I still think you're not showing what anyone is actually looking for in preview content and just ignoring advice you don't like. That's no way to run a kickstarter or successful game project.

Holy poo poo have you seen the reddit post and the responses?

https://www.reddit.com/r/JRPG/comments/5jpais/thermidor_jrpg_by_hyperdevbox_japan/


My god. This guy has the thinnest skin I've seen on a dev.

Pretty much every forum said the same things or completely ignored it. Except for SA.

But we know that is because SA has true jrpg fans unlike Reddit and everywhere else.

Eh, in 1789 it wasn't that scary or violent.

By 1794 though, when the eponymous 9 Thermidor coup happened, it was really goddamn scary. So I am expecting the finale to this series to be a nightmarish loving whirlwind of escalating violence. (jk, I'm expecting it to never come out.)

Don't forget this is supposed to be a love story.

Your exciting demo battle is like the slowest thing I've ever seen ever. This is supposed to get people excited while looking attractive and cool? You should really take a step back and look at how long it takes to go through a turn as fast as you possibly can because holy poo poo that looks painful for one turn of movement, never mind actual combat. That is the majority of your game. You're expecting players to do that for thousands of turns across the game. You can't make that look amazing if your life depended on it.

Every single post seems to go back to the same problem each and every time. Just under all the generic anime curtains, the actual game you are trying to pitch to people looks terrible. You don't need any experience beyond "has played a strategy rpg before" to see something is really wrong with that gameplay. It's just that what everyone is saying here is just the most basic aspects of game design. People just shouldn't have to explain any of this and being hyper defensive just makes it look worse.

Instead they showed up with barely nothing and a shitload of attitude. Most intelligent devs at this point would either ditch the community entirely as a lost cause, or, if they're determined to stay, rise above the insults because they're trying to sell themselves to the community, so insulting the community isn't going to achieve anything other than wasting everyone's time. Like... cool HyperDevBox, you called someone a dick. What does that do to progress you toward your goal here at all?


Oh that's an easy one to understand. A quick google search gives the answer that these topics have been the only place to actually pay any attention to the project at all. All of the other forums either completely ignored it or had one guy saying looks bad. Ron was naive enough to fall for the fake compliments in the beginning and now is stuck with the only semblance of a community around the game being a bunch of people trying to explain why it's so bad.

Any attention is better than complete indifference.

Not that he can read this.

Oh please you know that there's no way he actually blocked anyone. He's too desperate for attention.

These French Revolution history posts are really interesting, thanks for taking the time!

Also more work than all of hyperdevbox's work on making their concept historically accurate.

Has this game failed yet?

If they keep extending the deadline then they will reach their goal in a quick 11700 days! That's only 32.5 years until they get to make this awesome game!

No you'll see all of those fans that totally exist for this game that no ones ever heard of will just flock in right at the end.
