History

Last Legacy was started mostly as the result of encouragement from the community brought up on SM63, where the Runouw brothers decided to make something that they COULD earn a living on. It was in development for a long time, with hints for more than a year leading up to the Beta release in January 2011. After much playtesting, and several updates, RC1 was submitted to Newgrounds in August 2013. Despite plenty of positive feedback, the Last legacy LD scene didn't seem to really pick up until the release of Last_Legacy:_Null_Space.

In Runouw's words (around the time of Chapter 1's release):

"Currently in beta, this project was started after we got the idea to make a game where you can modify the environment around you during gameplay. The main character has the ability to either create or remove nearby ground in order to solve puzzles. This game will have a full-featured level designer that can create levels with intricate designs strewn with enemies, traps, gravity-altering puzzles, and even planets. In the storyline, the main character travels through a series of levels that challenge the player's combat, platforming, and puzzle solving abilities."
