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

[MrCrazy123]

I understand why people can be frustrated with development time, I haven't really followed along for the entire show so my perspctive might be a bit different, but it seems like people are being REALLY hard on the new version.

The new art is blatantly better than the old stuff from an anatomy standpoint and game development does take time so that isn't nessecarily weird or bad either.

Of course we'll find out what the reality is as time goes on but I don't know why people are being so negative.

 

[Mikogon]

It look really interesting

 

[salestimania]

patience is the key element of success....
It looks like they put a lot of
work into this.. just give them more time and the game will be fun and beautiful

 

[reallybadman]

For those that constantly talk about how much better looking old Krystal was:

I think a lot has to do with the old versions coloring versus the samples of the newer one. I immediately thought it was a downgrade until I really examined the differences.

 

[SharkVampire]

Sadly I can't leave links yet, but check Twitter * ShineSL_ *, it seems this creator posted new upgrade of his/her experimental game.

Not even close to what I would prefer, I was hopping it more similar in art to this game, but oh well... anyway thx for info, buddy.

The funny thing is that I'm not really into furry myself, but somehow old design drag me in and I really enjoyed
I think the best position in this situation it's just wait until devs show us this demo and then make final decision. It's really hard to tell whether these updates will be good or not.

According to last screenshot that MightyAltroll showed us, we at least can create something closer to original art which is good thing IMO. But I agree with others: now lizard gals don't look attractive at all. As I said, I'm not much into furry myself, but I just did a quick search, how people draw lizard girls and here 2 images, that I could call cute (They also don't have ridiculous hair ). Also I must say, in the old design lizard girl was fine, not super attractive but also not super bad IMO.

Hi all, Tech Demo Update! First of all we have to apologize because we thought all 4 sex animations would be done roughly around the same time, but alas, the universe just wants to prove us wrong. It's been quite the hard month for us with so much work but Pikant's animation is completely finished and he is currently rushing to finish one more. The other animations are at around 60% completion, but will be completed asap. Yet another stressful situation of going "Just 2 more weeks, guys, they'll be done!", but honestly we are not going to do that. At this point we just want to show off all the good stuff we've done. The dialogue is done, the mechanics are looking pretty beautiful, and the environment is legitimately amazing. Everything is pretty much finished, except the animations. So we're discussing releasing the tech demo into two different parts: unpolished and polished and let you awesome people play something right now. We're also going to be seriously looking at our animation pipeline (something that should have been done ages ago), because it's honestly ridiculous at this point. So, again, we are super sorry that you guys have had to wait as long as you have, and you have a right to be disappointed for it. We are trying our best to learn from our mistakes while trying to be a real team of game developers. We currently suck at giving estimate dates (remember how much I hated to give dates? Yeah... now you know why ) but I'm assuming the other half of the sex animations will be polished in roughly three weeks. We'll also use this time to go through the challenge of applying all of the facial expressions that Kuja has created for the characters so they can be much, much more alive than the old build could ever be. That's the time we'll take to release the next tech demo build.




Please keep in mind that the tech demo by no means represent a final version of the game and there is almost literally TONS of work to be finished before we can ship 0.1v. The good news (as everyone must already know) is that the foundation is done and that from now on it is just a matter of creating assets for the game, in a TIMELY FASHION.

But to compound on the good news, I'd like to show you an awesome teaser

Please keep an eye on our Discord server and Trello board to track our Art, Animation, Coding, Bug-Tracking, Lore and other progress! Phew, it has been quite the month! Thank you all for all the awesome support and patience!



Thats the new info from discord.
I'm not really surprised by the another delay with animations, pretty damn hard piece of cake that just hardly ever want to go as you planned so its common thing to have a few if not many delays with those.
All I want to know is if ppl that are not patreons will have immediate acces to tech demo so everyone can have a taste of new fresh start.

 

[MrCrazy123]

If the tech demo is good I'd probably become a patreon. There aren't enough good furry games out there so I like to support them.

It's gonna depend on if those timely updates end up happening too, I have no problem with things taking time, but I still like to see incremental builds that come out regularly even if each update is small-ish, rather than 6 months of no builds and then a large one.

 

[chopolander]

As someone who doesn't really care about this character or the game, I'll say this:
old design - weird mutant with three boobs and severe facial and spinal deformities,
new design - cute furry girl.

It would be an interesting conclusion if there were a development of it. But looking at his avatar, it's clear to me where you stands if feels the same way about the furry models in Rack 2.

new design - cute furry girl.

