Please can you confirm that Thermidor will have a similar 'breeding' system to hyperdevbox's acclaimed android rpg "RPG Record of Agarest War"



I'm sure I'm speaking for a lot of your audience when I say I would not want to miss out on the chance to 'soul-breed' with revolutionaries of questionable age.

i'd soul breed with the question mark shadow

This actually looks a lot better than I had expected from that announcement teaser. The character models look a bit wonky but otherwise it seems competently made. Not at all the RPG maker game I was expecting to see. So good job?

Your post on the uniforms made me curious, though. Is this a Japanese studio or are you a group of Frenchmen who decided to set up shop in Tokyo? Either way you are more knowledgeable on the subject of 1789 European uniforms than I am.


Thank you?
HyperDevbox Japan is a Japanese company owned by Frenchmen - Carlo Perconti, and consists of mainly a Japanese staff, but also other nationalities (myself included).
But, we all came from stardust, and that's where we shall return.

The soul-breeding system that was used in Record of Agarrest War was unique to that game, and we are not planning on copying and using it for Thermidor.
It just doesn't really fit the game...
Not to mention, this first chapter of Thermidor takes place during the first year of the revolution (1789), therefore a multi generation feature is simply not possible.
But, it's not impossible that in future chapters we will implement Thermidor's own mating system.
In a nutshell, the game will be more focused on the story line, rather than on breeding characters etc'.

Omnicarus posted:

The game will have an in-game currency that will be used to buy items/weapons/ammunition etc', at the shop, but we DO NOT plan on mixing in-game currency with real world currency, such as Bitcoin.
As a reminder, Thermidor won't have any IAP! It will be a full premium paid game.
Though, as mentioned earlier, there might be DLCs for extra levels/characters etc' in the future, depending on the success of the game.
So, if you are a committed gamer, you will finish the game. If you are not, you will simply have to try harder... ^^
You won't be able to buy yourself out of trouble, or purchase your way to victory.



I would like to kindly remind you that you can subscribe to our newsletter in order to get informed when the campaign launches, and about other Thermidor news.

In general, we aren't planning on having any fantasy/magic per-say, but there will be some religious figures in the game that might have some "spiritual" powers, and a secret society with some "alchemist" type powers.
It also greatly depends on the game scenario, which is still being written as we speak.
There is still a big part of the game that we do not know yet!

I don't see any mention of the standard cliches that must be in every JRPG. Why isn't it schoolkids at some academy? Where are the silly haircuts and outrageously huge swords? You haven't even hinted at catgirls or other animal/human mixes. Is there at least a crazy loudmouth who actually turns out to be bashful? You must have the character who constantly tells you how average and boring they are right?
The union reps will be round with crowbars soon if you don't buck up.

Please make the ending montage/credits with all the bad guys and most of the good losing their heads while giving peace signs and big selfie smiles and held poses and end up on a set of shelves together wherein the end credits song ("Vive la Rose") plays and they join in one by one tia. Like it's fine not to have any guillotines in game but let's get real for a second here about how many people would be livid if they made NO appearance in the game regardless of historical accuracy.

I'd like to introduce to you the characters of Thermidor!

Léandre (main character)
He is a romanticist with the heart of an explorer.
He is a quick thinker, persuasive, and likes anything heroic or adventurous, though lazy when it comes to house chores or work.
He is also an excellent rifler, and can use a sword better than most people his age (19).




Armandine (main character)
She is a beautiful 18 year old daughter of an Aristocratic family. A perfectionist who enjoys improving herself.
She has skill in the piano, etiquette, rhetoric, history, literature, and languages. All in the hopes of marrying for power and wealth.
Although she prides herself on being the perfect lady, she did develop one guilty pleasure - fencing.




Léonce - Léandre's father
Léonce was the son of a soldier.
He later on followed his father's footsteps and served in the French army himself.
Now he owns the family tavern with his wife, and they try to make a normal living, and live a peaceful life, though constantly under the heel of the aristocracy.




Marie. - Léandre's mother
Marie grew up in a small home with many brothers and sisters.
They all grew up working in the same tavern that she and her husband currently run.
Unfortunately the tavern fell on hard times and her parents were forced to sell a number of their children.
Marie was one of them. She and a few of her siblings were placed on a wagon and taken away.
She was lucky enough to catch the eye of a nobleman. At his estate, she was well cared for, and was taught the ways of the court, manners and cooking.




Camille de la Marne - Armandines father
A noble French aristocrat, and a staunch traditionalist.
He is a highly influential noble in Paris. His most notable contribution is his alliance with Abbot Gregoire Ouvirard who is the head of a local monastery.
When his daughter begins to show affections to a commoner named Leandre, he goes through a lot of trouble to keep them separated.
Although he seems to be cruel on the outside, not one of his schemes includes killing the boy.




Emerance de la Marne - Armandine's mother
A noble aristocratic woman and a devoted romantic.
She is one of the few people who knows her husband's true intentions toward the common people.
She knows why he helps them and why he wants their daughter to marry another aristocrat.
But no matter how much she tries, she cannot bring herself to agree with marrying their daughter off like that.
She believes in the significance of love and that sometimes pain is the price of true love.




Thermimi




King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette

Louis XVI (King of France) Inherited the throne of France in 1774 when he was 19 years old.
Although he's often blamed for France's poor state at the time, he actually inherited much of the debt and sorry affairs France had been in.
He was socially awkward, cowardly, fat, shy, and easily manipulated.

Marie Antoinette (Queen of France) was a Habsburg Archduchess and the youngest daughter of the Holy Roman Emperor Francis I.
She was married to Louis XVI of France when she was 14.
She was light hearted, and loved music.
She grew up pampered and coddled.
She was very attractive and enjoyed being attractive to people.


That's it!
Let me know your thoughts ^^

By the way, our #dailyquiz about Thermidor's characters will end this coming Monday (31st), but you still have a chance to win a framed picture of Léandre signed by our staff.
All you have to do is comment your answer in the respective post, on either Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Google+.

It all looks pretty good but I'm thrown a little with the historical accuracy based on the concept art. Will there be rectangular paper bags like we have in the modern day that show up in the game proper? If so, then I would like to use that as a persuasive argument I'm not going to eloquently make in having our old friend Mr Headseperator show up as well.
