Calling All Backers in the Explorer (£40) Tier and Above
If you have backed us at the Explorer (£40) tier, you should have received an email with a detailed step-by-step on how to access Legrand Legacy’s Beta demo. For backers in the Adventurer (£50) tier and above, if you have downloaded our Alpha demo, then your game will be automatically updated to the Beta version and you don't have to do anything else.

On May 31, we finally closed our PayPal slacker backer page, thus officially ending our entire crowdfunding campaign. We are thrilled to announce the final numbers as shown in the image below:
What a magical number to end our Kickstarter & PayPal Campaigns
Thank you for backing our project! We are truly honored that you have chosen to embark on this exciting journey with us and we hope we can continue to deliver everything we promise in a timely manner.
Thanks for Reading
That's all for this week's update. We're going to catch up on some much needed sleep while you play the Beta. There are a bunch of new characters to meet and plenty of new areas to explore in our Beta, so we hope you'll have lots of fun!

Thanks everyone for making our Kickstarter and PayPal crowdfunding campaigns a smashing success! However, as we near our launch date, we have to close our PayPal page soon so we can get an accurate final tally for all rewards.
The last day for our crowdfunding campaign is MAY 31 (11:59 pm PDT).
If you want to snap up the game at a lower price than MSRP, get your name immortalized in the credits section of the game, as well as other limited edition collectibles and exclusive in-game starter kits, please click here to contribute: https://paypal.legrandlegacy.com/
Thanks for your help! Every bit of money, retweet, and share, will help us make Legrand Legacy an even better game and experience for everyone. We hope we can reach the final few stretch goals before we close our crowdfunding campaign forever.
We are so close to the next stretch goal!
Language Poll
Another big decision we have to make is which languages we should localize Legrand Legacy to. We’ve narrowed down our options to the three most requested languages: Spanish, French, and Japanese. However, if you want to play Legrand Legacy in another language that you think we should consider, please choose Others and leave your comment.

Beta Announcement
As promised, we have been working very hard on Legrand Legacy's Beta. The good news is that we will be sending Beta keys to Kickstarter and PayPal backers in the Explorer (£40) tier and above on JUNE 1! The entire team has been pretty much operating on zombie mode for the past few weeks, but we all hope that you will enjoy playing Legrand Legacy's Beta.
See you in Beta on June 1!
Hope to See You Again BitSummit!
After two long weeks away from home, Uwil has finally landed back home! In short, BitSummit was EPIC. It was definitely THE BEST event we have ever been to and as icing on the cake, we met a few of our very own Kickstarter backers there! Hope everyone appreciates the new t-shirt packaging, which was rolled and labeled personally by... yours truly. Oh, just in case you're wondering, that egg-like character is Mayumaro, a silkworm cocoon who happens to be Kyoto's official mascot.
A collage of BitSummit goodness
Uwil had one day to explore Kyoto, so he decided to try some local delicacies, from home-made tofu, katsu rice, to green tea cookies and desserts. Uwil spent the rest of the day exploring the famous orange Fushimi Inari Shrine and the bustling Nishiki Market, as well as drooling over an authentic Persona5 art book and the widest selection of Gunplas he has ever seen!
Snapshots from Uwil's one day trip around Kyoto
You may recognize Luke and Anya’s names from your biweekly Kickstarter Games newsletter, but what you may not know is that they are the most hilarious and hardworking duo in the entire crowdfunding world. Our biggest thanks go out to Luke and Anya for being the most gracious and entertaining hosts. Thanks for offering Uwil a place to stay (because I booked an Airbnb at the wrong location), thanks for taking him out to dinner, and most of all, thanks for offering us the opportunity to showcase Legrand Legacy in one of the best indie game events in the entire world!
Uwil, Luke & Anya from Kickstarter Games, and team Sumer
We hope we’ll get the chance to showcase our game in BitSummit again next year. In the meantime, Uwil is going to practice his Japanese…

That’s all for this week’s update. We'll report back next week with more updates from Legrand Legacy’s BETA!
It was another insane week for the entire SEMISOFT crew as we continue pulling endless all-nighters to complete the next chapter of Legrand Legacy for our Beta. While things are going full swing back at the studio, Henry and AJ hit the road again to showcase Legrand Legacy, along with other finalists of Indie Prize, in Casual Connect Singapore.
We are an Indie Prize Finalist!
We brought a few BaoBao plushies with us and these lucky folks got to bring one home! Do you like these cuddly BaoBao plushies?
Thanks for giving BaoBao a new home
One of the highlights was live streaming Legrand Legacy with the hilarious guys of @QuitStalling.
Thanks for having us guys
We'd like to thank Yuliya and everyone at Indie Prize for hosting us and a bunch of other game developers at this event. We're always thankful for any opportunity to showcase Legrand Legacy while meeting new friends from all over the world.
Konnichiwa Kyoto!
As we speak, Henry has arrived in Kyoto and is setting up Legrand Legacy’s booth in BitSummit. He’s super happy about the big monitor (this is truly the biggest screen we’ve ever gotten). We’re also sharing the show floor space with three other awesome Kickstarter games: Sumer, La-Mulana 2, and Project Scissors: NightCry.
Such excites!
We’re always impressed by how neat and organized everything is in Japan. It’s the day before BitSummit officially opens and there was no stray cable or unrolled carpet in sight.
Biggest screen we've ever gotten
Alas, Henry’s first day in Kyoto proved to be rather eventful as I have accidentally booked him an Airbnb at the wrong location. Apparently Miyakomesse (where BitSummit is held) and Kyoto Conference Center are not the same thing. In fact, they’re located in opposite sides of town, 40 minutes apart! If you ever need to visit BitSummit, please don't make the same mistake I did - sorry Henry.
Surveys for Kickstarter & PayPal Backers
Events aside, this week we’ll start sending out surveys to all our Kickstarter and PayPal backers, so we can get your most updated information, including shipping address, t-shirt sizes, the names you want to include in the credits, and other important things or requests. So don’t forget to check your email and fill out those surveys to make sure that you will get the correct rewards on time!
Thanks for Reading!
We can’t thank you enough for joining us on our journey and we hope that you enjoy reading our (mis)adventures through these updates.

