As someone who has been supporting this game since it's initial release, I understand where you're coming from. I'm a bit concerned myself. I don't doubt Magicnuts ability to deliver an amazing experience in the slightest, most of my concerns are around when this game will actually be finished.The time to make for this amount of contents with high quality with just two developers really impressive, and they proved that they really did focus and spend their times on this game. I even doubt this is their first game ever made. but still i hope they would hire more people to develop this game. A 5-hours play time update for half of the year is pretty damn long to me.
I say this because, the time between updates, while long, provide ample room to generate high quality content. However, viewing the world map within What A Legend, there are still so many different locations to generate content for.
We've got:
- Festive Isles
- Bowl Town
- Cin Town
- Hump Town
- Rum Town
- Floa Town
- New Capital
and there are still areas within the Old Capital that haven't been developed yet.
Even if the other areas themselves aren't as complex as the Old Capital, I can't imagine they will be able to be developed "just like that". This is on top of the time needed to create backstories for all of the side characters/love interests within the game. If Magicnuts decides to introduce new side characters within the areas we haven't explored yet, you can increase the development time even more.
I'm not saying the only alternative is a 5 year development time or deciding to cut corners, but I am concerned about whether or not Magicnuts can continue to deliver an amazing experience for such a large world and do it within a proper development time.
I think proper scope-management is going to be important for a project like this.
Regardless, we'll have to wait and see where the game goes. I'm sure the Magicnuts duo is pretty beat after working on such a large update, but I'd appreciate it if the developers themselves could weigh in a bit on this and perhaps put my mind at ease regarding this concern over development time.
