My arbitrary highlights:
- Hunger system done
- Basic male movement (idle, jump, walk, run) for each direction done
- Sek skin in Spine with clothes
- Picking sticks is back ya peeps!
- Cooking minigame is done *gets chef hat out*
- Recolor of Kay was achieved successfully in Spine, so both the classic look and the default one will be available.

To answer briefly, yeah I heard Gizmo wants to move on to combat this week (a very basic version of it) so it should be a thing.
I'm among those who like to have actual gameplay in games, interesting read and list of recommendations!
Yeah slow corruption is nice it's of course still going to be a thing, that hasn't changed!
When I said we'd be working to get sex in game as fast as we could, I didn't mean you'd get it too easily, it's still going to be a game and we like to have you feel like the scenes were earned! As for the tuning, that's not my area of expertise but we'll definitely work on getting a good balance, which is why we want to have different levels of difficulty

Have a happy new year!

Oh boy, another update that has nothing to do with porn. Even the trello is soring lacking in anything tantalizing. It's like you guys are the complete opposite of the Wildlife devs in regards to priorities.

D4n0w4r wants a porn game, but only with porn. Walking animations? Not needed! Idle animations? For what!? Create clothes for characters? Useless! Character customization? No thanks!

Ah... I know. D4n0w4r probably doesn't want a porn game, he wants a porn gallery.

I already replied to this, let me stitch the two together once again:

We're not giving less space to the nsfw content, we're preparing the ground to move on to the spicy content.
It goes like this: to make the porn scenes we need to have the models, so we're making the models first.
The models happen to also need the basic animations so that they can be found around the world, so you can fuck them, so that needs to be done, you know. So we're doing them. There were protests in the threads because we privileged the sex over the basic movement for the first tech demo, and now that we're fixing that you still protest? lol. There really is no way to make everybody happy. Anyway they're being done, they had to be done, and they'll be over soon.

To recap we're following this pipeline: drawings -> rig -> meshes -> basic animations -> kinky sex.
Let's not forget the code side of it: project basic logic -> dialogue system -> ui -> actual dialogues -> logic to have the dialogues work -> importing the sex scenes -> sex scenes in game. orrrr something of the sort, I'm not a code mage, just a humble animator.

Basically, what I mean is: We're working to make that happen, even if you don't recognize those efforts as part fo that goal, that's what they are.

I understand you may have felt it was weird that for the last weeks no NSFW content was a highlight. It's still our priority, but I hope this explanation can help you see the bigger picture. I'm placing all the boner bones in place, worry not. Dicks work, boobs are bouncy, their time to shine will come. Heck, even fish lore puts the ground for tentacular porn XD

Think about it: We reduced the number of characters we're working on to deliver a new demo faster. We're reducing the initial location to deliver a demo faster. We're cutting the first part of the story to get to a complete little demo faster. We're literally doing that just have faith, please! We're literally working towards that.

You'll see this kind of highlights for I think 2-3 more weeks then the tune will change. You can't have a game without backgrounds, the characters, the controls, the dialogue system in any case. so this literally just had to be done.

TL;DR: we are working towards sex, but there's like a whole team working on the game, so if a task is done people are still adding stuff, you should either be happy about it or just ignore it, in any case it's not taking anything away from you. This is the shortest route to the goal, trust me.

We're not giving less space to the nsfw content, we're preparing the ground to move on to the spicy content.

Please read. That's the answer.

be frustrating for you. How
about a Haiku?

The end game is nice,
Can't wait for all the content,
Give that foxy spice.

Don't bother with all the sex addict in here.
Take your time, make a good game. You're doing great.

Pikant, Despite that I'm a member of your discord channel and can see all this posts, I should thank you for keeping us informed about all development news. I think it's a good thing, even if most people here are negative towards this news, it's shows good attitude from devs towards players and proof that they care.

- Picking sticks is back ya peeps!

I must say, this news give me Vietnam flashbacks

To answer briefly, yeah I heard Gizmo wants to move on to combat this week (a very basic version of it) so it should be a thing.

That's a really good news. Possibly the second thing after sex scenes which I really eager to see. In first game were no signs of actual combat, so this thing is new to this game, and it can both spoil the game or greatly diversify it, depending on success, so fingers crossed.

Have a happy new year!

Thank you, have a Happy New Year you too.

I am a bit confused still, is K still starting on the ship like the last version or was the snake/demo the start to the new game? Still a bit confused what to expect from the end product, anyone got any info?

 

[MrCrazy123]

I don't have an answer but I hope they skip the ship bit for now. It didn't actually do anything or change anything in the previous version. It promised to have activities on it eventually but like, why would you want that?

Once you get off the ship you can't get back on so none of the activities can be revisited or have any long lasting game effects, and think of all the dev time it would take to add an entirely new set of assets, and coding, and minigames or w/e for something that couldn't be revisited and didn't matter past the first 10 minutes of play.