The pic you've seen doesnt give off the full picture. She's standing at an angle, face front towards the direction she's facing whereas the new design has her standing straight. The closest comparison with the new design would be this:


That said, there's still a preference to the old one

 

[chopolander]

I find it hard to imagine that both designs are by the same author.

 

[MrCrazy123]

The pic you've seen doesnt give off the full picture. She's standing at an angle, face front towards the direction she's facing whereas the new design has her standing straight. The closest comparison with the new design would be this:

No, in motion she is very clearly at a flat side on view and her boobs are still sticking out awkwardly because she isn't REALLY animmated, it's just a still image that has been tweened alot to make it kinda resemble movement. So you never actually see a change in perspective.

Even if she's standing still like in your pictures it still looks weird because boobs just don't look like that, it's freaky once you notice it.

It comes off as very amateurish and it's one of the things I'm hoping they've changed in the new version.

 

[stickitinher22]

I prefer the older one tbh. I like her curves more. In the new one her ass is really flat.

That said, there's supposed to be customization for her so if I can make her look more like the old version I'll be happy. I'd be really happy to support this project again as long as the updates are timely.

No, she doesn't really become flat side when in motion. Her upper torso remains the same while her hips change with each step which is very plausible but not quite a normal walking posture IRL but it still is a tweaked image to resemble movement. Which to be clear, is an appreciated change w the new design

However, the underlying truth is people don't really pay attention to walking animations for side scroller H games. The real focus belongs to H animations as it's the main content. A great example to this would be another H game called "Goons Raid Her"

Janky walk / run animations but overshadowed by the H scenes it has


"bOoBs DoNt LoOk LiKe ThAt"



Hmm.... Never realized all boobs must be in uniform to each other when it comes to appearance according to you

 

[MrCrazy123]

That is a false comparison and you know it. Those are all clearly 3/4 view or more while crystal is damn near entirely side on.

Does this look normal to you as well?



E: to be less aggressive and argumentative I should point out that it's entirely fine for preferring the first one. You aren't wrong to do so at all. I just take issue with trying to claim that the perspective is different than it is as a form of proof .

I like the new version except I agree she could have a little more of an ass. I don't like enormous, but a little closer to the old one would be nice. I think she looks mostly fine from the other angles, but the side view just looks too small.

Well good news then about the ass. According to Vlad they're looking into changing the ass to be not quite as flat, but also not a shelf. That being said, I can't recall if that was an across the board change or if it would be a part of the customization options much like breast size will be.

The "false comparison" here would be needing to reference IRL bodies to fictional characters. All I've done is point out the logic behind your quip about it about how boobs dont look the way you would like




Just to let you know, I wholly do not care what you consider to be "normal" when it comes to fictional characters. You're setting on for a preposterous hill to die on when the realm of fictional characters; cartoons, anime, 3d and so on contain who have 4 fingers, various body proportions and / or unique characteristics ((some even for humans)).

I've played Goons Raid Her and while it's decent fap material, I'm constantly disappointed by the art design because it's like they took a 2D image of the character, cut it out, attached a single bone to each joint and then just ragdoll them around or stretch the image to make it look like they're moving. It's incredibly lazy design imo, but also very quick and easy. And a constant thing that bugs me is that apparently every guy in the game is simultaneously erect and flaccid at the same time because last I checked, when my dick gets hard, it doesn't flop around like a dead fish. It's stiff as a board and I can't bend it at all, especially not like that.

I honestly dont really mind it at all. I have an ability called Suspension of Disbelief. It's what got me through loving characters and shows like Hey Arnold!



Sure, aspects of GRH doesn't exactly reflect IRL, but that's not really a problem since the point is that it's fictional to begin with. Get past the barrier and enjoy it for what it is.

And soon we'll get to the other angles. It'll look good, it'll just take time, because it's a really complex animation to reproduce for other angles.

I like the new version except I agree she could have a little more of an ass. I don't like enormous, but a little closer to the old one would be nice. I think she looks mostly fine from the other angles, but the side view just looks too small.

We'll likely adjust the side-view/angled view butts a little bit when we start on the main game. But we've tweaked the back-facing butt:

The new delay isnt surprising, but honestly sucks big times given the fact it was in "alpha" testing a week ago, is a tech demo so "keep your expectations down" mode all the time and now again "hard month" like in the days of the old version. It seems the #nsfw-krystal-apprecitation-center has a better output ATM. Sorry had to vent that out, maybe even more but that i will keep to myself.

On the other hand, interesting what a little bit of color can do with opinions. Kujas Art sticks out on every image in case of Krystal, respect for that.
