Why did you guys decide to set this game during the French Revolution, anyways?

To guillotine a shitload of people, of course!

Smaller guillotines, what the gently caress do you think they'd look like? :confused:

I'm just saying that if I can guillotine this chick, my backer level will go from $250-ish to at least 30k.

Will you include customized guillotines as a backer reward?

There will be no guillotines in the game, because chopping off people's heads is pretty gory, and we don't really want that in Thermidor.

But shooting people with futuristic rifles isn't?!

Having a little issue and looking for help.I got the game today and tried to install it. I put in Disc 1 and the install screen appears, but the install screen shows no progress. All it says is "estimated 2 minutes left" and those 2 minutes are endless. The version I have is the boxed version with the bonus content on the disk. My girlfriend tried to install the game on her computer and it worked perfectly - the launcher immediately started installing the game. Biggest difference between systems is that I use Windows 10 and she uses Windows 7. The disk drive itself is external and worked for her computer, so I don't think it is the drive.

I've tried to install the game more than 50 times now. At first I waited one hour because I thought it might just need some time to think, but no luck.I have 57GB of SSD space left, and my computer itself is a Microsoft Surface Pro 2. Has anyone else had this issue or know of a fix?

I didn't have any trouble with my copy, but I've got the 5�-inch floppy version. :shrug:

It's a pretty serious accusation here on SA to accuse that the forum rules have been broken. Which rule do you think was broken and what should the moderation team do about it?

Even moreso when he doesn't point to a culprit. Whatever you think the Mo-Mos should do, they have to have someone to do it to.

As most likely the only person on the team able to read code you could probably sneak in some guillotines into the game that could be enabled with a highly controversial console command.

The code should be to type in 'Hot Coffee' (Coffee being a euphemism for execution via guillotine in revolutionary-era France)

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

Well it's this sort of attitude which has doomed many a goon project. Not even giving them a chance to finish, smh. You're condemning Thermidor JRPG to be the next Zyborne Clock when it could be the next Groverhaus.

The game takes place entirely in one tavern and you learn about the revolution from various soldiers coming and going, like an 18th century version of Cheers.

I'm down with this, French Revolutionary ~~Recette~~Leandrear: An Adventurer's Tavern's Tale is a good idea.

However I am concerned about how we'll get to see executions by means of guillotines if we are not able to leave the tavern. Unless the execution platform is just outside, of course.

The point I'm trying to make is: Let me see Leandre's end game skills, alternate outfits, reactionary emotes to embarrassing in-game events. Also why did you decide to go with a non-cel shaded look for your 3D models that have a wildly different art style from their anime rendition? And honestly how hard would it be to make a simple 3D model of a guillotine that would be examinable for Leandre to be all "Wow, this thing looks like it could do something awful to someone's neck!" giving a well-deserved nudge to the Something Awful pioneers of your game's birth and a nice tip-of-the-cap to the Mo-Mo's for stickying your thread?

Whoa what the gently caress? I thought you'd be able to choose whether to be a revolutionary or a reactionary, now you're telling me you have to be reactionary?

Bullshit. Preorder cancelled.

Okay here's your first problem: I started watching your little video about the game and ended up skipping around it for a minute, laughing at the 'cutscene' thing of a bunch of characters appearing very briefly (It literally looks like a game released on the PS1 in 1997 or so, like we're talking Suikoden without any of that game's charm), and then closing it.

Realtalk; I don't give a gently caress. And that's bad. Because I'm the kind of shitbird you should be able to expect to be very interested. I love games from the era you're trying to emulate, I'm into Revolutionary France as an era, I like SRPGs. I'm the platonic loving ideal of your target audience. And you have nothing here that sells me on this game. You have nothing here that says "Wow this game mite b cool, I'll see if I can spare $30 (lol) to back it, it could pan out into something I really enjoy.". Your intro video is not the time to talk about minutiae like taking eight damage or the ruffles on the heroine's dress or whatever the poo poo. That stuff should be in your crowdfunding campaign, but it's for down the line when you're working on the game in earnest and want to maintain interest and buzz among your backer community. Right now you need to be able to put out a short, snappy video that operates on the principle of "show don't tell", and if you can't do that then you're not ready to launch your crowdfunding campaign.

You've raised $717 bucks in a day, from a measly 19 people. And you've been sitting at that for hours. That's so pathetic that you should really pull the campaign down right this instant and take the time to implement a new one. Yes, you're at a disadvantage because you're not a big name studio. Obsidian raised their $1.1 million objective in under 24 hours for Pillars of Eternity, and that's a loving insane amount of money. But people know who Obsidian and Josh Sawyer are; we trust them to know how to make a modern isometric RPG like Baldur's Gate, and a whole lot of fans of New Vegas were willing to pitch in as well. Yooka-Laylee raised �175k (Not far short of your $240k objective) in thirty-eight minutes. Shenmue III hit $2mil in eight god drat hours. And you need to comprehend that you do not have this luxury. Nobody knows you from Adam. We don't have fond memories of your PS1 releases in the 90s. We don't remember your names scrolling by on a Credits roll after finishing something we still emulate today. On the other hand a lot of us have in fact been hungry for good SRPGs because it's been a long drat time since games like Front Mission 3 or Vandal Hearts, and you're still failing to excite or interest any of us.

Figure out your elevator pitch - SRPG set in Revolutionary France, okay, cool, I'm actually down with that in principle - and then figure out how to turn that pitch into an enticing video. What's going to make people share this on FB or link to it in their Discord channels or whatever? Yelling about how we don't understand ~your vision~ doesn't matter a drat bit. Your studio could be the medium's loving Rembrandt but if you can't get us on board without having to clarify and argue on this dead gay forum, let alone anywhere else online, then you've already failed.

e; Also you need to redesign some of your characters. Armandine is fine, but Leandre makes me want to punch him right in the mouth until he needs wooden teeth, and Leonce the Ponce genuinely looks like he eats poo poo.
