0.40 Beta Test Q&A

I have been reading the comments and emails and feel it's my responsibility to address some frequently asked questions and shed more light on the progress.


Q: Why prolong the test cycle from March/April to June?

A: One developer in our team works for Mihoyo, and the recent leakage incidents of Genshin Impact have severely impacted his working schedule. This also prompted us the importance of proper penetration testing to ensure better user info protection and development environment safety. We hold your privacy dearly and a security breach will be devastating, that's why we are not taking the beta test lightly before well prepared.


Q: Do I have to play with another player in a group scene?

A: No, as I have explained in an earlier post. You have the full control over how to set the scene up in the map just like in the classic mode, and you may decide every actor's action in your scene. You will see other player's scenes and there'll be synergies if two scenes are played adjacently (such as the girls holding hands to combine two scenes into a foursome), but ultimately one player does not interfere with another directly. Giving likes, learning a pose and hiding another player is pretty much all you can do to each other. Imagine the Gathering Hub in Monster Hunter World, but more lewd.


Q: What if I want to play as a female character?

A: Dr.Anya has the weirdest assortment of assistants...you may even play as a futanari. If you would like to choose a female character (including the heroines) as your avatar for the free roam (yes, you can just walk around the map and take in the scenery without directly engaging in sexual intercourse. The image I attached in this post is the second floor of Archimedes Orbital Station, there's an elevator in the middle which you may take to visit other floors.) you are free to do so, and we also provide the cult sisters of the Church to select from if you feel like to play as a female (or a futa).


Q: (A question asked in comments of this post) Will you continue to give us costume packs until the beta launches?

A: Yes, I personally hate to receive financial support and can't give rewards of equal value. That's also why we are converting your history pledges into in-game currencies when the harem mode goes live.


Q: Why not continue making intermediary updates? The outfit bundles are not something I can play right now.

A: I totally understand. As it stands, the major overhaul to the sex mechanism means that any work we do based on the current framework will be in vain when 2.0 drops. The reason we announced that there will be only four intermediary updates (0.31-0.34) is that we planned to finish the new framework during that time and the progress is indeed adhering to the schedule. It's already pretty exhausting to build the new system with our limited manpower and separating resources on a soon to be expired antique may inevitably put off the arriving of 2.0, causing even more effort wasted on the old framework since more intermediary builds are needed as the wait drags on. It's undoubtedly a painful decision to make.


Q: Don't keep us in dark. Any other stuff you have been brewing in secrecy?

A: I intended to keep those for future dev diaries but since you want total transparency here are some keywords:

The list may grow longer, but it's beneficial to both me and you that I keep some small surprises :3


Q: (A question asked in comments of this post) Ultimately what are the plans for the original concepted material such as Erotes Nightclub?

A: Darn it, that's part of what I meant by the "small surprise". 😂
Yes Erotes nightclub is coming back, expanded and renovated, as a selectable map.

0.40 Beta Test Q&A

Comments

Thank you for sharing the updates! Looking forward to the future of this project, enjoy what we have so far. One thing I would like to know is if anything else will come of the Fallen Doll game? I know that Operation Lovecraft is your main thrust (heheheh) but I did enjoy the idea presented in FD of building the franchise of a strip club. Also, I second the idea of anything bdsm added in, would love to see more of the category if possible. Last question, will you be adding any male to male or male to futa scenes? I know this is not your focus so far, but just curious if there are any plans in this dept. Thanks again for the post, stay well!

Odis B_Mac

Can you add any bdsm or bondage gear/scenes to the game?

James

So we will not get the steam key this month?

bob

If you played as a female, would she get a strap or something to be able to do all the sex scenes as the male character? That would be pretty cool imo, if you could do the whole game as any of the three (male/female/futa)

Meganechan

Hey so when you say that we will be able to play as a futanari character. Do you mean an actual futa? As in both a pussy and a dick? Or are we talking a transsexual character? IMO a futa should not have a sac or balls.

X-ray for inner movement viewing plz!

Sorry, I'm out. I thought patreon was monthly thing, and not anually

那看来原神真的打算改变计划了23333

I really don't want to play this game on Steam for obvious reasons. Will we be able to get the game directly from your website in the future like we do now?

Is https://www.projecthelius.com/ down? I can't access any of the tabs and it just says "Not Found".

When you say overhaul scenes will dialog ever be added? Speaking of campaign is dialog in sex scenes something that will happen when beta hits?

LiquidSnake

Your video card has an overlay you can use to record the screen. Nvidia's is called the GeForce Experience in-game overlay. I'm not sure what the AMD Radeon overlay is called.

