randombattle posted: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. I am not ignoring any advice! We take in to consideration all of your suggestions, and the ones that we agree on should hopefully be implemented in the game. These things take time! One of the biggest suggestions/complaints about Thermidor, was the 3D characters in the dialogue screen. And we are now actually working on changing it completely! Regarding the preview content, it exists everywhere, and with a simple search, one can find all the screenshots and graphics that we have of the game thus far. Not to mention, the Indiegogo page has ALL of it. I wanted to keep this thread simple and un-cluttered, with straight-forward conversations and updates. And hopefully (fingers crossed) no foul language.

jizzy sillage posted:poo poo, you mean i can't swear in your loving thread? I'd rather you didn't. But it all depends on the context... GunnerJ posted:Question: Why are you titling a French Revolution game that takes place in 1789 and self-consciously sets out to be "the beginning" with a name that unavoidably calls to mind the events of 9 Thermidor Year II (July 27, 1794) when the most radical phase of the Revolution ended? Why are you combining Republican calendar months with Gregorian calendar years? Can we have at least one guillotine in the game so that this naming/dating choice makes even a little bit of sense? GunnerJ posted:Like I'll assume that we're actually talking about a span of time in the year 1789 that would be called the month of Thermidor later. Does the whole game take place between the days of July 19th and August 17th? Why, what's the focus point here? The biggest deal events I can think of in this time are the abolition of feudalism and the "Great Fear," although the later took place in scattered areas of the countryside whereas this seems to be a very Paris-centered game. We're too late for the fall of the Bastille and too early for the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen. Does the game tell a story that connects these events? What is even going on.
There might be some connections to real historical events, but at the moment we are focusing more about the story of the two main characters and their adventures together. lalaland posted:Whoa stop you're gonna make him cry That's OK. Some people just don't understand how to convey opinions in a proper manner. I was actually going to reply to him, but then why should I reply to someone who tries to insult rather than bringing forward his point. And as for the music, you should definitely check those two artists out (; Kelp Me! posted:I'm really just posting into the void since that moron probably already put me on ignore. Even if he didn't I don't expect any of what i said to actually make an impact, OP has clearly proven himself to be completely "LALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU OUR GAME IS GOOD," his delusions are proven by the fact that he actually felt that people here gave enough of a poo poo to justify closing the last thread and opening this one Again, talk like a respectable human being, and I will reply. And "our game" is still in its infancy, so no one here claims that it is "good", as it hasn't been fully developed yet. But we are doing our best. Kelp Me! posted:It's blatantly obvious that OP isn't actually looking for any feedback and is just interested in shilling the game, so he should probably be banned anyway

Nuns with Guns posted:hyperdevbox: right now how optimistic are you that your game is going to get funded through the current campaign? what mistakes do you think you've made so far in marketing your game? what intelligent choices do you think you've made in marketing it? For this current campaign, I can't say we are too optimistic, but that is irrelevant, as we are going to continue working on this game and find ways to help us fund it one way or another. This is our first ever crowdfunding campaign, and none of us are experts in the field. We've made some mistakes in marketing the game and presenting it, but have definitely learnt a lot, and are working constantly to improve our pitch. Marketing the game in three languages (soon four!) was a very good idea, as it is helping in gaining a larger audience in countries where English isn't very strong (Japan & France). Nuns with Guns posted:also how many people are on your ignore list right now? Sadly, a lot.

Baron Corbyn posted:What are you going to do when you don't get funded? You haven't had any donations for about a week now and you're at $800/$25000. Unless you somehow start racking up $10k a day you're dead in the water. Do you have any alternative means of finding this? Don't you think the lack of interest in funding this is going to be reflected by a lack of sales? Do you think it might be best to cut your losses and just make Real Snowglobe 2? That's very funny. I don't think there is lack of interest in the game, but rather a lack of sufficient outreach. I truly believe that the concept of the game is very cool, and since we will do our very best to make the game lots of fun to play, we have confidence that it will be successful.

