Q&A with Rosso at April 12th 2024


Recommended Posts

Just for not being repetitive and asking for less events, would you be so kind to pass him this other question:

I miss from the old times the animation of the descending black shadow silouette of the girls when they dropped. Is there any possibility of recovering that effect again? Just having it in some parts of the game should be enough for me, for example, when you get a sure girl in events from completing daily missions, or in PoV, or Boss Bang. I really, really would be grateful if you recover that animation.

Can we ask about changing the Labyrinth from a girl meatgrinder to a version where we need less girls but our setup gets more important (more strategy), from a version where we are slaves to RNG with useful blessings to a more controlled enviorment. That could also reduce the time we need for this, which is disproportionate high.

When will girl stats in Labyrinth finally have the effect documented on the Labyrinth info page?

I understand that this is a balance shatter, and the more important it is to do and (let) test this ASAP on testing server. The actual code change should be more than trivial. This would contribute to @SamRei's suggestion as well, making tanks more tanky, and mages actual mages => more tactical options for skills in general. Indeed, instead of raising the difficulty to balance this, I would also prefer to have smaller squads instead, but that is a different question.

Here a short compilatin made from the notes @Darkyz_ took from the Q&A:

10 more spots for players in clubs ? This will be adressed (if I don't answer right now, we'll bring it to the team and review if it poses technical challenges and is a good thing, we'll get back to you)
More shards for Mythics (on GH) ? This will be adressed
Affection scenes without MC (on GH) ? Sure, we can try that
Who's the current writer on CxH ? He's doing a very good job Not sure exactly, but we'll tell them that they do an awesome job
Plans for Harem Messenger to return ? I'd like it to be redone and better, but we have so many other things to fix that it's low on the priority list Maybe we'll do something about the frame drops reduce it or change it, we'll see
New Adventure Theme in HH ? The content team is brainstorming currently It's going to happen, we started thinking about it because we saw that's there is a love for around 20 core girls and we want to show the new style of Avdenture (Quest V2) to more people, I like it a lot So the idea is to work on parallel adventures (on the model of what's done on PsH) with popular fanservicy characters, outside of the main adventure The team has already started working on something around Bunny, so it's coming out soon(ish)
Season Pass available to be paid with Paypal ? I don't understand why it would not be, I'll ask the tech team
GPSH : will there be more starting guys to boost income ? There was a project about that, I don't know why it was stopped, I'll check with the team. All games should have the same balance so we'll see it with the team
Clubs in GPsH/TPsH ? We open the clubs when there are enough players so they're not deserted, but if there's a hardcore base that demmands it, why not ?
PSH in German ? Not sure, professionally it costs a fortune, with fans it's hit-or-miss, they could give up after a few worlds
 
 
Update about the Harem sorting bug ? It's worked on For a lot of things about bugs, we need to come back with some clarity and tell you when it's been worked on
Next addition after Labyrinth ? We're working on animated affection scenes, not only with HH, but also for the PsH games, we have videos, so it could be super-cool
Inter-club PvP ? At some point maybe, it's part of a long list that needs to be prioritized People have been complaining that there are too much features already, so we need to be careful to not add too much, as it means more bugs, more updates, etc. while we want a more stable version
Could you review the koban cost of mythic books/gifts ? Are they bought ? Players buy them, so costs are ok from our point of view
How does the selection of girls happen ? Is there a review board for art quality ? We have a team internally managiung all freelancers we work with For a Mythic girl/guy, for example, there 6-10 people that work on it, it's very collaborative Writing --> Draft --> Inking --> Coloring --> Animation --> Implementation (admin, text, balancing)...
 
