Your indie gogo claims state of the art 3D graphics, the screenshots look like 2002-2004 state of the art. Are they just place holder graphics? It's okay to use a Playstation 1 style graphics it can add to the charm but if you are claiming state of the art these are not 8k in your face wow graphics.

The art style is cute, the 3D models, while not AWFUL are no where near professional and clash with the art style which is more prominent in your advertising so far. The story is being touted as a major selling point but we have almost no example of writing quality or direction aside from Japanese/French voice acting and what seems to be the only scene organized so far which is the Tavern (I'm assuming it's a mock up and the only gameplay made that looks playable). How do things function outside of combat? Is there a fully explorable 3D world a la traditional JRPGs, or does it take more of a date sim/Phoenix Wright approach of location selection with backdrop+character+textbox? How far along is the game in production (if you were to estimate) and how much of it is solely dependent on reaching the crowd funding goal? Good luck. Game development is hell.

This is not a mock up, video and screenshot are made using the real game engine, of course it is an alpha version of the engine, not totally implemented with all the features yet since we need the funding to do so. If you check the indiegogo crowdfunding campaign, you will see that our estimated date of delivery is December 2017, how far we are so far, we would say, enough to have this technical demo and engine up and running, now we need to add the game content and dialogues out of the story-line. The game is not a full open world, it is a world made of several 3D locations (mostly in Paris, but some in the surroundings), you can picture it as in the style of a Jeanne D'Arc. Thank you for your warm wish, game development is not something new for us but we agree that it is a hard work to do because of all the platforms, market fragmentation and cost inflation.

I believe in the cause, ok?? hyperdevbox posted:Hi, Hey man for all intents and purposes this definitely looks like you guys' first full-fledged game, even if it isn't it doesn't really reflect well on the developers as a whole when you get so defensive when people criticize your artwork/assets. Remember, you're representing your entire studio on a public forum! Also "realistic" style is not even remotely what I get from either the artwork or the in-game assets, sorry. People are probably going to expect a very anime-type game because your characters basically look like what Japanese animators think 18th-century white people look like.

You guys have barely rendered a single tavern with like 3 character models and have precisely 0 gameplay footage. In fact your gameplay explanations consist largely of crude, borderline unintelligible sketches, rather then actual in-game demonstrations of gameplay. Just a heads up that this doesn't exactly inspire someone to help you reach your quarter of a million dollar goal.

$487 on the first day not bad!  You have my full spiritual support but unfortunately I don't believe in keeping my money in banks so I can't send you the $35,000 I would otherwise donate. Also OP you should put your kickstarter address on your first post in the thread. Just a protip.

NO , it is not "rendered" like rendered in a 3D software and YES, it is full realtime gameplay recorded on PC, if you took the time to check our pitch video before posting, you would have seen gameplay footage played on a big TV screen running strong at 60 fps. As for asking the crowd to fund a game development, it is the main concept of the crowdfunding, if you want to buy a complete game, browse the steam catalog ^^

Say, you mention that there are features missing from the rendering engine that you guys are awaiting further funding on to tackle. What kind of features are we talking about? Also, our friend is accurate (despite you claiming that his lack of game dev experience makes his opinion null amd void): just because the game is running in realtime doesn't mean it isn't being rendered -- key word being realtime. You're touting that what you currently do have is running at 60 fps, but that doesn't mean much without context of the hardware you're running on and, more importantly, what the job is. Prokhor Zakharov said that what you are currently showing of the game (a fairly spartan room with a handfull of characters idling and/or moving a bit) isn't a whole lot to go on for pledging money. The fact that this is running at 60 fps should at the very least be expected: his whole point is that there isn't much going on, so why would the system be taxed by that? Also, for the record and since it looks like it matters for some reason, I am a game dev with many AAA releases under my belt.

In general it does matter to know about what you are talking about and/or criticizing about if you do not want to be seen as a troll. I agree, all 3D games are "rendered" by the GPU, it does become realtime gameplay if you do have some kind of interactivity with the game like we have, Prokhor Zakharov claim that we have 0 gameplay is simply false, I just pointed that ! The hardware used during the recording was a notebook + nvidia geforce gt640m, 1920x1080 HDMI out.

No I'm not a game developer, but I do make a comfortable living with creative endeavors, and if I went to my publisher with half a paragraph scrawled on a torn-out sheet of notebook paper and said, "Hey this should give you a great idea of the 90,000 other words I'll (probably) write, please forward me $250,000 and I'll (maybe) finish it at some point." then I'd be laughed out of her loving office. A big part of what I do is knowing how to market myself and my work, something you could stand to take a few lessons on. Crowdfunding has gotten more and more contentious over the years as there have been a number of very high profile, very public failures, and to come in here with little to no pedigree, little to no actual game to show, and just some vague descriptions of your core gameplay mechanics, doesn't make me want to give you money. Like, why is this even a crowdfunding campaign? Did you guys get turned down by conventional publishers, and if so, why? Why do you need so much money? Have you guys maybe considered scaling your game back a bit (eliminating voice work alone would save you a loving ton of money)? You haven't given a lot of information, you've given bizarre answers to very basic questions, and now you pull out the ol' "WELL WHAT HAVE YOU CREATED" chestnut (literally the go-to defense for the creatively bankrupt). Then you follow it up with the equally antique "WELL IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT DON'T BUY IT." Be careful with those and make sure you blow the dust off them before you put them back in the museum. hyperdevbox posted:As for asking the crowd to fund a game development, it is the main concept of the crowdfunding, if you want to buy a complete game, browse the steam catalog ^^ This is exactly what I'm gonna do and the fact that I am should really worry you because otherwise a tactical rpg would be right in my wheelhouse ^^

Game dev frameworks are dime a dozen these days and loading character models and textures into something that has zero game logic behind it is rather easy. You guys never interact with the game in the video. And since the "gameplay" demonstration at no point shows anything resembling your own code running at the background, would it hurt that much to show, for instance, the player character attacking someone and demonstrating any semblance of damage calculation? Wouldn't that be pretty much an essential requirement for a Proof of Concept, and even more for a crowdfunding pitch? It kinda makes it look like you guys don't have the development resources to see this project through even if you somehow hit the crowdfunding goal.
