Legendary Tales News

Hello Urban Wolf Games fans.
It’s going to be long text. Take a cup of tea before read.

In the last announcement, I said, me and my team are going to have long vacation, but we didn’t have time to rest. Instead, we were focusing on thinking about our future.
What do we want to do? what can we do? what should we do? Make another VR game? Make a DLC for Legendary Tales?
Or can we even continue to develop VR games ever again? since this market is too tough for indie developers like us.
The fear ate us when we saw the reaction after release 1.0, maybe leaving the PCVR market is best way. Because we are failure here. That was what we thought.

And then suddenly you, the Urban Wolf Games fan, popped up in my head.
“Maybe concrete PCVR Legendary Tales fans will still back us up in the future.”
On top of that. we have PSVR2 gaming fans, the group like the oxygen!
We almost gave up the VR development and wanted to move to PC or mobile game development. But your hot, hot, hot love made us to consider once more.

We are indie developers; we never had enough money before and now. Maybe we don’t need big pocket of money, money is just a tool. But love, towards to our game is the Oxygen. We need them, we cannot live without gamers love. That is the source of indie development I believe.

So, I had to do something.
First, we did what we could do.
“Digging the possibilities and Research and Develop of the possibilities.”
And then divided into many options
At this point you have questions in your head. What does that mean?
It means we are currently working on to find a solution to stay in VR market.

The options I have come up with are below
1: Make a DLC
2: Quest port of course.
3: Make new VR game

1: Make a DLC
It’s not an easy task since we have the biggest problem: Legendary Tales is made with UE4 which is very outdated.
What if we upgrade into UE5? some of you may remember that during the development we have tried to upgrade into UE5 but we have failed. The reason was Chaos Physics problem which we can’t handle. It seems many of UE5 developers having same problem.
As I mentioned many times Legendary Tales uses very Physics intense. Even though, we use only 60~70% of performance of target platform for Multiplayer not like any other physics VR games (others use 100% because they are single).
So, if we make Single player only It’s fine to move on to UE5 but clearly, it’s not an option.
Instead, we need to find a solution either optimizing physics or make DLC with UE4 super fast.

The question is: is there enough people who want more boss and fights, adventure in Legendary Tales? And will they buy DLC? What do you think?

2: Quest port
Meta officially opened Quest market, any developer can apply the contents as Early Access, just can not expect to be exposed to all gamers on Quest store.
As some of you know Legendary Tales project itself originally started for Quest1 (That is why Legendary Tales is well optimized, all physics were already optimized for Quest1)
But Meta never accepted Legendary Tales for their market without clear reason years. But now maybe we could jump into Quest market by our own will.
If Legendary Tales was still in Early Access, then I wouldn’t care whatever Quest does. Because I want to be loyal to our PCVR gamers whoever supported Legendary Tales with their precious money.
As a gamer myself, I don’t like Indie developers who release their game to other platforms to grab cashes although it is still in Early Access. At least in this part, I do believe we have earned the trust from you.
We are currently proactively digging about this option.

The question is: Is there enough people who want Legendary Tales on Quest store? What do you think?



3: Make a new VR game
This also can be an option. Making a new VR game sounds what we could do! Since we have finished developing a VR game, now we are officially VR game company!
We know about VR game development better than before we started developing Legendary Tales. We can make more & different fun VR game if we jump in it.
But in another hand, we must worry about market size again, PCVR market is tough, some people still have problems with our price tag, although Legendary Tales offers way more game contents than any other VR game yet. That means we have to live in indie price tag forever. But then market is small. I don’t believe we could make VR game with more contents than Legendary Tales in the future if we should expect only this much of output.

If we make new VR game, then It will be a hybrid ( the game offers both of VR and flat-gaming ) game to expand our target audiences. I do believe we can pull it out right because we understand both gaming in the right position.
Does it sound like flat-game with VR mode? Don’t worry!
It will be opposite! It’s a VR game that support flat gaming. How it works?
We will see if we ever make new VR game. I have an idea for it. I know how to make gamers happy because I am a gamer :D

The Question is: are you interested in our new game?


I have made three different options for Urban Wolf Games future.
They are all different way to get to future, but they have common and once thing is clear.
All of them require a lot of time. We need a lot of time to explore the options.

The Question is: Can you wait for us and still support us in millions of years later?

We will dive into the adventure again to surprise you.
I will let you know when we have update and news.

Please don’t think we gave up.
We won’t give up the VR development.
We want to stay in VR market.
We will stay in VR market.

It’s time to run into phase two.

We are small 5 people team Indie team,
But thousands of fans love back us up.
Are you with us?

Warm regards,
BJ

Hello, Legendary Tales Fans,

It is already May, the month of between Spring and Summer. How is it going with your gaming life?

After launching of Legendary Tales, we focused on bug fixing and maintenance. Still there are some bugs, but we feel main problems are gone now.
So, instead of many bug fixes, this time we have focused to make new weapon again.
Today, we have brought double edge spear and the Legendary weapon of it, which called Warglaive of storm.
I know many of you wanted this, so why not we make one? Haha.

As I mentioned months ago, now it’s time to take real rest. I really want to give entire my team long vacation since they worked really hard last years. I don’t want my team to have burn-out (include myself).
So, officially we are going to have long vacations soon (maybe start next week). I promise you that after these vacations, we will be fresh and new.
Oh, during the vacation, if there is serious problems, I will bring my team back to fix and will update the Legendary Tales. Don’t worry! (But only serious problems because its vacation!)
During the vacation, I will think about what to do, next step of the team. Where to move, what to do, maybe new game or update? Many things to think.
I am worrying about future but somehow, I am excited about next step of Urban Wolf team. What we can achieve in the future. Time to dig, brain-storming like I did before the Legendary Tales.

