Unity LOK: Rebirth [v0.1.8.0 Test] [The Tribe Devs]

[Ion.TemUS]

Let's see here.

- 2 scenes with Kay
- A tavern map with a minigame (bear in mind that the map was in the making since build 16.0)
- an extra guard for the chief
- an unnecessary addition for a 4 directions, but needed for an eight directions leftover from the 3D
- 2 music
- 4 dialogues
- 1 setting option
- 1 see-through trees
- an unspecified amount of props

Now tell me, does this feel like 3 months in the making? Even RimeTheVixen produced more in that time.

Honestly, I think most of this is reasonable. When was the last update (genuinely don't remember)?
I think it makes sense that music, scenes, unique animation and some of the engine stuff takes a few months (did they say update every 3 months?)

What would disappoint me the most about this list (I don't even play it, if it ever makes proper progress I will play it once I got a few hours worth of content to play), is the dialogue. I mean sure there might be a few lines of dialogue per side-character, but just 4? Ik the quantitiy cant be quite measured by that, but that would be what disappointed me the most. If they have background maps for areas and they have the character rigs for people they should just put them in the game and add dialogue. Hell, add as much dialogue as you can. You can leave the scene unfinished and plaster a "scene in development" on top of important scenes and parts. But if there is no new (story/dialogue) content, or barely any, it just makes the game not really that fun to try out, now does it? Not a lot of people will bother to DL and play that update because nobody goes through that effort for a few dialogue lines. I know (western patreon h-game) devs that hire writers that are writing 10.000 - 20.000 words of dialogue per MONTH.

The Last update was the end of December and yes the goal is every 3 months.

uh... Is there any gameplay in this version (1.3.1) or it's just an empty demo?

It's pretty empty, build 0.1.6.1 is available to download from the launcher. It's representive of where the game is now.

You can download the launcher from here

I think it is missing: Another light interrupter has been added.

Actually we missed removing Cook from the lightswitch in Kay's Room :]

Sorry I should quote and make this one post, my bad.

As long the developer or team of devs are TRANSPARENT and actual clear with their supporters then the game will go on a bright path, And it's understandable there's uncalled inconveniences but when delays are more and more noticeable this is when doubting raises and this may be the scenario LoK rebirth may be dealing with :S

They also went from changing certain content available for specific pledger eyes to public in general then you can see how the lack of support it's dropping down and hype for the game is also starting to not look that colorful at comparison on was it at the very start.

To be frank, I believe a bug heavy 1.6 update from December and an unexpected Delay of 2 extra months did erode confidence.

It'll be a while before we build back to the 2k ish followers from the beginning of 2021. (I think that was the high water mark since I've been following. Not sure how high the old version got before the reboot) I've been somewhat happy with the posts. Supporters get NSFW and the public gets SFW and text. Maybe there is a better middle ground. Something along the lines of a Monday Meeting Notes kinda thing? Let me know what you think.

I just wonder what the man hours are on this project on a weekly basis. Someone correct me, but I think 40 Hours a week is suppose to be the norm. Ahh...I just ponder my thinker, if the accumulated works are from a good work ethic, or rather sparsed out -- which implies this crawl of development

The only two peeps you can give the stereotypical workin 40 hours a week is Kuja and Vlad. Everybody else is different levels of Freelancers.

It's not a matter of work ethic, they're all very talented and put out great work. Its been an issue of planning.

The problem is that I feel like a broken record while saying that. Because that's pretty much the same thing I said 12 months ago. Then again it's one of those solutions, I believe, where they go unnoticed. Since it'll only lead to the meeting of expectations. Which shouldn't be met with any fanfare.

Surpassing them is a different animal.

Why have a stamina bar for a walking simulator?
Why have a map that doesn't show any of the places that you can go?
Why do you have to walk 5 minutes to your bed in order to save the game?

Damn. Auuugh! I need to get off my lazy arse if those are the numbers a working writer commits too. I just do porn for fun, I don't consider myself a professional, but I like to pretend I am.

Then there is the November National Novel Writing Month, which I understand is a 50,000 word challenge.

Fuck me. Maybe I need to mastubate less.

Well its a matter of time managament, isn't it. And it heavily depend on what else you got to do in life, like a full time job will take away a lot of time.

Hmm...Sorry Theovonpapen, but it appears I couldn't read your post in time.
I guess everything LoK related was off topic~

To not get too off topic, I was making a comparison between Kuja' Lok and ShineSL's LOK.

If you want know what I said, it's best to direct message me.

Ah yes, moderation without transparency 10/10

Pro Tip Mod Peep, if you're gonna start choosing what is off-topic and what isn't, let us know.

 

[Furytales]

Don’t care much about all these stories. Want to know 2 things before I even think of playing:
1) is Krystal sucking actual dick (not this snake thingie) ?
2) is Krystal also getting fucked already?

if not, I go back in LOK-hibernation

This is actually what we can agree on.

Sure, we may be stirring up too much activity and tension, but it never reached to hatred or outright slander and libel.

 

[chopolander]

Yeah, I don't know why this topic is moderated, when the people who are supposed to make this game only come here from time to time to spy on what we say. They came to receive their "Game Makers" labels and that's it.

Mr. Pikan, in fact, hid his profile so that we would not see him.

 

[Tannin00]

no

Technically that is no longer true, in the new version 0.1.7.1 there are 2 new sex scenes with Krys.

One in the classic 2d and another in animation.

Of course... the game is going at a snail's pace but for now at least it can be said that the turtle is "beautiful".

Slow but pretty.

I mean, it's a very glitchy turtle and it keeps going 180' faster than Demetrios' loyalty.

I don't want to be that guy but it's been close to 2 years, how is this not hit with an Abandoned tag yet?

Because Staning tries to convince us from time to time that everything about this game is business as usual...
