Indie Legendary Journeys - a new open world blobber - now available on Early Access

[Kevin French]

Grauken Hey, no problem. I am pretty particular when it comes to early access titles as well. This was an announcement for those that are interested and to let everyone know where the development progress is currently. Thanks for your honesty, though!

I've never purchased an early access game. But this looks way too much like Wizardry 8 for me to pass up. It's on my wishlist, and I'm looking forward to Sep 6.

 

[Kevin French]

Contagium Thanks for the kind words! Unfortunately, release will be on Sept 7th instead. Steam release rules forced me to move it 1 day

Out on Early Access:

 

[DoomIhlVaria]

Grabbed it. I definitely enjoyed the "offline EQ" feel of Minions of Mirth but that game is well and truly dead now. Hopefully this will fill that niche for me.

 

[Voids]

Wishlisted. Planning on waiting for the full release.

 

[Contagium]

Purchased. Probably won't start it for a bit . But happy to support!

 

[Skdursh]

Incredibly generic name but the screenies and video make this look based enough to make a nibba nut. I might buy. Anyone have a firsthand account of this yet?

 

[Kevin French]

Thanks for the support! Wishlist or purchase - really appreciate it. I hope the game will meet your expectations

Desiderius - thanks! Appreciate the support

It is similar to a rough around the edges M&M8. I think the shell is there for something really good.

 

[Kevin French]

Contagium so far, I've heard comparisons to M&M 6, 7 and now 8. I must have done something right! Thanks for the vote of confidence.

This has been getting continuous updates for almost 2 years now. Worth playing? Good?

 

[Contagium]

I haven't touched it since it hit EA back in September 2020, but I still have it installed. I'll give it a go tomorrow for a bit and let you know.

 

[Contagium]

Ok, so I fired it up, roamed around and took on a quest for the local healer. I can see some progress in little details but I feel this game still has a ways to go.

1. Tooltips would be amazing when hovering over the icons. It feels weird they aren't there.

2. There's no option to sneak or run. In MM6-8, I ran most of the time through the map. Here, it's not even an option. Just the same steady pace, regardless of what's happening.

3. In combat, it's impossible to know which enemy is attacking you. You can come across three spiders, labeled Spider A, B, and C. Yet hovering over the monster won't show which is which. There's also a real lack of sounds when getting hit.

4. The resolutions looks strange when conversing with NPC'S. They don't scale correctly, and the portraits and backgrounds get really blurry when you enter in conversation.

Those are just some observations in my limited time. I'm going to shelve this for a while. There's a lot of love being put into this game, but it has a while still.

Release - 1.0.0 Notes

Developer Notes

Exit from Early Access! It's been a long journey to reach this milestone. One, that took longer than originally anticipated.
The main quest can be completed. All side quests can be completed. The game is feature complete.
Does this mean the game is bug free? Probably not. I'm sure there is still some obscure bug hiding to make my life miserable
Never the less, I'll still update as those are reported. As for now, I'm going to take some time away to enjoy the upcoming holidays and play a few games from
my giant backlog of games that I've ignored while working on Legendary Journeys. Is there a sequel in the works? Not right now. However, I have a few ideas jotted
down and plenty of notes taken from the players that could be used in a sequel.

NOTE: There isn't a release discount because I wish to participate in the annual Winter sale. It will be 50% off during that time!

• New - Increased font size where possible
• New - Increased window size where possible
• New - Adjusted screen elements to fit within the SteamDeck resolution where needed
• New - PDF manual updated

This wasn't even close to ready a handful of months ago. Be interested to see other's feedback on it.

I hope it is less disappointing than A Quest that Became Legend.

I hope it is less disappointing than A Quest that Became Legend.

At least the price tag is reasonable, and the Dev stated there would be a 50% off sale during the Steam winter sale
