That was INSANE! guillotiiiiiiiiiiiiiine!
But seriously, there will be no guillotines in the game...
The game takes place in the year 1789, and they haven't been used yet (as far as I know).
the guillotines were largely used during the "period of terror" from 1793~94.

Yeah, isn't that like making Haiti: the Revolutioning and not letting you play as Toussaint murdering plantation owners with a machete?

Thank you very much, sir.
We are very excited about finishing and releasing this game ^^
But the crowdfunding campaign needs to reach the goal, so people sharing and being involved in the conversation is all we need right now!

how about we just straight up tell the op that this kinda poo poo is frowned upon, specially if its to shill a loving game and talking about spreading the word on social networks (like seriously dude, could you be even more transparent about promoting your game?), and then move on with our dumb lives, one day closer to the grave

hyperdevbox posted:

Yes, we DO want this game to succeed and see the light of day, but we are making this game the way we feel it should be, and not necessarily what "the public" wants.

There will be guillotines in this game. One of the developers is an IRL friend of mine, and he says everyone but the OP wants guillotines.

FactsAreUseless posted:

Well, they had to. The public has guillotines.

Who changed the name of this post?
How is that possible? And, how do I change it back?

hyperdevbox posted:

We sincerely hope it can be fixed and the thread can be set back to the original title ASAP because it is not a glitch which did impersonate us and changed the title to something different. Not a random title thought, but something to please the paid posting crowd. OP has no way to edit themselves titles, or maybe there is a new 10$ option somewhere to do that, hard to tell. We understand that to keep a forum full of paid members it does requires to keep them entertained to some extend but for now, we will refrain posting anything until we can be sure that forum rules are enforced and respected, thread titles and post are not "manipulated" in a way to convey a total different message than the one posted originally.

If the OP doesn't post soon I think we need to ban him and erase any traces of this thread, and Thermidor JRPG.

Why would developers have to stop to make a crowdfunding page? Why?

FactsAreUseless posted:

I changed the thread title because you used the phrase "juicy screenies" to refer to game screenshots, and I liked it. Since the title referred to game screenshots, it was a change that made sense. This is normal. Threads that run for a bit get new titles based on things said in the threads.

Sorry but you obviously have no idea what you are talking about, are you a game developer ? What have you done so far ? 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 ^^

I am not ! I have fully answered ^^

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.


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 ^^

hyperdevbox posted:

That is funny because, usually, it is EXACTLY how advance on royalty works when you develop a video game for a publisher..., either a working prototype or simply a game design document, so maybe you did not choose the right job after all ^^

Our working prototype is demonstrated in the pitch video.

Since other professionals are pitching in: if you don't have enough business sense to present yourself professionally and insist on writing out paragraphs filled with poor grammar and awkward sentences, as well as nebulous answers lacking the technical depth that people are asking about, why should I believe that you can produce a quality title worth investing in when there are 100's of other SRPGs I could check out instead? Also, you're getting defensive. Don't be dumb. This is marketing 101, guys. Surely you can hire a PR guy if your earlier projects were such hits.

Link us to your earlier projects, maybe that'll boost your credibility.

"consice" and "communciating" .... yes, please keep the good work Mr professional/technical writer !

As Hyperdevbox Japan, we have an official public website where details about past published games are available, ...now what about you ? who are you ? Please kindly link some of your earlier projects so we can check the result of your past campaigns, maybe that will boost your credibility more than any of your post in here...

Please calm down,

We are having civilized discussion here, he asked us about references because we are a game developer, it is a legit question and I replied, he/she introduced himself as a professional writer, i am asking the same so does it work only one way here ?
