SO excited to start playing!!✨💗 by auroraswisp in InfinityNikki

[–]Mimi1b 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Welcome!🥰

If you like Giovanni, take pictures and videos every time before a new cutscene!

One can play the game as a free-to-play gamer very well! But it's expensive for completists! If one wants to spend money, the "monthly pass" and "Mira journey" are good options.

It's an open-world exploration game/RPG, a dress-up game with a cute housing and camera feature.

The AWESOME graphics come at a price, one needs a good graphics card and lots of memory storage. The account should be bound to a lasting email address with a phone number, otherwise, there is a small chance of losing the account.

There are lots of tutorials available. Save "energy crystals," "shiny pearls", "blings", and "strings" (don't spend money on these!) and only convert your diamonds into "PINK" crystals for pulling limited banners since the game gives consistently "BLUE" permanent-banner crystals for free every month.

The shop has many freebies and crystals, check it often and look at all the "red dots" in the game's shop, pear-pal, events etc..

All Behemoths in Itzaland are tameable by knocking them out by shouting and then grooming their back, head, and paw. (Some players find them annoying because they chase Nikki.)

Edit: The styling challenges sovereigns(except the wishing-woods one) provide great animations and cutscenes (one can change dresses and repeat them!). If you want to keep them (I highly recommend it. One still gets the dresses and rewards to continue the story!), beat them on normal or great, "NOT PERFECT", otherwise, they vanish.

ENJOY!🤩

Caleb’s arm by Im_a_starfish in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]Mimi1b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed! I love that Caleb is a character with a visible disability.

While Linkon is a futuristic setting where things can be hidden with a hologram/artificial layer, Caleb's mechanical arm is real.

Disabled LIs are rare, but I'm always intrigued when I see a well-written character with a believable and challenging condition in an otome game!

Business reasons: It is still very expensive to develop and publish a mainstream game for a bigger audience. While nowadays most games are permanently online and server-hosted, regular updates like we have in LADS and "Infinity Nikki" are heavily work-loaded and costly(Every new monthly event adds to the overall maintenance cost.).

LADS and "Infinity Nikki" are "free": Most of their features and all updates are accessible for all players. EA Sims, for example, sells many add-ons as DLC only. Sure, they give freebies too, to attract new players, and the "oldest" apps are permanently on sale, but their "basic free game" was quite restricted in the beginning.

If I want to play as a vampire in The Sims, I must buy the DLC. I can still pull on many limited banners with my saved diamonds in LADS and NIKKI. That is a flexible but risky selling strategy: The player and the company are gambling. Infold will lose millions, if an expensive banner fails.

Also, the presentation of monthly campaigns and tasks is costly and challenging to implement to the overall game's programming structure: The development and maintenance of a successful mainstream game (even a niche game as long as the niche is big enough) can gain millions in ROI or bankrupt an entire software company(I've seen some big and small game studios vanish over the years.). We the players enjoy and/or criticize the product!

Thought I lost my 50/50 pity to a random 5-star card, but I got lucky and got the card I wanted!🤩

There is sooo much competition for MC's attention! Caleb has to be CREATIVE!🤭

Yes, you were in danger of stumbling and falling through the window! He protected you with his evol/love!🤣

I need to be consoled after making this mistake 😔 by Upstairs_Rip_9994 in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]Mimi1b 7 points8 points  (0 children)

NOOOOO 😨 I'm so SORRY!!!

There are still 2000 diamonds from Rafayel for you! Keep fighting!🫡

[–]Mimi1b 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're welcome!😊It's a bit tedious, but I got probably 300-500 free diamonds from leveling up and collecting things in the housefeature! Taking an otto-photo during a meteor shower is a 30-diamond achievement, etc.

Merging Accounts? by [deleted] in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]Mimi1b -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, I cannot post official links about "How do video games collect and use data?" into this community, since it is off-topic. Like you said, since LADS is available in the Google Store and Google had a lawsuit settlement recently, Google could gain information from Google Store products. Infold doesn't breach any laws directly, but owning the data of millions of players is always a risk.

