I it funny that the vast majority of Patreon supporters voted for longer releases over quicker releases, yet the main complaint I see them getting from non-Patreon supporters is that the updates are too slow. I wonder if they had went with quicker updates would people just be complaining about the length of content in each update instead?

I have a feeling it's just one of those situations where you'll never be able to please everyone.

When you extracted the game, could you have put it in a folder with a name containing some "funny" character such as apostrophe or else with an extremely long name?
no i extracted it to a folder called "to be moved" thats it no odd characters

D:\to be moved but yeah. could that be it? is it grumpy its not on c drive?
No, just an example. What about your windows user name, does it have a non-roman character? or something with a tilde or accent or anything?

This guy's complaining, but I'm genuinely curious, what is everybody else playing in the meantime?
Lately I've been playing Baldur's Gate 3, interspersed with some Street Fighter 6 and Titanfall 2. This will keep me busy for the next months...

Yes, I get it - the guy meant other erotic games. Well, I can wholeheartedly recommend Pale Carnations, which is tonally the polar opposite of "What a legend" but the quality shines through. If you're into lighter romps, I can suggest "My Pig Princess" and "A house in the rift". Your mileage may vary, of course.

But even so, if you're only interested in porn, these games will last you some hours, and then you're back to square one. Erotic games are a niche, quality erotic games are a niche of a niche. That's why the sanest approach is not to keep track of them minute by minute, but to savour them. They're a delicacy, in a sense - and I personally wouldn't want an entire meal to be made by delicious desserts.

I'll just leave this here :

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
That would be better aimed at Summertime Saga. The release of 0.6 Rosa and start of 0.7 Gamira started after development of Summertime Saga's Tech Update but What A Legend is now at 80.4% but Summertime Saga is at 82% despite the extra time they have had. To give dates 0.6 Rosa was released July 2022 and Summertime Saga's Main Story Part 3 (not counting "pre-Tech Update" patches) was released March 2021. So despite development starting 16 months sooner What A Legend is about to overtake them on the progress bar.

So a 2 person husband and wife team working full time and having a baby in the middle of developing the largest content patch for What A Legend yet is progressing faster then Dark Cookie's 7 person team.

The picture is still funny though :)

nope just the normal letters.
That is really unusual. It sounds like either your game folder or appdata folder is either set to read only, or hidden, but that is just a guess. You could try moving the folder, and trying again.
You could also check the save folders and see if either of them have saves or if they are read only, write protected, or hidden.
...What-a-Legend-0.6-pc\game\saves
or
C:\Users\{your name here}\AppData\Roaming\RenPy\Inventory02-1551646067

what a outstanding game…
graphics 10 out of 10
Story 10 out of 10
progress 1 out of 10 or 0
Game is good but add
Something new or unique that make this game even better ……like female protagonist or gender bender things or some NTR
No, if thats what you want you are looking for another very different game. Go look for ntr and female prot games somewhere else.

Weekly report 175
Hi, everybody.
I hope you've had a great week and are ready to enjoy your weekend. Here's a summary of our work since the last report.

Chestnut:
She wanted to start drawing the sex scenes but got busy with one of the more complicated and multi-stage cutscenes, which took up most of her time. Many of the cutscenes that are done will require edits later (in addition to different variations often involving sprite expressions), but their main art is progressing well.

Pistachio:
I posed several dialogues (part of larger events) and made some changes to the code as well, adding interactions and elements to make longer conversations more engaging.
A note about the posing tasks of Gomira's second quest: although I have posed a lot of dialogues from Gomira's second quest, I feel like I still haven't reached the halfway mark for the scenes of that quest since I have mostly focused on the more straightforward stuff to keep things moving. I'm clarifying this because if you have been checking the progress tracker, you will have noticed that I have been needing more posing tasks than I had estimated.

Next week's plan:
Chestnut wants to continue work on some of the earlier cutscenes (and possibly record them), and if all goes well, she will start the base for at least one of the sex scenes.
I will try to get the dialogue I'm working on in a satisfactory shape, and then pose it and move on to the next text.

That's all, folks.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Cheers

This one is really conflicting for me. I love the art style overall, and it seems like it has a lot of promise. On the other hand, it's way too nicey nice and your choices mean squat so I am a little confused... What is the point in having it be this open world setup where you can go where you want when you want and choose what to do, when in reality you are forced to follow one set path? The whole "don't worry which choice you click the story will just force you to make the right choice anyways" aspect is mind-boggling to me. If that's how you feel then why bother, why not just remove the dialogue choice boxes and have it be like an interactive book?

One thing I think the game sorely lacks is some darker paths available to the player. For example:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

Those are just a few ideas but you get the point... as it is now, the game plays kind of like a Disney movie that someone creepily added porn to, it's a little weird... It is an H game after all...

Since most of your doubts and concerns have been already addressed years ago, let's go with a brief summary:
  • Not meaningful choices -> having meaningful choices leading to alternate scenes and branches would expand the game scoop far beyond what the devs are actually able to produce. The way they are currently implemented, though, devs think they add some humor touches and break the click-click-click boredom of a kinetic novel. Some players find it funny to pick an option and try to guess how that choice is going to be reverted.
  • Dark themes/kinks -> sorry, just not dev's cup of tea. Look for that content somewhere else because that's not going to change.
  • Character's content -> the way the game was developed, some characters were introduced with a brief quest, like Maple or even Holly. The original idea was to release smaller updates that would have expanded those characters' arcs little by little. However, after 0.3 patrons voted for larger updates focused just on one character each, and that's why Myrtle and Rose have already a full story while Maple's current content ends abruptly. It's still planned, but it just has to wait.
