Legion Saga DX is going Commercial!

Happy New Year to RMN and Game Devs!

At the end of November I hinted at an announcement for Legion Saga DX. Things had slowed down in the second half of 2018 after most the mapping was done because I started to talk to Matt Glanville (formerly known as Kamau) about Legion Saga DX after a fan on his discord had asked if the remake was going to be commercial or free.

Matt approached me with the same idea that I had I thought about approaching him with when we got closer to being complete. Matt had considered doing a commercial upgrade on the original LS by replacing graphics and music (you know all the old ripped stuff) early on in 2018 called Legion Saga HD. He ultimately decided that it would be a lot of effort so he shelved the idea.

We are teaming up to take Legion Saga DX commercial! That's right, not only did we get permission to take the game commercial, but Matt is joining the development team. The original creator of Legion Saga is coming back to do some work on Legion Saga DX! We've already started smoothing out the storyline and sharing ideas for several things.

I will still be leading the development team focusing on the writing and eventing work, but Matt will be consulting on the world of Legion Saga, game development, and the commercial industry plus helping with the eventing/programming work as needed.

This is pretty exciting for Deckiller and I.

Funny that you mentioned that. Since I spoke with esby and you a few months ago about the things to get permission to use the maps in the commercial version. We have discussed things further... I'll talk to you guys about it as we get closer to a release. :D
Heck yes. I'm super excited for this! Are you going to do a Kickstarter or something, or just straight commercial?
Ha, that’s awesome; you even managed to get the old dog out of retirement in order to help you out. That’s pretty cool! That’s usually something you don't hear of everyday.

I wish you guys luck on this going commercial.

So what did DX stand for again? If it is going commercial then why not just make it Legion Saga considering Kamau is onboard now & no one will really know it’s a remake for the most part?

That’s awesome though having the OG come back!

DX is a phonetic alliteration for 'Dicks'. There's going to be a lot of hentai included in this version.

Nice to see that you announced it! 2018 was a busy year for this game for me, having made between 200 and 250 maps as well as the foundations of the battle system. It's nice to see that work pay off. Hoping for an equally productive 2019 for the game. It'll be exciting to see how Arc develops the foundation we placed in 2018!

You did all that? So what exactly does Arc do then? It’s not like it’s his story or characters to begin with so I’m genuinely curious.

Probably just makes poor Decky work for minimum wage and takes credit. No wonder he got divorced three times, the madman!

Pfffffttttttt. Arc's done a LOT. Probably twice what I've done overall when you consider things like eventing, ALL of the groundwork, and reworking the scenario, plus he's done like 50-100 maps himself. It's not a pound-for-pound retelling; there are a lot of new sequences and reworkings and Arc has been the architect of a lot of that.

I just make maps lol. And a little help with the battle system. Everything else is on Arc.

It's not a small game. It's easily gonna have 350 maps alone.
I am the bank roll, obviously. Who do you think paid for all the extra plugins and graphics? It wasn't charity work. Several thousand dollars has already gone into the project.

There were also maps made before Deckiller got involved in the project. Who do you think said "These are the maps that I need. This is the story in this area." I also do all the fine tuning on maps when I am putting in the NPCs, dialogue, and cutscenes to make them flow better.

Additionally, while Deckiller made the foundation of the battle system as he has way more experience with RPG Maker damage formulas and boss fight mechanics. I had to work closely with him on the actual design. It isn't like Deckiller was working in a void. "This is how I want the game to play. These are the type of abilities I want to see, etc etc." had to come from somewhere.

I managed the actual project workflow, deadlines, and such within the various people that have worked on the project too.

Additionally, the story and characters have been greatly expanded so it isn't like I just copied the original events and dialogue. I reorganized the flow of the storyline so that it makes more sense, had to fill in the gaps in the plot holes, added my own characters, and extra things to it in the game.

I researched every corner of the internet to dig up the old lore from the games so I could fit some of the lore from the later games back into the original story.

So I actually take quite a bit of offense (barring people that I consider friends that I know are just shitposting me) to such a loaded question. There quite a bit more to the game then maps, damage formulas, and bosses.
hey i want money too

i have no claim on this, but i just want in

Shit. Was I supposed to pay him minimum wage? And don't over-divorce me... it was only two, officially!
