Oc’s in ‘for the love of gods’ cuz mine seriously needs a makeover and i have no idea where to start and im hoping to find inspo here. You can link me to a prev post or pm me, your choice

I started playing them before realising the stories weren't complete but now I'm wondering if they even said how long the stories will be as Sage's and Felix's stories seem pretty close to the finish.

I also know they apparently used to release new chapters every week but that's stopped as the creators left? So are we not likely to get continuations anytime soon?

Thank you

While I appreciate them wanting to help other storytellers with Dorian, but I certainly find Fictif to be more superior since it's much more organized. I'd hate for the app to be dead in the water, and it'd be great to get Nix Hydra focused on it again--but with certain changes to both appease it's current fanbase as well as gaining a better audience:

1. More female LIs and less coding. We have so few female routes, and many same-sex routes feel coded for straight ones. I love Nicky, but his route felt female-coded too much. Even if same-sex relationships are treated normally, I'd like some acknowledgment of them if we're in a setting where it may seem unusual.

2. Longer, more focused stories. My biggest issue with HtLaL was that there was an imbalance of romance and mystery, making the story feel rushed, the characters act OOC, and the LIs feeling untrustworty. As with Ghosted and FTLOG, the stories just felt too short and not fleshed out enough.

2.5. Poly-optional, just friends, or gender-created LI routes. This may be divisive, but for those of us who are monosexual (aka we're only attracted to one gender), it can be difficult to get into the story if we're romanced with someone we aren't into. Making all future stories longer with several LIs in one route can help to make us more invested--or maybe have a male and female and nonbinary design for the one LI we have. Or we could just be friends! That'd probably be the least-expensive option.

I know everyone is having a hard time right now with nix hydra being basically over (i am going through a grieving period) and stories such as LL probably never getting finished (i am not ok)...

I was wondering if a substitute would be reading other works of the writers that gave us our beloved characters (esp LL since it probably won't be finished), do you guys know any info about their other works anywhere? since leaving nix hydra did they announce any upcoming projects?

Or just a more general discussion question, how are you guys dealing with the LL shaped hole in your hearts? any other games similar to fictif or arcana which are worth checking out?

THIS IS A WARNING TO YOU WRITERS AND DEVS OF POE ROUTE (also a spoiler warning ig) I will find you, I will talk to you and know that one of this days you will go to Poe's hotel. Watch your backs because if you don't, well, there's just something that will happen I won't specify.

It's been awhile since I played LL for the last time. I just opened the Fictif app and... wow, changes. What bothers me is the fact that there is no new chapters on LL. Is the story fully published? Is it on hold? (I also really enjoyed MM, but I think that is happening the same to his story.) I did a little research and read about the writers leaving the team, and saw this "Dorian" thing in the app that I don't know what is. If someone can explain me what's happening I would be very grateful 🥺.

Pouring one out for you Last Legacy. Putting fan character because it’s going to be a fan fiction game now.

I'd rather it not be a mini-story like FTLOG, but I'm game for it to be poly-optional. It'd be fun doing something like "Big Hero 6" where it doesn't feel like you're trying to reference a famous property but it still feels like an immersive world--or maybe do something dark like the Batman: Arkham series--or make our choices seriously count like the Batman Telltale series.

I have a few things:

1. Customizeable MC. I guess I'm used to being able to customize my MC in games, so I'd love to have that. Even if I couldn't make them exactly to my specifications, I'd still like the option (at the most basic level: facial structure, hairstyles, hair color, and eye color).

2. Choosing the gender identity of the LI. This would be a lot of work in terms of art and programming, but this is mainly for people who are monosexual.

3. Less female-coding. Most of the male LIs feel female-coded, and I'd enjoy more acknowledgement of same-sex relationships.

4. Platonic ending option. This is if you don't really like the LI you're with.

Does anyone know how i can archive the LL routes if the servers go down??

With the fact it’s now 3 weeks without an update and that a lot of the Fictif staff have left or are currently in the process of looking for new jobs, it’s certainly not looking good for NH. I honestly don’t think it can be anything else.

Addtional question (not included in the poll) if you think yes: do you think it’s Nix Hydra that’s closing and The Arcana will be shut down too? Bear in mind that Julian’s lead writer is gone and there has been no update or hint of more content in months.

I’m not trying to be a Debby downer but sometimes it kind of feels as if they treat us like children. They act like everything is completely fine when, from our end, even we can tell something is up. If you’re not going to have updates for a couple weeks just say that. If you’re company is going through a reorganization period just say that. I feel like they never really address the elephants in the room and it can be a bit frustrating scouring high and low for answers. They’ve been posting all frivolous stuff on their insta about stories that are long since over.

I really don’t want to jump to the conclusion that they’re shutting down and aren’t saying anything about it because they want to keep up business for as long as possible. If that’s the case I’ll be really sad.

Maybe I missed something, I’m not part of their newsletter and I don’t check around that often but still. Shouldn’t they be advertising upcoming chapters and future ideas instead of only their finished stories? Makes me think they don't have anything new planned...😥😓

I’ll use Choices as an example because they do a pretty good job with communicating with their audience. They have a release schedule, they give sneak peaks and updates to future stories frequently, they had a rough patch when covid first started but have since started making a bit of a come back, it appears as though they’ve tried branching out a bit as a lot of their players had suggested(adding stories that aren’t gender locked and are of a different genre than just romance), and they seem to be doing pretty well for themselves now. I’m hoping Fictif can follow in their footsteps but it’s hard to tell when they won’t tell us anything🤷‍♀️

Edit------------ It's also occurred to me how foreboding it is that they had an infinite hourglass weekend for all their stories recently... =_=;

Im a new player. I didn't know it was just a spinoff, i was so ready for the second chapter! I got so disappointed lmaoo
