I'm very happy that Thermidor JRPG has managed to gain another three backers and the accompanying 0.0354% progress towards their goal!

I hate when my sisters barges in and I'm trying to shade the nipples on my Daemonettes UGH GET OUT

How much of my inheritance should go into funding Thermidor, which looks like it will be one of the greatest works of art of the twenty-first century?

I don't know why you guys are giving HypnoformCube such a hard time. I can tell that over four months have been spent making the crowdfunding page. The early gameplay looks amazing! How much money did they spend developing the game this far? It all shows up in that video and these screenshots. This is Triple A (A+++) stuff here from a dev that brought us Argest War, Blazing Souls, and Spectral Souls. You can't argue with a track record like that.

I'm sure now that Christmas is over, money will come pouring into the crowdfund. The small amount gathered so far is, I'm sure, just the pittance given by the SuperMakeBox families to "prime the pump", as it were.

What is this kid's DEAL?!

Let's say a guillotine is haunted by the ghosts of everyone who died beneath the blade. The accumulated spooky power is now enough for the haunting to drag the machine it is bound to along with it.

What kind of moves should it have in turn-based JRPG combat?

Only actual attack is a one hit instakill on any enemy, but the trick is the enemy has to be on the same square. Movement is extremely terrible due to it being a goddamn guillotine, but it has non damaging magic that can trick / hypnotize guys into moving closer and closer

I didn't see if the OP answered this yet but why did you go with Indiegogo and not Kickstarter? As a fellow jabroni who makes things people don't really want I wouldn't be able to make any money off IGG because their internal marketing is shithouse.

Should still be playable from dropbox
https://www.dropbox.com/home/Public/Discreet%20Deliveries%201.1.1%20web?preview=Discreet+Deliveries+1.1.1+web.html

Game needed to sort objectives better since you might have to pull some 180s in a truck, which it behaves like a truck.Menu was also thrown together a few hours before the deadline and is bad. Actual game play is fun though.

2013 game dev was fun, first game I made, and actually only game still. I should try doing something for this 2 week jam. Here's the gameplay footage.

We asked the wrong kinds of questions. They're a busy dev studio, they don't have time for pointless questions like "how does the battle system work" or "how about some actual screenshots/footage that aren't all from the same 10-second gameplay loop that's been shown since the start"|

I'm honestly amazed they even took the time to open up for questions at all, and it's no surprise to me that they stopped answering after the deluge of irrelevant badgering coming out of this thread.

I did this and could have stopped it, but nothing in nature ever follows a gaussian curve. Sure, they'll tell you that it does. They say that every five minutes someone dies in a car accident, but how often are there seven hundred and sixty one armless and legless corpses in one hangar?
I would like to reiterate that perhaps guillotines are not as cool as we once thought. Perhaps the way forward is power gauntlets.

Don't be such a squid, bro
Maybe instead of a traditional guillotine that nearly decapitates the victim we could incorporate a bold new redesign that's rotated 90 degrees and comes down and splits a dudes head and neck in half, gruesomely.

Why are they measuring their achievements in gigabytes? Is large file size a good thing for mobile games? :confused:

I have it on good authority that this is the post end game expansion area boss that'll be implemented when they reach the £300,000 mark. It's the descendant of the player and whatever guillotine you romance, turned evil and come back from the future you see.

From when I remember hearing about the game when it was new, the game is actually incredibly misleading with its marketing as the "sexy" stuff is apparently pretty rare and the rest of the game is a very monotonous and boring strategy game with a tremendous amount of pointless resource management.

And you better believe their website does its very best to make you think they made all those games, with tiny notes that they're only published by Hyperdevbox... on the specific game pages, not the index.

Seriously, look at it and tell me they don't want you to think that they're as involved with making Agarest War as Thermidor.
