Hmm, totally forgot about Talon. Tho Technically "Crocodile" is still Lizard / Reptile, especially in furry's term.
Are they related to other Lizards? Like a back story about being a branch / exiles / etc?
Or they just throw them out there randomly, treat it as a totally new race?

If it's the latter, Kinda give me the Beastkin / Furry Island flash-back, Totally random, no Continuity nor Closure.
Well I dont think they are related to the Lizard tribe, yes in furry fandom they are in a reptile/ scalie family but they are not closely related, so far we dont know if it has any history with Lizard tribe or not, so we have to wait and see, but so far I do like the designs of all of the croc characters, and especialy new ones, they are realy cute

Wait, a Lizard Painter and A Lizard warrior? Are they in the new dwarf city?
Or they are expanding the Roushk Lizard branch?
Tho calling them "crocodile" implies they are difference and maybe a new race?
They're a different tribe (race?) of desert-dwelling lizard people. Rhot makes it clear during the Black Wolf storyline he has no idea who they are, so presumably none of the other lizards did either. Likewise, Talon didn't recognize Rhot or his race of lizardfolk, which implies they aren't a thing over in the deserts where he hails from.

First of all I wanted to assure you all that the update for this month is still planned. I apologize in advance for being late, but I was struggling once again with the work.

Now to the excuses part...



I'm a person who doesn't talk much about my personal life. I was taught to keep my problems to myself, as they do not concern anyone else. In the end I should be strong enough to deal with the obstacles and be able to stand on my own two feet. It's not always easy, I'm not as good at hiding everything as I would want to be, and I heard a couple of times recently that I should talk about what bothers me. If you don't want to read my rambling you can easily skip this post.



The last few months weren't easy for me. A lot of days were dedicated to my dog who was with me for thirteen years. Taking him to the vet frequently, giving him pills and shots at home, helping him with even the easiest tasks. With every passing week I saw his state worsening until eventually I realized we were going on a borrowed time. It wasn't a surprise for me, I knew his late years were going to be difficult because of the surgeries he had as a pup. It didn't really matter... he was there for me when I was going through my depression when I was younger, the least I could do was to try to ease his pain in his last years.

Unfortunately the inevitable happened a few weeks ago. Maybe I should have canceled this month's update, but I didn't want to cancel it out of the blue. So I tried to work anyway. The results are... average, but then again I'm never happy with the quality of my work, so that didn't really change.

Right now I'm trying to keep going, though I miss my friend greatly. Some people could say it was just a dog, but I don't know if I would be here if not for him when I was going through some very difficult part of my life. A lot of small things remind me about it, I have a lot of mood swings, I'm mostly trying to keep myself occupied just to not think about the loss. But well, during most days it's not really helping.

I didn't really feel social at all. I might have missed some messages sent to me. I'm putting a lot of expectations on myself and I hate myself for not meeting them for a while already. Lack of communication on my end, being late often, I guess here I wanted to at least partially explain where it's coming from. I have trouble accepting the fact he is gone. I hoped it would get better soon enough, but for now it's still hard to ignore it.

Normally I would look forward to vacations. To give myself some space and possibility to relax. But with the current state of the world I'm not sure that's going to happen, which means I will most likely miss the chance to meet with good friends who live far away. That thought is not making me feel any better either.

We all are going through different hardships. We all have our problems. Part of me is angry for making those excuses - cause yes, that's how I see it in my head. I was always proud of being very consistent for all those years and I really don't want to ruin it.

But right now I think I need to rest. I'm not fine, not at the moment. So after this month's update I won't do any content for the next one. I'll put some time into cleaning the code, maybe adding few items or doing a bit of balance, but no writing from me. Virile may add some Maul stuff so the next month is not bare bones.



There is also another piece of news I have to share. There will be a change in artists working for LD. Narram decided to resign from drawing for the project - for his own personal reasons. If you follow him you should probably know he was going through his own difficult time. I still have a few sprites from him that I will add to the game, but after that I'll be relying on other people.

I don't think I officially announced it so I might as well do it now. StanG was a part of the team for a while and this will continue.



I think that's all I wanted to say at the moment.

Thank you all for supporting me and staying with me for all this time. I will try my best to get back to being more communicative again and to give you all more of what you like and enjoy in LD.

Another Show of Hyao's diligence. Sometimes it's good to get stuff off your chest, but don't dwell on the excuse, try to find solutions. Wish him (and LD) good luck.
The monthly subscription model is really a double edge, cuz game is not made by adding steady stream of contents monthly.

Sad that Narram is leaving, I'm growing to like his work more and more.
Also this put so much uncertainty for the future of LD (like "StanG will stay for a while") :(
There are just so many problems if you want to make a game in such long time span / lifetime, especially as an indie.

They should Really aim to finish this game, and if still willing, make another.
I guess enjoy while it lasts. :(

Yeah it sad to see that Narram is leaving, since his monsters and creatures are his best, and ofc those new croc characters that he did are looked the best but if he wishes to do so it would be for the best of his.
And I did asked Stan multiple times on the stream and he said that he is not planing to leave and want to stay till the end of the project and ofc to partner for possible future projects after LD is done ( even tho with the type of game LD is it can be endless )

The thing is, Things change, Life happens, you don't always get to proceed as you planned. No matter what good will you have.
Narram's leaving is just another point on the graph. (Remember He picked it up at the lowest point of LD, and move along against all odds.)
So they really should wrap this game up, rather than trying to do it "endlessly".

Tho if StanG stands so firmly, Hyao shouldn't hv made that post so gloomy. Guess Can't blame him since he's really down at the moment (or even some PTSD from the past).

Honestly, the problem with this kind of indie/commision-based/collaboration work is that they don't use contracts with set deadline. Therefore, if anyone feel like they are done, they are done and can just left. Hopefully things will get better for Hyao and his fellow team.

Sucks to hear that he's been having a rough time of it and that Narram left. I'm not entirely surprised though, given it seems like Narram's output was slowing down for a good while even before this.

This reads like an AI written excuses when i first read it. I ran it through chatgpt and it agrees to my suspicion. Even if part of it is true, it just felt very disingenuous. He could have easily paused the patreon while dealing with his issue.

Bit shitty of you to assume that, no? Why would he even lie over a $1 Patreon access with a dead dog excuse? He owes us nothing, and he wasn't even obligated to post the apology either.

Well, i paid the highest tier every month, i am allowed to complain about it and I didnt say he lied about the dog part. Its just disingenuous to use chatgpt to write it for you. None of the previous blog entries looked this robotic. He even said on discord an update is still coming this month, that was 4 days ago and suddenly this ai blog text came out. I basically paid for a month of nothing when he can just pause members rebill if he need the time to sort out his irl problem.

But ChatGPT can identify a IA written document? Can you provide something to know more about that?

I'm actually quite hopeful for the future of this game. We are in a much better place than we were 2 or 3 years ago. It's a shame Narram is leaving but he was a huge help. I hope Hyao finds another furry or hybrid artist who is just as talented or even more talented.
