I did not tag anyone in particular because the issue of mistagging had been raised by others before.The "person" is me. It's ok to tag me, by the way. If you want a discussion, that is.
While there are no rigid definitions (which is true for any genre, but more so with sandbox), sandbox games have some defining features and gameplay patterns that Legend decidedly lacks at least right now, and so anyone expecting those will not find any them here, repeating for emphasis, right now. We could go over the list of these patterns if someone's interested. So this isn't about a certain % or absolute amount of content being available in the first version, but rather some mechanics being at least somewhat functional.
But those were several weeks ago, and we hadn't give it much thought since.
After reading your review, we agreed that the tags might be misleading. Overpromising and appearing to be using sleazy promotional tactics weren't what we had intended. So thanks for pointing it out, and I'm sorry if you felt misled.
On a different but related topic:
We also agree with some of the other issues you pointed out:
- The bland writing of the sex scenes was a complete miss that several members here had raised as well. We have already added more writing for 0.2.
- Our world may appear too large to be realizable. But designing it and coming up with stories to make it come to life is what we've had the most fun doing. It has been one of our biggest motivators. You have a valid point, but game-dev could be tough, and we wanted to make the process as enjoyable as possible.
Thanks again for taking the time to raise these issues. Hopefully, it will help us improve the game.
