because according to them "the project is being worked on"Why doesn't this thread have an abandoned tag yet?
I wanted to write something this week, but i thought it was stupid and a waste of time. Still think that, but doing it anyway this time.yeah go figure, a fully realized game with high end art, story and gameplay needs more than a year to bake.... the horror!
but the other one topped that by far.I still have hopes for the project, perhaps that is misplaced or perhaps not. I hope the project fares well and makes a great game of high quality. As most know high quality normally takes time, and most dev work is hidden away from people watching and waiting for a playable game. It is disappointing to not have anything playable and to have delays, but it is also not helpful to simply bemoan things. even if no game is made in the end, my $1 a month still sees gifs and pictures that i think are worth it.
You know most games (even ones with massive momentary support) normally take several years to make? most indie and smaller titles take a lot longer than that. Making your displeasure known is fine, I just find it odd that so many people are hating on a game that you think is never coming out. If the game is dead in your mind then why are you still focused on it?I wanted to write something this week, but i thought it was stupid and a waste of time. Still think that, but doing it anyway this time.
Do you really believe you will get a fully realized game by the next release? You think they got every art finished, a story with enough content to fill at least 5-8 hours (low for a fully realized game but the bare minimum in my eyes) and optimised game mechanics that dont need any modification in the near future, because the testing and feedback through a wide area of ppl and pcs was done or planned and implemented that good so theres no need for that?
I thought it was brazen to come here and tell some of us this crap
but the other one topped that by far.
I am not sure how long you are invested in this project, or if you follow any other creators, but my estimations arent that high. Personally i like to see some results if someone making big statements. And since the rebirth im no patreon anymore, so i dont have these high quality pictures and gifs. What i saw was the published results, the time between them and the responses that came from the devs, also a shitshow of how the original LoK:Rebirth went down.
But hey, maybe The Tribe will prove me wrong. I wrote this sentence in my last comments sincerly, to encourage the devs that even if some of us arent happy with them, we are still for the game itself. Nowadays its just a cheeky catch phrase for me in this thread, even though deep down i hope im wrong, im old enough to not believe in fairie tales anymore
Hope makes life brighter, after all, even if most of the people in this forum thread are disappointed with the game and all the story around it, they are still subscribed to this thread.Anyway, I respect your hopes. But as the one person most affected by their reboot, and knowing first hand how development of a game works, I think I have the right to tell you've placed your hopes on the wrong people. The only people making a Krystal game, yes, but that shouldn't be the main reason to be so hopeful after all this time.
Like I've said before, I'm getting my money's worth in what I'm seeing at the current time. even if no game is released.I think I have the right to tell you've placed your hopes on the wrong people.
Well, if you took your time and read, besides the 81 pages here, the other thread too, you wouldnt ask. And thats the reason why i called you out. Hell im sure you could anser that from my posts here alone, but with the other you get the whole picture.if the game is dead in your mind then why are you still focused on it?
It just hit me, after reading you guys, that all this reminds me a lot of another scenario in which people can't agree on disagree: religious talk.
It's basically like Atheists trying to convince believers that their god doesn't exist.
Isn't that funny? xD
The thing is, I consider myself Agnostic and respectful of everyone's faiths as long as they don't fuck up the lives of other people around.
And if I'm to be completely honest, they didn't fuck with anybody else except yours truly, ejecting me on the basis of not doing a good job, and them being able to do better.
But the rest of you people...? Yeah, it's like talking about Homeopathy. Self-suggestion is a powerful thing and in some cases, it even works and makes you feel better.
At the end of the day, we unbelievers and fact-checkers don't gain anything by trying to point out your faith is misplaced, because hope is a powerful emotion, and telling someone not to have faith makes us look like assholes.
So, to each their own, I guess.
My only question for you is if you'd been so patient and understanding with me if I was still at the helm of the project, and "only" released an update every 2-3 months as I did back then.
If the answer is yes, then all is good. I'll take care of my game and I'll leave you to your faith in theirs.
What demo?We have strong evidence that the development team in the new lineup may work and may create a game. Why? Well, their latest demo of the game showed that they can do it.
What demo?
