We won't know for sure since if they accept, NDAs are involved. That said... When Valko is launched properly, I hope the commissioned fanart is eye watering stunning. And if the "OG/5" people show their ass about it, welcome to the bl0ck list.

Of course, Paper/Infold is aware of this. They're lucky that this banner made almost half of its original projection on these platforms. I am curious with them contacting artists for the creator program. Artists that have drawn Valko extensively. Of course, once accepted, NDAs are in effect.

The overall total may still fluctuate due to the last day's figures possibly being updated. Just yikes at the difference between the before and adjusted figures (over $1 million difference). And, while Mortality's Tenderness didn't hit $10 million... being under $7 million is just... 😬 Ouch.

Paper has been reaching out to various artists with invites to the creator program. Most, if not all, of the artists they contacted have been drawing Valko over the last few months. (Commissioning illustrations for a launch release is what I'm speculating so let's go.)

I had a dream where I was playing LADS... I happened to have the 200 pull crate for the multi banner (A Night That Never Ends) and when I opened it to select a memory, Valko was included... I blame the info I found out yesterday.

Alismónitos | 🐦‍⬛♥️ | Let Valko out of the crate, Paper/Infold @alismonitos.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

💯Yup. Especially with it being the first multi with all six. The marketing with fair better too. Even with the criticism about the whole Top Up rewards event deal. So many more edits thanks to Illusio too.

Apparently they had another stream a few hours ago and it was a big nothing burger of telling eachother they're doing good work. 🙄 Hey, I'll take it at this point if it means Paper is able to track everyone down and have the authorities talk to them (while Paper shadowdrops Valko).

Alismónitos | 🐦‍⬛♥️ | Let Valko out of the crate, Paper/Infold @alismonitos.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

I'm a little glad that they're "confident" enough to host these publicly and also showing their ass repeatedly (evidence~). I clocked them as wanting everything to end and not bringing Valko back a bit ago. Hopefully this is a wake up call to a few people that turned over the last month or two.

Alismónitos | 🐦‍⬛♥️ | Let Valko out of the crate, Paper/Infold @alismonitos.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

Yeah, that was the... first one? Or the first that we all picked up on. I found the clip. One of 'em thinks that we're not boycotting because the Global's spending is "up" compared to CN. ... Comparing the revenue from one country to well over 50 is some fun math. x.com/xzc1756689/s...

Alismónitos | 🐦‍⬛♥️ | Let Valko out of the crate, Paper/Infold @alismonitos.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

Yup! This is happening on the CN side (XHS, Douyin?). They're little meetings where they're talking about all the stuff they want to do to end LADS and Paper/Infold. ... Even with the official Paper Games customer service account watching/listening in. Let me find the clip again for context.

100

Alismónitos | 🐦‍⬛♥️ | Let Valko out of the crate, Paper/Infold @alismonitos.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

Mentally I'm laughing/crying over these numbers because the JJP/radicals have been hosting near daily livestreams (publicly) and there's a clip floating around where they're not worried about global revenue because global is spending more than domestic. ... Global has more players than domestic...

There will probably be a spike for the last day of data that will be released 24 hours from now. I don't think it'll be enough to cross $8 million though. Just, yesh. A multi banner not clearing $10 million via only these revenue streams is a first.

And omg yeeeessss. I've been wanting Ancient Egyptian stuff for all the guys so bad. We got a little bit of that with Zayne and GoA (Mesopotamia and Sumer too). If Valko doesn't get an Anubis-themed one for this round, I hope it'll be used in the future.

110

Alismónitos | 🐦‍⬛♥️ | Let Valko out of the crate, Paper/Infold @alismonitos.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

There is some "crossover" stuff between the two games. Especially using the same code name for Valko's Blobbu in the game files is the same name for some wolves in Itzaland (Nightglow). While they are separate teams, I wouldn't be shocked if there was some swapping done internally with staff.

Alismónitos | 🐦‍⬛♥️ | Let Valko out of the crate, Paper/Infold @alismonitos.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

Whole House Mad 4th or 5th edition at this rate... Unless we are in the 10s, 100s, 1,000s at this point because it has just been varying degrees of everyone is pissed since late June. 😵‍💫

Alismónitos | 🐦‍⬛♥️ | Let Valko out of the crate, Paper/Infold @alismonitos.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

Yup, the idea is that it would've been end of Sept to now. So the current multi's time slot. It also is not helping that there was the whole Anubis rumor and the current Infinity Nikki update has a mix of Egyptian and North African inspired pieces. The half patch is dropping an Anubis outfit too. 🫠

110

Alismónitos | 🐦‍⬛♥️ | Let Valko out of the crate, Paper/Infold @alismonitos.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

Actually, I should go back and look at the patch notes for A Night That Never Ends and see if it would qualify as a half version update (whether as intended or to fix the very busted modified Version 6.0).

