Hi everybody.
This week's report will be short, and the only bit of news we have is that we have passed 90% completion in doing the main content of the next release, which is super exciting!
Weekly report:
Chestnut and I worked according to the plan and have edited everything leading up to the second sex scene, which includes drawing cutscenes, new hands, and the sex art, as well as writing new dialogues, coding them in, and posing and animating a few elements from cutscenes leading up to the sex. I'm almost done with the sex animation itself and plan to have the frames ready for tonight. I think it looks neat and I hope you'll like it too. Chestnut will spend tomorrow and the day after that fixing the frames, polishing them, and drawing bodily fluids. Then I'll add the final version of the images in the game files.
Next week's plan:
As soon as we're completely done with the second sex scene (probably Sunday), we'll test and plan changes/improvements for the events leading up to the third sex scene. Our plan is to have the third sex animation and everything before that ready by the next weekend.
That's all.
Have a wonderful weekend
Cheers
P.S. Since we're working on the sexy stuff or scenes that are very spoilery, it's been a bit difficult to record videos to share. But there will be a video tomorrow, Saturday.

Indeed I can't. It isn't for my tier, sorry.

No apologies necessary bro namath. Appreciate everything you do.

Question: can you play this fullscreen on secondary monitor?
My main monitor is portrait mode for work stuff...
Is there maybe an .ini or something I can tweak?

Hi, woman with a rape fetish here, who is also a survivor. I don't wanna go too deep into it cause it's super off topic (WaL isn't going anywhere near there, despite my criticisms of it not being perfect on the subject of consent) but the rapebait genre presents a false reality around what rape is, why it happens, and under what circumstances (hint, almost all rape is performed by someone the victim knows and trusts), and this false narrative is ultimately one that protects the rapists in real life from consequences. (Not the only factor, of course. But that people don't believe you when you tell your story unless it matches The Narrative they expect is a pretty major one.)

That's the main reason I call it misogynist. I still get off to it anyway, so. Just because it appeals to folks like me doesn't mean it's not built on a misogynist framework.

I think I missed the previous conversations but what exactly do you consider to be misogynist? Just curious.

Love the game.
Usually I never play the 2D games but this here really has amazing art that makes up for it. Very sexy.

 

[Valamyr]

Yup love the art style for this one its really one of the best for this.

Dialogue's a bit too goofy for my tastes so far, but nothing horrible. Enjoyable.

Honestly, the dialogue is one of the highlights of the game.
Consider other games where the writers "think" they're funny, only its not. Its not funny, it's cringe-inducing.
But What a Legend does well is combine humour with sex in a way that works. They've kept it simple, there's a joke in almost every scene and it never comes across as cringey or creepy.
What a Legend is one of the best games on this site thanks in part to the quality of its script.

 

[Valamyr]

Obviously, it depends on your sense of humor and what you're looking for. I prefer themes to be a little more serious than goofy, and a MC who has a solid head on their shoulders, you know? I can deal with mildly goofy, but to me so far (and I only played a short time) it's not a particularly strong point. The art however is quite exceptional.

To each their own, ofc.

frequency of update?

Very slow

Oh my god, the nagging about NTR has begun again. Play this beautiful game and compliment the developers, instead of trying to discuss that damn topic in every fucking thread...

I think it helps that they're clearly native English speakers. No Engrish or awkward machine translation, so the dialogue sounds very natural.

I'm pretty sure the dev team is from Spain *checks the About section on the website* yep, they're from Spain, so not native speakers. Which makes it all the more impressive.

Oh really? I wonder if they just *live* there but are from, I don't know, UK or US. magicnuts speaks an incredibly good English, and I'd be doubly impressed if it wasn't their native language.

As far as I know, both of them are from Spain and still live in Spain. They probably lived abroad some time during their lives, though. And I think I once read he' was an English language teacher, which should explain this 'mistery'

 

[Viressa]

English is the lingua franca of the entire world and highly fluent second language speakers are extremely common, especially in major cities and especially in western europe. Meanwhile, you'd be quite surprised how much bad dialogue is written by native speakers.

It's basic writing skills, not some unusually high level of fluency in the language.

Oh man, the number of 'they're/their/there' being misused on the internet... is goddamn high!

I cry every time I see 'should of'. Luckily no mistakes like that in this game.

I really really like this game. It is one of the best erotic games, period. Very few other games on this site come close to its quality.

But questioning the pace of updates is reasonable. Don't get me wrong, I fully understand and respect that quality such as this does take a long time. That's just the reality of it. But the reality of it is that this game is very ambitious and at the current pace it will take an extremely long time to be completed. As I understand this, this next update has taken six months, and the majority of the content is limited to one girl.

The current planned content, at least from what's suggested in game, is huge. At the current pace of the games production, it will take years to complete the content for just the girls already in the game, let alone all content in Old Capital, let alone let alone content for the entire map. I don't think it's unreasonable to suggest at the current pace of production, the game will at least a decade to complete all its planned and suggested content. While the speed will increase as a rhythm is establish and less brand new assets need to be created, unless production is somehow drastically improved or scaled up this game is going to take a very very long time to come anywhere near completion. This is to say nothing of potential burnout either.

I don't mean to be negative, mostly just trying to be realistic. Regardless, the game is extremely good and I wish the devs all the best in their endeavour.

 

[bogodit]

Very slow

It depends on what's being done, but yeah most of the times it's slow (better than being rushed and end up being a turd).
