So noone cared about this amilova crap, so they decided to extend the QA

[jpanda]

I actually like the idea, just 1) am not here for that sort of art (e.g. it's the equivalent of them saying "here's a cookbook kickstarter" or "here's a new sandwhich kickstarter") and 2) really dont trust the company at this point.  I wish them well though.

FAQ about Amilova What first inspired you to create Amilova back in 2010? My flatmate and business partner at the time had been working on a side project, a weird fansite about Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Multiverse, and it blew up. There were like 50 million users, translation in 30 languages, and I thought this was awesome, so we started to think about Amilova from there, a sort of legal version of scantrad sites. We started in 2012 because our business model was a bit bad at first. We wanted to send physical books of those digital comics, but it couldn't work, so we had to think about other ways to make money to pay the artists. Why bring Amilova back now in 2025 after the pause? Now we have a certain understanding of how to make games (we're far from perfect, but we're working on it), and we think that our games and that digital content can mesh well together. Nobody's doing that, so we think it's our time. What problem do you think Amilova solves for creators and fans? Money is first. AI has killed a lot of artists. Most artists like to create stuff, be it comic books or something else, so we think video games can be a way for them to express themselves. For fans, it's about getting more of what you like already. You describe Amilova as “freedom = creativity”, what does that mean to you? Maybe I'm a bit of a fanatic, but I hate political correctness. I think we should have the right or even the duty to create all kinds of stuff and not be shackled by our conservative society, as long as we stay in a safe place where nobody is physically hurt IRL, everything should be possible. So we need to have that freedom to create anything. But it's gonna be challenging, now we're talking to banks, they say "oh, there's going to be boobs, it's scandalous, we can't do that !", it's annoying. Which platforms or companies influenced Amilova’s concept the most? 20 years ago, One Manga was the first manga platform, then Mangafox, and... nothing much ground-breaking since then. How can someone with no coding skills create games or comics on Amilova? There's an editor that we will make available for everyone, which will be the start, and after that, it's all about creating a community of creators. What does “your IP, your rules” really mean in practice? It's kinda like YouTube, if you want to make other content with your creation, you should have the right to supervise anything that comes out about it. You need to keep control of your ideas. How does the remix system with auto-royalties work? It's based on what you have on YouTube or TikTok; you can like and interact with the content and artists. If you like an IP on Amilova, you could support the creator in multiple ways. That's something we need to define. We don't have all the answers yet, we want to take risks, do something crazy, that's why I'm talking to investors. What makes Amilova fairer for creators compared to other platforms like Webtoon or Tapas? Revenue share, we want to go something like YouTube once again, where people who like some artist's work can help him with visibility or money. How will Amilova handle AI art and protect human creators? We'll answer in 2027. Right now, we're selecting artists, so we know them. At the beginning, there won't be AI. Not all AI is bad, but it needs to be a tool, not the whole creation process. -

 

 

• What kind of games and comics will players find on Amilova at launch? We're working on reworking the engine for the games that you know have better visuals, more interesting. Right now, our technology is light, which has some advantages, but it can't do everything that we want. How can fans support their favorite creators on the platform? When it will be really working, we want something like Twitch, where you can tip or subscribe to the creators and get some digital goodies. How does Amilova balance freedom of expression with keeping the platform safe? We're going to split between SFW Amilova.com and NSFW Kinkoid.com What makes the community layer (comments, polls, events) different from other platforms? No idea, it's too early. Why did you decide to launch Amilova through Kickstarter? It's proof of traction to show that we have a community interested in the project. How will the funding from this campaign be used? Hire a few developers and work on the roadmap. What’s the plan after Kickstarter - how will Amilova scale? It will depend on the full funding. It's complicated times with wars, recession, the world is too conservative, so we'll have to fight for it. How do you make sure quality stays high as the platform grows? Editorial content and support the artists as much as we can, having a solid base of creators that will inspire others. Why is Amilova launching as invite-only at first instead of being open to everyone? To ensure quality is high from the beginning. What’s your personal dream for Amilova in 5 - 10 years? Follow the Roblox example, where creators can live off their creations. -

 

