Looking back at what started this.
The original LoK was put together by someone who thought:
"It would be nice to see Krystal getting destroyed and glazed by lizardmen."
"Maybe if I draw some shapes and play around with them, I could whip something together in Flash"
"Hmm.. Playshapes. That'll do"
Published.
Then vanished off the face of the Earth, because "I made the thing I wanted that no one was doing" is often the best approach to fulfil a niche.
Walking from left to right sex sim with titular blue fox lady, managed to birth a forum that produced 1% LoK games, 99% "Wouldn't it be cool if?" missed the point flash garbage.
The LOK Forums features nearly no LOK games. Imagine!
LoK version G is viewed as a good successor, albeit a glorified day & night sim with some animated sex loops (with no climaxes) and abit of story.
DirtyC managed to capture the left to right, defeat or be defeated sexventure.
Added costumes & gear.
A small story premise, alongside a gallery to wrap it up.
Corta's SplatFormer had a character creator to compliment the framework of sex animations already implemented.
Even unfinished, it is filled to the brim with necessary content.
There's a slew of scattered old flash animations that feature variants of the PlayShapes Krystal model, performing in every position under the sun, to a good climax.
Not missing the point of what LOK was.
Perveloper's Captivity is a solid "Playing with shapes" survival game.
It just doesn't feature Krystal.
But the "single dev plays with shapes; achieves greatness" theme is there.
Picturing Krystal fighting hordes of aggressors that reward you with cool animations in defeat, makes me wonder what the conceptual goal of combat in LOK Rebirth will be.
I am constantly blown away that anyone willing to put "LOK" in the title of their game, isn't focused on the original concept first and foremost:
> Proceed along line.
> Fight enemy; acquire sex.
> Satisfying climax.
> Gallery.
Winning, simple formula.
Writing and outdated bloat mechanics were never a focus, in a concept that utilised light ryona, defeat & domination elements.
I am surprised "Walk right; do sex" wasn't the focus for the first six months, so a decent gallery could sit there to garner praise and attention, inspiring updates for the future whilst keeping players/supporters occupied.
LOK really isn't that deep.
Blue fox. Suck dick. Big cumshot.
Where is?
I doubt anyone would complain if LOK rebirth was a legitimate remake of the original flash game, only prettier and smoother.
