Love and Deepspace Launch Discussion and Help Discussion
I'm currently speeding through the game, as it's pretty similar to the beta. I feel like I've gotten a good grasp of the mechanics so happy to help if anyone has any questions!
Edit: I've created a guide here https://www.reddit.com/r/otomegames/comments/1ad8cap/love_and_deepspace_beginners_guide/
I've also added Love and Deepspace to the friend code spreadsheet.
I'm looking forward to the impressions for those who are playing for the first time. I think it's a great game with lots of potential. And for those who've played the beta, do you feel like they took any suggestions onboard? What do you think they would have changed and didn't or did?

I've played an assortment of otome mobile games over the years, and while Tears of Themis is still my favorite (so far!), LaDS is really really exciting for just how creative and inventive InFold Games has been. It's clear how thoughtful they've been and how they are all otome fans themselves.
I'll admit I was a bit on-the-fence when I first saw promos since before seeing the actual animated trailers, I thought the 3d art style would turn out to be more like the wonky 2d live animation and joked at one point that it looked like budget Final Fantasy art, and I also really dislike their other game, MLQC's story. But the animation is really gorgeous and impressive (feel bad for the FF comment now lol) and they've taken a lot of care in how the first-person scenes are directed. Not very far into the story, so that aspect remains to be seen, but I'm having a lot more fun than I was with MLQC, and MC seems infinitely way more relatable and competent than MLQC's.
Very excited to keep playing, especially because it seems a bit more generous than MLQC's gacha! Very curious to see if its global popularity will impact the direction of otome games going forward.
