I believe that 3-1 would be the best because it’s always good to get a refresher on something different

Makes sense, but I'm pretty sure there are other games on there that use the same models and are fine. Not sure what's up with that.

LCC is two years before yes

Noah Lin

Both games used Honey Select 2 as the render engine and technically all the models are kinda copyrighted by the Illusion company,which made HS2. So steam is not an option due to copyright issues

While I understand LCC might not bring that much in terms of numbers compared to MBML. But the very fact that LCC is CONNECTED to it seems like it'd be a hole in the story at least for those of us that plays both. I'm saying this in knowing the characters of both side like to know how they're all connected when what we got in LCC doesn't tell us that so far compared to what MBML shows us.

NiiChan

So it seems 3-1 wins the poll. We'll go with that. Unless 2/3 of the Patreon count suddenly votes for the first time. XD

I would absolutely love to have LCC continue on. I fell in love with the story and it ultimately guided me to becoming a patron. I do enjoy playing MBML and it also delivers a great story but I would love to see more from LCC in the future.

I've wondered, at times, if LCC was something in the way of a prequel to MBML, as some of the story refers to past events in LCC and it seemed some of the newer or younger characters were making appearances in MBML, so I looked at them as one narrative, more or less, in two parts. We all have experience with prequels appearing or being written after other parts of the story. Like the Star Wars movies, or "The Hobbit". which was written after "The Lord of the Rings. So I have no issues with LCC being completed or continued, whenever it works for you. It will still be an excellent story and game. Any way you want to do it, 3:1 or whatever. Family first and LCC, whenever.. As we said in my generation, just "Keep on Truckin'", your way.

Just to counterpoint the other comments, I generally prefer MBML, though I didn't hate LCC or anything. I will say I started out with MBML, so the darker, much more violent content was a bit unexpected to me. Not to say there's anything wrong with it, my expectations were just colored by MBML. While I hope you do get to finish LCC at some point, MBML is definitely my first choice. I would be fine with you putting LCC on the back burner long-term.

Please don't abandon LCC entirely. I subscribe for both games and I am really looking forward to the day that they are both complete and can be played together to get the full experience of that world. I'm fine with any release schedule that works for you, but please finish LCC before you move on to other projects. Also, if it's not asking too much and you are willing to share, why can't you release your games on Steam? PS: Very sorry to hear about your family. I hope things go well for you and your brother. Family comes first.

I can feel the turmoil that you are going through. I can only imagine the full extent of the weight you are carrying. Yes, your little brother must come first, that goes without saying. I always felt that you were developing two games at once to keep your mind fresh. So you wouldn't get burned out doing the grind month after month. My personal opinion is that LCC would be a good side project. You can always bring it back later sometime in the future. Many of us (myself included) have a vested interest in LCC and would not want to see it abandoned. However, that being said, the decision is ultimately yours, I will stand in your support no matter which way you go—Good Luck to you in all your endeavors.

Well, I had been waiting on trying LCC until you were going to work on it. Given how good MBML has been, I didn't want to dive in and get excited only to find out its going to be months before another release. With the poll up, I suppose I need to check it out now so I can give a fair response.

Blue5591

I always assumed that you'd eventually integrate the characters from both games into one unified package. You already have cameos showing that they share the same setting, so you have plenty of options. It would be a little complicated as a linear narrative with so many potential LIs, but there're methods that would help utilize such a large roster of characters. I'm interested to see what you develop regardless, but I can see how managing multiple projects can be extremely challenging.

Sim

I like LCC as well as MBML very much. I really enjoy your games. I will be sad when either one of them is finished. So I would say keep LCC as a side project if that’s possible for you. Also I am so very sorry to hear about your family. That is tragic! Obviously your family should come first so you do whatever is best for your brother. All the best to you and thanks for creating such fun games.

Dreamsicle

I see, well the change in release schedule definitely seems like the best option overall.

tonymack21

PLEASE dont drop LCC entirely, if you need to go to 3-1 or something and see how that works or even just finish it after but its part of the saga and I personally like the characters even more. Doing two games at a time is hard im sure, even if LCC has to come after MBML that would preferable to abandoning it. 3-1, 4-1, complete it after, anything is better than it just dying.

NiiChan

When we make a poll, it's more likely that 3-1 cycle will win. But still, I want to know what you guys think so let's make one. I'd be happy to accept whatever it is that you decide.

Mejo702

I think u shouldn't drop it.. js. I don't think it necessary

NiiChan

In terms of planning, I have a whole team for that, so my shoulders are light. But in terms of development, I do it alone. Also, I won't make the 3rd one without finishing a project.

Solstorm

Keeping LCC as a side project(and not abandoned) is good for me. You make good games and I will still support you what ever you decide

Mejo702

W.e ur going to do, Im with it. Just dont drop LCC entirely. So Im with 3-1 release between MBML-LCC or even 3-2. JUST DONT DROP LCC. Its been a long time that I hav played LCC since before MBML & its Remastered. It deserves at least this much.

Dreamsicle

I've always felt like the development of two games at once was a little ambitious, which is also why my reaction to a third game being planned was pretty much "wtf". With that said, I think you'd lose the trust of a lot of people if you abandoned LCC completely, but I don't know just how much more popular MBML is. Also, situations change and I know you just want to do what's best.

Dayleen

I enjoyed LCC as well but i think it should continue as a side project.

xDiaburo69

I can only speak for myself. I joined mainly because of LCC and i subscribed to Patreon mainly because of that. The story is much more interesting, the characters are more to my taste and the whole concept behind it is just awesome. Personally, i'd be very sad if you abandoned LCC, because i'm actually waiting hopefully for the next chapter. Having MBML as a priority would be fine with me, since it's also a very good game that's a lot of fun and awakens a lot of feelings in you. The suggestion with the 3-1 i would find good, because then i know at least that it continues.

Vinícius Lima

Well, I don't want to see LCC just dying altogether, so if a longer wait is what it takes to keep it alive, then that's a price that I'm willing to pay. I can understand why making this decision, so all I can say is "Do what must be done."
