I still think you're not showing what anyone is actually looking for in preview content and just ignoring advice you don't like. That's no way to run a kickstarter or successful game project.

That's no way to run a kickstarter or successful game project. I am not ignoring any advice! We take in to consideration all of your suggestions, and the ones that we agree on should hopefully be implemented in the game. These things take time! One of the biggest suggestions/complaints about Thermidor, was the 3D characters in the dialogue screen. And we are now actually working on changing it completely! Regarding the preview content, it exists everywhere, and with a simple search, one can find all the screenshots and graphics that we have of the game thus far. Not to mention, the Indiegogo page has ALL of it. I wanted to keep this thread simple and un-cluttered, with straight-forward conversations and updates. And hopefully (fingers crossed) no foul language.

Question: Why are you titling a French Revolution game that takes place in 1789 and self-consciously sets out to be "the beginning" with a name that unavoidably calls to mind the events of 9 Thermidor Year II (July 27, 1794) when the most radical phase of the Revolution ended? Why are you combining Republican calendar months with Gregorian calendar years? Can we have at least one guillotine in the game so that this naming/dating choice makes even a little bit of sense?

in all seriousness OP in my downtime from running tuptaluk and bribing the UN i have tried to make an indie game myself and it is hard work. i appreciate what you guys are doing and i want to support you, but my advisor talsaksakmisemwi is just not having any of it. he sees this is as frivolous. i think i am supporting the arts, and i really like this concept. please respond ASAP.

You loving suck OP and your game is doomed to stagnate at a whopping .4% of your lofty kickstarter goal if your response to criticism is putting people on ignore and starting new threads you don't loving belong in game design or any creative venture whatsoever. Hand-waving away valid criticisms of your half-assed piece of poo poo game is only going to alienate any minuscule target audience you may have had. You'll notice in the other thread that people have now discovered that you've been shilling the same bullshit all over the internet, and nobody gives a flying gently caress (although the fact that you've raised a whopping $802 is a pretty good indicator of the same thing) Another reason you're a piece of poo poo is because you melted down over people accusing you of being bad at making video games and went all "well let's see YOUR video game then " and now you're completely ignoring the fact that yes, multiple people in the thread have experience with game development, and yes, someone is right now working on a game for the game jam thread and it's going to be a finished product by 1 person with zero budget, which is more than you can say with a full team and tons of time. Cancel your bullshit IGG campaign and go back to the drawing board. People gave you tons of valid criticisms and you refuse to take any of it in any constructive way at all. Post a Banme thread and consider the fact that despite what you think are your best efforts at spreading PR for this game, you've raised $802 from 22 people, and I'm willing to bet that a good chunk of those people are either part of your studio or directly related. It's loving unbelievable that you've learned absolutely nothing and are still dismissing all criticism. You had literally under a dozen posts in that whole thread with genuine interest, but you reacted to that interest with bullshit handwaving and outright hostility. gently caress you, OP.

Like I'll assume that we're actually talking about a span of time in the year 1789 that would be called the month of Thermidor later. Does the whole game take place between the days of July 19th and August 17th? Why, what's the focus point here? The biggest deal events I can think of in this time are the abolition of feudalism and the "Great Fear," although the later took place in scattered areas of the countryside whereas this seems to be a very Paris-centered game. We're too late for the fall of the Bastille and too early for the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen. Does the game tell a story that connects these events? What is even going on.

hyperdevbox posted:One of the biggest suggestions/complaints about Thermidor, was the 3D characters in the dialogue screen. And we are now actually working on changing it completely! Really? That is the biggest complaint you have currently accepted about Thermidor... Instead of blaming others and taking everything as a personal insult maybe consider a concept called constructive criticism. I mean really you have argued with some people here who develop games for a living and were trying to help you. You've been willing to tell an AAA game dev that you know better than they do it. Your $800 bucks on kickstarter sure proves that... "hyperdevbox posted:But as an adult man, I choose to try and ignore them, and continue with the task in hand. A real "adult" is someone mature enough to not be personally mentally heartbroken over internet horseplay and jokes. A mature person is willing to take constructive criticism and willing to learn from her mistakes and most importantly be willing to admit they are wrong and own up to their mistakes. Anyway time for you to be an "adult" and put any opinion you don't like on to the ignore list. Jokes aren't an adult thing they are they? Oh dear.

There might be some connections to real historical events, but at the moment we are focusing more about the story of the two main characters and their adventures together. lalaland posted:Whoa stop you're gonna make him cry That's OK. Some people just don't understand how to convey opinions in a proper manner. I was actually going to reply to him, but then why should I reply to someone who tries to insult rather than bringing forward his point. And as for the music, you should definitely check those two artists out (; Kelp Me! posted:I'm really just posting into the void since that moron probably already put me on ignore.

What are you going to do when you don't get funded? You haven't had any donations for about a week now and you're at $800/$25000. Unless you somehow start racking up $10k a day you're dead in the water. Do you have any alternative means of finding this? Don't you think the lack of interest in funding this is going to be reflected by a lack of sales? Do you think it might be best to cut your losses and just make Real Snowglobe 2?

You literally have not responded to a single point of criticism with anything but defensive handwaving or deflection or straight-up ignoring the comments. You closed your thread and started a new one instead of actually responding to criticisms with anything but bullshit like "well did you even watch our video?!" Even now you're just responding with the same fluff instead of addressing anybody's valid criticisms. People are making fun of you and insulting you because they tried genuine constructive criticism and you ignored it.

Nuns with Guns posted:hyperdevbox: right now how optimistic are you that your game is going to get funded through the current campaign? what mistakes do you think you've made so far in marketing your game? what intelligent choices do you think you've made in marketing it? For this current campaign, I can't say we are too optimistic, but that is irrelevant, as we are going to continue working on this game and find ways to help us fund it one way or another. This is our first ever crowdfunding campaign, and none of us are experts in the field. We've made some mistakes in marketing the game and presenting it, but have definitely learnt a lot, and are working constantly to improve our pitch. Marketing the game in three languages (soon four!) was a very good idea, as it is helping in gaining a larger audience in countries where English isn't very strong (Japan & France). Nuns with Guns posted:also how many people are on your ignore list right now? Sadly, a lot.

One guy in the last thread wrote a solid post giving you constructive criticism and your response was "well where's your game, huh?" At one point you degenerated to calling someone's opinion into question because they misspelled a word (despite the fact that your posts and your IGG page repeatedly misspelled the word "rifle" which is a pretty crucial thing to get right considering your game's setting. Grow a thicker skin. You're really going to ignore people if you don't like the way they talk to you?

I truly believe that the concept of the game is very cool, and since we will do our very best to make the game lots of fun to play, we have confidence that it will be successful.

actually I have a few more questions: the guy running your account here is the composer for the game, right? why pick a video game composer over a professional PR person? You say you're marketing this game in three (soon four) languages, so have you consulted with PR people fluent in the languages and cultures to see how you can best attract people to fund you? what outreach steps have you done besides making posts here and some other video game forums? speaking of that, why pay to register an account here of all places?