Kittyboo

is there a way to record a short clip from the program (like the twitter clips)? Sometimes i wish i could view a short clip with my phone, and there's no way i can get the whole program to run on the phone for sure

Battleraizer

Might be a moot question, but are the new outfits version-backward-compatible? We may not have a new version of the game to play with, but some would enjoy seeing the new outfits in action, even on older skeletons/sex systems/etc. and give them a reason to boot up the game again. Well, more reason/s.

来帮忙的朋友而已😂

草,米哈游的员工还能来这里赚外快啊(笑哭)

would be nice for one of the female to have like a Bike shorts or short leggings? Any plans?

LolWhattfBBQ

6,真的假的,看来原神的角色有可能加入其中啊

我始终相信,你能够坚持做出一款真正3A级别的产品,不管是黄油还是其他的,我会耐心等待正式版本的那一天。请继续坚持LC的初衷(剧情赋予人物灵魂),坚持和用户沟通(即便他是个色情变态,哈哈),坚持一些可头痛的细节攻克(动态体液),也许你还需要1年?2年?没关系,等你和团队。

Take your time to bring out a good game. Don't let yourself force to release to early. We all have seen it for Cyberpunk 2077. They gave in and released it to early. It's way more harmfull than waiting a little bit longer. I develop with Unreal Engine and VR myself and like your work alot. This is a big project.

BlueEdgeCrazy

Ah good point. To be fair it hurts us most if contents we painstakingly make can only be accessible to a certain amount of players and that is definitely not the outcome we hope to achieve. We do plan to arrange reruns for the time limited outfits in the game as event rewards so new players can still have a way to acquire them.

Project Helius

in order to clarify the situation you could simply share your features/releases roadmap publicly (a picture is better than a long speech)

Hellix

I kind of disagree with time-limited exclusive rewards. You can say you're rewarding current pledgers, but you're basically just penalizing any player that picks up your game in the future by granting them incomplete value out of the game. I wouldn't mind it if there were other opportunities to obtain that content in the future, but making it available for a short time, to then become inaccessible seems like a FOMO attempt at some quick cash grab. I was lucky that I found out about the current rewards and I pledged, but my first reaction was to check to see if there were any before that I missed. I can tell you that if I found out that I no longer had access to a "complete" experience, I would just stop pledging and wait until someone provides a cracked version of the game with all the content I missed unlocked. I really do not think this is a step in the right direction.

ChupacabraGonzales

Just be realistic and say 2022 already... I'm mad at this point.

JulianCasanegras

I feel you, covid caused a shit ton of trouble to our work as well...

Project Helius

So Passerby tier cant have the future costume pack to claim? Im now an Onlooker but thinking of dropping to passerby since there wont be monthly release and also im kinda in a tight spot lately. Wanted to support the dev but its hard being horny and poor

Davis

XD then you got Bad luck with cyberpunk i played it too but online some minor Graphic Bugs are Happening like schadows disapear or no wall signs that was sometimes Funny to See and i played on series X

Chris-Karl Kade

No that's actually part of our original plan. It's just that we were unsure if some shy players may find it invasive. Probably will add that as an option tho.

Project Helius

Appreciate the feedback!

Project Helius

Hi, thank you for posting updates. I wanna send you feedback of ingame Japanese font. I think you've chosen Mincho style font for Japanese localization on 0.33- version, but in MY opinion, Mincho is very incomapatible with Sci-Fi featured game. I dunno how other Japanese players feel about that, but I prefer Noto Sans JP font or something like that for Operation Lovecraft. Thank you.

Roy Anatoly

竟然还能边做小黄油边为米哈游打工,看来制作原神的老司机们不简单啊

Looking forward to this game getting better.

Yixiao

理解更新研发时间长 但是希望每次更新的内容或是修复的东西也多一些

is there any chance for an option to actually play with other players? like maybe a 'friend list' system where only those on it can be interacted with directly? i just feel that its a wasted opportunity not to have an option open given the way that this is a full on online orgy, though i completely understand that it may require an overhaul to some parts of the game system

Quoting "Q: (A question asked in comments of this post) Will you continue to give us costume packs until the beta launches?" "A: Yes, I personally hate to receive financial support and can't give rewards of equal value. That's also why we are converting your history pledges into in-game currencies when the harem mode goes live. " That alone is tempting enough to increase my pledge. Gives the feeling our character has saving's already in there bank account from progress in the field or cult members contributing.

Thanks for the answers thats all i personally wanted to know <3

MR_JIBLETS

Heh, Genshin leaks affecting other games now. Never expected that. Tell him to help us bring Rosarias boobs back lol. He'll know what it means 🤣

Horsen

Thank you for the answers. I can't wait to see more of this game going forward. Out of curiosity, how is the actual gameplay development going?

