We packed our bags in San Francisco, took yet another long flight across USA, and unpacked our bags again in chilly Boston for PAX East. It was actually snowing this morning and it’s probably fair to say that this tropical team is underdressed. However, while we are frozen cold, we are having a good time showcasing Legrand Legacy in PAX East and we also have a very important update to share with you - Legrand Legacy’s Alpha demo!

Updates on Alpha Demo

Kickstarter backers who have pledged in the Adventurer tier (£50) and above will be receiving Legrand Legacy’s Alpha demo on March 31st. The feedback we received was overwhelmingly in favor of version B’s battle system, so that’s what we will be using going forward.

The Alpha demo will contain the first TWO chapters of Legrand Legacy so you will get a first look at how Finn and Aria’s adventures will unfold and an exclusive sneak peek to a whole new region to explore in Legrand, as well as updated visual effects and battle UI/UX, among others.

If you have backed at a lower tier but now want a copy of our Alpha, please consider upgrading your pledge via Legrand Legacy’s PayPal, where you can also check the current status of our project’s crowdfunding and how far we are from the next stretch goal (£47,000 with a new Mini Boss and its own unique bonus loot). If you are interested in upgrading your pledge, please email us at [email protected].

PAX East 2017

Today marks the first day of PAX East in Boston and it has been fun, busy, and crowded at the same time. The highlight of the day was meeting some of our Kickstarter backers and getting the chance to chat with them about how to improve several aspects of the mini games and tactical war. Here are some pictures from our booth in PAX East:

If you are attending PAX East in Boston, please come say hi to the team at booth 23120 from March 10-12. Just tell us you’re one of our Kickstarter backers and we have a special surprise for you!

Post GDC Rants & Afterthoughts

In short, GDC was insanely hectic and memorable. We gathered even more feedback on how to improve players’ experience overall and also met a torrent of talented individuals from all aspects of the gaming industry, including publishers, musicians, artists, and of course, fellow game devs.

The highlight of our entire San Francisco trip was showcasing Legrand Legacy in the Game Jolt x Kickstarter party! It was such an honor to be showing alongside other awesome games like Moonlighter, The Adventure Pals, and Space Jammers We also had a lot of fun playing these games and meeting Anya and Luke from Kickstarter Games!

Uwil and AJ’s personal highlight, however, was meeting their idol, Daniel Floyd from Extra Credits.

In the following video, Uwil shares his thoughts on the aftermath of GDC 2017 - what we should’ve done better, what’s up with Legrand Legacy’s mini games, and why popcorn is your best friend!

We also did a live interview with Beau Gaming who was kind enough to stop by our booth and has a bunch of cool videos from GDC 2017.

2016 Giveaway Update

Towards the end of our first Kickstarter campaign in December 2016, we ran a few giveaways via Twitter and Facebook. Now that we are funded, we are able to continue with the development of Legrand Legacy and thus, honor the winners of these giveaways.
