Its been years since I last posted on this forum, I been replaying the LP games recently for nostalgia's sake and a thought occured to me.
You were really a lot younger when you did those games.
Of course, I say this because its something I dreamed about for a while, but why dont you remake the laxius power games?
It would have many benefits:
- it would be way easier to launch on steam. Its hard to get traction on a project that has seven prequels to it, it makes sense for people not to greenlight something that is the continuation of a 600 hours history.
- LP1 was widely popular. Rpg maker was on a bigger fever back in 2001-2002. It was the "Indie games" of that time. A remake of LP1 could bring back old fans of the series.
- Artistic integrity. Since you were so young, a lot of things couldnt be done as well as your mind wished, such as guanidia being a slime. And a lot of things had been changed for history sake, such as baretta and batabog meating random and co before the events of LP1.
This epic tale has been on the making for almost 15 years, and since you were so young when you made LP1, Im sure the lore and universe would benefit immensely from rewriting some stuff.
I dont mean to talk badly about your work, I played and loved the laxius series for a decade now, but its clear how the writing itself improved. Its a pity your young self called the villains the "Dark Order" since you had to stick with that name for six other games.
Theres a big list of things that plain contradicts the later games , or Im sure you regretted.
Im sure you regretted the seven temples of the order. Im sure your mind ten years ago thought 'Im going to make random destroy all seven" and you saw that wasnt feasible on LF.
The fact LP3 isnt about the order at all also showed a lot of changes in your artistic mind, which I think its good. No mind should be stagnant.
Also, between you and me, do you regret Random's name?
Anyway, this is just my two cents, I thought about this a lot as I replayed the first games and heard about batabog in 3 Stars.
I think you should at least check if the people of the forum have interest in this. Im sure it would be terrific to gether attention to the site and way easier to greenlight.
