Torment Torment: Tides of Numenera Pre-Release Thread [ALPHA RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Jasede]

Because they spent it on hookers and coke. How else do you think PS:T was made?

 

[Infinitron]

Sorry for being out of the loop here, but I was under the impression that they had made way more than their funding goal on Kickstarter, so why are they asking for more pledges?

They've spent all the money on barbers.

I already sank more money in this KS then is sane, so no extra monies from me. I hope they make it though. On watch i read a comment by a self proclaimed Numenera GM who said the xp system is almost identical to the pnp ruleset.

That seems pretty cool. Let's just hope it doesn't turn into a Neanderthal project that keeps getting polished and expanded, but never released.

The Codex kindda hated the ruleset though so that's not necessarily a good thing.

I actually think it has a shot at making it now. The percentages are going up much faster today. Every time I have visited the site (3 times today), the amount was higher. Compare to other days when I would barely see any difference.

surface-reflection said: Have you ever considered using unusual parts of the bloom as part of the gameplay maps? I dont mean the guts or other lower parts. Those are actually expected trope elements. How about he surface of the Bloom. Its.. roof? How about those strands spreading away from it, that serve as bridges to it? BTW, as a general plan... we will have access only to specific smaller parts of it, locations or "rooms" of Bloom? Or just all of it as a single huge map that we can traverse as we like? (i doubt it).

For narrative reasons, the Bloom zone takes place entirely in the creature’s interior, but you may get to see some Bloom exterior in the Sagus Cliffs zone. I can’t say for sure because Sagus Cliffs hasn’t been completely designed yet, and I don’t know which scenes will make the cut… but I agree that it could be fun to depict, so we’ll see what happens.

We’re laying out our playable space in “scenes” – discrete locations or levels where gameplay takes place. It’s essentially the same as in the Infinity Engine games. In PST, examples of scenes would be Ragpicker’s Square, the NE Hive, the Dead Nations, the second floor of the Mortuary, etc. The Bloom zone is divided into a number of scenes, which are meant to portray those sections of the Bloom that the player can access. In theory, there are other parts of the Bloom that the player will not see in this game.

Last day for the Gullet stretch goal. They are obviously far from the goal they wanted to reach, but I wonder if they are still going to implement it or not. It's easy for them to say that they can't because they didn't reach 4.75 million, but at the same time, one would assume that they might be able to implement it either way, considering the amount of money they have gotten.

Time for all the lazy bros to start pledging just to be on the safe side.

 

[Bubbles]

I'm still holding out hope that a big backer will swoop in and save the strech goal, even if it's on the condition that the gullet be named after him.

 

[MicoSelva]

17 hours to go and still over 41K - no way this is making it.
I wish I could pledge more, but I have maybe $10 of disposable cash at the moment. Should not have bought so many board games.

 

[Darkzone]

Hey even Colin M. has contributed $750.- for the goal. So yes they seem to be interested in reaching this goal.
Hey now even Kevin has also contributed $750.- to the goal.
I believe that Fargo is making some pressure on the people there in inXile: Contribute or you are out of a job B......!!!

 

[FeelTheRads]

Hey, Fargo still has that 100K he was supposed to put into W2 if it made only the initial funding goal, right?

Heh, I think those are the same 100k he put into Torment a year later.

Will upgrading from a mere pleb digital edition to a physical one be impossible after the end of the month?

[Zorba the Hutt]

Using your post-tax earnings to pledge cash back to your employer is.... interesting.

(Yes, I know it's part of a marketing push and forgoing a certain amount of salary wouldn't have the same ring to it, financially it's a bit retarded though)

 

[CMcC]

To be clear, Kevin and I did this on our own initiative because we've seen the design documentation and we'd like to see the Gullet made. There's no pressure from above.

EDIT: (this is what I was buying with my pledge: https://torment.inxile-entertainment.com/pledge/codex/rewards?id=37)

 

[Darth Roxor]

which reminds me i should probably pledge

My statement was only meant as a joke. But thank you for clarifying it for those people who doesn't understand such a humor. I have made it because the two pledges were only a few seconds apart.
Also to state that i intended to get a Fargo Funboy tag, after i heard that Fargo did invested on his own 700k for W2, so to say is that i never believed in a pressure from above.

Good question.

 

[Volrath]

Finally pledged.

 

[Sensuki]

I reckon they'll finish 30-40K short.

Looking on target so far.

It's a shame we'll all probably be dead from ebola by the time this game is released.

A tormenting death.
