Unreal Engine Fallen Doll: Operation Lovecraft [v0.4.9 Cracked] [Project Helius]

[Terix3]

Game is still vip, but hey we already have a business plan for the next ten years xD I wonder what happens when Steam realizes Helius is making money outside of Steam.

Steam told them to remove all buttons to the patreon from the game. Making money through patreon is not the problem, many others do it as well.

The problem is that you can't buy access through steam but you can through patreon, which puts steam customers at disadvantage. My guess is that its some loophole - probably they got set amount of beta keys for patrons and steam doesn't mess with that. It says that by pledging 36$ you get key for the game once it enters Early Access - this is not ea now but beta. So i guess if you don't get beta key you can't even complain XD.

For anyone who still believes they aren't going to monetize the game: Here's the conversion rate for buying currency.

Oh the fact that they will monetize the game was certain, don't think even drones would try to deny that.
The likes conversion puts outfits at 5-10$, but they were already selling outfits via the patreon sub bonus for 8$+ tier so i guess that is old news.

Man, I put like $500 into this project, and I'm so disappointed.

I'm gonna need some copium to get thru everything the devs are gonna through at us

That means you should have the capitalist/aristo tier which gives you all season pass for free if what they said is true. That should help you quite a bit. Unless you never went for the big tier and you are long term patron instead.

Trust me I feel you there.
If it is f2p why the f**k are we paying for it too?
We paid to test it for them?
I am furious that they said this AFTER the fact too.
Not enough money for the dev it seems. Got to rake it in after and do it off of Steam's record too...
Scammy asf

Well to be fair there are many games on patreon that are free and supporters just get early access or ability to vote on content.
The problem is that they promised full game for patrons and how they withheld the information about the change. Finally still no info about the new direction on patreon.

So they're basically using Patreon as a loophole to get around their promise of no microtransactions?

 

[Suit]

It's actually ridiculous how quickly we've gone from "No microtransactions!" when people pointed out this was likely the case with their always online bs, to now openly admitting "Season passes and more!". It would be funny if not for the fact I actually supported this patreon for a while. I wouldn't be surprised if their next post is how they're adding unique NFT based outfits and cosmetics!

Just posting this since I think it's funny, but they disabled the search. Too easy to call them out on past bullshit about the no monetization stuff I guess. For more context, this is a long time supporter trying to search for posts from a mod. I also can't search anymore.

No they haven't. Discord search is just broken right now. This is affecting everything from your friend chats to servers.

Takes like 5 seconds to test for yourself before making stuff up.

I've seen a lot of good premises for games ruin themselves with this retarded 'games as a service' shit, but never a porn-game.

Ahh, my bad. I legit have nothing else on discord beyond snooping their channel.

There's both a stamina meter for the player and for each girl. If th eplayer runs out of stamina they can keep playing, but get no currency. As the girl loses stamina your options with her reduce. At weary nothing really changes, then the next one stops all non penetrative actions, and finally you can't start anything if the girl runs out of stamina.

Basically this beta is time gates upon time gates.

Uh. The girl's stamina timer resets if you leave and repeat the pose. I've honestly repeated poses up to 3-4 times and it just got weary, then reset itself.

I have so many questions lol.

What is going with the Closed Beta? Seeing a lot of negative posts here but I would like to try it on my own. Is there still a way to get into the Closed Beta now or is it really closed? And if so, how much do you have to pledge? I hope not 37$ to test a game for the devs...

Obvously the version here on F95 is quite old but is it somewhat similiar to the closed beta or nearly completely different?

 

[taboge9459]

Mods are setting up their own Patreon pages now. If you guys wanna pledge.

You do have to pay, still keys available afaik. Takes about 2 days for the key to get to you after you pledge the correct tier. I'd hold off though, it's still largely unplayable in the online version as once anyone starts joining the server you're in performance will die.

As for the offline mode, the old 0.34 version here has more than the new versions since some scenes were either left out or removed.

Remember what I said about creatives (this is about creatives, right? Animators and modellers? Not a fucking discord mod?) Yeah scratch that. What the flying fuck is that.

LMAO. A dev that has not delivered a single game. Has put their previous project (original fallen doll) onhold. Now has the the audacity to not only ask for more money on Patreon but also to heavily monetize unfinished vertical slice / proof of concept.
And that vertical slice still doesn't have 1/3 (technically more due to its complexity) of what it supposed to have - a campaign mode.

 

[taboge9459]

Yeah actually it seems even worse than that. The artists are getting paid by Helius afaik and you can probably google them, but not even linking their patreons in there is kinda slimy.

[Nguyen Viet Thai]

lmao, Helius are now using the paywall method, which lock content behind paywall to force people to pay if they want to see more content lol, this kind of tactic is decade old already, no gacha game now using this kind of monetisation.

They want to make this game a full-on online game like gacha game to keep the flow of money, literally so they doesn't need to design a new game after complete this game, they just season pass here and there, dlc, etc.......to grab money lol

The gallery mode is free to play as in you purchase the game and got to play for "free" or the entire game is free to play?