Thanks to Reddit, our poll caught the internet's attention and we received a grand total of 3,495 votes in Twitter and Facebook. At first we thought PS4/PSVita would surely win, but by the end of the poll, about 1,600 Nintendo fans had shown their interest in Legrand Legacy for Switch.
Twitter & Facebook poll results
Now that the poll is over (and with such an overwhelming response for Switch), we have some important decisions to make. We are not a big studio and we have limited resources and budget, so our final decision will be based mainly on economic viability.
The news we posted on Facebook and Twitter
Rest assured whatever console we decide to port to, our Kickstarter and PayPal backers will be the first to know. However, you can still join us on our journey by subscribing to our weekly updates via https://legrandlegacy.com/.
Tactical War
In the meantime, we've been pulling all-nighters in preparation for our Beta launch. One of the biggest features that will be making its debut appearance in our Beta is tactical war.
A GIF literally speaks a thousand words...
We haven't really talked about tactical war in details, but it was largely inspired by one of our favorite mechanics in Suikoden. We had so much fun creating strategies and putting our war general skills to the test while playing Suikoden that we can't help but to include a similar feature in our own game.
Between the great war Mugna Feud and the tactical war feature, you may have realized that Legrand Legacy addresses the topic of war in a few aspects of the game. This is not unintentional and you will learn more as the story unfolds. We also consider this feature to be another story-telling mechanic through which you can experience our 6 heroes' progression.
Unfortunately we don't have a confirmed date for our Beta release yet, but stay tuned!
Konnichiwa Kyoto!
In preparation for our Japan trip, we decided to print a stack of Japanese brochures. This seemed like a good idea at first, but created quite a bit of chaos in the studio when we realized none of us speaks Japanese well (despite the fact that we're all JRPG fans). Thankfully, one of our team members, Aki, decided to roll up his sleeves and helped us with the translation. Hope we made our Japanese backers proud.
BitSummit here we come!
Uwil is very nervous about having to speak in his limited Japanese, but he is definitely looking forward to playing other Kickstarter games that will be showcased in BitSummit. This will be his first time in Kyoto too so if you have any recommendations on places to visit, please let us know!
It's been a hectic week but we're happy to share all the work that goes behind the scene. We also hope you enjoyed reading this update. We'll report back next week from the Indie Prize floor in Casual Connect Singapore and the Kickstarter Games area in BitSummit Kyoto!

Ever since we took Legrand Legacy on tours, the one question we’ve been consistently getting is “will this game be available in PS4?” After a while, that got us thinking… maybe we should see if there’s a genuine interest for Legrand Legacy on certain consoles.
This is a really big decision for us to make and we really need your help! So please cast your vote for your favorite consoles (i.e. PS4, PSVITA, 3DS, Switch, or XBOX1) through either our Twitter or Facebook in the links below.
Thank you for voting. As our backers, your opinion means the world to us and we can't thank you enough for your support so far.
Hide Your Girlfriends!
On a lighter note, thanks to the kind folks in Indie Prize and Kickstarter, we have been invited to showcase Legrand Legacy in Casual Connect Singapore (16-18 May 2017) and BitSummit Kyoto, Japan (20-21 May 2017). We are very excited about this opportunity and hope that everyone will enjoy playing this labor of love.
Meanwhile, we will be bringing the irresistibly adorable yet cheeky BaoBao along with us. So hide your girlfriends because BaoBao is on the prowl and he's about to steal your hearts (and possibly your gold coin pouch). Singapore, Japan, you've been warned!
Just like our previous events, we’ll be giving out some #LegrandLegacyGiveaway goodies via Twitter and Facebook. We are still finalizing the details, but we promise they are going to be irresistible! We hope you’ll take the time to participate and have a little fun from the comfort of your home. Who knows, you might even win a Beta access or other awesome swag!
That's all for this week's update, we'll be back next week with more pictures from the Indie Prize show floor in Casual Connect Singapore.
Does any of our Singaporean backers care to share the best places to visit in town? :)
