Paprium: The Official Thread Mk 2

[aha2940]

At this point, and after having read the last 15 pages of this thread, I have no doubt that this game will never see the light of day, and we all have been scammed. It seems WM does not exist anymore, Fonzie is/was its last employee (because everybody else has resigned and do not want to work with him ever again) and he seems to have run away with thousands of dollars. I bet he is laughing his ass off while drinks a Margarita in a tropical island, reading our comments. I also asked for a refund, but I do not think anybody monitors the ticketing system anymore, or any of WM communication channels for that matter. Sigh. I really wanted to play this game, unfortunately it will not happen

Wow! I just rembered this convo I had with Tori Dang, how many people did WM not pay ?

I'm sure quite a few graphic artists, Tim who worked on Paprium among them, were paid. Also the Project N programmer was paid, and he quit when the payments stopped. Which probably explains the lack of news on that project, it's not like a SNES programmer can be replaced with anyone.

Didn't know that :/

Hello guys, I'm WM's most annoying fanboy ever.

To be honest, I did not care that much about rumours, whether it was regarding Fonzie's behaviour and lack of news.
If no one was forced to work under Fonzie, I find it nevertheless unacceptable that Luis did not get paid for his work, if proven to be true.
Even myself I got free stuff that I did not ask for, while providing very little help to WM!

I therefore contacted Fonzie today asking him for a public statement on salaries and actual status of Paprium production. I requested a reply within 7 days.

Meanwhile, I propose you to DM me with documented and detailed facts (e.g missing salary, refund denied). I may build a case.

Maybe we could update the front of this thread to track things too. I'd like to generate a historical outline of what's actually gone on with this project.

For information.

I got an answer from CAMILLE.

She still "working" for WM.

She has not news from Fonzie like all of us.

[cleeg]

That's a good idea about front page updates, I second it.

Hi all,

Listen the last News from Gwenael I have, is in November 2017, we finalize some Business question about Papi Commando WM and I have some news after, but then nothing.
By the way, I try to get some news by Camille Rougelot, who desperate by the lack of news ... Gwenael just contact me.
For my situation, our common contract, it's ok all is done, I hope the rest of Papi Commando Cartridge will be delivered very soon.

That situation is really bad, Watermelon is a great publisher and I have the luck to work with them.
Paprium is the "Graal" of Gwenael, he tells me his motivation for this project, the project of his Life.
He's a monster of work and a serious professionnal man as I can see with our common work.

But what I read here, the lack of news ( it's not the first time ... ), I really hope the situation will be cleared soon, and this story a bad memory ...
Like both of us, I buy an Edition of Paprium, my Nomad is fed up by my Games ! Ahah !!
I try to take my evil in love and be optimist for the future.

PS : And sorry for my Cheese English !! ^^

Thank you Vetea for sharing your opinion with us.

[matteus]

Vetea cheesy English aside nice to hear from you!

Stupid question: when is the last time any of you had contact with Fonzie?

[Zebbe]

A few months back when he paid me back the investment I made for the project me and Arm were working on. It was only 3 years late.

Hey people, Just thought I'd show my face.
I'm still around though not quite as active as I have been in past years due to work commitments.
Tulio, Luis, Matt and everyone else who I've chatted to or worked with I hope you are all doing well.
