Well we can't please everyone. We made the changes because of a bunch of complaints about the old model. And we went through a few iterations to get to this one. This is probably the most versatile model we have, and we can do a lot of customization with it in the future. If he doesn't like that, then I'm afraid we can't do anything about that.
Bruh
lol... yeah I could feel that to be honest. They've kept the news up really well. Top post should get altered to show the new art etc, but they'll probably change/update the first post after the tech demo which is coming out soon. If I recall the deadline for when they want to deliver is in either May or June?
Honestly, you took the perfect timinig to miss some awkward discussion. And the fact that you come back when they finally have a demo for the new version (in the next 2 month is targeted) may have saved you from being part of this... discussion. But feel free to fresh up, i would say from the top of my head you can go at least 50 pages back and find everything here, from nice rants, meltdowns, good points, bad points etc
Their original goal was actually September/October, but that was always a soft goal, not a hard set date. They've had a lot of setbacks, both in terms of development and for personal reasons. Dying hard drives and computers caused the initial delays, after which a lot of it become problems in their personal lives that slowed down work. One of them had a death in the family which put their work specifically on hiatus for a couple of weeks. Another had a series of misfortunes that cost him time to work. They're doing their best to catch up and part of that is hiring on more animators to assist Archie since he has or at least had multiple commitments. Their new, hard set goal, is sometime around May 22nd for the demo and via their Discord server progress is definitely moving a lot faster than it was before.
9 months as of now. Look at the Updated date on the OP post - that usually tells you with good accuracy. Sometimes it will be off by some time if a patreon exclusive version is not posted right away.
Well, you see. We have a problem here. Old team has abandoned the project (as i understand) and now we have a new team with a couple of old devs. Game is being reworked from 0 now
Lol well thanks for letting me know. Have they mentioned anywhere how the new version will differ?
You guys have way more patience than I would dealing with this, I gotta say
Well, it is the old team, really. Only Abelius is gone. Kuja and I remain, with a ton new amazing teammembers.
Far better quality on the art and animations, better gameplay (That was one of the biggest issues with the old version of LoK:R, the gameplay was tedious and boring), and better back end stuff.
Excellent! Looks really great. But while I have your attention can I ask, is the slave route still a planned feature in this new version? One of the things that really interested me in the old version was the idea that there would be two very different routes to take through the game. I understand that that is a hell of a lot of work though and might have been scrapped, so just curious what the current plan regarding that is.
I don't know if they have reused anything at all from the old game, but from what I can tell just about everything has been made from the ground up again. Well, with the exception of character concepts and such.
