Petition to Reconsider Valko's Cancellation
Dear Love and Deepspace Development Team,
@Love_Deepspace
First of all, thank you for listening to your community and for being willing to communicate with us so openly. We appreciate the effort and sincerity behind your letter.
However, we respectfully ask you to reconsider the decision to cancel Valko.
Many of us have been waiting for the sixth Love Interest for a very long time. From the very beginning of the game, there have been six Stellactrum colors, leading many players to believe that one day all six would become complete Love Interests. Valko's reveal wasn't just an announcement—it was the fulfillment of something we had been anticipating for a long time.
After seeing his trailer, learning about his personality, and catching glimpses of his role in the story, we became genuinely excited to meet him. We want to experience his journey, discover his story, and see how he grows alongside the other Love Interests. Please don't take that opportunity away from us.
We understand that some members of the community had concerns, and we respect that every player deserves to be heard. At the same time, we hope you will also hear the voices of those of us who were excited for Valko and wanted to welcome him into Linkon City.
We believe that the work already poured into his character by your writers, artists, animators, composers, voice actors, and developers deserves to be experienced rather than abandoned. Valko is more than just a new banner—he represents years of creativity, passion, and dedication from your team.
If necessary, we would rather wait longer for his release than lose him forever. Delaying his debut or adjusting future plans would be far easier to accept than cancelling him completely.
Please reconsider this decision. Let Valko's story be told. Let us meet the sixth Love Interest we have been waiting for, and allow Linkon City to continue growing with all of its planned characters.
Thank you for taking the time to read our message and for considering the feelings of every part of your community.
With respect,
The Players Who Still Believe in Valko
#BringBackValko
You're not listening at all to any of us. Valko was the only real GOOD thing we were getting and so many of us were so excited for him. I've been so excited to finally experience his story and you're taking him away from us instead of just communicating and addressing the actual issues. This is the most tone deaf and nonsensical step backwards imaginable.
None of us are asking you to continue to take things away and get our hopes up to help tearing them down like this.
@Love_Deepspace Why not keep Valko, up the rewards, commit to no more future LIs and actually releasing content for all 6 guys at a more regular pace including free content?
Questioning @Love_Deepspace’s CN Weibo Statement:
1. “The 6th LI is a part of Love and Deepspace’s Long-Term Content Roadmap”
➡️ Sylus and Caleb’s names appeared in-game before their release, and Papergames posted an official notice stating that these two characters would be future love interests, which made it easy for players to believe & accept that these two characters have always been a part of LADS’s long-term content roadmap.
To launch a brand-new love interest in a 2.5 year otome game with the bare minimum of foreshadowing makes players feel rightfully uneasy. Because what’s stopping you from releasing a 7th, 8th, or 9th LI with equally miniscule foreshadowing as part of your “long-term content roadmap”? It is very hard for players to believe that the focus of releasing these new LIs is to “create a more enduring experienc of long-term companionship,” when many players feel that you’re already struggling with the current love interests in your roster.
2. “We failed to adequately address everyone’s expectations regarding the production schedule going forward”
➡️ So WILL you be addressing our expectations going forward? You have shown that it’s possible for you to have a roundtable-esque communication platform with your players in your other games, but why won’t you have the same for LADS—a company that makes 19 million on a bad month?
3. “The main storyline that everyone has been looking forward to is already in full production. Far Space Fleet Colonel Caleb and Onychinus leader Sylus will continue their stories.”
➡️ Please look at #4 below to see why I laughed out loud.
4. “A new batch of male protagonists’s solar myth cards is set to debut soon.”
➡️ To translate these two points in simpler terms:
🏢: “Main story takes soooo much work to animate, and it doesn’t rake in any money, so let’s put it on the backburner for now. But myth cards…! Myth cards always make sooooo much money, and our game tends to top the IOS charts because everyone tries to spend more to rank it. And everyone loves to see LI lore right?! So… TA-DA! We’ve finished developing all 6 sets of myth cards for you already! Why aren’t you excited, Miss Hunter??
🐺Wolves rule the wilderness.
And these eyes will always remember the path they run—