 
Do your artists use AI ? No, they don't use it and hate it. My opinion is I've yet to see something amazing with it, I've been interested in AI for 20 years, it comes back at regular intervals in the discussion, but it's just a trendy topic
Enhancing the social aspect of the game with Direct Messaging ? It's interesting, but it would be a lot of moderating to avoid spams, so complicated
Top rankings for all leagues ? There's been ideas about that, leagues have not been imporved much in many years, we'll see with the team what we can improve, maybe we should do a survey about that
Do some artists work on both GH/HH ? Yes
Age Verification System ? What a nightmare... It's a mess because countries are doing it separately, we're talking with a lot of people in the industry that talk with the law-makers. Nobody knows for real how to do it practically All I know at this stage is what is happening in France is not implemented yet, so... not a lot we can do or say yet 2nd artbook ? I'd love that, but it's so much work...
<lore question> ? I can't answer you or it becomes canon, what you're imagining is the reality of it, let's just say that for now
 
 
Could you please see with Game Design about not putting two girls from concurring events on the same vilain ? As it is right now for Mythic Revival and Legendary Days and it was the case several times on different games the past months On a related note, why giving up on the "girl on more than one vilain" feature ?
I get the point, we'll bring it to the team
Nutaku/Erogames merging soon ? More league brackets as a consequence ? So far, Nutak and Erogames are not answering concretely about the merge, as soon as we know, we'll tell you, but if there are more people, there will be more leagues
Changing position and size of the Waifu ? I understand the need, but it's complicated technically, we'll see (use HH++ script and you can do it)
Are all the girls bisexual ? A lot of them are
How many illustrators ? A lot, around 10-15 for each game
More champions ? We've been thinking about that, like the league they haven't been looked at for a while, so maybe
QoL survey ? Ok, we can do it
Futas in HH ? People want it, other people don't want it, so it's not easy to add them
TPsH/GPsH playerbase large enough for you ? It's a niche game, so I don't think it will grow to infinity and beyond, but we're ok with that
 
Labyrinth could evolve from a girl meatgrinder to a more strategic thing ? Labyrinth will still evolve, with roles now and more later, but don't hesitate to make detailed suggestions
Labyrinth girl stats ? We'll bring it to the team
More roles on Discord ? Luna can review suggestions
How you decide who will be the next Mythic ? We always try to do what will be the most fanservice thing that will blow your mind
Do you have a job section ? Yes, but not on Kinkoid, on our mainstream company
Cancel button for PoP ? Maybe, we'll see in the QoL survey
Enter Key bug ? Will be adressed
What about AI texting ? No, I don't believe in that, it lacks consistency, we're going to keep doing it as artisans manually We're working on mainstream games on the model of our current games but without the boobs and dicks We're also working on our first real mobile app, and idle RPG portrait game, one mainstream, one porn (hopefully in September) But fear not, we're not stopping what we're doing it's an expansion For the current games, we're going to focus on bug fixing, QoL... little by little, I know it's not very fast, I'm the first to regret it

Thanks much for sharing.

Lot of interesting stuff here as well as a lot of hand waving.

I left the one that made me laugh the most and the one I found most insightful in the quoted section.  You can decide for yourself which is which :)

PS UPDATE: As far as multiple girls on event, I was annoyed by this at first but then I discovered (or believe) that all the shards you get are for the "first" girl listed.  Which if they are going to implement it this way is less or more annoying depending on if the girl you want is first.  It'd be nice then to be able to pick and I think that'd solve the problem.  I like more girls available in general as do I imagine people who have collected less but it's the lack of control that is tough.

I guess they ignored my question about the affection scenes then?

Sounds like nothing will change here anymore which really sucks.

I may be too nub but I am not following your Q so if they didn't either that might be why it was ignored.

Did you forgot to ask this? 😭

They have picked some question that got posted and ignored a good amount of other questions. Don't know how it would decided what questions would be used.

This was asked, I made sure to share a screenshot of the 3 question here, but it looks like Darkyz missed the answer for your question.

Rosso claimed to have made that effect but it was eventually removed by the team as the game was updated over the years. He also said that he should have the team look into improving the effects when getting rewards like girls and other stuff.

Sounds great that Rosso  is finally thinking about this.

I am reminded of the effect every time I go to labyrinth and see the text getting absurdly big when doing a battle
