Jeez...just read the whole thread and just wow haha. I have to say a few things though because some haters don't make sense. I'll start by saying i do kinda side with
Abelius on this matter . I say kinda because they're all to blame but at the same time the stuff you read just makes me lean towards him more. If you're doing 60% of the work you will and should have an ego. I don't care who you are...you do that much for a project you get to call the shots.
The fact that Abel did more in his version of the game then they're doing now with a whole ass team with them literally tells you everything you need to know. This Vlad guy seems to bash on the story that Abel made as well. I don't get it...it's a porn game end of the day. You're not Christopher Nolan trying to make this deep-ass story. You prolong the updates as well by doing this. The majority here are here for Krystal and to see Krystal getting fucked by the lizards. We saw it in the old games back in the day and we still wanna see it now.
Can you add a decent story to it all that's great. But I'm not looking for a political porn game. She crash lands on that planet. Her goal should be to survive and gather intel on the tribe and the species living there. What I always thought Abel's version of LoK was about, is that the game should let you decide how it plays out. Do you get hooked in the tribe and never wanna leave again...do you play undercover and secretly look for an escape. So much potential in the story. Vlad wants to make it more complicated for what purpose? I don't wanna see Krystal have therapy sessions until she's ready to bang. You can have the innocent act for a bit but sooner or later(more sooner) it's gotta go.
Vlad going after Abel's ego is dumb. The man has a right to that ego like I said before. If you do most of the work you get to have it and enjoy the benefits. Also, it's really not that hard to figure out if a guy is hard to work with or not. If Abel was such an annoying guy to work with, you would know that day one. I think the big conflict came from Abel telling Vlad how to do his job. Although from reading everything on here. By doing most of the work, pretty much makes you the game manager. You can't have a project without a leader it's just impossible. By firing Abel, you are now leaderless. Kuja guy can't lead on stuff he has no clue about. Neither can the writer which is a super easy job to do btw. It should take you no less than a day to finish a story or write dialogues. Especially with the money, you're making from Patreon. Yeah, I know, the whole not taking money but paying the other workers bla bla bla. Again most don't know if that's true or not but you the writer still get paid for easy work.
It's sad that the old game never got finished. I don't think there has been a single LoK game that has ever been finished really. Might be a cursed game to work on for all we know. The only one I feel bad about in all this drama/mess is Krystal. With the year-long updates for this game and whatnot. We'll most likely never get to see her pregnant by one of the lizards on that planet.
Abel, I'll be trying your new game after this post. Looks nice, can already tell that lesbian content is gonna be superb and something to look forward to just from the previews.
Side note: Can someone explain to me the whole copyright issue with the assets etc? Never really understood that whole thing. Krystal is from that Starfox game or show whatever. Making porn of a character doesn't suddenly give you the rights to that character, does it?
