Ren'Py Abandoned What a Legend! [v0.6.04] [MagicNuts]

[JJohns2049]

They've already officially deep-sixed their own world lore and the promise of gaining multiple cool powers after banging magical chicks ie the one truly unique idea they had. Current prevailing theory: you will get powers from Madeline Goldenbush and Princess Serena and that's it. Madeline's power will be used in a few plot cutscenes and Serena's will be relevant to an endgame cutscene since she will be Final Girl. And that will be it.

It will fall to fan modders to someday add in all the cool powers and magical girls and branching storylines and puzzles that could have been.

I think they will go for a long time. Unless the lose interest. If I were them, I would have already been largely finished with the final part. So during updates, doing story line and 'modelling' (for so far you model for hand drawings for the final part. If they lose interest, they could just put up the final update.

Nothing more terrible than a game without an ending.

But of course, no Idea. I also wonder how there kids will look at it, when they are between 10-15 years old. At one moment they will find out what there parents have been up to...

Early Q1 2025 is my guess. They'd have to accelerate the current pace to even finish polishing phase by mid October. And they've already hinted that playtesting will be another two months. Don't expect it for Christmas.

Not true. Playtesting (as in sending the update to the betatesters after everything is completed at least) never took more than a week. And they never hinted this time will be different

True, but you're still making the effort of getting them and posting them here. So kudos for that.

And also...

In the latest Patreon's weekly report, devs said they'll probably give an estimated release date in about 2 weeks.

I'm not a native English speaker, but as far as I understand it, an insectivore is someone who feeds on insects. A bug is an insect, and the production of this game is full of bugs, so anyone who is an insectivore is well fed. I got the joke, but I didn't find it amusing.

Ah, so that kind of insectivore.
Guess I got wooshed.

This aggression will not stand maaaan!

2 tasks left for a year are crazy.

Now that would be really good news!

Didn't they say it would be out by now?

No. They never gave any estimation, that's why this comment is so relevant

!PROBABLY!
In any case, they won 't say anything good

 

[creeperawmann]

kinda of annoying that this 2 year wait for an update is for the orc character lol literally anyone else and i'd be hyped

 

[diras2010]

I'm keeping my hopes low, the dev is doing like 10 lines of code a day, apparently, the percentage grews by .01 per day, and the remaining counter sometimes go up 1 or 2 whole numbers a day as well

Is really sad, I mean, the game has an absurd level of quality, and yet, they fell off the face of the earth, if they are burnt out, why not come out clean and call it a day? or they fell for the STS syndrome, where they put the least effort possble and keep milking their supporters, because that quite a shitty thing to do

Lets tone down the negativity. I'm happy we're about to get an update. i've been looking forward to it for a long time.
Lets go orc girl! She's hot af

My guess is they've finally started working on it again/are nearing the completion levels they claimed to have back in January. That was right around when Nuts said it would be done in a couple of months, as I recall.

I really, truly don't believe a word these guys say, but even if I did. A month or two for 'playtesting' is ridiculous. Triple AAA studios launch entire games that play for dozens of hours (BG3) with less play testing. This is a single chapter of a completely linear, Ren'Py game. You could test it in a day with time to spare.

Kinda agree.

If the next update will take as long, its maybe better to say "hey guys the orc one will be the last and were finishing it here. Thanks for the great times, were closing our patreon".
