[All For Valko @allforvalko226]

To all the haters, moderates and hopium addicts,

Here I will provide a transparent, TECH based explanation regarding how difficult it would be to reimplement and add Valko back to the game even should PaperGames choose to do so.

Unfortunately, moderates and radical hopium addicts completely ignore facts. Some of them even claim to have tech experience and/or knowledge yet either willingly withhold the reality of such a task OR they ignore it.

That is intellectually disingenuous.

You deserve the truth.

You deserve to understand that success for reinstating Valko is more than Papergames flicking a switch or re-adding some files.

All you moderates who claim to have tech experience - read this, the following articles and prove me wrong or at least your own analysis.

💾 𝐓𝐄𝐂𝐇 𝐅𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐋𝐘 𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐈𝐎𝐍 💾

HERE are the intricacies behind such a complex process.

𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐚 𝐬𝐨𝐟𝐭𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞-𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞, 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫'𝐬 𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐭𝐬, 𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬, 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐠𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐬 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐛𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧.

At a 2025 Unite presentation, Papergames' engine lead, Tianlong Ruan, explained that the game was developed from Unity 2019 with extensive engine-source modifications and a custom Scriptable Render Pipeline (SRP).

The studio has also discussed its specialized systems for high-quality character rendering, lighting, and mobile optimization.

This matters because Valko is not simply an image or a 3D model stored in a folder. A fully implemented love interest is a collection of interconnected systems, resources, and gameplay definitions.

⬇️

Here is a breakdown behind a game such as LADS:

𝐋𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 𝟏 — 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐬 🗃️
Original models, animation projects, source code, scripts, configuration tables, audio recordings, and development history controlled by Papergames.

𝐋𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 𝟐 — 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 & 𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐭 𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐬 📦
Materials distributed to players' devices, such as compiled code, asset bundles, models, textures, animation data, and configuration references.

𝐋𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 𝟑 — 𝐑𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 📨
Downloadable resources and updated content catalogs delivered through remote infrastructure.

𝐋𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 𝟒 — 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐫-𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐠𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐬 🎮
Account progression, eligibility rules, purchase and reward records, event schedules, banner configuration, and other authoritative live-service data.

⬆️

Adding Valko as a fully functional character in LADS would be much more complex than uploading his 3D model, restoring deleted files, or adding his name to the game's database.

𝐇𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐦𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬, 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐛𝐚𝐭, 𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬, 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭 𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐚, 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐥𝐨𝐚𝐝𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞-𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬.

If those integrations have been removed or are no longer compatible with the current game due to updates and patches, restoring them could require months of coordinated engineering and production.

🚨 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐲 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐝𝐝 𝐡𝐢𝐦 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐢𝐧 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐟𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐨𝐟 𝐚 𝐬𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐨𝐫 𝐩𝐮𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐛𝐮𝐭𝐭𝐨𝐧. 🚨

People are unaware that before Valko was ever previewed or his trailer launched that he had been slowly added to the game via updates, patches and maintenance for months in small increments.

[All For Valko @allforvalko226]

The sheer hypocrisy and intellectual dishonesty surrounding these alleged claims of Valko being readded to the update is astounding - these people are truly hilarious.

As you will see, these people attacked me, organized a smear campaign, spread accusations that I’m AI or at least my writing is (despite video proof and occasional spelling mistakes which I had no time for proofreading replies due to the massive wave of spammed tags + alerts I was receiving opposed to now being able to actually formulate a long post), and resorted to personal insults simply because I refused to blindly accept their rumours as facts.

And what evidence did they provide?

Absolutely nothing.

Not a single credible screenshot.

Not one verifiable image.

Not one legitimate source.

Not one piece of concrete evidence substantiating their claims.

Despite my repeated demands for proof, they consistently ignored my questions, evaded accountability, and resorted to hostility whenever their claims were challenged.

Let me make something abundantly clear: attacking the person questioning your narrative does not validate YOUR narrative.

If your argument collapses the moment someone asks for evidence, you don’t have an argument.

You have speculation masquerading as fact.

You don’t get to make extraordinary claims, demand unquestioning acceptance, and then organize a coordinated attack against anyone who expects you to substantiate them.

The burden of proof belongs to the people making the claims, not the people challenging them.