You mean the one posted in... February... that they took nearly a year to produce?
No, they're not scammers. They're well intentioned people. I never said the contrary. But if your sole argument is to take that declaration from me, and turn a blind eye to the rest... well, that's cherry-picking at its best, sorry.
The whole point of my post is pointing out that you guys are clinging on the remote possibility of a future reward. Exactly the same as religious people hope for paradise in Heaven, while they're fucked in the ass by real life in Earth.
In other words: the difference between a fan and a fanatic.
I just think this has the whole fanatic fan base just because of it being a LoK game as some tv/anime has where within 10s of airing people will have given it max rateing just for it being that title or have this person in. If this wasn't a game with krystal from star fox owned by nintendo or had the LoK fan games made before it there would be a lot less die hard they will make it great or they will do something fans that just want a LoK game to be compleated.
I did want the last game to be done but it wasn't and this version will most likely not be compleated, people say it takes a long time to make games have never seen games like cut the rope or flappy birds or even any game made for game makers jam on io yes some games take a long time some of the best and most played haven't and when the game has been made and remade by people lots of times over the years and as far as I know krystal is still nintendo's IP and they have sued someone into bankrupsy over selling game emulators you do see why people would wonder why it takes so long while taking money from people for something that is owned by a company that could shut down the whole thing in a blink of an eye as lets all be clear krystal is the reson anyone cares about this
Honestly speaking, I'd just like to see an ending, either good or bad.Of course, the reasons for subscribing can be very different, but I think, that deep down - many of these people, even those who speak extremely negatively about everything that happens in this thread about the game - would like to see a good ending to this whole story.
Honestly speaking, I'd just like to see an ending, either good or bad.
It's one of those cases that is similar to an American TV show that aired too many seasons, now it just pushes seasons after seasons of nonsense, and only its first and second season was good. Now it has wayyyy overstayed its welcome, no more quality content. But the remaining makers see the "potential profit" it can produce, so they won't just give an ending or just cancel it completely.
Worst part is, this has been rather "Off-air" and is just giving teaser after teaser. Season 3 "Krystal becomes 3D" was shit before it even came out, and Season 4 is "still in development" because they want to "make it better?" and this *show* has been a dry barren wasteland through a period of... 2 years and counting?
This might be an inaccurate metaphor, but it has been reeking for a good while.
I'll admit this is cold, but if a game comes out, great, that's good news; if one doesn't and this team has to cancel production and disband, or anything of the sort, also sweet, no more nonsense to put ourselves through.
I just hope an "Episode 1" would come out soon, and then we can judge that. (That demo is nothing close)
P.S. I still think this thread needs an abandoned tag XD
Yes, they screwed up a few times after they stopped working with you. There was a feeling that for a very long period they did not know what they wanted to do at all, and this was one of the main reasons why I thought they were scammers. Fortunately, they are not, and they really want to create a game.The only thing I know is they've been more time than me already, in charge of the project.
That should sum up the situation pretty well, no?
Surely on 8 years so i guess that's a motivator for the tribe devs lolBut time will tell
Praise goes to the one who deserves it, and for this post (despite the usual soonish) you deserve some. No ranting and accusing (thats our job to be honest), realising whats the main problem (nothing to show), and a solution (and again, please make your next release good enough to shut me up at least, we would both profit from it)Been a minute since I showed up here, I couldn't handle the negativity. I just wanted to say you are all free to speak to me on discord, where I shall respond as often and as early as I can. It is easier for me to answer questions there in real time.
We post progress updates regularly, yes it has been a long time, yes we messed up early on in development. But regardless, we continue on developing what we hope will be a good game.
It would be a massive waste of my time and an endless uphill battle to correct all of the incorrect information I've read here, so I'm not going to bother. For better or for worse, I shall allow our progress to speak for itself.
The update will be releasing relatively soonish, it will contain several sex scenes, more environments, and some things to do with Vanlen, as well as some more story. After this update, we plan on doing smaller more frequent updates, as we continue to work on our pipeline. Taking this long to release an update was more of an issue of a sunk cost fallacy "Well it has been so long, we should add more content" which then compounded on itself.
