it's a damn shame that people keep throwing money at scammers, which in turn promotes scamming, which in turn degrades the quality of the content we get to pay for, you fucking gullible buffoon
I've missed the part where i defended throwing money at this game. I couldn't care less about the drama of the whole scam, which couldn't be said about you, since you've dedicated quite some time to make numerous posts in this thread. If you're upset about the devs, don't blame me, i have nothing to do with that. What i've meant is that, from the standpoint of someone who knows that this is a scam, and won't pay, we probably won't ever see anything new, or anything worthwhile. Next time try to interpret a text properly, before lashing out at somebody.

I thought the same thing about the visuals and content, back in early 2022 that is...
The problem, as I see it right now, is not the quality of the content, but rather the stagnation and their focus (from what I've read around here) on game mechanics more fitting on mobile games (cooldowns and energy/fatigue systems), a grindy way to get content and so on.

I get they wanna make money, that's fine, this isn't a charity, but when you stop developing content and add in-game stores, and (arguably predatory) mechanics even though the promised story mode hasn't seen the light of day (afaik) that's a pretty bad move. They're literally delivering updates that make the experience worse and add very little to it. I for one don't feel very keen to give them money now, even if the content is good.

Best way to get money is to have a finished, delivered, polished and good product (marketing hype trains aside) or at least a track record of delivering what people want and constantly updating the game without going rogue, and right now they've got neither imo. I faintly recall that at some point all the criticism reached them and they just brushed it off, banned people from their discord and basically said they know better. Guess we'll see how that goes when the money runs out.
In the end, the good quality of the content ended up serving as a bait for people to spend a lot of money on a project that is never going to be what people paid for. But for me, the content was good enough for me to stick around, and wait for a cracked newer version. However, since the denuvo (or some icky DRM) implementation, i guess even that is not possible anymore.

Kaepora gaebora wording strikes again.

DRM is the least of concerns here or at leadt for me; betraying expectations was the downfall of this lovecraftian project, it's pretty much pointless to pay for it or even work (or wait) on a crack...
Honestly a crack should be possible technically. Denuvo is nothing new and has been cracked before, not to mention that this particular dev doesn't have the same resources (in terms of actual programmers signed on) as many companies that slap Denuvo onto their game, so there may be holes in the net. Of course it remains a question of if someone with the expertise to crack it will actually dedicate some time to do it out of the kindness of their heart (or as a big middle finger to the developer).

Excuse me, but in that case I've no clue wtf this is supposed to mean.
Ok i admit i've expressed myself badly, english is not my native language so there's that. I've meant that, because of DRM, it will be harder for us, who hate scamlius but appreciate the game in any way, to have access to a newer build of the game, without paying for it. Even if it sucks, i would like to see (for free) some extra animations or character, or whatnot.

True, but I guess the debate is if its even worth it to try to crack this mess in the first place. I would say yes, but again, i'm not the one doing all the work for free.

Anyone have an issue with setting the resolution? Trying to set it to the 4k res for my tv but it enlarges the game screen too far like it can't respect the actual resolution dimensions.

I own the game and I would argue not at the moment. There isn't really a sufficiently meaningful difference between the current build and 0.4.9, even presuming you stripped out the grind all you really gain from the new version is a few short looped striptease/masturbation animations (the latter of which doesn't even have a climax) and a new character.

The new build also seems to look quite a bit worse. That might be a welcome change for those who were having framerate issues in 0.4.9 mind you, as might the inclusion of DLSS.

There isn't really anything else of note in the new build unless a different map or the ability to sit at a bar and press W to sip a drink really makes a difference for you.

Thanks for clarifying what the actual differences are. It's probably true then, it'll be worth it when there's actually something to look forward to... It's a shame things turned out this way.

Can anyone tell me how to run the game? I am stuck at kirito laucher "Launching" or could not load save. The instruction in the first page seems confusing to me sadly.

That's true, I got the game as well and I will say 0.4.9 is a better version playing it. When 0.7.0 released I still go back to 0.4.9 because 0.7.0 is just a broken build. Right now the game is just not wroth to crack consider how broken it is.

I finally redeemed my steam key from the Patreon when i supported it 2 years ago, why is there a battlepass? Are they really expecting people to sit there and grind out porn? I'm liking the animations and stuff, but not a huge amount seems to have changed since 0.49. New girl is great, tanned tomboy is always a good fit, as are her outfits and animations. I'm just incredibly confused about why the game is doing what it is.

Basically they were half arsing development to milk Patreon but you can't keep that up indefinitely and this game had been on Patreon since Patreon launched (2016). Time was running out and in order to keep that steady revenue coming in, whilst minimizing the actual work required, they decided changing to a live service model was the best solution.

The plan seems to have been to launch a F2P then every 3 months or so add a character model and animation set and boom, you've got a game you can milk for an extra few years getting $x every quarter. If you've got a good framework for your game, development of which was kindly funded by Patreon no less, this is a pretty profitable solution.

Issue is they massively misjudged both the demand for a multiplayer porn game and their ability to execute it. What we have as a result is a game that once upon a time had ~1.5k players logging in when it dropped on Steam now struggling to hit 200 players weeks after the first update in 14 months:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
The funny thing is that in this time they could probably have wrapped up development of Fallen Doll (under the build they now call Origins), sold it on Steam to a wider market for tens of thousands of sales at ~$20 and then gone back to Patreon to develop Paralogue.

Instead they've done another few "rebuilds" and all they have to show for it is a game that has precisely zero hope of ever maintaining the kind of player count or conversion rates you need for a F2P to be profitable. It is one of the most spectacularly mismanaged projects I have ever seen. Really funny to watch though.