Greaseman posted:You're very dismissive of the local 'posting culture', and it paints a bad picture. Even if someone is using 'foul language', they often do have a point in there worth responding to. You're asking people to give your game the benefit of the doubt when they have scant information, but you don't seem to do that for their posts. Yes, you are right, if someone uses foul language but has a good point worth responding to, I definitely will. But if someone tells me that my game is poo poo, and I am poo poo, and poo poo this gently caress that, why the hell should I even respect his comment with a reply?

GunnerJ posted:The only thing here that approaches a reasonable answer is that "It sounds cool in Japanese" which, given how much you hype this up as a trilingual game, seems kinda dumb. There are plenty of reasons we decided to go with that period of time, and go with that setting. And our writer is working hard on creating an engaging story for the game that will have a deep connection to that era. He might (probably will) include some historical events and connect them to the main story. Even though the game has a working playable engine and complete characters designs, it is still in its late concept to early development phase. which means ANYTHING (including the name of the game) can change at any time, because we have the freedom to do so. A JRPG fan who's also a French Revolution nerd is exactly who we want to hear from, and you never know, this game might be exactly your cup of tea! So please stay in touch, and more than anything, please be patient. This game is in its infancy and will take a long time to develop, so your continued communication with us is genuinely appreciated.

DropsySufferer posted:For person 1 There's a difference between replying and having an actual dialogue. You only want to hear your opinion. When given to suggestions contrary to that you avoid and defect. Life isn't an echo chamber of approval and agreement and the only way you are going to find that online is to create your own forum and private small echo chamber. Agreed. Though you'll have to wait a few months for that playable demo. When the game gets funded (one way or another), I will personally buy you that DIY circumciser.

Reiterpallasch posted:Hi, OP! Since you seem to be very interested in only talking to people with some kind of credentials, I am a developer on a project that has more app downloads than everything HyperDevBox has published, combined! I hope this qualifies me to talk to you about your development pipeline! I am not only interested in talking to people with "some kind of credentials". I am interested in talking to people who are genuinely interested in this game and its setting, JRPG lovers in general, and people who converse in a mature manner. 1) Yes, I think that once a person reads through our campaign page and watches the pitch video, he can clearly see how small our company is, so I personally don't think there is need to further explain these "circumstances". 2) Yes, there are many reasons for this. But since these are private matters, I don't see any reason to go in to details. 3) Who said we haven't? 4) As a person with professional experience with mobile gaming projects, both direct and indirect, you should know that is none of anyone's business.

Original_Z posted:I still want to know why you went with IGG instead of Kickstarter considering KS has a much larger reach, most people won't even bother looking at the game if it's under IGG, whether or not it's fair is irrelevant, it's just fact. Videogame projects have historically been much less successful on IGG, especially with the budget you're shooting for. Also, why $30 for the game? That's much more expensive than the typical buy-in for this type of game on a crowdfunding site. It's not in an "impulse" territory that many of these projects thrive on. We know very well how better Kickstarter is for games than IGG. But as I've mentioned before, Kickstarter, unfortunately doesn't currently accept accounts from Japan. There is an Early-Bird perk for $30 that includes the game with fast track access, the OST, a digital artbook, wallpapers and website credits. That is a pretty good deal if you ask me.