010

Alismónitos | 🐦‍⬛♥️ | Let Valko out of the crate, Paper/Infold @alismonitos.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

Special circumstances & at least on the CN side they haven't been calling the current version of the game as 6.0 in social media posts. When Heartbeats Ablaze dropped last year on Oct. 29th, that was treated as a half version update. So... still a possibility of "relaunching" 6.0 before 7.0 happens.

210

Alismónitos | 🐦‍⬛♥️ | Let Valko out of the crate, Paper/Infold @alismonitos.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

The reruns would be pulled from the following banners: Sylus' Radiant Brillance Zayne's Heartstring Notes Yes, Cat Caretaker Xavier's Silvery Polyphony Nightly Rendezvous Caleb's Painful Signal Tomorrow's Catch-22 ... And just YIKES because all of those would be money makers.

100

Alismónitos | 🐦‍⬛♥️ | Let Valko out of the crate, Paper/Infold @alismonitos.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

If the next multi runs in Nov, then we are definitely guaranteed a rerun dropping partway through that (a solo). Caleb's Netherlord Companion/Myth should be rerunning within the next two months too. But if it becomes a stretch of rerun solo + rerun multi before/after multi or myth, just please no.

210

Alismónitos | 🐦‍⬛♥️ | Let Valko out of the crate, Paper/Infold @alismonitos.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

True. The Promise bit isn't a guarantee. Valko's initial release was supposed to happen a few weeks after Xavier and Zayne's Promise back in June. I'm just thinking timing because that card, in theory, should be made available before his limited Myth. His Myth shouldn't be delayed for too long.

110

Alismónitos | 🐦‍⬛♥️ | Let Valko out of the crate, Paper/Infold @alismonitos.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

The only other dates I'm eyeballing are October 21st - 23rd. The current Promise ends on the 21st and Valko was supposed to be with Sylus for this season. It would be a good time to release him and then have him be apart of the Promise (that goes from end of Oct to end of Dec).

110

Alismónitos | 🐦‍⬛♥️ | Let Valko out of the crate, Paper/Infold @alismonitos.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

I was hoping for Valko in Sept, but that didn't happen. November... he gets a proper debut (solo). He doesn't miss the next multis. We can get his 2026 solo and his birthday before the year ends. Also his Myth unless they want to bump that into 2027. The 10 Days With You is now clear for him too.

110

Alismónitos | 🐦‍⬛♥️ | Let Valko out of the crate, Paper/Infold @alismonitos.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

Well, process of elimination and repeating of pattern. Raf's solo is all that have left before we start getting into more Myths. Allegedly Xavier is releasing in early December (like Sylus these past two years). Just... I'm shaking my head because reruns for a month and a half will not go over well

210

Alismónitos | 🐦‍⬛♥️ | Let Valko out of the crate, Paper/Infold @alismonitos.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

Yeah. DAR is the outlier. It also went against the theory of Sylus having a branch story next. The funny thing is that once Sylus and Caleb's branch stories are done, the next Main Story update will probably be Caleb and Valko and will give us their Timelock Key entries. ... Hopefully.

110

Alismónitos | 🐦‍⬛♥️ | Let Valko out of the crate, Paper/Infold @alismonitos.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

+ the Pulse Hunter style Standard banner... and if the event theme isn't an AU and more of a "it's been another year together" bit then oh will that be even more awkward. And, "Oh, btw, here's a h0rny 4-Star of Valko"... just. Ugh. ... Oh. I remembered the rumors about the theme. It'll be awkward.

210

Alismónitos | 🐦‍⬛♥️ | Let Valko out of the crate, Paper/Infold @alismonitos.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

Gosh it would (I was hoping he'd be back for my birthday too... it's so awkward looking at the birthday screen now with that gap + missing the interaction in Home). If they do wait to relaunch him during 7.0 that... that is going to be a stacked update and a mess. Limited multi + Valko solo debut...

110

Alismónitos | 🐦‍⬛♥️ | Let Valko out of the crate, Paper/Infold @alismonitos.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

It's all weird and technically that multi needs to run in November so there's enough time for the 3rd anniversary multi that starts on 12/31. I'm hoping for a Valko relaunch after Xavier's Birthday or in November. Or else it's gonna be nothing but reruns starting next month (until a Myth in Dec).

