I've lost 3 hours of my life never to get back reading every single post, I've tried the game, there's little to no content, i also agree the paywall is a bit shady and well I personally can't afford it with the outbreak going on, this isn't a place for philosophical crap to be held. I'm sure the dev has heard your opinions, we should just move on, and let this game take it's course, and see where it has landed in a year or 2 from now.

One of the biggest Maybes of this website. But same problem as with Kronos :
At this point, the amount of paywalled content is shady more then anything else. This is mainly a pirate website, its niceand good for your business that you advertise your game here, whichmany people already realized. They also realized that you prolly wont get much out of it if you paywall everything. O hwell, everything has been said, if it releases ill check it out, but i prolly wont.

After reading through the thread, now i am more curious, seeing all that was said. Sadly the free content is...Meh i guess? there are a total of 10 scenes only and well the rest, obvious. Still wondering how the paywall ones are. But so far, i mean, the thread says the rest. Did read than it can be bypass and such, but obviously not that good with cheat engine anyways.
Interresting, i wasnt willing to read the entire thread, how does one bypass? where was it said?

AT LEAST NOT BY HOLDING DOWN SHIFT KEY FOR SURE. You need to be able to understand .NET language and then you take dnSpy or CheatEngine or both and look around the methods. Search for common stuff like "unlock" "scene" "locked". If the game shows you an error message try search for the string parts in dnSpy. You can make it easier with CheatEngine because you can add breakpoints in the methods to see if they are called when you try to access the scene. If the debugger breaks you know you're at the right spot. I haven't written down all steps and it was several weeks ago, so I dont remember the exact steps. It was done "on the fly". In worst case the developers monitor this forum and started to obfuscate it already.
My personal recommendation is to not deal with it. The game is not worth it, the content is awful, terribly animated. Contains lots of bugs and the dev is more interested into turning this into a cash cow somehow rather to create good art. I did this only because i was bored and challenged when I saw the "protection" and I know that most of the time these things still exist in the app, because I did the same with SinVR or how the fuck the VR porn game was called which forced you to pay per girl and per scene on monthly basis because the developers are sh*** a**holes. Took me half a day to skip the login check and received access to all scenes.
I find this ridiculous. There are patron creators which have zero "protection" in it and don't take actions against piracy. And they still make $15,000 per month. Good art don't need antipiracy to get paid, period.
Recent study in the EU actually shows that piracy works as advertisement of sorts as not only does it not hinder sales, it actually boosts it. A lot of people use piracy as a way to try the game, before buying it.

You are not wrong...Kinda a good point actually. Bet this has been more common now a days after how predatory some companies can be like SOME triple A company i wont name.

Me *Comes to the thread, read some comments*
Guys... GUYS... Can we please stop slamming this project because of its paywall and focus on how crappy it really is to the point it doesn't even deserve this much attention in the first place? I mean 90% of the stuff mentioned here is just about "shady paywall" yes, we get it, we agree but the actual matter is, even the free stuff in here shows us how bad it is, how slow it is, we need to provide feedback regarding these aspects so the dev can do something about it to make it better! Well, judging by the current outlook based on the financial concerns, it would be a miracle I bet, but we still have do our duty, our part as a community to further the H-games into future by making them worthy, not degrading them without constructive feedback...

wouldn't be necessary if companies made proper demos. the last good demo i played was prey 2017 which got the entire intro and like 2 hours of actual open ended gameplay out of me before i decided to buy the game. amazing game, btw
Read the first 5-6 tabs of comments, everyone has told this creator how to make his product better, the creator is willingly ignoring everyones input on how to improve himself, he just doesnt seem to care, so everyone else just sticks to what is actually the problem, which is the paywall, and i agree with them its crap. But again, to each there own. Ive said my piece before, ill leave it be now
I dont know why i keep checking this post every update expecting it to be better lul

I ask myself the same question and in short, I mainly am watching this for comedic value now. We all have tried our best to express proper suggestions to make the game appear better to the Public and they didn't listen. Anyone else doing the same lol?

Who are you kidding?
You just come here to read the funny comments, just like everyone else.
The comments are the best thing about the game.
Ahh, I saw the name and was thinking this might have something to do with the Codex Elera book series. Oh well. Good luck with your game.
nvm, just googled to make sure I was remembering right and its Codex Alera, and the book series is by Jim Butcher, great read by the by.
