Tons of games go abandoned, we just know of LoK because of it's popularity, so we place it on a pedestal. And because it's on a pedestal, we want to take it down. It's pretty poetic.
Now THIS is actual poetry XD I kinda want to print this quote and hang it on a wall for when motivation goes down.
It's actually pretty motivating to keep making the game! :D

Oh if you're referring to the tech demo, yeeeeeah we definitely are gonna improve from that, it isn't complete so I can easily agree it sucks haha.

The new 2D background though! they're awesome! And I'm working hard to bring you pretty animations.
Here we were doing tests, but I hope it works as a sneak peek of the new look:





We try to also bring updates to our patreons weekly, and any help we can get is welcome.

So yeah, I hope we'll be able to change your minds :D The team and I are working really hard, so there's that!
I have to say, these are looking a lot better than the tech demo. I hope you and your team are able to make me eat my words. I'm only harsh because I love the LoK stuff. Wishing you guys best of luck with your work.

Wow, I actually predicted that a vaccine for COVID would be out before 0.1 of this game and I was right.
Depends on where you live! Where I live the vaccine will definitely arrive after we release ;P
A reminder to please be nice, making things takes time, we're a small team and we're giving it all.

I'm kinda sad that it was abandoned, I hope the Other LoK will live up in it's place
Well, we're definitely working to bring you the best version of this game. Our objective is to take all the steps to get the old content back in but in a revamped version. I hope we'll live up to expectations.

Thank you for the support >.<

Dude, I really hope the vaccine arrives before the game, because a vaccine is far more important than a silly game.

Also thanks for keeping the spirits up, cause sometimes some encouragement really helps.
Again, we keep posting updates and showing where we're at. I really can't wait to get you something playable cause I'm frustrated with this situation myself.

Just know we haven't abandoned the ship, but we're working harder than ever, and being as transparent as possible in the process.
Thank you for your feedback nonetheless, as I understand what caused the frustration some people rightfully feel, I'll definitely do everything in my power to avoid this cycle repeats.

Here's to hope 2020 finishes as quickly as possible cause I honestly had enough of it XD
Man I really can't wait to get the vaccine

Thats because there is a different thread for that game, since they scrapped the assets from this one and started fresh.

So, at least as far as I'm concerned, the project wasn't really abandoned at all but just swapped threads. Which I guess is good news if you're somebody reading this who didn't realize there was a new thread/project underway.

I'm uncertain of the amount of projects that get's scrapped, and refreshed. A lot of the features that were intended can now be made, so the new is at least in spirit of this abandoned one.
I don't think It's quite abandoned, since many things go through many variations, yet keep their class, house, and sometimes name.
bearing fruit is an inevitable chore if you wish to eat. The seeds of this fruit was harvested, and while still being nurtured, shows the next generation to be stronger and juicier. now, Tastes are often differ, but i don't know if some of the tools, such as the quest editor or others they customed made, would be available to the team if they had continued support for 0.8

So the remake got a remake, before the previous remake was anyhow finished? What.
Also what the hell are those hilarious running animations? The guy's ankles end up bending the other way, god.

I swear, every time I check this project it gets even funnier.

I quite like the art, the characters and the world. However I think the approach is very much over ambitious. Which might be why this version failed and looking at the tech demo of the new remake it looks equally let's call it iffy.

Imho they should start with a basic version (renpy seems easiest/most popular even though it's a bore/pain to code in), take their art and remake a mixture of the old games ( A bit of combat (dice rolls/round based) a bit of grind/puzzles but mostly dialogue and story. If the game/development team has gained enough momentum/following (which is very much dependent on amount of content and regular updates) they could go in a more ambitious direction. But hey what do I know, if they pull this off, kudos.

They decided to scrap the tech demo and go back to the original way they had made the game but with new assets and animation and stuff if i read the discord correctly.