Saint Isaias Boner posted:OP you didn't answer my questions in the last thread so I'll repeat them here: 1) Who said we weren't spending money on advertising? And as mentioned a few times already, KS doesn't accept Japanese accounts, so we went with Indiegogo. 2) Ignoring your sting at the end there, flexible funding is not for big budget games like Thermidor. our goal is the amount needed in order for us to be able to complete the game, and there is no point on settling for anything less than that. Crazy Achmed posted:Just saying, I appreciate your answers to all my questions in the previous thread about the gameplay, and you should really do a writeup on the battle system and a video or series of pictures showing how it works. I can't say I speak for everyone here but I for one am unlikely to even consider pre-ordering a game without first seeing a working prototype. As a potential video game-buying customer, I agree with jizzy sillage's analysis of your reply to reiterpallasch's questions. They way you have answered them is extremely defensive, gives little information, and makes me suspicious of your ability as a development company to actually produce and release a complete, enjoyable product. I agree. But for the moment, any updates in the development of the game (gameplay, battle system, etc') will have to be announced as updates to the campaign page. Thermidor and its campaign is a work in progress, and we are sharing every single step in the development and completion of the game. Crazy Achmed posted:There is a 90s tactical combat game called Shadow Watch that has a vaguely similar interrupt/conterattack system to yours: you can assign unused action points to shooting at enemies that enter your line of sight, during their turn. If the enemy takes a path towards you that avoids your line of sight, they can attack safely without interruption. While it was overall a fun game, it did skew the game balance vastly in favour of the defender because it was easy to ensure a stealthy approach was impossible. That's a very valid point you make. I hate it when in certain games you have to rely on a specific aspect of the game in order to finish it, and can't play more freely and actually THINK of original ways to complete a stage. Some TD games have this problem, where if you don't place towers on a specific place on the map, or if you don't use your budget precisely like the developer intended you to use, you can't complete the level. This totally sucks, and leaves no room from strategic planning, but just leaves you trying to figure out what the developer of the game wanted you to do. In Thermidor's case, we are planning on having our "DAS" feature be part of the game in a balanced manner, rather than something you rely on in order to succeed in the game. As much as we want this game to be challenging for the player, at the same time we want it to be fun. There will be many ways in which one can approach an enemy without being detected - having another group member do something to distract, or perhaps throwing an object to a different location on the stage. Also, the whole "getting detected by the enemy" thing will be a matter of probability in Thermidor. Certain paths will have a higher percentage of getting detected, while others less. Saint Isaias Boner posted:they will hit $802 by the end of the campaign at this rate Thank you ? Sole.Sushi posted:On a personal note to Ron/not Ron: I can understand a level of anxiety when people are leveling even legitimate criticism over something you've poured many hours into. But, by putting yourself and your company out there and asking the populace for funding (which includes everyone in this thread), you have also opened yourself up to questions, criticism and complaint. This isn't something you can avoid, but the way you handle it says volumes about you, which in turn reflects upon your company as you are their PR person. That guy was fired. Until we hire any PR guy or gal, I will try and do my best. Wish me luck? Rough Lobster posted:OP please screenshot and post your ignore list! I need some juicy ignore list screenies!

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. Axetrain posted:You know the French revolution wasn't a whimsical adventure and actually was super violent and terrifying right? Totally crazy times! Craptacular! posted:I think that Ace of Spades was Motorhead's best album, but my friend thinks it's Orgasmatron. Which of us is right? Not a big fan of Motorhead, sorry. 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?

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!

The scene in the opening video, where the police come to Leandre's house, has nothing to do with the kidnapping! Leandre always gets in to trouble with the police... And after he manages to escape from them, he meets Armandine for the first time. They go out and enjoy each other's company for most of the day, until she suddenly gets kidnapped by unknown men. And that's when the game begins.

raditts posted:So the police show up... And they fight the police? Then more police show up and imprison whoever doesn't get slaughtered on the spot, how does that lead to the next battle? At the beginning of the game, the police (to be accurate, the king's Swiss guards) show up to investigate the disappearance of Armandine, and ask to search the tavern. But Leandre asks them to wait until his father comes back so they could talk to him instead. Thus, the first "battle", which is also a kind of tutorial stage for the game, would be Leandre trying to buy time until his father comes back. And since this is a Tactical JRPG, it means there will be some sort of battle.

