Since quite a lot of people seem to be out of the loop regarding the work and progress made by the LOK team, here are some of the updates the devs shared. It's up to you to judge if the progress is sufficient, but at least everyone can make his opinion based on straight facts. Keep in mind that this is work in progress, and changes are possible!

Some of the species that will be present:

Walk animation, front view:

The bushes (they will influence the spotting mechanics and allow you to hide):


Some UI:


More UI:


Quick overview of the level planned for the demo:


The world map:

Menu and controls:


Some videos showing the black magics coding side (note that Gizmo built several tools, like the text editor, from the ground specifically for this game):



Some more videos are behind a paywall on their patreon.

And a little bonus!
Some voice acting (only moans and battle sounds)!

Haha yeah, that's what the team needs to do but like on the description or in a Blogspot! I've been saying that in the discord from time to time. Nice post mate.

I reserve the right to decide whether or not progress is sufficient after this time.

As I said earlier, I did not expect that after so long there would be no development...

Now... Despite the fact that there is development with what you show, these are loose ends and as far as you can see there are many, many months left until there is a demo.

Whoever started by donating 10 euros, right now will have spent 80 euros, which costs you a AAA Deluxe Edition, I'll leave it there.

I get why you make that comparison, but Patreon doesn't work like that. When you support someone through Patreon it is not with the explicit promise of a product in return, but rather because you want to support that someone. It's more like a tip jar with some added bonuses than a storefront. If you want to pay them what you think is fair for the game, then the only option is to wait until it's done or at least there is something playable.

And about that walk animation posted above. There still is something odd about the legs that I can't quite put my finger on. I guess in the game it'll not be this huge so it'll hopefully be less awkward. I think it's the knees. Not only how they look, but also how far down the legs they are.

It happens with all female drawings, cause the razorclaw dude's legs look proportionate

His upper legs still look too long to me. I'm probably just nitpicking, though. In the grand scheme not that big of an issue. I'll have to judge when I can see stuff in motion in the game.

That's a good question, actually. I just assumed it would still be called LoK: Rebirth, but I don't think I've read of any confirmation from the devs about that. In any case I think this thread will have to be tagged as abandoned and a new thread for the remake will have to be made when that's out. But doing so will cause confusion if the name stays the same.

Well, it's going to be the same game... so I imagine we could just repurpose this thread for it, or we could start a new one with a slightly different name.

I don't wanna press a rush or anything, I just wanna express that I LOVE this game and where it is headed. Honestly, any promise of continued progress from the devs would make me happy. I don't need an immediate update or anything, I just haven't seen an update in a while and would love an official statement that this project hasn't been abandoned.

It hasn't been abandoned. We're working on the remake, doing most of the assets from scratch.

Hey dude, I just wanted to tell you that we apreciate your efforts and actually being part of this thread.
Is the corona virus affecting you guys' workflow at all?

Perhaps later, in months, when we can see more than just scattered fragments, we can decide what to do with the thread.

Nice news from the discord, which makes me to take back some of my problems lately. From Discord Public Updates:

Everyone So I know patience has been wearing thin with our development, and believe me, my patience has also been wearing thin. But I want to make this statement: The playtest will be released WITHIN the next two months. Preferably within April. Then, with your approval and hopefully desire to see the full game, we will begin development with all of the foundation we have built. I want you to know that I am so happy you've given us an opportunity to produce a video game, even if it is a massively rocky start. I love you all and appreciate your support every waking moment of my feeble human existence. Let's give Krystal the game she never got, the game she deserves!

To quote Kite-Man: Hell Yeah!

A lot of things have been affecting our workflow. It's actually kind of weird how many random outlandish things have been occurring. But we press on, regardless.

And thank you kindly for the nice words. :)

Btw MightyAltroll Id recommend updating the Trello on number of animations done. Thats the main thing keeping the demo from becoming a thing right now, and we all are aware it takes a long time, dw, not here to complain. Just saying it's been sitting at 12/154 for quite some time now (rough Animations at 14/154), might want to keep that as up to date as possible to indicate some progress being made.
