Wait what? I didn't realize Illusion is RIP. FFFF
There goes the one company making simulators without relying on patreon. I bet Helius was happy like no other about it.

Rebranding... Correct me if I'm wrong but If they want to escape the debt they need to leave the IPs behind, that means they lose access to all assets that they have created in the past. They can't use them, they are owned by some bank or whomever was investing in them. They reused a lot from past games so that means the games/sims will be much smaller but also most probably studio neo is gone.
Another issue is financing, after doing what they did who is gonna invest in them ? I have the feeling they will be going crowdfunding route....
Somebody above mentioned that they seem to have the assets being reused in their new game, which seems legally iffy to me, but then I don't think anybody has actually confirmed the deal with the rebranding. Could easily have been that the business was sold as part of the bankruptcy, the new company purchased the rights to the engine and the presumably partially finished work that they're now finishing off and releasing under a new name.

All of the Illusion devs rebuilding in Unity or UE5 would have been pretty interesting though. I like their games but they are a little derivative now and that may also fix a lot of their issues with actor logic being heavily single threaded.

FYI Helius did mention the game will go the f2p route if gacha is implemented successfully... which makes the whole Denuvo saga even more brain damaged.

Taking anything that he says seriously is not a great idea though. Judging by his actions is a better bet, and it's not very promising so far imo...

I'll believe it when I see it.

Given the track record so far, I don't even know if i'll believe it if I see it.
I'd sooner think a skinwalker killed him and took over before I believe Helius did something cool for once.
Point taken. But at this point I'd take the skinwalker too. I don't care who does it at the end of the day, I just want this to actually get content updates again and stop being a mess...

From what I remember his idea for f2p was basically the current model minus the entry fee. So you would still have paid costumes, paid character packs, battle passes, paid currency, etc. Private servers and cheats would still be in demand even if it went f2p.

Don't even want to, just take a look at the posts on their Discord Server, the so-called "game" is an unoptimized mess, that makes you grind for hundreds of hours to unlock stuff in the most boring way possible. The game keeps constantly breaking, with visual glitches everywhere and takes way more Vram than many current AAA titles...
I'm not kidding about the way this game is structured, the Harem mode is the most boring shit you will ever find in a porn game. Unlock new stuff, will take hours and hours just for a new position, the game is being built upon the idea of making players pay for season passes in a similar way to most gacha or free-to-play games on the market, but without all the bells and whistles the big free to play games have.
So the entire thing feels like a broken chore... I wouldn't crack this game even if I could, or knew how to do it.
The most valuable resource people have on this planet is time, so even for a free game I wouldn't recommend people wasting their lives on a mess like this project.
In my opinion, all the money Patrons give to Helies could go to real developers that make good games, not deceiving crap like this.

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan I found out about this game like right now, and already got dissapointed :( hopefully they make the game playable and not as bad as you make it out to be

Imagine if they decide to continue to work on the first fallen doll instead of making new one with this all bullshit after.

When is this game ever coming out officially?
Never
It's a patreon scam made to milk as much money as they can.
And when the sub count will start to fall too low for Helius's tastes, he will shutdown the project and start a new one to raise his paypig numbers.
He already more or less confirmed it, i believe someone posted a snapshot of discord logs where he says that a few pages back.

Aw man that sucks!
I Discovered this game on Patreon the other day, and tried to find a pirated version everywhere, I even made an account on this site just for that. :(
Tried the cracked version and I liked it, but from the talks of y'all this game is in a development hell hotter than the Florida sun right now.
There is a tier on Patreon that mentions six season passes, how much each one will cost individually?

Do yourself (and everyone else) a favor and don't give them any money until they get their shit together. Right now it's just encouraging shitty behavior.

I don't think they've given out any information on pricing but from the closed beta the design of the battle passes is such that it is still incredibly painful to unlock anything even if you buy one for a character. Naturally they then sell in game currency and booster items etc.

So if this game actually releases, which admittedly it probably won't, don't go by the battle pass pricing but rather by the reviews and microtransaction pricing as this game is very heavily monetized now even for people that "purchased" it back when it wasn't such a shitshow.

You got the wrong idea partner, I was asking for the price just so I could put them all together and see the bigger picture, of how much this game would cost.

But a cracked version would solve all of this, wouldn't it? I downloaded the cracked version here and it looks fine if you play it for free.

To be honest the cracked version is a stable build. At least there are still methods to enjoy this game, sadly the game will never officially come out because the devs refuse to keep developing it.

Its not in development hell.
The development is purposefully bad so that they don't get too much drama when they'll axe the poject.
They're also actively making the game a chore to play, for example, next patch is going to make it even grindier than it was

But the cracked version here on this site has none of that.
From what I'm getting from y'all is that the head honcho of this game is making slow progress on purpose so he can make as much money as possible, or he is just greedy.
Let's say this game comes out one day, a crack would solve all these problems, wouldn't it? Cause it would unlock everything and we wouldn't have to spend a dime on season passes and the such, the cracked build on this site has everything unlocked from the get-go. And the game looks pretty as a peach.
