Is there a release date?
I remember in 2021 when they said this game would come out Q1 2022 or something like that, what happened?

yeah its a scam at this point, looks like they perfer the pay per month deal.

I thought so but what a shame. This game could become huge and these devs would probably have a legacy and become a big deal in this genre but now I doubt anyone that is aware of what happened with this game will give them a second chance, righfully so tbh. Well, I hope they change their minds and release it eventually.

I have access to the closed beta and it's not just greed, other than having very good 3d artists (or buying high quality assets at least) these guys just outright aren't good devs.

They seem to have been trying but they simply aren't capable of getting a project like this to the point where it's more than an animation viewer.

Not to mention their project management skills... having to restart the project ~4 times now and swapping direction to a forced multiplayer F2P model? It's pretty nuts. The amount of work completely wasted must be insane.

The only thing they have going for them is the fact that buying high quality assets and jamming them into an engine like UE4 can make for some decent screenshots and teaser videos.

Yeah man but look, at this point they should just bite the bullet and release the game. It's a hentai game, most players just want to masturbate to it it doesn't even need gameplay at all not to mention that a game like this cannot be properly advertised so there's no point in making it's gameplay too complex or deep. Like I said they're losing good faith from anyone that was expecting this game to get released they could have released it or at least given a release date and then started working on a sequel or another game that had more depth to it. I've heard somewhere that this game was being developed under another name for almost a decade now how can you expect people to believe in you when you're always delaying? There are people that are literally paying for this monthly for years now.

That's true to extent but for two issues; one is that they want to go F2P so they can sell battlepasses (lol) and earn money on microtransactions, the other is that it has zero gameplay.

Obviously the primary draw on titles like this is the adult content but without a gameplay loop players will burn through that and get bored very quickly. Especially since their implementing Denuvo precludes the possibility of mods like you'd expect in Illusion titles.

This game, in the current closed beta, mitigates their lack of a gameplay loop by gating content with daily quests and a multiplayer system where you have to collect likes to get rolls to open lootboxes...

The problem is since they obviously have no gameplay loop this equates to "play x animation y times," or (to collect likes) "afk in this lobby until people hit like x times." This is necessary to unlock animations, which is going to take you months of logging in every day to get them all, so it's not skippable without paying more money to accelerate unlocking content that you already paid for.

Now should they just scrap all of this nonsense and release the base game as an animation viewer? Sure, but it wouldn't be very good and it would get old fast. What they really should have done, and is probably too late for them to do now, is kept to their initial concept and made an adult game with a vague gameplay loop that unlocks the adult content as users progress in some kind of single player story.

Realistically though it doesn't look like this game is actually going to launch. If it does it's got a hard online requirement so if you buy stuff in it then you'll lose it all the moment they turn the servers off due to it not doing very well.

Honestly yeah I feel the same yeah, the initial description of their original idea of a rougelike sounds intriguing and I was interested.

If this game ever releases I’ll probably just get a key for it after a year or two

They could make way more and build a legacy by releasing it but yeah, lazy ♥♥♥♥♥ lol

A modding community would do a better job with the game then these devs. They don't know how to develop a game, simple as that.