I really do believe we could have done this far because of your love.
Me and my team really appreciate it.

This love will be always stays in my heart and only grow bigger by time goes.
Let's make our own Legendary Tales.

With all my love to you this time.
BJ

Hello Legendary Tales Fans,

Are you enjoying beating Skelis and found some good Legendaries and enjoy making your own builds?

During you are enjoying Legendary Tales, I have been in GDC and look around, expand my eye-sight.
I have met many VR devs there. Many of you know them, and I had good conversation with them.
Depends on person, subjects were different, but most of them were saying same things.
How VR market is tough for Devs, and then many of them said, We, Legendary Tales devs, have a guts.
$55 for Indie game was big move and big step and they said, appreciate what we have done for market.
They needed someone to break a barrier of price tag, and that is what we did.
At some point we will drop the price like any other games, but at least, at this point I am really proud of my decision for price.
It is now proven that with the quality game like Legendary Tales, Indie devs can pull out as long as gamers support devs.

There are tons of VR games and VR devs in wild market who need your love and support.
Such as Ancient Dungeon, Davigo, CyubeVR, OVRDark, and there are tons more.
Please consider to support VR devs by buying VR games if you like any VR game, they are working really hard.

Thanks to CyubeVR(PCVR, PSVR2) and OVRDark(PSVR2) Devs, they have provided Free keys give away for our game fans.
I will ping you all on the Discord soon, so stay tuned on our Discord if you want free VR game keys!

What is next move of Urban Wolf Games?
As I said before, we sunk money to develop Legendary Tales and I don't think we can recoup it.
We need more resources to make more contents, DLC, or sequal. That is lacking for us at this moment.
So, we are considering leaving VR industry entirely. Nothing is fixed yet, but we put many options on the table.
If we need to sell more, how about Meta? what if we release Legendary Tales on Quest store?
That is what we want because we do not want to leave the VR market, VR industry is where our Love belongs.
I am trying to talk with Meta, and let's hope we can make it.
Even it doesn't work, I promise you that I will do my best to find a solution to stay in VR industry.
(I am working on to find a solution, that is why I am super quiet on our Discord)
So, give us some room and time to manage things right.

Does that mean we will stop support Legendary Tales? Absolutely not. We will update Legendary Tales onward.

Today, we have brought new updates with Many bug fixes and new Legendary Item!
I know some of you wanted to have two-handed hammer and that is what we brought!
Bonk! Skelis head with two-handed giant hammer and Enjoy the Legendary Tales!


As always, I really appreciate your support and love to Legendary Tales.
I will keep it in my heart forever.

Warm regards,
BJ

Hello, Legendary Tales Fans.

I wish you are enjoying Legendary Tales. Lately, I focus to get information about how people are playing Legendary Tales. Just after a week of launch, many of people said too hard, but now I see there are a lot of people say it’s good or even it’s easy now although almost none of difficulty is changed.
It makes me smile because my fundamental of VR game design is that “Make a VR game that gamer itself Level-up during the game play, not a Character level-up”

And then now many of you understand how to play VR game, why imagination is most important for VR game, make your character, make your own build with almost unlimited combinations with Stats, Skills, Items.
I am really happy many of you are talking about your own build. As a example, Glass Cannon build, I really like the build name.
After the game launch, I found that many of players want to make Mixed, Hybrid characters. You! have more imagination than I have expected! But then many people dropped their hybrid Character because of our system limitations. I was really sad, and as a game developer, I really wanted to support you, our Legendary Tales fans, with the way I could.
So, right after game launch, I planned new skill trees for you.

[h3]Today, I am glad to tell you that we have brought entire new skill tree set with 14 new skills for Hybrid character players![/h3]
So, now your imagination will get better and better and can enjoy Legendary Tales more!

[h3]On top of that, I am glad that now we support 6 different more languages (Italian, French, Portuguese-Brazil, Spanish, Polish, Czech) officially, on Steam and PSVR2 both![/h3]
Thank you for great community and help! We couldn’t push this far without your help and love.
A lot of translations are still Translator level but some of them are human translated :D
Also, Some German and Japanese are updated as well.
I didn’t know Legendary Tales can be changed this much in a Month after launch. But look at this how much we, you and us, together changed and it’s getting better only!

And then now another great news!!
[h3]Thanks to our Graphics Designer, we have brought entire Female costume sets today! 6 armors and 6 helms. [/h3]


[Normal armors]


[Legendary armors]


[Normal and Legendary helms]

I expected another month at least but she just worked in the weekend as well even though she had a flu(Voluntarily!) because she wants you to enjoy Legendary Tales.
(What a great team! I really wish everyone get approval of long vacation from our fans. )

One last thing, there is 20% sale on Steam now. As I stated earlier, We couldn’t set release sale because of Steam policy (Can’t make a sale at least a month after increase the game price). I know many of you were sad. So I put 20% this time, So don’t miss this opportunity to get Legendary Tales for yourself and your friends! (Don’t forget there is also Legendary Tales OST!)

I am leaving to USA for GDC next week, So, let’s hope we get many good opportunities there and if anyone who visit GDC, hit me up on our Official Discord!
Also, there will be no update at least a couple of weeks since I am not at office!

So, now It’s time to go back to make your own Legendary Tales!

With all my love
BJ
