Hey there, everyone!

This will be a very important announcement regarding the future of the project. Due to the many complaints involving the pacing of updates, lack of progress, and general lack of enthusiasm, we have decided to finally hire a team of developers, 3 in total, to help with the development of the game. We have been disappointed with the inability to deliver on promises, the lack of variety in the content, and generally with the way the game was going. The game has a massive amount of potential that wasn't being realized, and it left a very bad feeling in our collective stomachs. We WANT this game to be as good as it can be, we want an experience that will leave a player with enjoyment, not with a feeling of tedium or boredom. Our goal with this new development team is to make a game that we can be proud of making, that is a display of our talents and imagination.

The new team:
Kuja - Artist
Gizmo - Coder (Masterful code magician that has a background in game development)
Archie - Animator (Professional animator that has worked on some impressive projects)
Abel - Original Animator
VladimirRomanov - Writer/Director

With extremely helpful and talented contributors:
Voxie (Talented composer)
Van Silke
Laz3rus
Master Bolt

With the new team, we will be making many new assets (Including remaking some old ones), with better animations, bug free coding, many new gameplay mechanics, and a much larger scope than we ever thought possible before. In the long term we hope to make a very fun game for you all to enjoy. A complete and enjoyable game. The ability to do that before was not possible, now it is well within reach. We have decided to remake some of the content with the improved set of talent. In honesty the older game wasn't getting very far at any decent pace, and the version '0.8' was meaningless as we had yet to even make it past the early village stage. So to show what we can do, and give faith to our supporters, we will create a demo showing off what we as a team are fully capable of. Many of you may have concerns with this change, but we want to make it known that the pledges will remain the same, and everyone who pledged will be rewarded. We have no intention of stopping development, or cheating anyone out of hopes they have for the game.

What is planned in the demo:

Brand new Art Assets
New and smoother animations
A companion system
A completely new environment
A redesigned movement system (That uses WASD!)
Light Platforming
An inventory system showing off the new customization options New races
New puzzles

After releasing the demo, with the approval of our supporters, we will begin working on the full game itself with some revamped story and mechanics. We hope that you will continue to support us to make LoK:R, we promise that patience will be rewarded, and in time we believe you will find this the first big step in the right direction!

Thank you very much for your attention, we are working hard to bring you joy!

really looking forward to this - compared to the subverse scam artists you are actually delivering something. Maybe not at the pace people expected, but you stand to it and you act on it. looking forward to the new system

Saf

I adore this game, and the fact you are working to give us the best experience, regardless of the wait, makes me happy, don't get discouraged from those that are frustrated, and thank you for doing what you are for us.

Kingtombs456

I am looking forward to this! Just voicing my support. This is still the most concrete Legend of Krystal continuation/adaptation that's been done in recent years.

ArdenW

there trello for updates. if to look for the update now is on discord then that's bad communication

Youngslimjim

For all of you complaining about the lack of updates and Transparency... JOIN THE GODDAMN DISCORD!

BiggaNibba

like you're really not being transparent anymore and the delays with no updates on your progress especially with a new team is not helping. like i really want to see how much you making and why it took you so long to gather a team when you was struggling. most of these issues have been building up ever since you made the amount of money you were making private, and then your work ethic went down, and only respond to criticism once a month. if there no update by this month, im not supporting this project. this is just like simbro where you just post when you want to and when you do post, it half ass for the wait. i wouldn't be surprised if you abandon the project as well

Youngslimjim

I've been thinking about it for a long time . That this is the last attempt to raise money. But I did not Express such a thought. I'm willing to bet $ 10 on it that he won't respond to your comment. It would be nice if more information was published here, not in the chat. To learn something-to understand you need to scroll through the entire chat. This activity is not the most interesting.

What happened to the trello? Is this being abandoned? Sure does feel like it... my long time support is now gone. I will continue to follow and monitor this project. I hope your "demo" is actually a demo and is free to the public so us supporters who lost our faith in you can re-gain our trust. Right now, feels like a last ditch effort cash grab. Prove me wrong... at least say something...

MrBigglesworthz

It'd be nice to know what other projects these new developers have worked on so people have an idea what to expect.

N/A

You guys got this! Thanks for all your hard work.

Pulled out support, this project sounds like it will be heavily delayed going forward. Lack of communication just furthers how shaky this project is.

