Operation Lovecraft: Fallen Doll Closed Beta

Operation Lovecraft: Fallen Doll Closed Beta

Galatea...
After seeing the email about the new Galatea and planned character release order I see another about Steam and Patreon getting mad about her.

I then look at the photo and... Why is it that after the rework that was supposed to make her look more like a petite young adult she now looks younger and more like a kid then she has ever looked in that screenshot?

This is the opposite direction you were supposed to go in in order to resolve her issue or bring us a petite non-Asian character.

Is this just another excuse to continue finding ways to delay her and baiting because that violates Patreon's rules (https://support.patreon.com/hc/en-us/articles/360050731532-Creator-is-not-delivering-benefits) since this does not fall under development paths can change and fits more under a habitual clear bait and switch abuse. If she isn't fixed and the next released character I would not be surprised if you are permanently banned from both Patreon and Steam. After all, there are a lot of nuances to digest here and a rather substantial paper trail to define intent based on what we see transpire with this character going forward in the near future.

I wish I didn't have to make this post but this has become such a norm and expected result that I am.

Yeah, seems unlikely steam is gonna approve the new design given what they have not been allowing for years now. Gotta agree with this entire post unfortunately.

:steamsad:
its nice to see that you guys start to see the pattern of helius it is like you wrote just a simple excuse to milk the patreons for months again, and believe me he knows clearly that the majority of his patreons wants Galatea more then any other char.

Dont forget to drop your pledges this is the only language he understands.

No bro haha just trust me she is going to be in game this time 100% haha please sub for another year again haha you don't want to miss it haha bro please give me some money haha
That part about the purposeful delay went through my head while I was on my way home tonight, nice to see it in thoughtful writing though. I disagree though maybe it is a cultural thing but I saw the new render and indeed to me it looked like an adult.

Ahh this...I wish PH would just drop this character entirely and the rabid fanbase that desire her. It's going to be the death knell of this game (aside from the pseudo beasty content). I mean, Alet is passable but Gal is just leaning too much to one side that most sensible people are not going to adhere to. I think the email roll out and Patreon post was either a tactical nuke, or a really dumb move. It's probably quite easy to amend her looks, but seems like she's a pawn in the cash cow milking stakes.

THE SAGA CONTINUES...

Nothing wrong with having petite characters in a game Marie Rose from Dead or Alive is a perfect example but what was showed in the post will never get approved by Steam if the previous version of her was not approved.

This post was made back in 2020 btw.

Also noticed they hid the post they made about the monthly polls coming back that had the new Galatea picture so you can no longer view or reply to it.

My guess is they were going to present the new design to Steam and then again say "Hey we are having issues getting the character approved by Steam" If you are waiting for this character I'd advise waiting until she is actually in the game before re subbing. They've been trying to get her approved for the last 3-4 years which is crazy.

Marie Rose still looks 18+ though, just flat chested. Every Galatea image I've seen looks younger. Given that DOA games don't feature sexual content, she can sit comfortably in that game. But this game has a massive sexual slant and those beasties. So having Marie Rose in this game is going to look somewhat weird to some people. There's petite, then there's too young looking.

Yes, I find it strange that when Helius determined and asked the community if they were okay with making her taller and more adult looking to help her get approved, and we all said yes, he proceeds to make her look the youngest she has ever looked in that Patreon post, instead.

It seems obvious that the intent was to find an excuse to have her delayed to continue baiting with her instead of doing what we were promised, making a more adult scaled petite woman. His total lack of silence is especially telling.

I disagree. Alet has an even younger face than Galatea. Cover her body from shoulders down. What do you think? Big boobs don't make you older. I don't know where you live but The older Galatea's body type is pretty common in the US in some areas where obesity rates aren't out of control. The same is true for the face, at least up until around 28-29 where it often starts to age more rapidly (and even then not always). The newer one though...

Like Rushasu mentioned, there were actually Patreon posts that Helius made of the older Galatea version but he deleted them to hide them while giving a contradictory statement about her approval a while back. Somehow we went from that version to... this version.

I think the issue is Steam not Helius. He mentioned just two days ago that everything is complete with Gala and didn't want to lose all that work put into it, but this issue with Steam is on-going. There's also the fact that, wrong move made here and the whole game gets destroyed due to reasons. So be careful what you wish for. A lot of these rabid Gala fans aren't looking at the bigger picture.

And...

"Big boobs don't make you older."

Well, they do in the eyes of Steam and that's the hurdle to overcome.

its not steam dude, they allow lolis in other games

only now we receive poses that were teased 4 YEARS AGO on the official twitter
ive even lost an outfit ive purchased with ingame money
this entire game is a patreon scam, and helios will ban you on their discord if you ask anything about it
the more people wait for her, the longer it will take, until helios notices that they are actually leaving

Um, that recent post on Patreon, was more than just Anime Loli. It was an obvious UA looking girl. And given the nature of this game, I completely understand Steam's reasoning. But let people up in arms over this cause the end of this game. Devs gotta play ball with the powers that be.

I've also found (with my Youtube especially) is that the argument that, "well so and so has this without issue" just doesn't wash with the eyes that are monitoring these things.

Those people are on proper PWR trips.

Steam relies on community feedback to make decisions, communities tend to create these collective mosh pits where all it takes is one voice to set off everyone else and like any other savage tribe around a carcass they wont let go until they are pretty sure whatever they harpooned is dead, or they get bored, or something off the two. I just disagree, the first thing that came to mind was a stubby girl aged 19-25 so we need to consider intention not hallucinatory assertions by half wits in the so called "community" of concerned customers or whatever. release Galatea, I will gladly purchase her research pass and wear it like a badge of honour.

Kind of odd to me how many people here are so salty that they wont be able to see aliens bang a child. I know she's not a child lore wise, but if you're attracted to that, you're a pedo.

Don't hold back brother.

I know 100% I won't be featuring any videos on my channel with this character. Give me gargantuan boobs over this any day of the weak.
