Helius himself isn't bad, its the people he surrounds himself with. The moderators, the community manager etc , they're the toxic part. Its like you'd surround yourself with shitty friends and while you were mismanaging the project (constant direction changes, revamping existing features and the roadmap, always online and now especially Denuvo) those shitty friends make you look much, much worse. And you won't hear otherwise because you get banned. I know of several people Pasix (their CM) took a personal vendetta against.
I truly believe Helius is aiming to deliver SOMETHING in the future. I interacted with him personally many times both in 2020 an in 2022.

This is just another example of an overambitious indie project that was funded by enough thirsty degenerates into allowing them to spend thousands on Denuvo which make no mistake - it WILL be cracked. And then it just takes a networking engineer to fix up another server emu (it wasnt really). Shit, you could probably make that happen just using Fiddler.

Look at this project and you look at what happens when unqualified people try to run it into the ground. Do you think that however many thousands they spent on Denuvo is going to be worth it when its just going to be removed? Not to mention Denuvo bypasses exist. But anyway. Too long of a rant already.

If only people would stop paying in patreon. I paid for the minimum amount to get the steam key, and in retrospect even that was too much.

But as bad as project helius is, compared to most other patreon milker devs, he isn't that much worse. If you look how much progress in a year games like Wild life, VAM, Carnal Instinct, etc. have made in the year, it isn't really that impressive. Even if those games have had updates, it's been mostly filler content.

My point being, Yes, Project Helius bad. But moreover, paying for promises in Patreon even more bad. Early access is the cancer of game development and people have only themselves to blame for falling in the scam.
Yeah those games are painfully slow but I don't see Wild Life pushing Denuvo, battle passes, multiplayer, premium currency schemes, costume pack preorders, flagrantly lying about tons of things, etc etc. They have problems but Helius is on another level.

I agree, and I'm pretty strongly in favour of regulating crowd funding sites for this exact reason, but porn games are a particular niche that are otherwise unlikely to enjoy much funding.

The sort of small and even solo developers that pick it up also aren't liable to make particularly fast progress, frankly it's amazing that frameworks like those provided by UE/Unity have grown to the point where individual devs can churn out games like this at all.

That said I've never been much of a fan of VAM, perhaps it's the reliance on user generated content but it's always just struck me as being janky as fuck.

wonder what his response would be if he got punched in the face
then ran over by the other guy's car
repeatedly
over the course of a year
while he pays for it all
You've got to love that when trying to come up with examples of what this project has delivered they settle on animations and... ideas?

That's fantastic. Hey guys I've got an idea, picture this: The Elder Scrolls VI. That will be $50 please. For $60 I would be willing to chuck together some concept art in paint.

Apparently some Patrons are even starting to cry. From the Discord:

Anyone here still flushing money down the toilet and can share?
'Unnecessary toxicity' is a nice way to say "I saw the overwhelming number of 'tell us what's going on' 'I keep getting authentication errors' 'nobody can possibly think this isn't a scam anymore' posts but there were four, maybe five people being toxic and so all 498 comments are toxic"

Once you get into VirtAMate, no other sex game will give u the same freedom that game does. But u do need a good PC, especially a good CPU.
Honey Select 2 studio also provide alot of freedom and far easier to use than VAM and not very hardware demanding (altrought in a cost of visual quality)
