Btw if anybody is curious I'm the anonymous backer that pledged $300. It's definitely not one of the developers' moms.

Hi,

The art in the game is exactly as previously shown in the screenshots so one is free to like it or not, maybe you were expecting to see MOE type of graphic but we want to bring something more "realistic" in the style, sorry if it does not please you, also keep in mind those are not the final models and we will refine them as the development is progressing . This is not a mock up, video and screenshot are made using the real game engine, of course it is an alpha version of the engine, not totally implemented with all the features yet since we need the funding to do so. If you check the indiegogo crowdfunding campaign, you will see that our estimated date of delivery is December 2017, how far we are so far, we would say, enough to have this technical demo and engine up and running, now we need to add the game content and dialogues out of the story-line. The game is not a full open world, it is a world made of several 3D locations (mostly in Paris, but some in the surroundings), you can picture it as in the style of a Jeanne D'Arc.

Thank you for your warm wish, game development is not something new for us but we agree that it is a hard work to do because of all the platforms, market fragmentation and cost inflation.

Hey man for all intents and purposes this definitely looks like you guys' first full-fledged game, even if it isn't it doesn't really reflect well on the developers as a whole when you get so defensive when people criticize your artwork/assets. Remember, you're representing your entire studio on a public forum!

Also "realistic" style is not even remotely what I get from either the artwork or the in-game assets, sorry. People are probably going to expect a very anime-type game because your characters basically look like what Japanese animators think 18th-century white people look like.

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 ^^

So it's a bog-standard battle system except there's a saving throw to determine if an enemy in your vicinity will shoot you in the face as you move

We will be able to do in Thermidor some team actions that are not available (to my knowledge) in other common tactical turn based jrpgs, for example Leandre has a good experience shooting with the riffle but he currently has no riffle in his hand, one enemy carry a riffle, another member of your party, in position to attack the enemy, will try to inflict enough hit damages to the enemy to have the riffle dropped, then will move , pick the riffle and throw it to Leandre (who was in the vicinity), Leandre can now shoot with the riffle, just an example of a possible scenario.

Front Mission 4 did this

Also some legit advice: if you're releasing a game in English, get someone who has good English to do your PR. In all honesty I'm not trolling you here, but that paragraph was extremely hard to understand. Also misspelling game-critical elements like "rifle" doesn't bode well for your game script TBH.

Come on highperdevbox, where's the updates? Where's the posts? Where's the ongoing efforts to answer questions and engage people? This lack of communication isn't how to get your game over the hump and collect the remaining $239,198 you need!

We asked the wrong kinds of questions. They're a busy dev studio, they don't have time for pointless questions like "how does the battle system work" or "how about some actual screenshots/footage that aren't all from the same 10-second gameplay loop that's been shown since the start"|

I'm honestly amazed they even took the time to open up for questions at all, and it's no surprise to me that they stopped answering after the deluge of irrelevant badgering coming out of this thread.

A study in how 2 completely different faces can still give off identical creepy/rapey vibes

also no amount of perspective/angle handwaving can change the fact that homeboy has a normal-sized upper arm and weird Trump-esque tiny baby forearm and hand.
