Unity LOK: Rebirth [v0.1.8.0 Test] [The Tribe Devs]

[stickitinher22]

final version of the game when?

2042, same year Battlefield works out all the bugs and GTA6 comes out

 

[Staning]

That would be an awesome year. Lookin forward to it

 

[DoorFive]

If you think about it, we're not far off from the year 2042. Heck, I think we've all been around when the year passed from 1999 to 2000 with that Y2K scare. That's a moment for the history books! Such a passage of time only comes once every millennia, and we were lucky to see it.

So Staning, as I understand the scenes for now will be CG based, as opposed to in game animations. It was my belief that the in game animations, being a 360 degree spin be all-end all stop, were to be the basic staple of the pornagraphic images. But that's not going to happen anytime soon, right? When, or if we get the Galdryn (pot guy) scenes again, I wonder how it would be in CG as opposed to in game animations like we've seen before.

(Here to check up on the progress since June)

I'm honestly not sure what I expected.

To put it crudely, I think they finally got their shit together. Arimouse kicked their asses and developed a new pipe line for the team-again, to put it crudely.

I want to say it will be soon, but we can't be sure.

That's fair to say. It's no secret the dev team surrounded themselves with "yesmen". So having a firecracker like Arimouse come in and call out issues was a massive step forward for the sustainability and success for the project.

To answer your question about the CG's. You are correct. For the foreseeable future the scenes will be CG. They are not intended to replace the lewd scenes that we expect and demand from this game. They are meant to be supplemental rewards for completing tasks in future versions of the game. You will not see Potguys full sex scene arc remade in CG's. It also means you will likely see CG's that are intended to be earned later in the story progression (TLDR full blown fucking). This is all subject to change. And I'll be around to update these things as necessary.

Here's a few teaser images that were posted back in September. They showcase some of the creativity you can expect in posing for the future CG's. Heavy WIP warning.

 

[DoorFive]

Those are nice. But I wonder how many people expected a CG-based game two years ago, after my forced exit.

And please, don't insult my intelligence saying these are only"for now".

Because it was only a matter of time until they realized how hard it is to make models fuck themselves.

Playshapes did it
Seriously though, I appreciate your works before the collapse. But I'm trying to vibe here. It was horrible what the team did, tossing you out. Now you must view the work you started from the sidelines and watch whatever success or failures that accompanies them. It must be frustrating. I know these forums are for everyone, and opinions of all sorts are allowed. I don't know what you expect, but it must be somewhat liberating being able to express your dissatisfaction. I know bottling up your emotions is bad for you, so it's okay.
But what do I know? I'm just some rando. I wanted to say something about your negativity to be blunt, but it just would not be right, you know? You've every right to complain.

Edit: Your game has models fucking themselves too, right?

 

[Staning]

Abelius I will never insult your intelligence.

You picked up the pieces from a disaster. And now you are carving out a new community for a new game. And you should be congratulated. And hopefully you see more of that as time passes. People who loved your work with .8 should definitely check out Pizza Hot. And I have no qualms passing people your way whenever the opportunity presents.

You’re 100% correct. This was way more work than anyone was expecting. And here we are.

So I’ll keep lookin forward. Exactly as you did. And there will be 2 projects people can enjoy. Sure they will be different from what started back in 2017. But goddamn I can’t wait to see where they go.

 

[Tank1]

I think most struggle with this game because their isnt anything to experience yet. Without things to experience we have no way in telling if future things will be to our liking or not. Pictures and animations are nice, but they dont really tell the story. I still remember meeting pot guy and how excited I was to see where that story would lead. Until something playable is presented its as if we are in some arbitrary purgatory. Hopefully we can get something to try in the near future. I'll keep checking back every now and then!

 

[TakosMilGrau]

I'm going to leave this here and rest my case.

I'm going to leave this here and rest my case.

LISA was made in about a year, with only a fraction of Undertale's budget to boot. Actual developmental competence goes a long way, and it was obvious that Vlad didn't know what he was doing.

 

[chopolander]

The last images look really good, but, we're back to the same thing: it looks like another candy put out as a promise for children to be good.

 

[Staning]

Happy Tuesday everyone

That’s fair Chopolander. Although this is the most realistic goal pitched in a very long time.

 

[BruceMcGivern]

Not yet fucking, because of plot requirements, but yes. It's ready for that, and I came up with a better workflow to sort the 40+ separators per model I'm using.

