most of those creatures won't be coming without a redesign along with galetia
I'm not so familiar with steams policies, but I heard from someone that the reason the monsters have... Such tame genitals is because steam policy forces them to have human sized penises. If this is true, I wonder how they're gonna get the horse in there.

But they did show 'horse restraint devices' with poses in dev updates a few months ago.

We'll see what we get my mid/late this year with their early access.

No, i simply disagree. Whatever the animations are old or "new" the girls need to have about even amount of total animations else someone is gonna be upset.
You think the girls need to have the same amount of animations. That logic worked before they added the Ghast and the Byakhee. I'd be fine if all the girls get the same quantity of animations each update, at least if they introduce new monsters give them some animations with them.
I already gave you the reason why Anya gets the most animations now. Why are you assuming Anya will end up with most by the end of beta?
Because I think you're mistaken, and if by the end of the beta Anya has the most animations you'll see I was right. I hope that I'm wrong though. Also it's just math: if every new update has almost 50% more things added for Anya vs Alet, in time Anya will have more.
If you are right that Alet has the most fans then do you think Helius just wants to piss off largest portion of his fans?
Almost half of the steam discussion threads are in Chinese, but I don't understand chinese so I don't know if they prefer Anya or not. That aside: I suspect the total wealth of the Anya fans far outweighs the wealth of the Alet fans. It's all about money for Helius anyways.
Finally if you are upset that Alet does not get new animations then i have bad news for you - once we get new girls the old ones will probably not get any new animations.
That sounds terrible but it seems like something that will happen, just looking at the awful direction this game is going in.
Kind of funny that the monsters I remember voting for will most likely not be used in animations with any of the current characters, what an absolute waste of money :KEK:

Yes. Have you read the comments in the patreon posts and steam forums since the online mode released? Helius doesn't give a fuck. Pay the man.
I can't believe i need to be explaining this. But pissing off people because he wants to make more money is one thing. Pissing off people because he makes most animations for unpopular character is another. One thing for sure he is not an idiot.

That is certainly not true. Subverse is a thing and the monsters certainly don't have human sized dicks.

The hound got in so i think that the creatures are already different enough from their animal bases. No they are simply holding back the animations - for what reason ? Money probably .

I don't think you should extrapolate based on two or three instances. I'm pretty sure Anya is not Chinese favorite, so the only option would be some big whales being her fans.
As for Ghast being Anya favored - i think that they needed more Anya animations and they wanted to add more Ghast animations at the same time. With time they should port them to other girls.
I would expect that to be trend - new girl+new monster while rest needs to wait.

True I forgot about Subverse.

I was also thinking the same about the new monster+ new girl coincidence, but that's just speculation.

I am disappointed in ghast then because his penis and animations don't really match how brutal he looks. Hopefully they go for more aggressive stuff with that character in the future.

I humbly apologize for my assumptions, I suppose I'm just used to most other people using words to mean what most other people generally use them to mean.
So I'd like to try to get past this misunderstanding.

The phrases "well developed" and "well optimized" are used rather interchangeably in game forums like these. It is true that they are not quite the same thing but they are very similar. With "well developed" and if actually used to mean its literal form, we would be saying that a game has been well created in it's functional, visual and usable aspects. Which is what you are saying you meant here, however you are saying it has no relation to the more literal interpretation of "well optimized."

In it's more literal interpretation, "well optimized" would be referring just to the games ability to run smoothly and, mostly, glitch free across the majority of platforms. Since you are stating that you had no intention of referring to this specifically but instead the former, more specifically just the visual aspect, I think I need you to elaborate on something for me.

Why would you bring up other player's "shitty computers" if all you care about is how "well developed" the game is and not how "well optimized" the game is?
I mean, I'm really quite confused here. Why would you think it was bold of me to assume the intention of your words when they go contradictory to your explanation just now. If the game is well developed but is also poorly optimized, then wouldn't it make sense that it isn't everyone else's "shitty computers" but instead a problem with the lack of optimization passes to ensure that it should work on most systems? The only conclusion I could come to was that you are assuming that the game is not only "well developed" but also "well optimized" since you go out of your way to point out that the only reason people complain here is because they have bad computers.

