Others Legend of Krystal: Rebirth Continued [Development Thread]

The biggest problem with your project might be that the older generation no longer believes in the success of this brand. Over the lifespan of Flash games, a dozen LoK projects have been released, and none were even halfway completed. Meanwhile, the younger generation has no idea this even exists...

Over the lifespan of Flash games, a dozen LoK projects have been released, and none were even halfway completed. Meanwhile, the younger generation has no idea this even exists...

This specific thought appeared in my head a few weeks ago with the launch of Azure Tales.

You're right, past projects haven't reached their full potential, and evolving generations is a valid concern. But I have plans to address this.

This revival is a passion project for me, but it's also part of a larger vision for the community. Think beyond just this one project. Imagine a space where we can revive and build upon past efforts of other abandoned projects. As things develop, I'll be sure to share more details about the future roadmap and how the community can get involved. That said, I don't plan on committing to it until I either get LOKRC to the original v0.8 state or there's enough community engagement to justify it. (We do, however, already have a modest but very nice server infrastructure, tho)

I'm basically alone in this; the rest of the founding maintainers aren't engaged in the same way. I don't blame them—everyone has different priorities, and I understand that they can't be as involved as they once were.

Nonetheless, in the meantime, I'll keep developing LOKRC.

Good luck, always preferred the original project rather than the new one
Perhaps if you made a discord as someone already suggested, there'd be more engagement

Meh, maybe if 95% of the 'LoK' projects weren’t scams, then... and only then would there be a chance that someone would actually deliver. But as it stands, it feels like a pipe dream with so many letdowns and false promises. Even if someone had the best intentions, it would probably end up like Duke Nukem Forever.

Yeah, that's true
I just enjoyed this game way better than whatever the devs from the tribe are coming up with

No, what I meant it's actually made by the original team, it was in the first release of the original game, I think they were supposed to be some kind of demon tribe or something similar. View attachment 3299270

I just found out about this, did something happen to the repo in the end?

It is, at this exact moment, being overhauled along with other services and infrastructure equipment. It should return to normal operation in a few hours.

As for the game, as the time allows, I'm currently working on NPC pathfinding and animation pairing.

 

[M1IigYbSpoWPZWVKgMpy]

Nice, I wish you the best of luck. I just considered it too unlikely for an infra migration going on exactly at the moment I was looking at it, no ill intent behind my question

Truthfully, quite good now. I have a lot of time to tackle loads of things I wanted. I've switched the project stage from indev to alpha, which focuses on actual tangible game events rather than backend stuff.
I already bought Spine ESS with the money donated, but I need a bit more for the Pro version, which is what we need to have proper sex scenes. For now, I'm exporting PNG sequences.

In short, I expect to reach a good reproduction of v0.8 by Christmas. After that I'll only work forwards if I have minimum monthly donation amount (which I also will lock with a minimum expected releases per month, to not waste people's money on weeks of "backend development")

I have a lot of plans for OpenLOK as a whole, not limited to Krystal stuff. But for now the focus is solely on lokrc, I'll let the community decide on what to work next after I finally release v0.8 later this year.
