    People News Torment Kickstarter Update #49: Kevin Saunders leaves inXile, replaced by Chris Keenan

    I *did* choose those words deliberately, but that's also game development. Ask anyone ;).

    People News Torment Kickstarter Update #49: Kevin Saunders leaves inXile, replaced by Chris Keenan

    The full story is not mine to give, but the game is still in good hands with a team that groks the vision, design leads who will not let that vision die, and leadership that knows what we release must be as polished as we can reasonably make it in the given time. Kevin is missed. His departure...

    "Classic RPGs Forever" panel at PAX Prime 2015

    It was funny in context. Hard to tell without the video and the audience he was playing off of. I laughed anyway.:M

    "Classic RPGs Forever" panel at PAX Prime 2015

    Swen brought his own camera crew (although "crew" is probably a strong word ;)). I don't know if he recorded the whole panel though.

    Game News Torment: Tides of Numenera Alpha Systems Test Launched

    The primary reason we included the insta-death option this early is (as someone already stated in this thread) to teach the player that not every choice is safe. There is a good reason why you survive the regular fall but don't survive diving faster (short version: you are mostly immortal...

    You guys are like the kings of baseless assumptions ;-) That's Unity Pro. Light-text-on-dark burns my retinas. I hatesssss it.

    That's a good point, Knut. The video definitely focuses on the weirder environments at our disposal, but rest assured there will be some "normal" environments as well. In the video, there is the final scene, and also the area outside the bubble of water, just as small examples.

    Game News Torment Kickstarter Update #39: Adam Heine Explains Effort

    The most Effort you can apply is six, so pretty close. Re: skeuomorphic UI. We're trying for a block UI option on all our UIs (the simplest version being all of our UI elements slotted into a pretty frame). The conversation UI is already a block UI (with no option for a non-block version...

    Game News Torment Kickstarter Update #39: Adam Heine Explains Effort

    I'm kind of in love with Banner Saga, yes. It was that game, in particular, that made me think requiring a "confirm" for an attack could work without being annoying (in turn-based, at least -- I'd never have tried something like this in a twitch combat system, autopause or not). With Banner...

    Game News Torment Kickstarter Update #39: Adam Heine Explains Effort

    The render doesn't include visual effects or in-game lighting. And yes, so long as the game is still in-progress, anything can and will be tweaked.

    Sure, why not? (DISCLAIMER: This is no guarantee the feature will make it into the game, but it should guarantee someone more knowledgeable than me evaluates it for feasibility.)

    Oh, I'm on this project to the end. The tweet refers primarily to my daily work. (I also like to play games, raise ten kids, and even sleep on occasion :D).

    No worries. I'd never heard of you either ;-) Kidding. Seriously, we all knew when I was brought on that I was only tangentially related to the original Torment. My credentials are primarily in impressing people like Colin, Chris, and Kevin in short periods of time :-)
