I think by "perfectionism", they mean that Helius legit has an aversion to optimization. I remember a while back Helius said that he wasn't going to add any LOD meshes, because they look bad. Like... bruh, there's a reason LOD meshes are needed, you can't just not include them because they "look bad". I knew the moment he said that, harem mode was going to run like shit.

That same line of thinking is probably why the harem mode manages texture memory so poorly. Helius probably has every single character model using 8k textures no matter how far they are from the camera.

I have the game on Steam, but I haven't even bothered trying the update, considering they're apparently still having server issues (with less than 500 players), haven't improved performance by any meaningful amount, and implemented invasive new DRM. I don't have a problem with Denuvo on AAA titles, but considering how shady Helius is, that new Denuvo protection could be hiding something malicious in the executable. I ain't risking that.

I am with you on the first part about the optimization.
But claiming "something malicious" in the exe ist just Bonkers imo.

i had the opportunity to play the current build and tbh, idk why they took more than a year to do the current build, it just contains a new girl and a bunch of new poses, and a new map where monsters/aliens r not allowed, wich is basically why this game is so known, so yeah, and im not a random, im currently studing game development, so im not a completly random who dosnt knows anything about making a game, also i follow a guy whos called Matt and its currently making a NSFW game with an awesome gameplay and its a 1 army guy, and every 2 weeks he brings a new build with a bunch of new things so that makes me think, why a full team of devs cant make more progres???
Yeah it's going to be interesting watching the Steam forums shift from "why doesn't my game work" to "what the fuck, is this 14 months worth of work?"

Apparently they're bringing it back up later today so will be one to watch:
Project Helius — Today at 06:51
@Updates whew, basically done. The regression test went well, we will launch the second round of stress test for the public later today.
I also love that they're calling it a stress test now. We meant to do that, totally intentional guys! Nothing to see here!

Holy fucking shit regardless if they're making this shit up or not, you don't need "public stress test" anymore nowadays. If you can chuck money into paying for Denuvo you can afford a fucking server stress test tool. He's just making up excuses for damage control. Either way if your game can't handle a few hundreds people being logged in its not an issue with stress testing the server, you're paying for a dogshit server if not ran by a hamster powered server in his house.

I'm pretty sure he is talking about Project Extermination. It's just a solo dev and they post on Twitter often of their progress on the game and the quantity and quality for a single person is super impressive, unlike the trash heap we have here.

Scamlius just announced another "stress test" round instead making the gale live again like he announced yesterday.

This is beyond comedy, the guy is really good at making excuses to grind another 24h of not giving what he promised 14 months ago to his customers.

Yeah, it's pretty sad. 2 months worth of progress in 14 months, and that's being generous. And even that doesn't work.

I hope no one is genuinely shocked about the delays. If you are, you should ask yourself why all of these 'critical' game-breaking bugs only surfaced when the devs released a build to soothe the rising dissenters instead of in the prior months of testing. Additionally, if you're one of the backers who are aware of this and go 'well I'll show them, I'll drop my pledge down to the minimum amount until we have real progress' instead of outright dropping support, then you are nothing more but a cuck and deserve to be separated from your money.

Remember the number 1 rule of international trade: Don't buy steel from the Chinese. The same rule applies to kickstarted H games.

imagine having a game that is so unoptimized that is almost running well at best, then u you think somehow adding denuvo to it would be a good idea, its really weird how bad the game runs since there is not much going on. its really sad since i thought at first this game was going some where, but the person who is in charge seems to have a lot of skill issues and refuses to communicate about any of the problems.

Keep supporting him for the next 5 years he will surely change his mind and listen to you guys and stop scamming FOR SURE
You joke, but if you ever manage to get a glimpse into their discord its a sorry sight. It could be used as a textbook example for the existence of anime brainrot; any and all mistakes are instantly forgiven as long as they release a new concept art of a vapourware waifu to distract