Azurai

我还是比较关心核心的剧情和单人模式的开发进度,可以透露一下吗?你们最近似乎只在做后宫模式

哲诚 韦

如果因为新角色的问题,我个人有个建议,你们可以把她的身高和体型改得更接近成人而不是未成年少女,但是脸基本不变。我知道有点难度,但这是我能想到的最好方法了

哲诚 韦

目前为止还没啥问题,不过提交了galatea以后就不好说了...

Project Helius

wat, everybody and their mom knows of the leak now?😂

Project Helius

想问下Steam Early Access的事情进展还顺利吗?最近几篇文章都没有提到这个的样子😂

Afrieal

Yes

Project Helius

ok um this is actually really cool, but i wanted a quick yes or no question seeing how you guys dont have much manpower and are busy as is, oh also def work on things that will not delay release and not be in vein im ok with not getting new updates for a while if it means less work for you and more meaningful work for you guys, actual question: just to understand, am i basically able to play all of the game with any character available even the Super Hot Dr Anya or someone new like the priestess sister? of the main characters that is as am not sure if sister is one? (yes or no is def ok answer il fully understand based on that alone)

Izanagi

When can we expect Galatea? Just need alittle something to contain my hype haha.

Anonymous

Both!

Project Helius

Sorry if this was asked before but will there be Church of Starry Wisdom Cult Sisters scenes with the monsters or only Dreamer?

Gilver

What a small world. Mihoyo strikes again. Not even related to this game whatsoever. Those Genshin leaks are a meme that manages to find its way to other media.

emmI want to know how to download the game. have i miss any information?

Fair warning though the sketch art on Azreal Inc page on FB is not mine, its a friends but she does amazing work

All my work is displayed for free through Facebook Azrael Aki / Azreal Inc. Feel free to take a look, but for more revealing images I'll gladly send them to you

rNr #ZombieGang XAzrael

Feel free to send me an email at projecthshop@gmail.com with your portfolio or something😜

Dating Sim inc?

Puresol

Thanks for all the info. Can't wait for whats more to come! One thing I wish would get improved is the facial expressions from eyebrows, eyelids, lips sync with audio. Though it is probably a hard thing to do or get right I think it would greatly benefit the little things like personality with all of these characters you're going to introduce in the future.

onjah420

Shit, that's what i meant by the "small secrets"😂 Yes Erotes nightclub is coming back.

Project Helius

Ultimately what are the plans for the original concepted material such as Erotes Nightclub. Is this going to be integrated into the final game somewhere along the line or is the entire concept of what a good number of people were pulled into the game for to begin with just going to be scrapped for what feels like a 3/4 ratio of creatures to humanoids, which isn't everyone's cup of tea?

It is sure that longer delays are quite boring, but after all rome it is not made in 1 day. And thanks for translating it into French it’s super cool;)

nukacharlie

Very grateful for the updates!

havesomejoe

What 3 new monsters will be added (names)? I really want to know! So much hype! Thank you.

🤘😭🤘 im am both honored and humbled that such an awesome developer and team is working on this. I do cg/3d animations through Daz 3D Studios and i would love to help out by sending you some project designs. I make more characters than i can count and even more scenes and stages. If you ever want a helping hand (for free) id be more then happy to give it a shot 😜 no pun intended

rNr #ZombieGang XAzrael

Thank you for this information. As someone that works in the IT field and spends a lot of time working on data security for our clients, you definitely don't want to rush security testing with an online component. We've seen the results of data breaches too many times recently.

Zjoee

Yes, I hate to receive financial support and can't give rewards of equal value. That's also why we are converting history pledges into in-game currencies when the harem mode goes live.

Project Helius

Hey, I wanted to take the time to let you know how helpful these update posts are and how great you guys are doing with community management. So far you have been one of the most communicative developers I've ever seen, especially for such a niche title. Keep up the great work guys, I'm super excited to experience the open beta when it comes around!

Cole Carlin

Thank u for the transparency. I’m sure everyone appreciates it. One question tho, Will you continue to give us costume packs until the beta launches?

Xenith17

I can't be the only one who's wants to see the cult sisters as a "romance able" character.

Heh...penetration testing.... Jokes aside you’re just killing it man!! Keep up the good work!

PublicEnemy#1

Thank you for the update! I'll keep my pledge as is, btw, but I'd still prefer to check out some buggy alpha stuff, or whatever instead of just patiently waiting 😅

Gordon

May sound like a dumb question but is there going to be an update this month?

M

Can I take part in beta test?

Take as long as you need, I'd much rather have a polished game I can sink my time into and enjoy the fullest rather than a half finished buggy mess. And I've played cyberpunk XP