Player questions about Amilova Will the Amilova site get a revamp? It looks so 2000 Yeah, it's vintage, but of course, there's another platform coming; it will be more modern. Can we upload assets so others can use them without actually uploading a story/comic/manga? Like background images and characters? Not yet, later on. When the project reaches its goal, will the ability to create your own story of the game Harem Heroes be available for every player or not? Every survey about this that we did in the past, people were not interested much, but we'll see as Amilova progresses. Since Amilova's Kickstarter is now fully funded (congratulations!), will this have any impact on any of the Haremverse games? No direct effect, and there will be a promo code to celebrate. But when the platforms are launched, yes, we will have effects. We'll continue developing the games that you know and love, we will experiment with new things, always keeping you in the loop with surveys and Q&A sessions, and we have a lot of ideas. We're so proud that the Kickstarter campaign has been funded, but that's only the first step. Player questions about HH Why do you guys keep adding so many new features to the game? The game has changed a lot since the beginning. Is there a possibility to slow down the release, or perhaps the possibility of a slim version of the game, more similar to the og version? Some people don't like change, others say it's stale and leave because of it, so we have to keep improving the game. When can we expect the first QoL features that were announced to be released? I think one or two weeks. We are planning to have a lot of them released by the end of the year Do you guys have to add all new features, or is there perhaps a way to skip a few that players do not appreciate at all, like, for example, the club league? We add the features that are upvoted in the surveys; some of the features are divisive, but we need to dig into what people don't like and find a way to bring them in. But some features we have to do because some players will love it. If we keep the game as they are, people will leave and games will die. 90% of features in surveys are not released. Can we get skins for other poses, not just the 1st one? Most people don´t use the 1st pose, so the skins, especially if we get several for the same girl, are wasted if all are for the same pose. Maybe we can ask in the next surveys, if people are interested, and we have to see how much manpower it will take. Since the game is supposed to go into an RPG direction, will we ever be able to craft gear for our MC or our girls? Only relying on RNG is incredibly dissatisfying, especially if you spend a lot of time and resources and never get the missing piece you´re looking for. Not impossible, it's a classic. Some people have suggested a community event in the past (maybe for the next anniversary) where the community gets to vote for girls for an event, or maybe the whole month ..I think people would like it, and it would be cool to involve the whole community in it to make it feel special ( maybe we can get a survey for girls we would like to see as alts, 5 star version or mythic for that month ..either to freely suggest or pick from a pre set list so that it´s easier for you guys) Sounds great. We will make it happen. Can more care be taken to ensure quality control to prevent wrong skintones, hair colors, or anatomy seeming off between alts? We always try to do our best. We want to have the best art possible, so don't hesitate to report content bugs. -

 

 

Player questions about HH Parallel Adventures Can we check the other PA choices? We're stuck in our choices and can't see what's going on in the other routes. Can we have a cameo event with the PA girls? Your choices matter, and the path you chose is yours. For now, it's not possible, but it's not completely absurd; we'll think about it. One of the biggest points that players had on the PA is that we can not select other options after finishing the story, and since it affects the story, that is not good. Can the developers finally fix that so we can see other options' outcomes? Yes, you cannot select other options after finishing the story because you've already made your choice. Again, this is not a bug; it is the intent. So choose wisely Will we see the PA of the other characters, such as Bunny's Mom, who talks about her past as a recruiter, or some other characters, such as Lupa, Breno, An Lee, Devin, Alban, etc? Other famous characters will start appearing in the PA pretty soon (as soon as the next world, perhaps). Player questions about GH Can we please have the missing Epic Pachinko exclusive counters? The content team is aware. We hope we can update you on that. A recent error in GH caused Anatoly to be animated when he shouldn't have been (with his animated pose displaying on the wrong guy). This was fixed, and the correct animation was made. However, there have been some requests in GH since Anatoly's animation was already created in error. Can it be added to Anatoly, who currently displays without an animated pose? We will talk with the content team. Luna will keep you updated. Is there any way to give GH counters to the Parallel Adventure girls? Like actual counters, not just event alts? For now, there is no plan for that. Player questions about TPSH When will we get the temporary places of power? It's in the pipeline; it will happen. Player questions about CxH Will we see CxH get its second Mythic Day Revival coming back at some point? If it is something that players want, we can add the second mythic revival back Is there a plan to keep it fair compared to HH in the long run? I will see with the team. It's been a rough few years; we had to restructure a lot of things in the company. We were 3 main partners, no, we're 2 since June, but now we see things more clearly, so we will keep innovating, it's a new era for the studio, very exciting, things will happen quickly. With the recent review, channel girl clearly being a Marvel parody, is there any plan to close Comix Harem for good? No, actually, the Nutaku version of Comix Harem will soon be released on Steam. -

 

 

General player questions Should mythic characters appear in love raids? What are the benefits of it? No, they shouldn't; they are kept for mythic revivals. Is it possible to go back to the previous format for Seasonal-type Mega Events and remove the Mega Pass? It feels like too much to expect the 15k price tag on top of the Event cards to now unlock an extra guy/girl you could previously get on the free track. No, it's not possible. The Seasonal was the worst-performing mega event, but now with the changes, it is more up to par with the rest. The game is getting slower and slower everywhere when you get a lot of recruits (around 2000+, so mainly HH/GH for now), bringing a lot of discomfort to your oldest, more dedicated players through 10-second actions, frequent “403 Forbidden” errors, and general annoyance. Could you please make the game more stable before adding new features? The tech team is aware of the problem and is working on it. Do you have plans to stop the thinning of the player base on every game and/or bring new players in? The price of advertising has really risen after COVID, but it may be easier when all our games are grouped on a single platform.

Maybe he should read my last post on this, You can't choose wisely if you didn't put the option in correctly.
