Damn, I saw this populate on my filtered list, felt very pog indeed, then I read the comments.... Fuck man. Seems we're losing another game to the mindset that they're creating enjoyable "games" without the focus on H content. I cannot stress enough to these devs that the SOLE reason there's interest in their game is the nut factor. Great animations, great art, and a lot of it. Anything else is just a cherry on top and FEW games are enjoyable enough to play without H content.

Just two off the top of my head, Alien Quest and Captivity. Both are tight and crispy side scrollers that could really stand on their own without the H features, but DAMN is that a VERY rare occurrence. Then you have games like Night of Revenge, Succubus Affection/Forest of the Blue Skin. You take the H content out of those games, and you've got yourself a free title on Newgrounds - not even a $4.99 title on Steam.

But honestly, I can't even blame these devs and I came to this realization last night - the H scene will very much not likely see titles that will knock our socks off for a very long, if ever, time. True talent is actually going to go find itself in real studios at one point in another. To top this off, this "real talent", will often be highly specialized. A god tier animator, will not also be a god tier programmer. These Triple A Titles, or even indie studios, are housed by a multitude of specialists that come together as a team to produce respectable games WITHOUT H content.

Reality is, H games are made by hobbyists that have to act as generalists to produce a product that - let's be honest - is often sub-part at best.

I just wish H game devs respected their limitations and actualized their potential by honing in on the aspects that act as STEROIDS for consumer interest - the hentai. But hey, ya know what, they may actually want to make the games they're making. They could be making games that they want to play, and that is absolutely okay.

TL;DR: H game devs may not recognize their talent/production limitations nor what the people interested in their products actually want. Cloud Meadow anyone?

Why is the main menu give good frame rates while the game itself + mouse movements are lagging a few seconds behind?

Haha, from their Patreon:
"I think it’s truly shaping up to become a AAA product and with enough love and work it can become truly great."

I don't think they try their own game out, or they have a nearly finished product and are just trolling their patrons.
Anyway, wich remake is this again? The follow up of the original remake? Or the rollback from that horrible 3D version that made nearly no proggression at all?

I'm amazed the devs are kind enough to even continue posting in this thread with how aggressively non-stop shitty it is to them.
Really commendable attitude devs to keep up work and keep trying to stay in touch with the good tenth of this thread.
They earned that ire, and continue to mount onto it.
Every now and then I check this thread and the old one for a good laugh, it's one of the only threads I keep up with on this site.
The year is 2050. Society has fallen. Only 13% completed versions of Legend of Krystal remain.
Cyberpunk 2077 released. Surely this has a chance.
Just like Star Citizen which is a more apt comparison since that thing has a bloated fuck-off donation budget and nothing's being done of substance.

Legend of Krystal: Rebirth Remake
This game is a remake from the developer team of the first series LoK: Rebirth and still under development.
*sniff* I prefer their earlier works. All of their content just became so droll after LoK: Fetal Stage. They really should have stopped with LoK: Embryo 2

Wasn’t the previous game relatively fine? Why remake? How the fuck this needs difficulty? Do they add combat now? Oh my. Yeah, that’s exactly what we need. Reminds me of that certain game with human in orc camp, which wasted like half a year reworking combat only to return to the same shit with one button spam. Or what is the difficulty for? Survival aspect? Is this gonna be ‘Forest’ but with lizard cocks?
I’m so confused.

Edit: Right. It is! combat. Fuck yeah. Just what I want. Unless devs just practice game making, I’m really confused where this is going.
Somebody, please ping me here next year, I want to know whether this game will:
A) Never leave Tech Demo stage and die
B) Enter Alpha Stage with more mature framework bit zero new content and die
C) Enter Beta Stage, otherwise known as 0.1-0.9 version, recreate same content as previous game, but! you can punch lizard men beside fucking them, and still die
D) The game will be finished. (Who am I kidding, it’s impossible)

I see where you're coming from but I think this is a very consumer-oriented mindset and you don't really understand the developer mindset at all.

For a lot of people who make amateur stuff (be it games, art, music, whatever) they do it because it's a hobby they enjoy, and often because they see themselves eventually being able to make a career out of it once they develop their skills. People want to be proud of their work, and don't want to be consigned to "only worth checking out because of the porn," even if everyone at some level understands that's what's really going on. While I haven't worked on H games myself, I imagine this is especially true for the programmers, for whom porn-focused game development must be incredibly dull at the best of times. At least artists and writers are encouraged to use the full range of their skills.

Patreon muddies the waters in a weird way, and I miss the time before amateur development was expected to come with a paycheck. I think the community would be much healthier if it viewed Patreon as a tip jar to support things you think are neat, acknowledging that they are not and will never be triple-A quality, rather than viewing it as a license to demand industry-quality products on industry-level timelines from people who can't realistically meet those expectations. That said, a lot of the toxicity in modding communities long predates Patreon: it's just the currently fashionable way for people to justify being frustrated about a project not meeting their expectations. I also think that people look at what they think of as large Patreon monthly incomes and don't realize that even the largest Patreons in the community couldn't employ a single person on a full-time industry salary, let alone the teams that generally work on the more successful projects.

I think it's also important to remember that what you often see as "bad products" and "good products" are often two sides of the same coin. Either people need to make mistakes before they make good stuff, or they need to try different things until they land on something which works for everyone (enjoyable for the consumers while being satisfying for the producers). A modding community without a low signal-to-noise ratio is more-or-less impossible.

TL;DR I get why as a consumer you'd like things to be more focused but it's best to remember that the most important features of amateur/hobbyist communities is that the whole point is that the creators are doing stuff they enjoy.

Yeah, i also did not understand why it was necessary to discard the old 2D version and switch to this isomorphic 2-3D shit, although this looking like old game, but you can move up and down. The old version was stable (many times more than this), there were makings of new content, but no, we again see a remake of the remake. Maybe to suck more money from the patrons, who knows:illuminati:

As I understand people may not read older messages, I'll write it again.
Hello! I'm one of the devs of this game. Please read:

Character quests with the Chieftain and Galdryn are not available in this release. This is a sandbox demo to show our progress in building the foundation for our patrons.

As the chieftain was not ready by the date we decided we'd release, the story ends as soon as you exit the tent.

No new NSFW scenes are added in this release, as all the effort went into making the models first, but the 4 NSFW scenes from the tech demo can be found in the new Memories section of the game.

As this was asked, we’d like to clarify that we’re not giving less space to the NSFW content, we’re preparing the ground to move on to the spicy content.

For more info give a read to our blog where we go in detail about the whole development process.
I thank you for your understanding, and I hope this can clear some confusion.
