Just how much of a spiritual successor is this to the Tales of Game's magnum opus, Chef Boyardee’s Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden, Chapter 1 of the Hoopz Barkley SaGa?

Solomonic posted: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. Maybe he can team up with Mazarin as a duo of grouchy old dead guys who complain about how back in MY day we didn't have no fancy shmancy machines for when we wanted to behead people

Thanks for listening, we at the Something Awful Forums appreciate your commitment to open development. That's not a bad idea! As I mentioned before (can't remember where or when), we are seriously thinking of having some sort of non-realistic healing or attacking powers. And having a dead historical figure appear as a mentor is a great idea! Thank you (: By the way, one of the reasons we opened this thread, is because we want to hear people's ideas for Thermidor, and for them to take an active part in the development. Isn't it great that no matter where you are in the world, your ideas for a JRPG game being developed in Japan, actually reach the developer, and might be implemented in the game? I see it as a new era for game development when even the smallest and farthest voice can reach the top. And that's also part of the reason we are going with crowdfunding, instead of the traditional way. Crowdfunding is mostly, but not entirely about the funding, It's also about sharing every single moment of the development with the backers, and listening to their comments and suggestions, thus insuring that Thermidor will be GREAT. I'd like to also just add that Carlo Perconti, the CEO of HyperDevbox, is the mind behind this project, and his ideas for the game are absolutely fantastic, and some even groundbreaking. Not to mention his "out of this world" passion for gaming. I personally am very much looking forward to writing the soundtrack, and hopefully make it as great as the game itself. Crazy Achmed posted: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. Like other JRPGs and games, no matter what the weapon is, you will lose HP or health on each hit. But what will be unique in Thermidor, is that a big hit can cause you to drop your weapon! More details will be explained at the launch of the campaign, which is getting near! Crazy Achmed posted: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. We are all for realism, but part of the fun in JRPGs is the correct usage of HP, and in Thermidor's case, also skill points for each weapon. so a character skilled with a rifle, using a super attack, would definitely deal a lot of damage. But a less skilled character might actually even miss his target entirely. But yes, I think the rifles in the game will be more powerful than the sword, and also grant the ability to attack from a distance. And the further away from the target, the more likely you will miss or make less damage. The game is still in its very early development stage, so we won't know exactly how these attacks will be until we get there ^^ but we have a lot of ideas about it. Look! A Horse! posted:huh? you seem to be implying that any work of historical fiction that doesn't get all the details right is worthless. 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... I was about to agree with you and give you a big thumbs up for the first part of your comment, but then you had to ruin it with your unnecessary negativity and pessimism at the end...  Super No Vacancy posted:op can you tell us the origin of hyperdevbox's name It's actually a name that contains a special code, that if revealed, will give you the coordinates to a wormhole that leads to the frozen planet of Zabrob in the constellation Globerjarm 12.

First want to take the time to say how cool it is you are engaging with the community like this, and you seem to know so much that I almost forgot you are in charge of the soundtrack and not the development or storyline! Very cool. On the topic of music, the concept of the game really reminds me of Gilbert and Sullivan's "The Mikado," and I'm glad to see you guys wearing that on your sleeve- down to the naming of the characters (for those not in the know, I'm talking about satirically using made-up names like "Leandre" and "Amandine" as opposed to authentic Japanese names e.g. Hiro, Mitsuko, it's a great nod to the faux-japanese names of The Mikado like "Nanki-Poo" and "Pish-Tush"). Could you explain a little bit how you came to that influence and the process behind writing music for a story focused around Japanese aesthetics, culture and characters in the trappings of 1790s France? I can't wait to get some more samples of the music because I think there's a lot of potential here and that the project is very forward thinking. For now- did you intentionally mimic the pop operatic structure Sullivan was famous for or did it follow naturally as you matched the music to the tone of the game and its influences?

Very cool. Thank you very much for the lovely comments! Actually, there is no mimicking of any kind of music, and inspiration comes from the huge mixture of genres that I listen to. We have a very clear idea of what kind of soundtrack we want for Thermidor, but I also have a lot of creative freedom with this game ^^ As the game development progresses, and the soundtrack is being written, I will try and implement different motifs in the music that are connected to the game's setting, while doing my best to sound modern and unique. Here's another little taste of the game's OST.

Please add a mario-carts style mini-game where I can drive around and shoot guillotines at people and if I get chopped it goes "UH OH SPAGGETIO" and then bowser overtakes me. I feel this is missing in JRPGS

I, for one, am very glad that a chapter of Neil Gaiman's famous "The Sandman" manga is finally getting a proper video game adaptation. High time, if you ask me. Hope that the next chapter to be adapted is "Ramadan", that one was breathtakingly amazing.

I still say that the game should use the French Revolutionary calendar as a way to keep track of events happening in the game! Such a unique calendar that would be a waste to ignore!

I wonder if the author of this thread was aware of how close to our goon hearts "games that are crowdfunded" are, indeed, this very forum having a sub forum devoted to just one crowdfunded game of note, Perhaps this esteemed game maker should spend some time in thiat forum, which, oddly, has no reference to the mechanism for seperating heads from bodies, but rather, cash for jpg's?

I personally can't wait for this game to be abandoned (either through sloth or incompetence) 2/3rds of the way through its Early Access release.

Having a little issue and looking for help.I got the game today and tried to install it. I put in Disc 1 and the install screen appears, but the install screen shows no progress. All it says is "estimated 2 minutes left" and those 2 minutes are endless. The version I have is the boxed version with the bonus content on the disk. My girlfriend tried to install the game on her computer and it worked perfectly - the launcher immediately started installing the game. Biggest difference between systems is that I use Windows 10 and she uses Windows 7. The disk drive itself is external and worked for her computer, so I don't think it is the drive. I've tried to install the game more than 50 times now. At first I waited one hour because I thought it might just need some time to think, but no luck.I have 57GB of SSD space left, and my computer itself is a Microsoft Surface Pro 2. Has anyone else had this issue or know of a fix?

 GUILLOTINE CONFIRMED I REPEAT, GUILLOTINE CONFIRMED As a bonus for preordering Thermidor JRPG, you will soon gain access to a companion in the story with a... unique way to dispatching foes. Our prayers have been answered!
