Yesssssss, I made the cut. Best payoff for calling someone a oval office all week. Or maybe it was being called out for loving literal plagiarism. Edit: the ignore list being relatively small hilariously means they're not picking up on the subtler hostility. I can't think of a single outright positive response in the thread. Rev.

Sole.Sushi posted:My favorite ending is when Ron shows up and saves the day, all mary sue style then puts the evil people who look an awful lot like everyone on his ignore list into the guillotine. That is not a bad idea... Rough Lobster posted:OP is your full name Ronald? If so, why do you choose to go with the cookie-cutter nickname Ron when you could use the daring and innovative Nald? My full name is Ron, which means "dragon" in chinese, "cheerful song" in Hebrew, and "theory" in Japanese. Quite happy with that.

I used to be a huge metalhead though, and Pantera for me were just the most amazing group of musicians in the world. Luckily, my taste in music has changed vastly (: Check these guys out - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGjt2btKAUE Oh, and the game will be released for iOS as well. The Crusher posted:At first I thought "Ooh, this poor foreign dude doesn't have a really good grasp of internet tendencies, let alone the Something Awful forums", but for as much as this has developed and for as dedicated HDB as a whole seemingly have been with these and other promotions I'm assuming they're just jerks who happen to be developing a game. Thank you for the good advice, I agree with a lot of what you said. I will check out the Making Games thread, thanks! And yes, we are well aware of our current situation, and are looking at all of our options. Stumpus posted:Don't you know that the jerky guy isn't Ron? Ron is the cool guy who posts and is super knowledgeable.

And as mentioned a few times already, KS doesn't accept Japanese accounts, so we went with Indiegogo. aw only #9? was hoping to crack the top 5 at least  also this is a hilarious amount of words for a game that does not, and will not, exist

Ron, why did you name your band Balangist? That sounds suspiciously similar to Falangist.

We've been working on an animated intro for Thermidor, which shows the events preceding the start of the game. It is still a draft, but check it out, and let me know your thoughts! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgjS532bsJE hyperdevbox fucked around with this message at 05:39 on Jan 10, 2017 |

And if you know Hebrew and love games for nerds, you might want to check out the forums game Paradise Lost. We're deciding the best way to kill a giant scorpion creature because it doesn't love El. Now that's a JRPG setting I'd be heavily into. France is cool, but drat, totally ripped muscle dudes, giant monsters and stuff? Piety and all that kinda noise? Intrigue? Secrets? No real idea what's going on around you? Could rock the world of tactical Japanese role playing games.

El's the only real god, now you must die. Expect to be hewn in half with this sword reforged out of armor pieces from a hundred decadent mighty men who also turned away from El. (I miss the Judah game)

SniperWoreConverse posted:C'mon man, gimme some deets I can really sink my teeth into. Sorry, there aren't many deets I can give you about the animation. We've created this draft with the music for now, and at some point will continue working on it. Right now, to be honest, we are working on more important things, such as - Changing the dialogue screen characters to a better looking 2D character animation, and on other parts of the game that will better showcase it. Regarding the giant scorpion monster, there is only one way to kill him - build a giant guillotine and lure him to it using a freshly boiled lobster!

Baron Corbyn posted:Are you actually working on the game? Are you a programmer in addition to a musician? Truly a modern day renaissance man. Thank you! Actually, I do a lot here at HyperDevbox, but programming is not one of them. When the game gets funded (one way or another), all I will be doing is focusing on creating a great soundtrack for the game, and that is where my real passion is.

Wait so the guy who started the threads got fired? And now the composer is doing PR? Hey man, if you're gonna give this whole PR thing another shot maybe take everyone off your ignore list and give actual interaction another shot. If you want to do better than the last guy, step 1 is to take your fingers out of your ears and realize that maybe the giant list of people who offended the last guy actually had some valid things to say! Someone who's not ignored quote dis so my homeslice Ron can see it

I brought this up before but I'm not really sure how we're supposed to relate to a criminal protagonist (not some random oppressive raid as evidence by him running from the tavern at the sight of the constabulary who don't start smashing the tavern up and instead give chase) who commits another crime against someone in a lower economic bracket (son of successful tavern owners who can afford to waste considerable quantities of food for a good chuckle) as he avoids responsibility for his actions just because he got some chick's handkerchief and saw her get pushed into a carriage without context (they could have been her bodyguards/household guards). I mean already I have an active dislike of the protagonist just from that in-progress intro based purely upon his behavior. His character actually seems to be kind of a repugnant egotist and possible sociopath.

He works/lives in a tavern which serves food.

But you had to go and do that... with a screenshot and all!  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. But now you've ruined all of that, so never mind.