And to this very moment, despite all the insults, accusations, harassment, and coordinated hostility, you have still failed to produce a single verifiable piece of evidence proving Valko was readded.

So here’s my challenge:

Produce the files.

Provide the screenshots.

Identify the sources.

Show the actual evidence.

Otherwise, stop presenting rumours as confirmed developments and attacking people who refuse to participate in your misinformation.

Your outrage is not evidence. Your insults are not arguments. And your collective confidence does not turn speculation into reality.

Until you can substantiate your claims, you have absolutely no grounds to lecture anyone about credibility, accuracy, or misinformation.

Furthermore, claiming you can’t provide such evidence due to “boundaries”, “respect for anonymity” and that the people who provided you that information requested you not to, you are so painfully manipulative and your claims flimsy at best.

As I said, produce a screenshot of the image these people provided you with no identifying information of their identity visible - I and no one else would be able to extract any data from the data of the image of that individual.

I also presented the opportunity for you to give everyone here some valid hope, to reinvigorate the boycott and dispel many peoples’ current fears of his removal with this simple request.

But you continuously avoided, ignored and excused away my requests.

Why?

Because you have no proof.

Vielen Dank für eure treue Unterstützung von THE PRIMALS.

Mit großer Trauer geben wir den Tod unseres Bassisten Eikichi Iwai bekannt.

[w e n n | 𝔥𝔦𝔰 𝔏𝔲𝔫𝔞 🌕 @wennxdora]

Let me just say this, as someone who's worked with CN stakeholders.

There's no such thing as hopium. We call it hopium, but in reality, it can be a way of stringing people along just long enough for them to become emotionally invested. It's a manipulation tactic. (I see until sian 🙄)

Why do you think some people fall off the rails and eventually go back to the game or start spending again? Bcs when your hopes keep getting crushed, you get exhausted. Eventually, you relent.

Hopium is all fun and games if you know how to regulate your emotions, but that's not always the case. You win some, you lose some, right? Some will quit entirely, while others will eventually give in. And I believe the company is banking on those who relent.

I don't blame the people who fall off the rails. Boycotting is HARD. I blame the company's decision for putting us through this stupid shit in the first place.

Now, go back to the June 30th statement. (Sorry, ik it hurts.) I'm not gonna type the whole thing out here, but you know what I mean. Cancelled development, no additional LIs, etc.

Let me tell you one thing about CN stakeholders, ya? Mian Zi (面子) is very much a thing.

Why do you think they went ten toes down with the ANTNE multi and its paywalled items, only to go another ten toes down with this RD multi?

My interpretation? They're trying to justify their decision to keep Valko cancelled bcs reversing that statement would mean swallowing their pride and admitting they were wrong.

Cut off the arm to save the body is VERY real, let me tell you that. And some stakeholders can be incredibly cutthroat about it. It's nothing personal, just business. And I'm not saying it's a good decision.

I strongly believe the whole "从头开始" in ANTNE wasn't just a fking pun. And no, I'm not talking about Valko's exposed forehead hairstyle either. This had the CN Valkyries reaching for their pitchforks bcs of what it implied. 💀

In Chinese, it meant starting afresh. I believe they had every intention of moving forward with only 5 LIs. But bcs our boycott has been putting pressure on their revenue, they went another ten toes down with the RD multi and its paywalled items just to be sure.

They tried to tempt us, but from where I'm standing, it hasn't worked. And don't be surprised if they try something else to lure us back. I don't even wanna say it. NP— OKAY, NO. 💀 But I hope you get my point.

And about the survey asking whether we'd attend their events? You think that means they're desperate? I don't think so.

I believe they're trying to gauge potential attendance bcs organizing an event only to have a poor turnout would be a massive loss of face (especially in motherland). And when 面子 matters, they'd rather reconsider or cancel an event than risk that kind of embarrassment.

That's how I interpret their actions, anyway. You don't have to agree with me. But please, don't let every little thing they do become another reason to feed yourself hopium, only to suffer a massive crash-out when the outcome isn't what you hoped for. They know what we want. But are they giving?

Protect your emotions. Protect your wallet. And remember why we started this boycott in the first place.

No Valko, No Money.
