It's Greenlitten!

They're onto Kickstarter on Nov 16.

KICKSTARTER: 16 NOVEMBER 2016

We knew from the beginning that we wanted to involve the community in the development of Legrand Legacy, but we also wanted to wait until we have something solid to show to prove our commitment and capability.

Through our Kickstarter campaign, you will see new exclusive images that have never been released to the public before and get a rare glimpse of what happens behind the scenes. You'll also get the chance to actually BE FEATURED IN THE GAME and to snag some cool limited edition merchandise that we have prepared especially for our backers.

Who knows, if we make it past our main goal, we can even do things that are currently on everyone's wish list, such as porting to PS4, live orchestra recording, and other cool stuff that will make the game infinitely better. This is the best time to let us know what YOU wish to see in Legrand Legacy. We hope that you will embark on this journey together with us!

xoxo,
The Legrand Legacy Team

Steam Greenlight.

LEGRAND LEGACY is an exciting new PC game that blends classic JRPG components with modern mechanics, hand drawn visuals, and a twisted plotline. Developed by a troop of Indonesian indie gamers who are dedicated to their craft, this single player RPG boasts a unique turn-based combat system with Quick Time Event, large scale wars, and an intricate crafting system.

If you’re a fan of Final Fantasy, The Legend of Dragoon, and Suikoden, OR if you simply miss the nostalgic JRPG experience of the 90’s era, this is the game for you.

Here's some of the main features of the game:

• Unique turn based combat system with Quick Time Event (aka ACT – Action Circle Tempo)
• Live2D system – Characters’ emotions are expressed in detail when they’re talking so players can understand what the characters are truly feeling.
• 2D hand painted backgrounds with 3D models resulting in a beautiful mesh of a 2.5D artwork
• Fully rendered 3D cinematic
• Castle Building (and recruitable NPCs)
• Large Scale War Battle System

Some screens:

good find

Music is pretty hype. Not... entirely sure I feel the animations or not (or the setting for that matter) but... I'll keep my eye on this (at the very least).

I do get some Legend of Dragoon vibes from this though (with what seem to be timed button attacks).

So, Shadow Hearts 4?

Voice acting needs a little work, looks good otherwise.

Hello, dev here. Thank you OP for sharing. Feel free to ask me anything

 

[Fou-Lu]

Game looks really cool. I am all for supporting it, my own dream is to make a game like this one day.

Hello, dev here. Thank you OP for sharing. Feel free to ask me anything

It's great to have you here! Some questions then: How did this project get started? How big is your team? Personal fave JRPG?

 

[OniBarubary]

Hello, dev here. Thank you OP for sharing. Feel free to ask me anything

If you're Semi-Soft does that also mean you're Semi-Hard? ~____^

...I'll see myself out...

I greenlit it a while back but never saw this thread.

 

[texhnolyze]

Good luck with the game!

It's looking very promising so far.

Wow, thank you Fou-Lu, we really need your support, thanks again to OP to share our game, it's the first project for this scale.

This project started 2 years ago, 20 Oct precisely.Our team consists 20+ people, but we need outsource to finish, so it's more.

Personal fave JRPG? It's a tough question, but my favorite was FFVII

 

[Spiral Insanity]

Reminds me of Baten Kaitos.

Call me very interested but Jesus christ if that narration doesn't border on the hilariously bad. It sounds like Elmer Fudd whispering as to not wake up any sleeping wabbits

Great backround art I miss 2d backrounds.

Hey no worries I understand. Still though, thanks for the laugh. Game looks fairly interesting so I'll likely be getting it

 

[Dimitri LH]

Got that PS1/PS2 RPG vibe.......I miss that. Hope for the best! I'll keep this on my radar. =)

(Even if im not a fan of those kind of QTE in my RPG battle systems lol)

 

[Soltype]

Reminds me of Baten Kaitos.

Looks a lot like Origins in some of the trailer.

 

[Daeoc]

Looking forward to this.

Nice to see fellow SEAs doing stuff. Where's the music from?

Hey guys, have any of you tried the pre-alpha prologue that we have released for free? Yes FOR FREE!? Link's available on the Kickstarter page! Let us know what you think of it! I can answer any questions if any of you would like to ask. So I guess this is sort of like an AMA thread.

 

[Tizoc]

Backed for GBP 9. Though if you don't mind me saying I personally find the game's title to be pretty...dull and generic :X

 

[SEMISOFT]

Hey guys,

Would you be interested in doing an AMA with the team? If so, I'll get this arranged.

I'm Dan, I work for a company called PR Hound and we champion indie developers and have helped quite a few titles through Kickstarter and beyond! We're currently helping Semisoft with Legrand Legacy and would love to get your thoughts, opinions and questions to the team.

 

[SEMISOFT]

Hi everyone,

Last week, 29-30 November 2016 . We are went to showcase our game at Game Prime 2016, Indonesia's biggest gaming event and Legrand Legacy bring the first award as The Most Promising Game 2016. So far, this is our 3rd events and hopefully, we can showcase our game in many international gaming events in near future and meet you guys there. Here is our pict from last events:

Our First Award

I'm ambivalent to voice acting. I think the best balance for indie-RPGs is to sprinkle a bit of voice here and there in key moments to add some flavor, and also give the audience a stronger impression of the character.

Otherwise, have most of the dialogue be unvoiced enables richer text, more varied options, and quicker iterations/drafting.

I'd rather just have "beeps" than voice acting - saves money for other things and preserves my nostalgia for JRPGs of years gone by.

Also, the YouTube links in the OP don't work for me.

I fully agree with Sparrowhawk, as an Indie we had a very tight budget even threaten to finish the game.


Hi Sparowhawk, here's the link to our official channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyx2awEfqjofEDurH-WaAxw


Btw, our Kickstarter end in 9 days, and we still need +40.000 GBP more. Please support us to make Legrand Legacy happen, every word and pound matter.

 

[PantsuJo]

Cool. Voted

 

[SEMISOFT]

Have you played our demo? and meet Aria?

 

[hichanbis]

I would have backed this game immediately if it was releasing on PS4...

 

[GuitarAtomik]

Just found out about this. Will give the demo a try.

 

[kiuo]

Nice find, just backed for the £15 reward. Hope it reaches its goal. Looks good already.


Edit: btw the link to the kick-starter from the steam page didn't take me to the page, might be because I'm on mobile. But here's the link that did let me in

[Tizoc]

30K Quid to go and less than a week left @_@

 

[cress2000]

Kicked them £130.00 (£100.00 + £30.00 shipping). I like what they're trying to accomplish with this (modern JRPG style). I want to see more of it happen. If this fails I hope they try again.

 

[ElectricThunder]

Heh, that Suikoden sleeve flowing briskly in the wind in terms of the latest update on the rough gist of the strategic combat portions of the game.

 

[li bur]

I don't really like what I see but I wanna see fellow countrymen doing well. I'm going to back it on the lowest tier at the very least.

 

[hichanbis]

Finally backed.
Hope they make it.

 

[SEMISOFT]

Sorry for the late reply, our plan after releasing in PC, we are going to PSN. Hopefully, we can release on PC and PSN in one time.

Finally backed.
Hope they make it.

Thank you @hicanbis

 

[SEMISOFT]

Sure, and tell us what you love or hate in our demo

 

[SEMISOFT]

Thank you @cress2000 :-D

let's hope our goals achieve in 2 days 🙏

First line on the Steam description is boy with amnesia.

Can you guys... not do that?