Please do help me understand where my logic went wrong, I'm at a loss really.

Does anyone know if harem mode works offline?
No clue. It'd really be helpful if there was a thread on the game with about a hundred pages discussing the shittiness of the online-only harem mode and the efforts to turn it into an offline harem mode. That would probably answer the question.

Because that's not my experience. I run the game just fine, even online with 8+ member lobby at 1440p. Yes framerate does go down with that many people, but this isn't an FPS shooter.

So yea, sorry I can't empathize with those people who were complaining about playing a slide show or not even being able to get the game up and running. I don't mind PH optimizing the game for more FPS, I just hope it doesn't come at the expense of graphical fidelity.

Well, that seems to be a bit more of a reasonable response. So I'll just say two things.

Firstly, I just wanted to add that the performance issues aren't exactly linked to poor hardware. Some users with the bare minimum system specs can get a stable 30-40 fps while others with beefy i7-i9 paired with rtx 3090 cards (and your AMD equivalent) have struggled to maintain 20fps.
Although you may currently run things alright with your comp, after the "major system overhaul" is pushed out, you may be in the unfortunate group of people that can't run the game well anymore.

Second, since you didn't seem to like the idea of the graphics getting downgraded later on, I'd like to point out that it's likely that they will. Since the dev team doesn't seem to want to properly add quality settings, it is likely that the graphics will continue to get downgraded in harem mode to satisfy the average user.
Good to note however, there are ways to mitigate this to an extent. So long as people keep posting and updating guides on steam, you should be able to boost the quality above whatever level they decide to lower it to.

So, just keep this stuff in mind while you support them and partake in the beta. I'm not going to try to tell you not to support them or spend your money, I'd just rather have you aware of the situation and how you might actually fix some of the problems the game may have.

even my overclocked i9-10900k with 3080 cant maintain stable 50 fps, spikes are too frequent

Mindflayer is old and doesn't work in newer versions and no one knows if it will be updated or not. Sooner or later you will want to update your game to get the new animations and stuff and won't be able to play with everything unlocked anymore. So you are better playing the game legit way from the beginning.


Really don't need to download everything seperately.
Download from OP, it already has crack applied and mindflayer included.
You also don't need to delete FallenDollLauncher file because you won't be using it anyway.


That screenshot means Mindflayer is not working. If you still have no certifications when you search for "ProjectHelius" you either did something wrong or your anti-virus is blocking Mindflayer. Disable it completely, go to where Mindflayer.Desktop.exe is and there should be a certificate file, delete it.
Now run Mindflayer.Desktop.exe while anti-virus is still disabled, accept warnings and you should see Mindflayer in the right side of main menu instead of connection error like in your screenshot. If it still doesn't work run Mindflayer.Desktop.exe as admin.
Thanks, I actually did that and it worked great.
Harem mode is definitely a let down though, lots of clipping, audio breaks randomly, textures load in slowly and it needs to reload actor textures with each new scene. The gallery mode definitely feels better to use and the new outfits are great but it sucks they are trying to focus on this new multiplayer mode so much.

Compared to poses in 0.46 8 poses were already available in 0.34 and 14 are new. So it seams they count the new scenes correctly.
What does "Dr.Anya: Herdsman's Daydream" outfit look like?

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.
You might have missed something but Porn has it's beginning "as a service" ;)
And virtually everything in the Porn/Sex Industry is a Service even up to the movement it can be.

It was rather surprising to see this from moving from Porn to other areas than to Porn itself.

So to not expect this in Porn Games (Interactive Media) that will be rather the exception, than the Standard.

I managed to get it to work. Reinstalled OS. Was on Windows 7. Installed clean Windows 10, re-downloaded fezroad's 4.5 operation crackdoll version and followed Quaestoran guide. Harem mode is real shit though :). Low textures on High settings, scenes are not even close to be as polished as in 0.34.
So that's what causes it, you need windows 10 to mindflayer to work. Thanks for the info.
