George Ziets' Torment: Tides of Numenera Gullet stretch goal just got funded, three days ahead of its deadline. With uncharacteristic swiftness, inXile have published a short Kickstarter update to celebrate the occasion:

Thanks to hundreds of you and hundreds of new backers, we’ve reached our target for the Gullet! We’ve changed it from [C] to [A] priority and will be including it in the final game. The top contributors over the last week were our Anonymous donor ($999), Najiok ($827), Grond ($820), and Kaleb ($370). Thank you all for your support and for helping to get the word out about Torment.

While we aren’t announcing a new Stretch Goal at this time, Torment’s crowdfunding efforts do continue, with every pledge being invested in our development budget and allowing us to put more resources on the game. (We’re not making the game bigger at this point and new funds serve primarily to increase the level of polish we’ll be able to achieve.) We appreciate your continued efforts to spread the word about the RPG rennaissance that’s underway, and our small part in it.​

Woot!

Awesome. Inxile is pretty flexible with adjusting rewards if you contact them. I originally pledged $80 for the Loremaster (with WL2) package. Earlier today I interacted with support to up my pledge to the Limited Collector's Edition @ $145. Even though I already claimed the WL2 keys, I was able to simply pay the appropriate price to update my package. Thanks for the help Sea.

Now that content is fixed, pledges bringing polish is a great thing. I would LOVE to see the option to direct pledge dollars on KS or other projects to polish rather than stretch goals. Quality above quantity.

Wonder if they try to hit the big round 5 target in the future. A Ziets-MCA (bro)romance should do it.

Holy schmoly and the seven sisters of sin!
Are those the end times? The arrival of the incline can't get close
to the feeling of witnessing the incline really happening, after those
felt eons of darkness. Brothers and Sisters, I'm almost able to feel again!

[October 18 2014] Unfortunately, we fell somewhat short of our goal (about 15%, or $35,000) to see the Gullet added to the final game ... So, we're moving the stretch goal deadline for the Gullet to the end of Friday, October 31. Just over $30,000 to go!

Gullet stretch goal just got funded, three days ahead of its deadline.

So it was funded 3 days ahead of 18 days behind schedule. I call that an even 15 days behind.

Gentlemen, do we agree?

Great news! Thanks to everyone who contributed! :D

Glad to hear it. This looks like it will be an interesting addition to the game.

I think with Wasteland 2 it was really clear how much the game improved over time as a result of its increased budget - an expanded inventory system, more voice over, more quests and content, more prospects of post-release content and updates, and so on.

You mean a kickstarter or EA and late backers?

That's a misquote. I'm not sure what you are asking.
