As we all know anime is causing the younger people of Japan to not have sex with eachother which will lead to a loss of up to a third of the population and will be an absolute disaster for the Japanese social security system. Isn't it immoral to continue with this project?

I'm really confused why he stole the apple. He works/lives in a tavern which serves food.

Because it's what a dashing rogue type would do, like Aladdin.

That's it, it's a gratuitous act of theft for the purposes of establishing a style based on Disney movie devil-may-care character archetypes.

Yo, Fructidor is shaping up to be a monster and the author is looking for goon devs now:

Now I just gotta implement some scoring/progress and make it fun to play.

Also, I might need someone to help out with the following, since I've realized I need all the time I have to finish the gameplay:

-Art (3D Fruits , Environment, 2D/UI Graphics)
-Sound Effects
-Music

PM me if you're interested!

Maybe you could PM him hyperdevbox - it looks like the music+sound effects position on that project could be right up your alley.

The reason I sent you a link to one of my band's tracks is because you said it was lovely (I'm presuming before even listening to it), so I thought that maybe after you gave it a listen you might change your mind.

OK!

Anyway, the 2D animations for the dialogue screen are looking good, and it looks like we should be able to showcase them by Thursday!
We have also added some new cooler looking images to better introduce the characters, and also an improved timeline showing the first four battle stages.

I'll keep you updated!

So how about the actual gameplay, you know, the part anyone here would remotely give a poo poo about and the part you guys should probably work on before tightening up the graphics on dialogue windows

you know, the "tactical RPG" part of your Tactical JRPG

how's that part coming along

Box Devs keep saying they'll get the game funded "one way or another". There's no way in hell this will ever get crowdfunded (unless the goal is lowered to somewhere around 800 dollars during the next iteration), and a publisher wouldn't throw money at this in a million years. What's the plan here?

Let it never be said I didn't try before pissing into a well.

Hi OP, I'm a guy who spent about 600 bucks on various video game kickstarters with currently very little to show for it. I'm not upset by this and would gladly step onto that rake again.

Your approach to crowdfunding is not gonna work. Straight up. I'm telling it to you as a shining omen that streaks across the heavens.

You say the reason the game still hasn't got a proper workable demo is because of personal reasons? Well guess what, those reasons are no longer personal as soon as crowdfunding enters the fray. Valdas Story's dev had a death in the family which was responsible for the delay. Cross Code's devs admitted to schedule slips being caused by Overwatch (they made up for it with a lot of fantastic improvements to their game). Dysfunctional Systems 2 fell through and the lead dev posted a post-mortem, and I understood, was saddened and I did not ask for my 150 bucks back. We are people, we can emphasize.
On the flip side, Star Citizen is losing their white knights because they have little to show for it. And that game is miraculously more playable than yours. Which, seriously, for shame dude. Mighty Number 9 did this (among other crowdfunding nonos) and its reputation speaks for itself.

The second your personal reasons affect your game, they stop being personal. That's what you pay for crowdfunding.

Why don't you just make an anime instead of a game? What I'm seeing now is a pitch for a kickstarter anime movie but not so much a game.

The scene in the opening video, where the police come to Leandre's house, has nothing to do with the kidnapping!
Leandre always gets in to trouble with the police...
And after he manages to escape from them, he meets Armandine for the first time. They go out and enjoy each other's company for most of the day, until she suddenly gets kidnapped by unknown men.
And that's when the game begins.