About the negativity... I'm actually in a relaxed state right now, also due to real life matters. And to be honest, seeing how they're straying so much from the version I did... it feels kind of soothing. They're making a different game now, so they can't say it's an enhanced version of mine anymore. And if their patrons are okay with that, there's little i can say.

So yeah, I'll keep doing my side scroller, while they keep doing whatever it is they're trying to do now. With the plans I have and how I am capable of working, you won't recognize my game in a year.

If you still have the assets from your previous toxic experience with those folks and its work of yours by countless hours and such.

You should make whatever you feel like it with them and even to the point of improving them to show anyone that in matter of game development quality it is and always been from You and not them, in short words F em UP. but then again its a choice you should consider if its worth to put time on and if its a thing you want to do other than give everyone a tease of what an actual game should have be done rather than their practices of teasing the community with single images lol.

anyways i keep saying it; that team full of bad people, none of em have what it takes to handle things properly and that can be shown from their discord and the disrespect that is one of the common things to be around in a cesspool of toxicity

 

[Nikolas-Ambross]

So from what I've read from the last two pages, they got a person called Arimouse that kicked their asses back into gear.

From what I hear from Abelius, he was doing that when he was in the team. Godspeed to Arimouse, hope they don't fuck her* over too for being to controlling or something.

 

[Wallsfalldown]

I came to this thread because Vlad's long ass essay back in 2020 and I think it's hilarious that it's basically been abandoned after that. Ooooo here's a picture, we're definitely working!!!!

 

[arimouse]

Gonna reply to some people.

Animation is tough!

Heck yes. I would love to see him do it too.

If anybody could, Abelius could because he's a tremendous developer. I highly suggest you check out his new game, too. It's in similar vein and without the furry content. He's putting out amazing regular updates and he definitely deserves the love! <3

I'm no silver bullet, and I'm not exactly easy to work with either because I expect people to deliver and meet goals and create a great product.

But I'm just a person. It's the team that will make the magic happen with a little luck... and realzing some normal expectations for software development life cycles and agile delivery and development practices.




I'm not a PR person, but if you want to talk to me I'm on the discord there hanging out. I try to stir up the patron conversations too now and then and make things as fun as possible. If public isn't your thing you can PM me too and talk. Good, bad, ugly? Got an opinion? I do too! Maybe we agree on stuff! I post here too now and then.

 

[arimouse]

So I'm horrible at replying to people, but I guess I can hit you guys together here.

The last images look really good, but, we're back to the same thing: it looks like another candy put out as a promise for children to be good.

You are both totally not wrong, and justified to be upset, more-so if you are paying for the content.

I do want to say though, do feel free to be mean. Nobody is begging anybody to be nice for a while. The game has like a 1.5 star review rating here so far... I don't think the bar is super high.


But I do want to say that the team is aiming to improve. They definitely know where the line in the sand is, and it's not an easy line to deal with. It's basically like being Sisyphus except it's the aftermath, and the boulder done ran you over, and you're just looking at it from somewhere on the hill.

I don't want to tell you "OMG it's going to be so awesome just wait!", but I want you to maybe come back in a few months into 2022 and evaluate what's going on then. See if the project is starting to turn around in your opinion... share your opinion if it's not and it's still fucked and the game is literally raining on your parade except the rain is furry vomit and png files.

Before you mention it... I know, you've already given them a million chances. I know the previous version before last was some weird shit 3D version that took a year. I know we're about a year in since the last version release as well that had like 5 minutes of content.

The team knows it too.

What's changing, however, is education. Education has a couple of effects. First, it takes a while to learn new tricks. Second, it takes a while before you see the benefits of it. But when it clicks... you're going to see it and I hope it will meet your expectations.

Who knows, maybe instead of 1 star you'll leave a 2 star review.

 

[Staning]

That was a refreshing read. Since I’ve been comfortably sat in my role by Arimouse. I’ll gladly post another picture XD.

Sideview Uylani posted on 10/18/21 for supporters. (And before you ask, I was a good boy and asked permission before posting this “exclusive” content)

 

[Staning]

Also, I post under the assumption that nobody here is in the LOK discord. I just want to maintain healthy stream of content that can be reacted to. Because it makes everyone more informed. And that leads to better and more pointed responses. Good, Bad, or Indifferent.

Which brings up the next point. What should I look to pick from? Are you only interested in Animation WIPs? Technical Videos? Concept Art or Pictures? All of the above? none of the above? Let me know.

Thanks, enjoy your Wednesday. Peace and Stay Strong
