Torment Torment: Tides of Numenera Beta Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

Also, why there is no mention of a Codex like in Original PS:T? That was such a great feature in the game, every NPC had detailed info about them. Even Pillars of Eternity has that even with no "million word count".
No day/night cycle is another thing I don't get. I do hope that we will get a world map with the option to travel anywhere.

 

I'm fairly certain both the oasis and the Toy are still in.

 

No, there is not a lot of people that are more fanatical than some of the Codex posters. Since I am pretty sure these Codex clowns don't actually go to streets to punch and shoot people they don't like, they are at least less fanatical than those people on both sides of the left-right spectrum.
Our Codex clowns are in my observation more bark than bite, but they bark very loudly.

 

They did show the Sunken Market with that exact art on 2 January 2017 on Facebook.

 

Apparently they started to work on the Sunken Market quite a while ago. This is from February 2015:

It would've been a waste to cut that scene, so it makes sense that it's still in. Still, it may have been adapted to fit another location, or maybe it's what's left of the Oasis area.

The city itself has no concept art, render or video footage since the first piece. I don't think it's because of spoilers or whatever, because the other stretch goal areas are shown in the World of Numenera video: the Forge of the Night Sky and the Ascension of Kex-Lianish.

 

I looked into the beta's files, and there are some lines which mention the Oasis, but mostly exposition. I did find something interesting, though: there are at least 2 meres in the Oasis.
If anybody wants to take a look:

I feel like this is as far as your visit to the Oasis goes.

 

I haven't seen these assets in any other screenshots, and even though this screenshot could've been overpainted, I doubt they'd model unique meshes and then scrap them; I guess that with the crowdfunded games you have to be absolutely sure you need a certain environment back in the pre-production stage. I hope it's still in.

 

How fucked up will be if after all these years, they will release an unfinished game with mandatory DLC? I have to say, Obsidian did a lot better with their kickstarter campaign then Inxile.

 

I asked them about the city hub on twitter, no response. They didnt respond to questions about the toy companion as well... these fuckers talk a big game about connecting to their community and making a game for the fans, instead they act like the worse corporate scumbags out of activision or EA.

 

Finally decided to spend some time on this. Let's just say an earlier try did not come off that well. The game ran like shit and looked like crap to booth. That was somewhere last year though, so let's see how this looks near release. And hey, it is fun. It is Torment alright. Instead of an immortal interacting with various incarnations of himself you now play as a dropped part of an immortal being. Like the small twist. The setting is interesting, the writing decent and the game now actually seems to run fluid. There are some mechanics I haven't seen used in a crpg, the crisis parts are actually quite interesting, dig the little CYOA type interactions and there seems to be heaps of ways of getting through the available content. So yeah, optimistic.

 

Shows once again how retarded Codexers are with their hate against Sawyer.

I say bring the man on board now to save this mess of a game.

 

Yeah, I bet that making character building bland and trying to "fix" traditional cRPGs has nothing to do with it.

 

Fixed.

No "reached oasis" acheesement. Pretty safe to say it's out then.

 

Yuge spoilers in these 'chieves, click at your own risk.

Noticed nothing about an oasis or a toy even though you get achievements for entering other locations and other companion arcs.

Edit:

Lies, there are only six.

 

The Oasis is obviously in, retards. It's just going to be a lot smaller than Safus Riff or whatever the city is called.

 

Huh.

If inePtile do renege on their stretch goal promises, I reckon there might be a bit of a kerfuffle.

 

Maybe there are secret achievements related to secret locations and secret NPCs?

Some achievements aren't displayed until you get them, you know that, right?

 

So maybe it's not major. Or maybe you could just miss it through gating and choices.
