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

Blaine: All of those suggestions except for 2D were posted by inXile, so they'd better consider them before they bother posting them.

 

I read that Herve Caen is being considered as a stretch goal...

 

Infinitron, Brother None

Hmmm... it's hard to be mad about that. I need something else to be mad about.

AHA! Why didn't the inXile staff add such an important stretch goal themselves in the first place?

 

Yeah, I can't wait to see current fat Nathan Fillion get back in his leather pants.

 

But games are a collaborative process. A person may have ownership of an area or character, but perhaps the things you liked about them came about as a result of team feedback or a suggestion from another.

 

True, it's not a perfect system, but it's an improvement.

 

Says the Sawyer fangirl.

 

Maybe they don't want the game to be 2D?

 

So are films but the identity of the director or actors etc are can, if nothing else, help you decide if you want to check it out.

Thinking about that, it would be interesting to be able to rate games and see what names are most prominent in your most (and least) favourites.

 

I've actually been wondering if they're working on making the best 3D work they can in order to avoid the necessity for 2D. I can just imagine the butthurt if they do that though

 

He's one of the most open persons around about his ideas, weaknesses, and which aspects he's done.

 

Yeah, I like that about Sawyer. I also asked him for beginner's tips on Darklands on Formspring and he gave me a 12 paragraph response.

 

Apparently we should have asked for a Sawyer playthrough and commentary of Arcanum instead of MCA.

I'm not sure if I totally expect 2D or not, but if it does come it'll surely be a high-end stretch goal to milk dat jew gold.

 

Not sure if these have been posted yet. I haven't seen them.

 

That's Numenera art, not Torment.

 

I wish they'd post their art in higher resolutions. Those look cool though.

Edit: Found the first two on the Numenera site.

 

Here is the full resolution for those three:

As FTR said, that's Numenera PnP art, not Torment art.

 

Thanks

That mobile fortress/city/arcology looks quite interesting.

 

Am i the only one who's excited that they're bringing the writer of Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines on board?

 

So Fathoms are the endless dungeon equivalent of TToN. Not bad. And bringing Mitsoda on-board is nice, but not "raging hard-on" for me.

 

No.

I won't mind if they don't go for 2D, but I think showing a screenshot of 2D will bring them a lot of $$$. People are graphic whores like that. I actually think it might be better for this game to be 3D. Maybe they can do more interesting stuff with locations that way (because of all the weirdness of locations). 2D will only be from purely esthetic / graphicswhore perspective.