100

Alismónitos | 🐦‍⬛♥️ | Let Valko out of the crate, Paper/Infold @alismonitos.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

Yeah... that's ... IDK. I've been hearing that Misty Invasion is rerunning after Xavier's birthday. After that's it's Raf's solo banner for this year. Those would get us to early November... Sylus's branch story might be like Caleb's where there was no banner running for a few days...

210

Alismónitos | 🐦‍⬛♥️ | Let Valko out of the crate, Paper/Infold @alismonitos.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

Not only that... but... ok. I fell off with reporting on this. But between days 7 and 16, they didn't even get $2 million via iOS and Google Play. Just. WOW. This is going to be the worst performing multi banner as of now. If the next one happens without Valko... then that one might tank even worse.

100

Alismónitos | 🐦‍⬛♥️ | Let Valko out of the crate, Paper/Infold @alismonitos.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

And abosfuckinglutely. A bunch of queer women play the game too, funny how they forget that bit. Though... at least the bigots out themselves fast. Easy to block that way, but if that's someone's first interaction with someone else within the fandom... not the greatest start.

Alismónitos | 🐦‍⬛♥️ | Let Valko out of the crate, Paper/Infold @alismonitos.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

Perhaps they don't know it's made in China... or that they assume it's possible due to the "global expansion" idea... but that's still ignoring things like AO3 being banned and how BL accusations have been used as a weapon in trying to get a game shutdown (in China). Just... it's bizarre.

Alismónitos | 🐦‍⬛♥️ | Let Valko out of the crate, Paper/Infold @alismonitos.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

It took this banner 16 days to hit $7.5 million when it could have easily generated that in the first four or five days if Valko was released... I swear. 😩

Sometimes I wish all of these knuckleheads were b0ts and not a person behind a screen who lacks so much empathy. It doesn't help that every little thing sets them off. (Especially the "OG/5" players... they have the "version" of the game they want, but can't stop talking about Valko at every turn.)

Alismónitos | 🐦‍⬛♥️ | Let Valko out of the crate, Paper/Infold @alismonitos.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

And oh hell is it (LADS being hated in certain parts) due to the all-or-nothing nonsense and a few assholes being considered the entire fandom. There are bad apples in every fandom + social media algorithms promoting/"churning" the discourse... so it's not a fun "battle".

110

Alismónitos | 🐦‍⬛♥️ | Let Valko out of the crate, Paper/Infold @alismonitos.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

What a shit way to "prove a point". 🙄 And just unnecessary to bring up right now. I totally do not blame people for wanting a male MC or gen/der/fluid/non/binary/tra/ns/etc. given the quality of LADS. Unfortunately, that's limited to fanworks given the otome genre and that the game is made in China.

Also, historically, changing a queer character's sexuality to straight as a board to serve for someone's self-insert romantic fantasy rarely goes over well. Learn how to read the room.

And the Nu Carnival discourse is so... *blinks* Yeah, the people saying that a BL game needs to have a female MC to cater to them deserve a tolerable dose of being clowned on. Just what the fuck are you doing... It's giving bean soup theory.

Last I checked these... individuals... are trying to get the whole game and company shutdown by bringing up the number concerning Xavier. Again. (What a shit birthday present.) Also, congrats dumbasses for hosting a LIVESTREAM saying you want the company gone all while Paper CS was watching. Fools.

Hello~ IRL got a little busy for a little bit. I'm still playing catch up. I probably won't have any time to go through my feed's backlog. 🫠 Bare minimum goal for me is to play catch up w/ the revenue within the next 24 hours. Provided... well... IDK. JJP/Radicals are always doing ill-advised shit.

BTW, I'll have revenue posts at the ready tomorrow. To the surprise of no one, the revenue for the multi is dropping day by day. This rerun will cause a slight spike. And then Q3 total revenue is just baaaaaad overall.

Alismónitos | 🐦‍⬛♥️ | Let Valko out of the crate, Paper/Infold @alismonitos.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Into the Canvas rerun is happening during the multi. Just due to the timing they decided to wait until the last usual posting session to announce it. Well. At least we know what the first half of October looks like now with just banners. Which rerun after Xavier's birthday is still up in the air.

To further clarify: I don't have a problem with Charlie covering this. I'm just caught between baffled and "Well, of fucking course" that it's this post and the commentary broke out of the LADS Tw*tter bubble. It checks off a few boxes in an interesting story/holy shit that actually happened?
