Unity Abandoned Legend of Krystal: Rebirth [v0.8] [LOK Team]

[Ion.TemUS]

Apparently they start from scratch.
I cant..... I cant believe this bullshit its so laughable. Thats just another excuse to take another 6 months to get to the exact point in the story where theys are right now at the moment, isnt it?

How do they want to have ANY SIGNIFICANT content additions if they do it this way? All the things up until now we already played. All the fans of the game will literally wait half a year or at the very least multiple months (on top of the ones we already waited) till they can expect ANY new content story-wise.

The only new stuff they MIGHT add is additional dialogue and jobs. And that willl be spread far and wide across all the new patches and releases and parts of the game.

Inconceivable, really. I might sound super cynical but I cant see how else they are gonna do this. And its stupid.

Imo it was super bad planning and the patrons have to suffer now. I'm very disappointed too. This should never be a thing if people who work on a game have experience and the support cash to invest so much time every day. I could understand it if the team broke apart or someone got killed but this...dumb indeed.

Its somwhat further from that.
Their idea of revamping is that they want to do the project from the start according to the very first concept of the game. Previously I wrote that Vlad was a writer of this project but then he and Abel didn't go well together, so Abel stopped co-working with him. By that point there was only so much done, so the latest updates already didnt have Vlad's vision, this is why Abel had problems with the script and stuff... Now that they are revamping the game, they want to stick close to the original ideas, and since they re-hired Vlad, he will be able to finish his vision of the game.

To that said: they now have a vision of "Game first, hentai second" and now they want add such things to the game as real side view models, world map, more fleet story, clothes and skins, weapons and combat, revamp Cenvir's character for him to be a total douchebag, add a companion system and a minigame "pterodactyl races". From Vlad's words they reference KOTOR's mechanics very heavily.

Also from the talk with Vlad, it seems that the story will gain darker and more serious tones. It looks like that he despises the idea of LOK being light-headed, no-problem date simulator, so he wants to implement a much more serious approach.

So what do you think of that?
I personally was totally ok with a light-headed tone of the game where it was all fun and hentai.

I'm more doubtful than ever about what they plan to do. Have they learned from it or are we at the same point one year later and another restart happens? I would probably end my support as a patron now if i ever started to support them. :/

 

[Rixen]

Well, it was nice while it lasted, guess all LoK games except the LoK vG are cursed to never be finished.

and they plan to release demo version on mid september.But i really do feel that RSP models kill the feel and sexyness of old models i dont like these new RSP models at all thats my opinion.

 

[Porn_Jesus]

We can only hope for the best or don't care anymore. If it gets even better than before...damn awesome but the doubt is stronk. :/

Same, to be honest Im not a fan of the new side view.
I think with it some kind of magic specific to this porject will be lost.

Dont know why they decided to go with it. Sideview as in 0.8 looks far more intriguing, especially on the male lizards - they look much more bulkier and menacing.

 

[Detective Cancer]

I'm keeping wary but optimistic.
I really want this game to succeed and if a good change does come of this I'll consider giving Kuja money again.
Krystal deserves a nice project that doesn't die to the curse.

Eh, I am not a fan of what I have seen and read so far. With that said I will do my best to keep an open mind for the demo. In my opinion, a far better route would have been to finish the present game with a much smaller story line. This would have provided some "meat" for fans to chew on, provided a proof of concept and allowed them a base to build on. Seems foolish to me to take the current project progress and simply trash it, only to start a project 10000000x larger in scope with no proof of concept. I am skeptical and worried.

 

[Detective Cancer]

I don't like the new art style either, it might be easier to get through and animate but it lacks a lot of the detail and personality the current one has. That said, it's very early to tell but totally dropping so much work out of the blue and beginning from scratch with so much more ambition seems reckless, if not outright stupid.
My inner cynic says it's easier to make excuses and stall to continue making money though, and that's probably what's happening. I don't see this new and expanded far more complex game working out better just because they have a bigger team when they've already got a really good framework they'd just have to add more animations and text to.
I also don't like the idea of combat becoming a main mechanic, that never goes well in these types of games, not on Ren'py, not on Flash and not even on RPGMaker, I don't have hopes for it working out super smoothly and well on Unity of all things. With this game's track record I can only hope at this point.

 

[humi198]

i have watched kuja old stream of RSP(real side pose) models he draw alot of animtaions pics of how moving hands with same model with different style as i said the only reason they are doing it beacause its alot easy to do with the RSP model than the older model as you seen in the game when its bugged during animation heads go diffrent way arms go different way ankels go different but with the RSP models they literly took all the hardiness they are having out of the way and even adding more animation like moving hands during talking about something like that.
So what they are planning .it simple
Older models were just like art it was beautiful but it is hard to move beautiful art with animation. well not hard if alot of ppl working on it like big scale game.
RSP models are simple and liner art only showing side prespective and easy to animate with different variety and there is less probability of bugged in the animation
I started to understand this when in streams kuja start drawing these RSP models I imediately noted that they are having difficulty in animating the old models and at that moment i knew in the future they are going with RSP models which i disliked back then and now. because drawing art is better than simple drawing but than again moving art in a good motion is hard so im okay with them going with simple drawing with alot of animations beacuse thats how it is. sacrifice one thing for another
again there is BUT
will they release constant update after demo that will decide the fate of this game.

I knew the characters were going to have a change but why ruin them like that?

aside from that they RSP those images are still unfinished

 

[Ion.TemUS]

Gonna be honest, I prefer the models how they were up until now, but I dont think the real side-view will be a deal-breaker as long as they manage to get th the boobs and ass right for all female character and the dick and muscles for the males.

That being said, I hope if they do change it like that they can at least be faster with implementing scenes and shit and I hope that the models will have the same detail as they had before.

With a larget team Id expect quick released (every month) and for them to be back where they left off pretty quickly, otherwise it would be kind of lame.

Im glad they want to make the gameplay more fun, that is a thing I can support.
But I guess with all the revamp shit Ill have to just go into sleeper mode for 5 months and then check back on this project, I dont think it will take less time than that the way I know Patreon.

One thing I do wonder about is how they'll do the penises for the tribe guys.
I know it'd be hard to animate a slit and there wouldn't be a need for the loincloth they have but still..
Tiny nitpick and inconsequential but eh~

According to the former trello they planned to replace them at some point with proper lizard penises but now we can be happy if the game doesn't kill itself.

 

[RazRazor]

So when they are doing the RSP models it will be interesting to see how they will do the H-scenes. I think it will then switching to a different picture/animation like in the final Cenvir scene? Otherwise only having side view would be bad.
I also prefer the old model much more, but I will wait for the demo to see what we will get.

My biggest concern is this "Game first, Hentai Second" theme. Does that mean we will have to wait ages for the game to move forward in the spicy direction?
All this stuff they want to add (puzzles, platforming, world map, fighting) just sounds like waaay to much for the game. In the end it should be (in my opinion) a corruption game with an interesting story. I really dont need a fighting system or whatever this companion system will be

 

[Detective Cancer]

My biggest worry is that they go the way they did with Cenvir and just have awful CG art for scenes instead of actual scenes animated and playing out like most of the game does.
I'm not too worried about the side view stuff, I'm certain they'll figure you should be able to move the camera around at least slightly if they're going fully sideways as opposed to the slight angle everything has right now so we can see things.
I might be giving them a lot of undue credit though.
