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

[wurstbonbon]

so i have a quck question, why did they do the remake? i Played lok and loved it in the past and i discoverd rebirth around version 0.8 and i loved the game the second i played it The style, the game, the potential. thats why i decided to check in again and saw the Tech Demo and im not gonna lie i was kinda dissapointed why are they trying to make this 3dish kinda game? I was super exited when i heard that they add like fighting system, inventory and so on.But now the old lok flair is kinda lost.I thought all this time that they where just adding more stuff like more events,better scenes or like point and klic elements and stuff. Just what the Hell did i miss?
sorry for my bad english and i actually dont know if im right in this thread its the first time i actually wrote something here ...

Abelius, who's in charge of the art in your new game? I think the proportions of the character are very similar to the ones Krystal had before the remake. I like it.

First, Welcome!
Well, to put it shortly, the team changed a little with one (significant) person stepping down, and others joined in. The reasons for that, if i recall them right, where personal differences on how to do things (Abelius, the significant person i mentioned, has a post with more details some pages back) After a quick vote (on discord) they started over around August last year, doing it from scratch because it seemed to difficult to work with the existing base (cant say anything about that because im no coder, programmer or otherwise involved in the gaming industry, so everything i say is stupid as i learned) And after a long series of bad things and delays, we are finally here, with the new tech demo, which you allready saw.
To your other question, why 3dish, i can only guess it was an idea to improve. I do share your oppinion that this seems to be more of a downgrade overall, but like most of us were reminded, its a tech demo which should only share some visions of the devs. Who knows, maybe we will be proven wrong. But let me say this, be glad you just stumbled upon this, and not have had the "exciting" journey some of us had.
Feel free to read the last 50 to 60 pages since the annoucement.
And i take your sorry for your english, as i do hope you take mine ^^

Really? I don't know why, but I suspected it.

 

[chopolander]

I didn't even notice. I had taken a little look at it today and said... mmmmmm

Well that was a wild adventure I took tonight. I was browsing Rule 34 and saw Krystal pop up for the first time in a long time, and that brought back memories of the old flash game on newgrounds, so I decided to look up Krystal on F95zone, and found this game. Looked awesome, downloaded it didn't really read the comment beforehand.

Game was grindy and I had to dig for the scenes but it looked great, a really modern siderscroller game in a style i'm use too. So I close the game come back to see what everyone is saying about it, and then I realize I just played the cancelled or I guess old version of the game. That was confusing nothing on the homepage made that clear.

So I go the paetron to investigate and see whats up, and I get the tech demo and public build to see what the new game going forward is going to be. Had to double check to make sure I didn't just launch Morrowind by accident, but the new game was radically different than what I downloaded on f95zone. It was a tech demo so I'll come back in awhile and see progress at a later date.

But as someone who just came in on this tonight, I think it would be a good idea to edit the original post because it's very confusing and deceptive.

Thank you for your help that anwsered all my Questions
yeah i know that it is just a tech demo and has a lot of room for improval. And i dont mind that they are doing it. I just wished that they would have finished the game as it was ... but thats just my opinion and prefference .
What are you talking about your English and grammar is waaay better than mine ;D

Well, I suppose I have to wait around and see where this new direction might lead. Could be worth the shot, setting aside the grinding problem I've had before the Tech Demo versions.

Wish you all the best.

The devs have no control over the front page, so we'd have to rely on whoever posted first. There should hopefully be a new thread soon.

Youp, sadly - you got it right.

If they've started over, with a new game how come this hasn't gotten the abandoned tag?

The game title is the same, but they went to the other fork of the road mid-way through, in my opinion.

Fair enough, just seems a little misleading when reading the last 50-60 posts. Might just be me.

Since the new iteration is basically a new game, it should get a new thread and this one should be tagged abandoned, in my opinion (also to be archived along the old game and discussion).

This isn't a Ship of Theseus situation. The old ship is gone and is being rebuilt in a way that it looks completely different with different materials. Literally the only common thecnical detail is its name.

The developers already said that they plan on opening a new topic for the new version, just wait until they do.

I guess it would be an easy way to get rid of negative comments too

But it's something that was known from the beginning.

 

[mrme]

I suggested they should've started a new thread from the get go, but that would've meant admitting (and receiving flak for) that they'd abandoned the old version of the game, and they wouldn't have been able to ride the new game on it's coattails.
