"A roguelike strategy game featuring squad tactics and deck building"
Are there any other games that fits this description? It doesn't have to be porn. The only one that comes to my mind is marvel's midnight suns but it isn't roguelike. I think I saw a few more games like that but I don't remember their names.

He said a lot of stuff, most recently async multiplayer or something as well? It's just nonsense buzzwords.
If Helius was capable of developing a competent gameplay loop he'd have done it back when the game was just Fallen Doll. He's struggling just to make an animation viewer, hell they used a fucking rest API as a network model for real-time multiplayer (no I will not let that die it's hilarious, even moreso given that they originally didn't even use TLS).
Well finally something, the performance did improve. It used to be about 80-90fps where now its 80 capped with gpu under 50%, so that should be 160fps without cap. clap clap from promised half year, took nearly 2 years.
My bet would be that with the rebuild they didn't actually focus on optimization, maybe laid some groundwork for it. They instead focused on the online aspect and drm. But when shit hit the fan in April they did start working on it. If you think about it that way than it took them just a bit over half year for the optimization part of "rebuild".
Helius lied too much and for too long for people to believe in his good intentions.

I wonder how that works. Based on the grapheon he is short 3k patrons compared to April.
If someone offers to make you a cake for 10$ but you instead only get a cupcake, is he a scammer ? Depends right ? if he was intending to make that cake but failed and only pulled cupcake with leftowers he is just a shit cook. But if he never intended to make the cake than he is a scammer.

I don't think it is roguelike or deck builder. I've played that game before, it is similar to xcom2.
who let him cook ? when the game is coming out ? , i need that patreon set to zero so he can burst his nut to release the game

I don't. When it comes to spending money I don't think with my dick.

Kind of says it all really when his definition of success is getting his patreon income back up

Voting with money is indeed the most powerful weapon. They are still one of the most successful projects on Patreon, topped almost all games here by a large margin. All the drama this year didn't seem to make a dent. The difference between their commercial success and reputation here is both astonishing and funny.
Perhaps pirates and all the people who are infuriated by mtx and drm are not their target audience from the very beginning.

You are presuming that most of those subscribers know what they are getting before they sub or are actively following development afterward.
I mean have you seen the Steam page for this game? It looks damned impressive, especially with the intro video and game descriptions that have literally nothing to do with the game. Then you go to the Patreon and won't see anything about the game moving completely online or them planning to release as a F2P. The only hint is that your pledge will be converted into in game currency but it says nothing about what that currency can be used for and the gacha mechanics aren't mentioned at all.
So I don't think the games "commercial success" is really related to some magical target demographic that love janky multiplayer animation viewers with gacha mechanics so much as it is the way in which Steam and Patreon combine to give a pretty fantastic platform for false advertising and repeat billing of poorly informed customers.
Wow, I realized that 'Fallen Doll' came out 5-6 years ago. Backthen it was so revolutionary game but now, it's just scam..
