Hello, thank you for coming back to the thread, you were missed! You could maybe make up for it by posting as many fresh screenshots/artwork pieces as you can? After all, it's right there in the thread title.

Thank you!

When will the crowdfunding campaign begin?

I ask because I have recently come into an inheritance due to the untimely passing of my grandpapa. The funding likely will not be enough to fund the entire project but I believe it would be of great help. Since he was of French-Canadian heritage I believe my grandpapa would approve of this game and its message of education about French culture.

Please PM me if you have any questions about French-Canadian culture.

I express my sincere sympathy to you and your family.

We are almost ready to announce a launch date.

Serious question: Are you aware that the guillotine is actually one of the most humane tools of execution during the time your game is set? Putting someone on a wheel and breaking all their bones and then leaving them to rot may have less "gore", but I assure you this doesn't mean it's less horrifying than just getting your head chopped off real fast

I think that is pretty obvious. It's even more humane than hanging, which is still done in many countries today.

pwned lol. you sound like 100x more with it than the people trying to make fun of you :-) once again, i hope the release of your game goes well. it takes courage to make your dreams a reality

Everytime I find myself using the toilet lately I make sure to check the Thermidor thread for hot new deets (details) or screens (screenshots) and everytimd i end up hooting and hollering in outrage at the distinct lack of both deets and caps. I am no longer allowed to use the 6th floor bathroom at work because of the ruckus I caused and this is very upsetting but not as upsetting as no deets.

Also i am not opposed to hooting and/or hollering I just would prefer not to do it while pooping

If the game was already fully developed, we wouldn't need to fund anything...
If you had the decency to comment in a more mature way, I would explain further (again) about our progress on the game and the crowdfunding campaign.

If you really want to know:

The past 10 months -
1) Development of concept
2) Development of game thus far (programming, 2D/3D designing, music, SFX etc')

The past 4 months -
3) Social networking, forums, website contents
4) Creating contents for crowdfunding page layout in THREE LANGUAGES (images, text, pitch videos, perks etc')
5) preparing press kits

Future -
5) Run crowdfunding campaign (at least a month)
6) Complete game (10~14 months)

Any further questions?

I think people would be satisfied with things in progress as well. More artwork, even sketches, screenshots from the SDK, models, textures, execution machinery animations, incomplete things that show in what direction you're going, things like that. I mean, it looks like you only post final images approved by a committee that could be shown in the Steam store or something so it's understandable that there aren't that many of them ready yet.

However, this isn't a gamescon or an official press conference, we're just extremely hardcore devoted religious gamers, completely ultra-crazy about JRPGs almost to the point of mental illness, having tons and tons of fun with our trademark brand of gamer humor that we're proud of, casually chatting and sharing our thoughts on something that, who knows, may end up being the best JRPG of the year it comes out in.

So we crave for more dev involvement, like we're your best buddies and not just a sales target or something. It's like a non-stop giant sleepover here so put on your warm sleepers, grab a hot cocoa and share some secrets with your BFFs. All the teasing you get in this thread is in good intensions because these people, that I'm not afraid to call my family, just want to be your friends (some of them are mean because they were bullied in highschool, be understandable) and maybe peek into the magical process of creating games.

So please, share some stuff even if it isn't complete yet so that we understand that you actually deeply care for our collective future purchases of your game. After all, this is one of the most important gaming forums on the planet - for example Obsidian and CD Projekt Red devs regularly post here as well as the creators of The Zybourne Clock.

P.S. Also the more abuse you get the better, it means people care a whole lot or are jelly, you wouldn't like to have one of those threads that just slips into oblivion with no reaction whatsoever, trust me.

Lemme get this straight: you've only finished the tavern part? You have literally no other part of the game aside from some concept art and some gifs of one battle sequence (where you don't even make the tactically sound move, why did you run around in a curve just to end up just out of range of attacking :lol:) I hope you guys are better devs than gamers 'cause dang it looks like you suck

e: also the previous post was probably one of the more mature posts, I'm not howling for guillotines or being so cloyingly supportive of your poo poo game that it goes right over your head that people are mocking you, I just want you to show your work and you can't even do that

I'm down with this, French Revolutionary RecetteLeandrear: An Adventurer's Tavern's Tale is a good idea.

However I am concerned about how we'll get to see executions by means of guillotines if we are not able to leave the tavern. Unless the execution platform is just outside, of course.

This is a great idea! Execution day could be a cinematic that plays in an external video player that pops up over the game window! Then you could get more customers from all the excitement who want something to remember the day by!

First 14 months is the tavern and posting on something awful. Then another 14 months to complete the game.

In the second half of the game Leandre takes his second turn and moves into melee range of King's Captain. Whether he manages to hit or miss will be resolved in Thermidor: The End of the Beginning.

Hmmm, I was thinking it would be more broken down into minigames where Leandre desperately searches for some kind of lube before all the kings horses and all the kings men gang-rape him.

Honestly a game where you run a tavern during some very turbulent historical times that you get a glimpse at via visitor interactions would loving own. It would work for the French Revolution but for Nazi Germany as well. There would be the progression of the historical situation changing as well and you could for example save people trying to hide from the oppression or cooperate with the government/mob etc. Running a business during oppressive times - basically a fusion of Recettear and Papers, Please! with your choices making it possible to even get you killed if you don't play things smart.
