On Patreon it stated it been in work since 2016 wich is 6 years not a decade. Like i do get you point, that its smart of him to milk because if he release full game his revenue might drop. I blame Patreon aswell, but like many want the game to reach its potential. Lets be real tho many games specifically triple AAA games takes years or decade to release their game. Why cant this game? Especially when its several years ahead on graphics compared to adult games. Like sure milking is bad, but like its not like the creator is asking for your life earnings. Its like 30 bucks wich is little, many games cost like 50-70 usd. Wich date has Helius mentioned beside 2021-2022? Also what you mean by "rest of us know better" ? What do you and others know that we supporters dont know? Like many of here which iw seen are saying vague insulting comments to creator. Like you and hardcorecuddler seem to be atleast somewhat reasonable. Others just sound entitled to a game wich they might not even have supported. Like even come to discord randomly to insult. Have you played curent Gallery or Harem? Many said Harem is great. I feel like we said mostly what we wanted to say or you want to say something you missed or important. Think gonna end it or else seems we going in circle. Obviously its hostility towards Helius. Unfortunate event. Like i said just arrived, unfortunate if people feel milked. May karma come around. If he is decent person he release decent game with content he previewed if not maybe he get a lawsuit on him. Just wish they were more positive comments here, its kinda sad. Played many games with many nice people partaking in disccusing or answering comments in threads. Also its ironic the game has so many good reviews. Good game, lack content but many sour comments. Its kinda sad situation. Hopefully the game or another game meet people expecation. Think we all just wanna have a great game.
There's a game? What's the gameplay like? I thought the version in the op was the latest one. Did they finally added gameplay?

Sadly that didn't answer my question. OP also has harem mode, I'm asking if they added gameplay or is it still an animation viewer?

That is the furthest back their Patreon goes rather than development, did you not find it weird that their first post had a demo at version 1.06? ;) Not sure exactly how long it's actually been in development, although it is over 6 years, which is why I was a bit vague.

Lets be real tho many games specifically triple AAA games takes years or decade to release their game. Why cant this game? Especially when its several years ahead on graphics compared to adult games.
I would just note that being "ahead on graphics" isn't that much of an accomplishment, the assets certainly require more work to produce but mostly it's just a case of which system specs the developer is targeting. Most devs target lower end systems so they can appeal to a wider audience but a lot of smut games are starting to buck that trend now as a way to stand out among their peers.

I could put together a quick demo, and even include multiplayer, in UE5 and have it look on par with most AAA games just using their marketplace assets and stuff like MetaHumans. Bit more work for a smut game as you need functional genitalia and some additional physics systems but it's not boundary pushing stuff.

Like sure milking is bad, but like its not like the creator is asking for your life earnings. Its like 30 bucks wich is little, many games cost like 50-70 usd.

Is $36 a lot? No. Is it a lot for a game with a single map, a handful of animations you have to grind for and no gameplay systems other than walking around and positioning said animations? Yes.

The financier in me also compels me to highlight that $36 paid in 2016 is worth ~$45 now in real terms and probably >$50 by release even if they get it out in the next year.

In regard to what we know taboge9459 just posted a good summary of one aspect of the concerns, but there is a lot more. I would suggest reading through this thread (or at least a chunk of it) if you want to know more as the history is too convoluted to concisely detail.

As for the release dates they actually "released" the game at one point, without ever implementing the campaign mode or most of the promised features (so similar state to how it is now), then abandoned it and that build is no longer even available for download. That's why they have "origins" and "operation lovecraft" as distinct entities on their site. They're basically the same game and Helius just tried to reset the clock on development. Again if you trawl through this thread or their Patreon you will however find other examples of changed roadmaps, moved goalposts, missed promises etc.

Dont know, havent played harem mode yet. Just know you can move in harem mode. Im not sure what you mean by gameplay. Do you have youtube video as an example? I assume its not out of ordinary.

Does anybody know how to run this?? i tried running kirito etc but it just loads a blank screen
yea that's how you run it, if it doesn't work either your PC is too weak or you ran the official game already which messed things up that you need to fix

I would love to be able to write everything up in detail while citing everything, but hell that would take ages. There's thousands of words just to write on each month since probably October, and going back to get the citations is a huge pain with everything they've deleted and with everything remaining being split between patreon, discord, steam forums, wayback machine for some saving, and a few things archived here. Especially the smaller more inconsequential but still funny things. Like I remember Karb got banned from steam temporarily for his heavy handed moderating, but mention of that is buried back in the steam forums and I don't think you can see it on his profile anymore. Helius admitted he didn't like how his moderators were doing thigns but had no control over them on twitter. Pasix went neurotic for a while and would write up huge replies to threads before deleting everything. So on and so forth.

If anyone really wants to go back through everything left here and the other forums in can be a fun read, but the team pumps out scummy stuff on such a frequent basis it's hard to keep up, or continue to care.

and Furiousrawrr I hear you about not wanting toxicity, but the problem here is this project is poisoned from the top down. The lead and his community outreach are openly contemptuous to a large part of the community, to the point where they will actively sabotage their own game to spite them. 0.34 -> 0.4 is such a shock because it went from a stable enough tech demo and foundation to a barely functional pachinko machine just to try and spite the community he used to foster. And now that he's shot himself in the foot trying that and is struggling compared to where he once was of course people will want to laugh at him. Without the dev team trying to address anything from the past I'd expect there to be a lot of toxicity surrounding this game going forward.

Steam page states
" A roguelike strategy game featuring squad tactics and deck building "
have they added anything like this?
Roguelike probably not, but their is deck building is probably the several sex positions you get as shards wich is cool. Basiacly like loot box for positions. So i think me and others in open beta got like 50 positions wich is dope, can use it harem and gallery. I think you are referring to campaign if you mean combat ect. The answer is unfortunately no. That is not released yet. Think primary focus is Harem/Gallery. If i would guess campain it would be focused sometime later. Maybe 2023 or 2024 im not sure. Atleast not this year i believe.
