Tay623 bro, you're coming off as extremely desperate for this "game".

At this poin there's an overabundance of information pointing out that 1. This is an ongoing scam, with Scamlius focused on monetization and 2. We can't expect anything really good, including but not limited to a Steam release.

"Gallery" was dropped after voyeur mode introduction.

Cracking this is unlikely due to both the effort needed, lack of interest from the cracking scene and the questionable state of the game.

Last but not least, even owning whatever this is, is not worth the investment since you still have to do some f2p stupid grind after paying for access. UNLESS you are absolutely crazy for Scamlius and his multiplayer fap gallery, just sit back and laugh like most reasonable gentlemen do here.
The only desperate people here are the one still complaining about the state of the game or about what was said/promised long ago. The reality is different: the game is a GaaS, they want you to log in every day and not just to fap, they want you to work towards unlocking content through gameplay, it's as simple as that.

Now, either you're fine with it and you buy it (it's 35 bucks plus taxes, one-time purchase), or you're not fine with it and you don't fekkin' buy it. Period.

Personally, I bought it for what it is and I'm enjoying it. Quality is there, content is there (at least for me, I'm new). Communication and transparency are not, but Idgaf.

I've been seriously fekked in the ass in the past by "legit games" made by renowned AAA companies and for way more money. This is nothing.

So, folks, if you're like me, take my advice: stop complaining (700 pages of nothing but that in here) and treat yourselves to some good p0rn. Or don't. Either way it's fine and ultimately no one cares, really...it took me a while to understand this simple yet profound truth. I hope you have a good day!

I wonder if Project helius are they actually watching those over 700 pages and they will change their minds?
They don't give a rat's ass about paying customers. What makes you think they're going to care what sailors of the seven seas say?

Just watched the videos...I had no clue this is so serious. This is literally jail time material...
Even bigger shock is this game's position on Steam...
15K patreons...
They should change the name to Operation Amway or Operation SBF or...Operation cough*cough*cough*Epstein*cough*cough*cough*...

Mind you, they come here from time to time to preemptively ban usernames and/or try to counter the negative trend. One of their yes men told us my username was banned there when I don't even have a Discord user under this alias :KEK:

It's not that serious, that guy was seriously stretching by the time he got to that third video.

Like I'm 100% no fan of Helius, he's an incompetent dev and 95% of this project is just spit and tape holding together some purchased assets, but there's nothing to suggest there is or has ever been any such content in that Discord. Suggesting that they just don't moderate a channel is irresponsible but to equate it to explicitly permitting or encouraging child pornography is reprehensible clickbaiting by that YouTuber.

Right you're.

Normally i dont show up here anymore because all one can find is useless bickerung of butthurt ex-fanboys....

But since i was browsing the site anyway, i would like to give my 2 cents to that thing.

If you would shut down all sites on the internet that had cp posted on them by some idiot, the internet you know, wouldnt exist anymore. (that could actually be a good thing but thats not the point ,) )

Google, Bing, Instagramm, Facebook, Twitter, you name it, any imageboard any pornsite with upload content, any site with picture upload abillity will have had at some point in time some cp uploaded to them.

Google and bing were even the biggest sharer of cp at one point in time due to their unfiltered image searches....
also probably due to the fact that a lot of what is now illegal was legal around 20 years ago in regards of just nudity or posing.

That is just a fact.

Most sites have now upload filters installed and im sure Discord has something like that too.

As we are now in the dawn of AI CG a new challenge has arisen and upload filters that are based on hashes arent up to the task anymore and site will have to resort to ai filters themself... but those have to be trained themselve of course that will take time.
So there is bound to get some shit on your site, channel, board, chat, etc. that has to be cleared by mods.


Its pure malice and an lousy attempt at gaining clicks to spew filthy acusations of mass and wanted cp on any moderated discord channel, as all involved would incriminate themself.

If there were such a filthy thing going on mass and not moderated, im sure that Discord and authorities would/will take care of it.


Another example of the bullshit level of these vids, is his basis for proof that this a scam, which is also total bullshit.

His source is a butthurt translator, that claimed that there were no further text to translate so therefor there cant be further development progress, he isnt aware of.

That is complete bullshit!

Translations are more or less the last thing you do in game development and are not needed for any programming development stage.
The only input a game dev team might consider are technical issues like text boxes not big enough for text for example or if something doesent really makes sense in a language.

Most Game Studios just send excel files to professional translation services and then those texts get maybe some testing so is something isnt really fitting in the game context when translated purely text base things need fixing and talking.

So the translator source is therefor nothing but a butthurt fanboy that seeks revenge. As are most haters here that have spent more than they should have on this dumbster fire and have now buyers regret or are simps that just cant let loose.

Not that i wanna defend the Dev, the development is flawed and more of an amusement disaster to watch at this point.

But if something has less quality than project lovecraft, its those yt vids.



As for scam thing there is something like gamedevelopment hell and some games have very famously suffered from it and never delivered what was promised or teased. There really is no shortage of that but so is no shortage in sight of what fanboys dream up they get when they buy into these things and in what time frame and of course no risk of failing comes to their minds.

That said for the around 30 bucks one has to pay, everyone can decide themself if that is too much or not by buying into it or not. Noone has a gun at his temple and is pressured to pay more for this animation gallery and anyone that is paying for content that doesent exists and then is butthurt and cant let go that it doesent see the light of day should probably think about his own choices.

nuff said.

I will just add to this that this doesn't take much time these days. I can train a simple CNN based classifier with >99% accuracy and virtually 0% false negative rate in a few minutes on a single workstation. Data prep is a little bit more involved to eliminate biases but it barely counts as a challenge if your main concern is identifying a single class.

Sites have accordingly been using this approach over (or more accurately in combination with) hashes for years. There is an issue with adversarial networks trained to mask images and mess with classification, see the University of Chicago's Nightshade as an example, but that's a whole different ball game.

I think this is a little disingenuous as well, not everybody paid for an animation gallery. The game was originally advertised as something completely different and even now any user that visits the Steam store page certainly isn't going to be expecting a F2P animation viewer from descriptions like this:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
There are all sorts of mentions littered about for features they don't have, aren't developing or have removed. It's hardly surprising that there are a lot of salty backers especially combined with the piss poor development and project management standards.

Holysmith, why people here so serious?
Users on this thread like to express different opinions on how they view the game.
This thread has offered me more enjoyment and entertainment than this "game" could have ever hoped to. Is there a Patrion to keep this going?
well if you find that the opinions of others amuses you, i am happy for you. :) Everyone tends to think differently on how they view a game.

Here is their patron page.