Crazy Achmed posted:Thanks for tellng us more about the battle system. Will the player's success depend heavily upon the stealth elements, or is that more of just a nice bonus? Also, is there much of a reliance on character stats versus their equipment, and if so is there a mechanism to let players 'grind' to level up between major battles? Thank you for your comment! The stealth elements will be an important part of the attack, and will make it easier to approach an enemy, but definitely not something the player will have to rely on in order to succeed in the game. As I've said before, Thermidor will be challenging to a certain extent, but hopefully always fun to play. Crazy Achmed posted:Also, is that a sketch of Armandine threatening her captor with a sword? I wasn't aware that two-handed swords were still in use during the French revolution - and nobody trained in fencing would ever two-hand a one-handed weapon like an infantry sabre/spadroon/etc. They also wouldn't be standing with their body squared towared their opponent... unless she's got her hands on a Japanese katana somehow and is also skilled with that? That's a very good observation! But I'm sorry to disappoint you, as Golden Goat said, it's a stick! She wakes up in a dark room, not knowing how she got there and who took her, but she still decides to fight off the guards and grabs the stick, which is the closest thing to a weapon she could find. Aardark posted:Ron, isn't Kickstarter available in France? Couldn't your CEO have used a French bank account? Getting 240k would be out of the question either way, but you'd be doing better than on Indiegogo. Aren't you starting to question the leadership of your company after seeing how the campaign's turning out? Is it wrong that I'm imagining you as the girl in your avatar? Anyway, don't answer that, I'd rather not know the truth... As for your question, we are looking at all of our options at the moment, and KS might be one of them. We are WELL aware of the benefits of having a campaign for a game on KS rather than IGG. weak wrists big dick posted:will there be collectibles in this game, similar to Fallout: New Vegas? Yes!

Dramatika posted:I like RPGs and whatnot, but you desperately need to take a look at this trailer. First of all, I'd like to say that I highly appreciate your input. Observing such successful campaigns like Pathologic and Darkest Dungeon, amongst others, is definitely something we can learn from, and to be honest a bit reassuring. Let me tell you why. Very similarly to these game developers, HyperDevbox too has a large following and fans that have stuck with us throughout the years, and are always excited to hear about any new games from our studio, which means that potentially we should've had a good start to the campaign. But unfortunately, and as many here and on other forums have pointed out, we did not have enough to showcase, therefore the campaign was a disaster. There are other reasons why this current campaign will not succeed, but there is no need to mention them here. But this whole journey in the past 4 months or so, was a huge learning experience for everyone here at HDX, and we feel very confident about our next steps towards funding Thermidor. And also thanks to people like you, who give us great insights and helpful advice, weather it's something we are already aware of or not, it always helps solidify our knowledge in this crazy world of crowdfunding. Things are changing all the time here, and we are steadily moving towards showcasing the game better, and towards the next steps.

sethsez posted:I played the ExZeus games when they came out. They were neat for the time but don't demonstrate the ability to handle anything resembling the kind of scope that you're trying to fund here. And while Indy 500 is a pretty cool little 90s Sega racing homage, it also doesn't really scream "potential tactical RPG developer" to anyone. No one here is acting like we've proven ourselves already... I don't understand what's wrong with showcasing the fact that we have ported big JRPGs to mobile and developed several games. This is just to show our experience in the gaming market. Isn't that better than having no experience at all? Are you saying that you would only consider backing a game by a company that already has experience in developing games in the same genre? That doesn't make any sense to me. And yes, we realize that our timing wasn't great, and that we should've waited longer until we had more to showcase, but we believe that the concept of the game is attractive and cool, and we know we can make this game. But the only thing we need right now is support from people who would like to see this game come to life. You can say that you would like to see this game released, or that you think the concept is cool/interesting, wish us luck and follow our progress. Or you can also critique our workflow, our game, or give us tips or ideas about our game, growing our community or about crowdfunding. But I don't see the point in saying things like "I'm as close to being in your corner here as anyone's been thus far", as if you're expecting a big thank you from us for being the "only" guy who supports us.

Thursday Next posted:Honestly, I had no idea you guys were responsible for porting some of my well-liked tactical JRPGs like spectral force. Did you guys port the psp / PlayStation versions of these games too, or just the android ones? Thank you! We are hoping to make Thermidor a GREAT Tactical JRPG. So just stay in touch! SA is a good place to be in contact with us and let us know if there is anything you would like to see in the game (: Oh, and we did not port Spectral Force by Idea Factory, we ported Spectral Souls. By the way, the new dialogue screen looks great. And I'll try to get a screenshot today so you can see what we've been working on the past week. Also, we've been working on some concepts for new baddies for the game, and all I can say right now is that they look friggin cool, and are super evil...