Is there are new trello server,it seems to be gone? Or did you remove the trello server to remove the overhype of people seeing the features,plan,progress? personally if you did i wouldt mind but like to know what happen to it :) and im looking forwards for whats next.

And the creators should just release a poll voting on whether or not they should publish 0.9 or work on the second game for this month.

I agree with the fact that they should release some type of update because I know for myself and many others who feel this way that getting nothing for what ever amount of money you are investing into this you expect something. even if it is a choppy half done update for the previous game. I personally give the creators till the 25th of this month to release something and if they don't then I take my business else where.

I'll continue to support for now. However, I also think that releasing 0.9 to everyone (at least what's been done so far) is the fairest way to go to reward everyone for supporting through thick and thin. After that, then focus on the demo and revamp the game as you see fit!

To give us something for waiting at least

I think it is better to release 0.9 first since they were close to finish it, then work on the demo.

I asked a question in discord. There will be a new game with a changed gameplay. the plot is the same but slightly redesigned It is a little scary. You need to wait for the demo version of the game ,1-2 months. To do for a conclusion to support further projects or not. (Personally, I don't want to support empty promises. The project will have to re-try very hard to regain the trust of people. ) in Diskord quite iterative discus. To be aware of the better to ask questions in the chat. And this game they thro. ((I liked the game odnorodnogo five hours of gameplay ;))

I really dont understand. Is the demo the old game continued and updated or are they beginning from scratch? Also with the things planned in the demo its sounds like it is far off

RazRazor

Can i ask when can we expect the Official release of the demo, i was waiting for the 0.9 to be released this month, so hopefully demo not gonna take too much time

I am not sure why not focus on faster development of what they have already. I think game was okay just slow at getting the content out.

Don't do revolution, only speed up evolution. Revolution are too dangerous and current state have good direction, don't risk too much.

Yea I totally agree with you @Shaliva, there have been way too many delays and excuses with the development of the game. I have always enjoyed the game and continued to support it even after such delays, but looking at how the pace of the game is going is not making me hopeful. I do like this new concept of the development but Ill stop my support for now as well

I'd be interested in seeing the new team's individual portfolios of their past works and such to get that "Everything will be fine" feeling

SupportWaifu

Hey now, even if this is a revamp, look at it this way: we have the game up to 0.9 which has quite a bit of content regardless of set backs. Even if the demo is a reboot, there will be lots of content between the two, and the revamp will be an increase in quality. I am very excited about this development and will continue to support the team.

Liam Kelly

I will stop the support for now, too many delays and excuses (Peronal stuff and business should not be mixed, usually no employee can do that and I dont think it should be different here). I guess the Demo will not be availabe before Q2 2020, so see u in about half a year.

New project and if i get it right the old stuff wont be in the new "demo", so the old progress board is senseless anyway.

Trello board seems to be done for.

SirMalo

Did they Remove the Trello?it says Error when i want to go on it?

Shingi Kame

If the demo is good im going to pledge again. I had lost faith in this project but this gives me new hope

Good luck, have fun

agreed

Chakitu

Many might be excited. I'm very cautious about this latest change. A whole new game it what this project sounds like its going to become. I've supported this project for too long to feel that continued support without a heavy proof of concept for what is to come. This is starting to feel like another project from the LoK forums where we won't see an end... and that makes me sad.

wow, a bigger team, you start to grow, some day you and your team will be more than a simple a indie game developers

wow, this warning made my day man, you know, i'm a coder too and i know how hard it should be to be developing this game all by yourselfs, and i wondered every time the game was delayed if you didn't have a team it would be better. I know quickstarters and indie games that don't have as much power as you do and yet have a whole development team. Now I'm absolutely sure that lokRe will be awesome. I'm brazilian sorry for the bad english.

Xubilugo

Let's just see what happens.

Woot! New team, glad to see you listened to the community and expanded! :D

Yes, this is a new stage in your work! Congratulations on your new team. Certainly, you should succeed, now you have a lot and it means a lot of creative potentials!

VitAnyaNaked

about time

D4n0w4r

All of that sounds amazing to me! Doubly amazing for the WASD, that was my only real complaint with the project so far.

Stan Hampstardo

Whatever you guys decide I'm excited!

This all sounds awesome to me, I'm looking forward to the demo.

I like the decision they made, the latest updates were not very good, I just hope that the changes in the game are not too , I do not know if I could get used to another design of Krys xD Good luck!!

