I still follow WL and think it's one (if not only) at least possible project. They are not that bad like PH tbh

Wild life has had a bit of feature creep, which is fairly understandable when a small project blows up a bit more than expected, and they've also decided against releasing their campaign piecemeal but they still make a lot of the content they're using for the campaign available in the editor and give frequent and detailed development updates which are even accessible to those who aren't currently subbed.

It's pretty much the epitome of how these crowd funded projects should be run. You know what's really fucked up though?

I know Helius' subs will drop like a rock in a month or so, presuming they don't get the update live just in time for the 1st to encourage users to resub, but based on historic trends it'll still rank higher than a genuine project which really makes me wonder how reliant Patreon is on users just forgetting their subs.

Just to really drive home the disparity, because I'm sad and I find this fascinating,

Not only does Helius give updates less frequently but the differences in detail are astounding. Just vaguely describing how everything has been released and is super duper hunkydory despite the game... not actually working. At all. Just a sneaky little "server maintenance ongoing" line added to the very bottom to suggest that none of it actually worked and everything is still offline several weeks later.

I assumed it was an outright scam for a while but Helius paying for Denuvo suggests otherwise, that is not cheap (or popular with gamers) so he really seems to think he has something worth dumping $10-25k per month into protecting. Similarly the online only requirement doesn't seem like the sort of thing you'd do if it was a pure Patreon scam where they conduct the bare minimum work and pander to subscribers to keep the money coming in.

I suppose the one caveat to that is that he may have convinced Denuvo not to charge until the game is "released," which would be in line with their standard terms:

If he never actually plans on releasing the game on Steam then perhaps it's all just a charade, but I think that explanation is hellishly convoluted.

The simpler explanation by far is that he's just an idiot that lied about his experience when starting the project and is essentially trying to put a full game together with a team of modders with no chain of command and nobody with any project management experience to take the reins. That would explain why they flip flop all over the place in terms of scope and direction, do alright with assets and animations but can't implement any even moderately complicated gameplay system or design ux worth a damn etc.

Hilarious project either way though. Almost worth the $36 just to watch it unravel in slow motion over the years.

$25,000 per month and $0.5 per activation, per

. Helius might have negotiated a lower payment, or he might be relying on the monthly fee only kicking in from the date of release on Steam, but given the reputational risk of being associated with a small time porn game with questionable crowd funding roots I can't imagine Denuvo were chomping at the bit for the business.

Here comes the fucking damage control. This is either a simps or some paid boycotters that Helius use the supporters money to pay for this stupid unreasonable arguments and this is what lure more people to get scam by this game. 1.PNG

It's these kind of people who twisted the truth and making Helius more cocky. Is this how dev is doing? trying to lay down the people who criticized the game because they waste money for many years for the game that can't even run.

Clearly he could use some of the rebound money to paid off this simps. Sounded a lot more like communist shit.

I refuse to believe these people are simps. No one is that naive or stupid to create threads like that. Even simps want something in return for their stupidity. These people just want to get fucked without anything in return. That's why I think they are paid in one way or another. Most likely for damage control.

Good point that's why I always feel sus when these damage control came. Especially now that he earned the money more than he lost last month. I wish I have more proof to say that he actually use supporters moeny for this stupid damage control

I remembered Helius has an account here and used to post in the old Fallen Doll thread.

Project Helius said:
Our publisher has been encouraging us to add Denuvo for quite a while but I don't really buy that shit. (Surprisingly, it's not that expensive. But it still feels wrong.)

btw, for those curious that why I stopped taking questions here: the op of this thread basically thinks I don't deserve any of his attention when I tried to speak with him, so I decided that I'd better put my attention elsewhere.

Denuvo is wrong and he has too much integrity to use it, what a cool guy.

What a problem add game in Steam? -_-
There are many products in (early access - for example- Carnal Instinct, She will Punish, Subverse. ...) that I bought to support the developers because I saw POTENTIAL in the product, I would not mind buying this game BUT not available for purchase (only DEMO version).. instead its inscription = WAIT someday -_- ... stupid(they write news about new versions, WHY??? If your product is not sold on the platform, what's the point?). If the developers are afraid that the game (They will steal it! I also consider it stupid), then what prevents them from adding protection to the STEAM version? I see no reason why the game is still not for sale ... The authors, on the contrary, would have received more money ... otherwise they only push away from themselves. I'm sure I'm not the only one who would buy it...
