LOK: Rebirth v0.4e (updated July 26th)

[Malcanthet]

*big thumbs up* keep forging ahead. I know what even attempting to do this sort of thing does to you

[Abelius]

Can anyone link me the demo posted before with all the test gallery animations? I found it before, but it seems to have disappeared...

Here you go: https://mega.nz/#!FgdDjS5C!QxrMiY7x0gCDUFrKTwB3c5kHqO6DrMp2O0BlCKOwono

[justedufun]

Keep it up Abelius, we give you all our support and have faith on you, i know you will release this v0.1, no matter how many times it takes, it's ok And that's mean you are working hard on it to be sure your "first" playable release will be great

[Abelius]

Some random eye candy, in case you can't see it in Patreon...

In case you're wondering, she's one of the NPC that will appear at v0.1

Thanks!

Is she what the poll on the patreon is about? Tough choice. I prefer the yellow version, but I'm partial to the amber eyes of the others. I'm assuming that one doesn't have the same eye colour because it was a bit monochromatic? Coppery green skin, electrum jewellery and amber eyes? Might not work well, I suppose. Not sure why the loincloth isn't still transparent, though.

On a semi related note, I'd like to ask you if Krystal is going to get some new clothes from the natives. If she is, is it likely to be a story progression thing or some kind of job or job tier related reward?

I feel like I should compliment both of your work, but everything is so solid that I'm kinda drawing a blank. Keep up the good work? Uh, I like that the faces are fairly blunt. I mean, boobs covered in soft fur would probably be genuinely good in the real world, but an actual dogs head just isn't sexy. Does that count as a compliment?

I keep going to either the left of the right one, the middle one, just seems a not right color, I dunno.

But other then the middle one's color she looks great!

Actually, it started the other way. I put green eyes on the first two and saw it was too much green. A pity as my dream girl is a freckled redhead with green eyes.

The aqua loincloth is intended, as the yellow transparent one didn't stand out one bit.

I intended to keep her bodysuit for a while, but I admit it's not too 'realistic', taking into account she will be in a humid and hot environment. Not that it's a big issue (it's a game after all).

Anyway... yeah, she needs more clothes to choose from. Thing is, most of the current lizard clothes are pretty revealing and she shouldn't feel too comfortable at first wearing them. We'll look into that.

Also, the idea of some of them being actually 'unlocked' with specific jobs is a good one. Some of them come to my mind already. Thanks.

Kuja likes yellow the most. Me... I'll remain neutral in that regard.

/Hangs head in shame, I wasn't even looking at the eyes, now that I did, the right, most definately.

[napala]

If we had to vote, I'd say the Green one.

[Ungawa]

Not to be a leech, but I like Green. Seems far healthier than the other two tones. The haunting eyes of Yellow are indeed alluring, but when it comes to Green, the vibrancy of her skin tone makes me wanna smack dat ass...

[Abelius]

LOL...

Well, it seems that Lime will win the poll by a comfortable margin. So I've thought of making another female NPC and give her that bright green skin tone. I'm pretty positive you'll love her...

[Estherfunworld]

Wow It looks really cool ! I'll try it out.

[Archer]

Have to say that Lime does look best all things considered, though i have to say i really love those shining green eyes on yellow.
Since you said it began with the other two having those eyes mind showing what we are missing out on?
I mean its not like its unimaginable but if its not too much trouble i would like to see it.

Of course, here you go!

You see? Too much green for my taste. Even if "Yellow" is more like a Khaki green, it stands out better than in these two, imho.

Anyway, now that the poll is not going to change, I guess I could say I liked Lime best for this character in particular. She's supposed to be a dancer and the hottest girl in the village... though that last fact is questionable, considering who her BFF will be...

imo, the one on the left looks better. The design fits the color more. On another note, do you have an approximation of when the next update will come out? I'm really loving how its turning out so far.

[Abelius]

I suck at giving work estimates, and I've broken expectations two times already...

So I've taken a different approach this time. Instead of giving a date or 'weeks remaining' guess, we have a Trello board now where you guys could take a look at the tasks that are still to be done for the next version, as mentioned here:

New Trello board to track progress

Anyway, if you want a VERY rough best effort estimation, I'd say we should launch over the course of October. That is, if I'm being able to maintain my current level of dedication to the project (in other words, if RL doesn't mess with me too much).

This is a lot better than giving release dates. kinda shuts up everyone. kudos to you.

Hello, new member, and relatively new Linux user. I am running the latest version of ubuntu, and would greatly appreciate a little help regarding unzipping with ubuntu OS. I used the unrar e command to unzip what I downloaded from mega, but I'm not sure how to actually get to the exe file at this point... I tried to cd into the rar "directory" after unzipping but terminal would not let me do so; any Linux users that can help? Thank you!

On Ubuntu, your default should be "Archive Manager", which is easy enough to use from the filesystem GUI.

Otherwise, if you want to do it in the terminal, it'll be

unrar x LoK\ Rebirth\ -\ Demo\ \(e\)\ [Linux].rar
cd LoK\ Rebirth\ Demo\ \(e\)\ \[Linux\]
chmod +x LoK\ Rebirth.x86
./LoK\ Rebirth.x86

If you want to play the Windows version for some reason, install Wine with "sudo apt-get install wine", then "wine LoK\ Rebirth.exe"

Also, I'm happy to see the demo, and especially happy to see a linux demo!