RagDoll

Just remember to Communicate with the entire team, otherwise, this whole thing will trip over itself.

RagnaBlade

Hi Kuja.Old animations were fine hopefully there will be no drastic change in the game because I love the game even this way.My favorite hentai game.Luck be with you Kuja :)

So... is this a brand new game ? Are we gonna lose our saves ? I want to know. ( cause honestly I'll be pissed if I lose all of my progress in the 0.8, I managed to get after many hours )

Indigo

As long as the Cenvir route stays <3

Shirafune

This is getting interesting, the discord chat exploded that day xd

Makinola

Gratz on the new team members. Hope they help smooth things over.

VR AnimeTed

My sentiments exactly, I'm very interested to see how this will go moving forward. But, how will this affect the current build of the game? Will you be working to improve on it through those changes? or will you be scrapping the whole internal design altogether to start from scratch?

A redesigned movement system (That uses WASD!)............ THAT is wery interesting)))

Albatros

Hoping this isn't an entire revamp of the game you've already created

Do you have any idea when you guys can realese the demo?

Thisguy94

Sounds promising, wish you guys all the best.

Valaska

Whatever you do, you have all of our support.

Chalupa27

Good luck, looking forward to what you'll be able to create.

Lasse T. Stendan

ok

KhaMweng

welp guess a lot of interesting stuff is coming then cant wait to see it UwU)

nice

Interesting, I look forward to seeing what’s in store for us.

Tim

Normally I'm skeptical with a large change in the development team in the middle of a project, but seeing how updates were getting more sparse and the content of those updates getting less and less, I don't really see this getting any worse. My only concern is it sounds like you'll be remaking the game? That's a very bad precedent imo, and I don't think I've ever seen that end well on patreon. Endless cycles of remakes and never actually getting anywhere(see breeding season). I'll be dropping my support if that's the case.

Dumai12

Will there be an update this month?

Finally! I have been waiting for that announcement since yall removed the patreon profit counter. From reading through what I can see with code, I think having the team will help you with refining that code, there was alot of extra fluff and having the extra eyes in dev will likely help alot with that. Glad to hear WSAD is coming in and look forward to future updates!

Jesus christ, they remove the breaks from the LOK hype train. We're in for a ride boi. "But Krystal will have a harder ride,if you get what I mean."

8lack8ird

Me gusta que ahora seran mas, pero no muerdan mas de lo que pueden masticar :*

Nixon Daniel Sanchez Cascante

I think... that is a very good idea no... is a very good plan

TheSweetDemon

Sounds awesome boss man go for it

bradley feckner

Well, this seems good news. I'm already nervous waiting for that demo, and surprises me as much as the first time I saw this game, and makes me change my mind positively and convinces me to continue supporting you. I really hope so ... ;D

After a year of 1 buck of support instead of my usual 10 that I spent for quite some time, I'll gladly go back to more to finance the team ... :D

Chin Chilla

A redesigned movement system (That uses WASD!) i hope your not meaning, that i HAVE TO use wasd to move around, i liked to move around with mouse only (in fact you should add a way to open the map with the mouse too) and if your redoing some of the animations, i would really appreciative it, if all the femals breasts would wobble more XD

EaterXD

I have this feeling, that every LoK project out there is cursed to never be finished. Will this new party of devs be able to break the curse, or will they fall victim to it like others before them? Time will tell.

Villy

I guess I'll be supporting you with moneyz soon, if project starts moving.

Everdark

Sounds good, even it you have to "reboot" the game for some better ground work. But I'll keep founding if you guys keep working. :) 👍

dragongodXD

This ^

"Massive amount of potential that hasn't been realized "... it's porn. We all pay to see a blue fox get banged by lizards. It's not a "game", it's porn. Just make the porn.

HobbyBill

Great news! Really looking forward to the demo

im happy you guys are now planning on getting a team, but this is something you should of been did since you guys been having issues with optimizing and coding. i give hope for this month since i actually love this game, but this is really getting annoying. i hope you release the demo before the month end to let patrons who not impress by the the demo, a chance to cancel for they won't get billed for another month.

Youngslimjim

AWESOME

Wolfman

Gizmo who is a coder. 🤔 I wonder if they came from 3DX. Good luck to the new team!

Ashbash

This seems very promising then.
