Camel Camus posted:Hey dev I bet you won't get to my question in a while from dealing with all the guillotine questions but when you have a moment I have a couple of questions about the design philosophy: Thank you for the questions. The characters are not Japanese, but French. Only the art is in Japanese anime style. As for the screenshots, we are going to run this campaign in three languages - English, French and Japanese, therefore every post, picture or video we make that has writing in it, is done in those three languages. This forum is in English, so I posted the Character designs and the teaser video in English, but we have the same ones in French and Japanese as well. Regarding Benjamin Franklin, that is not a bad idea at all! We are looking to have many different settings for the game, each with a different atmosphere etc', and having Benjamin Franklin's house would be a great idea. ^^ Birthday Oral posted:I'm going to non-sarcastically ask if there's generic character creation because I like that in tactics rpgs. We haven't planned on implementing that in to the game, but we are still very early in the game development, so you never know, we might! How Rude posted:Despite goons dumping on you constantly you keep trucking on. Thank you. It's all about percentage! 80% of people here are just screwing around, but the other 20% are genuinely interested in the game! And that is good enough ^^ DoctorStrangelove posted:The cast seems pretty sparse for a tactical RPG. You only have two playable characters listed. Are you really sure you don't want to add in Andre The Giant, if only to fill out the roster better? As of now, there are 9 playable characters. But that may change. DoctorStrangelove posted:Couple of problems with this one too! We based Lendre's rifle on this one, which is called "fusil de chasse hessois" We made it a bit thinner/smaller, as we thought it looks cooler and fits his character better. In Thermidor, each character has his own specialty weapon. In Leandre's case it is a rifle. But he is also proficient with a sword, but not as proficient as Armandine who is an expert fencer. Palpek posted:Also frying pans like the one on the right haven't been invented until late XIXth century when cooking stoves became popular. We put in things into our game that look cool, but may be (unintentionally) taken from later time periods. There will be no guillotines in the game, because chopping off people's heads is pretty gory, and we don't really want that in Thermidor. I do apologize, but from now on, any person that mentions guillotines or perverted stuff will be put into the ignore list, and therefore won't have any of their future comments/questions replied by us.

the scarlet pimpernel would make a great boss/party member and instead of SEVERE TRIGGER WARNING guillotines you could use medieval style 'stocks' and there could be a minigame where you have to swipe rotten vegetables out of the air. just an idea 【ツ】

hyperdevbox posted:We based Lendre's rifle on this one, which is called "fusil de chasse hessois" That picture is of a Chassepot. Which was adopted by the French military in 1866. I'll give you that it's a blackpowder gun but it's still much more modern than what would have been available to someone in 1789. Like in 1789 a bolt action rifle with metallic cartridges would have been straight up futuristic.

Stuff like revolvers would really spruce up this game if we're not gonna have guillotines.

What type of fencing are we talking here? Oldschool cut-and-thrust rapier, smallsword thrust-only stuff, or the perennial military sabre? Armandine has very skinny legs for someone who's supposed to be an expert fencer and similarly, she should really be wearing baggier breeches otherwise she'll have a hard time moving and fighting properly. Also how are you handing damage in combat? Typically all the weapons discussed so far (including guillotines) would kill or incapacitate in a single hit.

Come on, that seems a bit harsh, punishing people just because they care about guillotines.. This thread is actually somewhat of a honeypot. I mean, the subtitle of the game is even "The Most Realistic Guillotine Simulator", why did you make that the title if there are not even guillotines in this game?

Hey, I just really like fencing, and realistic depictions of women in fiction. Plus given that this is a real-world rather than a fantasy setting (right?) I genuinely want to know if there is any concession made to this in terms of the combat system, or whether you're going with the tried and true "get shot in the face and run through six times but don't give no fucks because I still have 53HP left". I know realism has probably got to be given the chop in favour of the game actually being fun to play, but, hey, if you have any interesting spins on JRPG combat then inquiring minds want to know. On a related note, will you buck centuries of JRPG tradition and have guns that are more damaging than swords?

If you want to make a historic game, get your facts straight. Otherwise it's just a lazy and cynical treatment of history as a candy store of "cool stuff", that can be mixed and matched because no one gives a poo poo anyway.

I think that creating a meaningful story that is also relevant to the setting is much more important than getting the "facts straight". Neither of which this game will do but still...

How accurate will the guillotine simulation be? I'll only buy the most accurate simulation out there. I need real world blade, cutting, blood and gravity physics. I want to feel like I'm really cutting the anime's head off with my anime guillotine.

Palpek posted:Hell, if they're already a century off they might as well give those French revolutionaries something even cooler like laser guns and laser chariots. Imagine a chariot that instead of horses has two huge hovering engines with a laser current connecting them and the revolutionaries would race them on a desert planet and maybe chop off a few heads with the laser currents while they're at it. Then there would be a zoom in on a kid's face and he would say something like "sacrebleu, now this is podracing". See now this is a game that I would play. Hope you're taking notes guillotine anime maker op guy.

The thing that makes me the saddest about this thread is how many people got put on ignore. Sure, there were a few extremely sarcastic and mildly rude responses, but blanketing legitimate concerns that will impact the success of the game and the livelihoods of the people who are making it is no laughing matter. At least the mods can't be put on ignore. Be the voice of the downtrodden, the unheard, the wretched masses of gamers yearning to breathe the free air of 18th.. or 19th, if we are going by the rifle, century France.

Hi OP. Will Cardinal Richelieu be in this game? I realize that, of course, he had unfortunately passed away prior to the start of the French Revolution, but would it perhaps be possible to include him as a sort of phantasmic mentor figure for the protagonist, in the style of Obi-Wan Kenobi or that merchant NPC from Darksiders? Thanks for listening, we at the Something Awful Forums appreciate your commitment to open development.