Makes much more sense to just start with the crashed ship if the game follows a simliar storyline as the previous version (aka trapped in a strange village and forced to work for a living while she tries to find a way to leave)

 

[DoorFive]

I think K will start on the ship, but for demo purposes it is being skipped until the area can be developed further.

 

[Elder Drake]

What the hell is all this pointless bloat being added to this.

Ah YES, it is time to play my favorite porn game, Legend of Krystal Rebirth for it cooking mini game and hunger system. Like you guys basically started over from an already shit state and havent learned anything from the flaws of the previous version of the game and instead are wasting time on pointless things that add nothing to the experience. You're making a porn game, if you want to make an actual game then make it but side lining the actual NSFW and focusing on pointless bloat is just going make people lose even more interest in this project then they already have.

 

[MightyAltroll]

Havent visited the thread in a while, but as an old but not current patreon I must say I am still a bit confused as to the direction of the game/ what the end product is going to be like. Pikant's response I felt was helpful as to what they are doing, but I still just have literally no idea what the end result is going to be. Forgive me if this is in a previous post or on the site, but I think some effort should go into that more. I'm not saying make promises you may not be able to fulfill, but just talk about what the story might be, what things there will be to do, give a small bit of lore so we can make a bit more informed decisions. Might not help the overall crowd, but I feel it would help me a ton. Again, going to catch up, sorry if this was previously delivered.

I have explained the story previously on the discord in spoilers, people ask me questions there all the time. For you I shall condense the story and give you the highlights:

Spoiler: Condensed story

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

I would agree with that. i didn't particularly enjoy some of the grinding like having to go pick up sticks or anything, however I did really enjoy seeing Krystal slowly come to enjoy her place in this society.

Note: not that she was forced to sex and hated it, but that she reluctantly agreed at first to get something she wanted, started to realize that she liked it, and then wanted to explore all the options available to her.

I'd love to see that sort of idea expanded on. Non-con isn't my thing but having more sexual acts open up and seeing krystal really enjoying them was quite exciting for me.

You could easily imagine it getting more and more deviant if the game had been run to completion, the huntress character talked about lewd flora and fauna that existed out in the wild. I could imagine krystal going out in the jungle explicitly to find something exciting to lewd her when she had completely given herself over to this new lifestyle.

That is a very big focus for us, making the sex feel natural. Over time she'll start to realize that there are no social consequences for her here, on this world. It is primitive, no one she knows, and there aren't the social stigmas or judging eyes upon her. So she can do whatever she wants.

But as stated, we want it to also feel realistic. There are many dangers on that world and she'll have to be careful.

Don't bother with all the sex addict in here.
Take your time, make a good game. You're doing great.

Thank you, we appreciate it.

The sticks will serve a different purpose now, and you'll get more sticks per 'pick up'. They serve as fuel for the cooking minigame, and cooked food will grant you better buffs, as well as earn you money.

She will start on the ship eventually, but we have decided we want to quickly catch up to 0.8's content, and go from there.

I don't have an answer but I hope they skip the ship bit for now. It didn't actually do anything or change anything in the previous version. It promised to have activities on it eventually but like, why would you want that?

We are going to skip the ship for now, but in the future there will be far more things on the ship to do, including a couple lewd encounters.

I think K will start on the ship, but for demo purposes it is being skipped until the area can be developed further.

Pretty much.

 

[Elder Drake]

Yeah, you want to focus on getting back to where the previous game was, thus why youre wasting time on cooking mini games.

 

[Gohan007]

So the kitsune's gone? Boooo

I loved the haikus XD thanks for sharing them

Thank you for the appreciation Q.Q

(also yay for 2020 ending today!)

pointless things that add nothing to the experience.

Sorry you think they'll add nothing to the experience, but it is your loss

As explained several times, we're not "wasting time" but parallelizing, throwing in extra stuff while waiting for art.
Please read my other posts for detailed clarification, I'm not gonna quote myself over this for the third time.

Kuja, the main artist, is still working on making the models at several angles. No model no kinky sex.

I see Vlad replied to the others. I wish you all a wonderful start of the new year, and thanks for your interest in the game we're making!

Yes. Only they will be presented in a far more subtle and ‘over time’ fashion.

Thank you MightyAtroll! Appreciate the information it answered alot of my questions. I am not a discord fan, but perhaps I'll reconsider using it.

Corrupting kitsune babe sounds more appealing than eldritch alien entity tbh.

That's a funny way of saying you're just buying for time since you have nothing to show for the parts of the game 90% of people actually care for, so adding this at least gives the idea you're actually accomplishing something, when well you really aren't.

They're being very transparent about the work being done (trello, weekly updates, pics in the Discord, daily streams, etc...), and working as much as possible with the funds they have. Perhaps the game they make is not what you want and expect, but don't be an asshole by accusing them of doing nothing. If that was the case, I doubt the number of patrons would have increased in the past year. Pikant is a very nice person and doing as much as possible for the project. And tbh it makes me sad to think the devs have to go through messages like yours (which they're not forced to do, if I was them I think I would be way less patient wih the toxicity in this thread and would not come here at all), because they love their project and do everything possible to make it work.
