Patreon. Chat going nuts, some people think it was users from this site. Pissing off your fan base when doing questionably legal stuff is maybe a bad idea.

Oof. Does Steam send an email if there was a report about a breach of TOS?
Pure speculation but whoever did this on Patreon probably did the same on Steam.

Well the one time when the stupid patreon rules come in handy.

Because that is what you need to do to make money. Didn't you see the step-brother games on patreon/steam at all ?
It's much harder thing to do with loli as you can't just rename the character, you need to make it old enough to pass as adult yet still young enough for the crowd that wants that.
I also assume a lot of projects gets away with what they do because it goes unnoticed / none reports that.

Given the drama around this game i can absolutely see them being reported for whatever reason possible. But i would call it a quick shot - they ain't getting banned for pictures on discord. She ain't in game so nothing will come out of it.

I think anyone looking for loli in such big profile game needs to cut down his expectations - they can't afford to get banned. even shortly. Subverse went with dwarf character instead and they don't even have patreon breathing down their necks. As for Helius in his natural fashion he is leading people by the nose giving them hope for something that won't happen.

They already said that making her taller was enough to get her past the Steam censors although they haven't actually shown the new model yet.

Teach them to reliably determine the age of a fictional 3D model that has no documents to call her loli?
The fact that the game has had an Alet for a long time, which also looks like a schoolgirl (and even has a school uniform), did not bother anyone at all.
P.S. and there should have been a horse there, even everyone forgot about it

Steam's rules about what is and isn't permisible on their store are lacking and being up to whatever apparatchik you get saddled with is an ongoing issue many games face - as are arbitrary standards for fictional characters (and fiction in general) everywhere else.

That being said the clowns in charge of this circus knew very well what the likely outcome of featuring a character such as Galatea were going to be, yet still went ahead and led everyone by the nose. They lied about the character because I don't doubt getting the game released on Steam was their long-term goal from the get-go.

Reminder that they wouldn't have had any issue with any sort of content if they had released the game on DLSite, or it they had partnered with XVideos or whoever else was willing to help them along.

But no, they had to be the most greedy, bottom-feeding scum imaginable.

The game should have been single-player, with a campaign and actual gameplay - the devs also forgot about that as well.

The farther along they go in warping the game into a skinner-box the more features they will drop.

And even if they do include the fabled XCOM gameplay, it's also going to be gacha bullshit with stamina bars, grinding, currency and having to buy card packs (defacto lootboxes) to unlock new characters and abilities.

I mean, they can make smol girl (which is the goal here, unless they are really aiming for that lolicon money...) without making her look like a loli.

They already said that making her taller was enough to get her past the Steam censors although they haven't actually shown the new model yet.
Yes, because the height determines adulthood of a person/character. Everybody knows that certain body features that women develop during puberty don't matter at all - it's all about height...
Also, I think the problem with Galatea is her baby face. They can make her as tall as the want but there's no defending that face, lol.
"Make her 170 cm tall - this way nobody will mistake her for loli!" - flawless logic.

They can keep her small and petite but they have make her more womanly - especially her face.
The fact that the game has had an Alet for a long time, which also looks like a schoolgirl (and even has a school uniform), did not bother anyone at all.
Alet kinda has baby face but that body is definitely legal so your comparison sucks. Extremely developed for their age girls exist but it's not a norm. You'd never associate body like that with a school girl.

Teach them to reliably determine the age of a fictional 3D model that has no documents to call her loli?
Teach them what? Basics of human anatomy? Kids are basically rectangles with a oversized head on top and sticks for arms and legs. If you have a loli next to adult but petite woman, you won't make a mistake even if their height, weight and body size is the same. Differences are as clear as day, you simply know that you are either looking at a woman or a kid.

Galatea's body is borderline and she has loli face. It's intentional because IIRC she was a sex-droid for pedos. But good luck explaining that to steam curators....

lol im not defending the dev,im attacking u guys for lying
its not like if harem mode gets cracked u guys will not rush to play it as flash cuz "dev greedy" lol
its possible to criticize the dev without saying buillshit about the quality of the game itself
The quality of the Game most of all comes from its excellent Artists (and overall i will always mention QI WU here who is a big driving factor in the projects overall success) it is making a big part up of it the other part is coding, but coding is not so strong as the Art part here and mostly the work of EPIC the overall coding excellence comes in the overall system logic which overall the most complex part currently is inside the Harem part and the workout of the whole gambling system driving it including the like system and on top of that the Network Code driving the Server/Client logic, which overall the biggest work is also EPICs.
Though you would rather wish more Developing Time goes into a functioning GAME with the IP at Hand, but this happens only as a by product currently.
And a lot of the Developing Time is going into the Mulitiplayer Part which is ridiculous the IP can be so much more even up to a high grade story driven porn game that yet no one did so far.

And the idea of a like system is funny you being liked for a Scene and Animation that was entirely pre produced (that you gained by a random dice event system) where you're not driving anything of in terms of your own creativity, the like system for a pre produced totally linear Animation is an entire JOKE in itself :D

The like System is only there because you are used to it.

And this should make you understand what this System is about, selling Animations and Art for the first nothing else then a Shop.

They make the rules for devs to obey. You fancy challenging that in court?

I believe neither have back end structure to handle frequent updates, support and integration with another platform. Then there is exposure that steam brings.
Also don't games on DLsite need to be censored? As for Xvideos is it accessible in China?

They are greedy yea but steam is the best platform they can possibly use, it can't be denied.

I'm not sure why there's debate on if Galatea is a loli or not, but she literally came from a poll asking if people wanted a loli character. Also, here's helius on it:

Like there's no debate, she was designed to look young.

On the same xvideo there is a video with an Asian model who is small in stature and with very small breasts. Looks like a real schoolgirl, but she's 30 years old. No one bans it. So your argument is complete bullshit

So of all the things that Steam allows on porn games (incest included) they decided to put the one thing Steam says "nope". :LOL: :LOL:
