Frog was a deragatory word for french people right? Could you have one of the swiss guards say "Get out, frog!" in the game?

Also Halloween is on the 31st, i believe

It would also be cool if Frog made a cameo appearance, see if you can get with Square-Enix on that one

How do you make a game about the French Revolution and not have it be about the cool part with Robespierre.

how about we just straight up tell the op that this kinda poo poo is frowned upon, specially if its to shill a loving game and talking about spreading the word on social networks (like seriously dude, could you be even more transparent about promoting your game?), and then move on with our dumb lives, one day closer to the grave

On second thought the whole idea is wrong this is better: the protagonist needs to be a young a guillotine. Jealous and awed by the skill and efficiency of the older guillotines our hero sets off on a magical journey of self discovery. Make it cute and Disney Like and you'll sell a million copies.

I gotta say, hyperdevbox, there's a distinct lack of waifus in your game. There needs to be at least one tsundere girl, maybe 2, a girl who acts like Rei from Neon Genesis Evangelion, and a cat girl. You don't have any of these! If I made this kind of mistake at my job, my boss would have my nuts for this failure! Get it together, man.

like, there is no 2000 year old witch with the body of a 12 year old? sorry Mr ward, but you've just slipped and outed yourself. At the very least, this game is NOT a JRPG, confirmed.

I mean it's a little confusing for me as a casual thread reader and contributor that the OP isn't getting, despite genuine efforts even if they are laced with sarcasm, is that we are legit giving him and his company ways they can sell a lot more copies. I mean there has to be a guillotine to purchasing customer ratio which will be far higher than the no-guillotine to purchasing customer ratio.

At least the main character is androgynous like we knew all young Frenchmen to be during that era. Because what I demand in my JRPGs is historical accuracy. I also noticed how the OP dodged my question about if there will be rectangular paper bags like we have in modern times to just get frustrated about guillotines again. Sheesh. These are important issues and we need to figure this out or else this game just won't get the legs it needs and regardless of our personal feelings I don't think any of us wants this game to fail.

Also, does Thermimi talk in a human voice and become a party member? If this is not the case, it's unforgivable and you will forever be a basic baka* bitch.

This is amazing work. As a student of history I can say that I've played hundreds of games like this, and have shown little to no emotion. the games were just windows to a past I've never lived in people who I never knew or would ever know. But this game made me stop and evaluate. Putting kawaii bishies in made me actually look at what was is really happening. Putting something that everyone is familiar with in a situation that no one knows, and to make people feel these emotions well, that takes amazing talent. Thank you.

I wrote a little generator that creates an anime guillotine from your username, and splits it into little 'genes' that can be 'bred' to create a baby guillotine with traits from both parents.

It turned out to be way less funny than I thought it'd be on the way to work this morning, but at least I got to have fun with Python. :shrug:

With the passion these screenshots are inspiring I look forward to the kickstarter/crowdfunding for this game even though my family lost its title during the French Revolution. :(

Napoleon was still a young soldier at the time the story takes place. Also it wouldn't be fair on the enemy, as he was probably the greatest military commander in history, and having him in your party means certain death to all who disobey him.

Regarding the dog, maybe to distract the enemy with his heart melting cuteness?

First of all, I apologize for not replying about the guillotines and the paper bags. But as I mentioned before, THERE WILL BE NO GUILLOTINES.
We don't want any beheading of any sort in the game, even if it means less sales.
Yes, we DO want this game to succeed and see the light of day, but we are making this game the way we feel it should be, and not necessarily what "the public" wants.
Though, that being said, part of the fun in crowdfunding a game, is that everyone is involved in the development process, and can suggest ideas or give comments and feedback, and that is a GREAT thing!

But please excuse us for ignoring all the silly suggestions, like romancing pets, having nanomachines, paper bags or no paper bags, or arm-mounted guillotine-launching guns. You definitely made me chuckle though...