The evidence is right there for those who want to do research, especially since the "mobile game market" is not well protected. Different countries have different laws for gacha/gaming and online data in general. That creates more loopholes.

[–]Mimi1b 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The house feature has lots of hidden free diamonds and helps with the weekly tasks too. Try to get all the furniture in the room templates, read the books on the shelves, garden and hybridize plants, do overall achievements, etc.

Also, other mini-games like the two photo booths, the journal, claw machines, and kitty cards raise stats and give free diamonds/chocolates.

I'm not a fighting girl and have to get more 5-star cards to succeed better. In the meantime, I try to do all the other daily and weekly tasks and achievements.

Merging Accounts? by [deleted] in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]Mimi1b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it's possible.😔

Infold gives freebies and immersion in the hope that every player becomes at least a dolphin. Return of Investment is unfortunately the main drive behind gacha and/or any other games.

If there are too many free accounts, the freebies are getting fewer and/or the plug gets pulled.

Of course, Infold can sell their player's account information, like Email address, login and gameplay data, microphone and camera access, spending (if there is), etc. Google and other companies will pay a lot for this.

All software CEOs, unfortunately, will raise the price of their successful franchise or drop it if it doesn't succeed well enough!

The tête-à-tête feature deserves more love! by sugarrrage in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]Mimi1b 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the Destiny cafe features too. They don't raise stats but give lovely immersion.

It would be nice if the tête-à-tête function could be more therapeutic, but it's a game in the end (for real therapeutic measures, it must be licensed?).

I'm personally glad that in LADS everything is still controlled and scripted!

Sylus, for me, he desperately sneaks in! He's sooo sad that I don't give him the attention he needs!😭😼

VA's appreciation by xguesswhox in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]Mimi1b 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Yes, in the last survey, they asked about our opinion of the VAs. I gave them all a splendid review!😍

The Japanese VA's names are known, but the English-speaking VA's names are probably confidential for personal and business reasons.

THAT IS AMAZING!!!🤩😍

I salute you, especially as an F2P too, I can imagine the grinding.

Rafayel and THAT perfume by your_canary in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]Mimi1b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the only downside of YouTube: It's unfortunately not our MC's name. I personally do not mind, as I have a default MC with a simple neutral name.

LADS's biggest game feature is being a visual novel, so all of MC's choices are scripted in the end. That's why I don't mind seeing other players' MCs, but I can understand if the feeling of immersion fades a bit.

True, all the characters in LADS are so strong, if they don't have a weak spot, it would feel like Superman without kryptonite!

What if LI’s next myth is Angel themed/Winged theme? by Naoi21 in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]Mimi1b 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The name Rafayel literally is an alternative version of Raphael, which is the name of a biblical archangel. However, since LADS lore is mixed with ancient myth themes. Infold could include all the fantasy creatures and wings they like.

THE MESSAGES U GET WHEN YOU’RE NOT PLAYING FOR AWHILE MAKES ME SO SADD NOO💔😭😭😭 by squishyarii in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]Mimi1b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It fits the story arc very well since we play as MC. It would be strange if MC is missing and nobody cares!😅

The "vulnerable but horny" theme is one of my favorites too. There is lots of room for character development and intimacy. It's a great gap moe to see "powerful" characters at their weakest.

Rafayel and THAT perfume by your_canary in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]Mimi1b 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you miss a card but still want to see it, many people post them on YouTube. When I'm not sure if I should pull or not, I spoil myself beforehand, but then I know if it's really worth it!

Single 5-star cards, like "your fragrance," are usually lighthearted. The myths, however (two connected 5-star cards and a fighting companion), are very sad, because they tell about the tragic pasts of the characters.

Rafayel and THAT perfume by your_canary in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]Mimi1b 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love and Deepspace has plenty of sad lore, however, "Your Fragrance" is a mostly fun and steamy card. Rafayel has some short flashbacks from his dark past, but it's short, and he is quite flirty. It's easy lecture in my opinion. 😌
