Obsidian General Discussion Thread

Yeah, Onyx was great. Who knows, maybe they're using it in Vermont.

 

[StrongBelwas]

Feargus said they were scrapping it back in 2013, so unfortunately that is pretty unlikely. http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/inde...and-the-future-of-obsidian-at-kri-2013.83284/

If it was hard enough for them to keep it updated back than, would it be feasible to bring it back after two years mothballed?

Awesome

 

[Rahdulan]

I'd make her go schnell play a tabletop game with me.

 

[DalekFlay]

Surprised Obsidian have the money for laser-lights and a photo backing.

 

[Xeon]

MCA's salary maybe.

 

[Infinitron]

Obsidian HQ is known to be quite posh.

 

[Crooked Bee]

They tend to spend ca. 1 million a month. Surely they can afford some laser-lights.

It seems like you're thinking of some garage indie company, which Obsidian hasn't been in a long time (if ever).

 

[Xeon]

After hearing them say they laid their employees after FNV and almost going bankrupt if not for Kickstarter, I kinda thought they can't afford extravaganza even if it was a few years ago. Isn't 1 million counting the salaries for everyone as well, they have almost 100 or something employees and IIRC Tim Schafer said the Double Fine devs get 20K+ a month.

I always thought when people say the name of the company and then add HQ then it means they have branches or something. Like Google HQ for example is the main place and other places are branches or something like that.

 

[Infinitron]

Almost bankrupt or not, moving to an entirely new place might have still been more expensive than staying put.

Anthony Davis Does Obsidian own the location or is it renting?

 

[Irenaeus II]

They spent too much in the party, now they suck

Codexian logic

 

[Roguey]

Now we know where Pillars of Eternity's profits went.

Likely not present at the party: Josh "I don't like parties" Sawyer.

 

[Irenaeus II]

I heard they got Brenda Garno Brathwaite Romero to develop an oldskool RPG do a strip tease give a anti-GamerGate woman developer empowerment speech at the party for $1 million $300 $2k!!

And when everybody was piss drunk John made everybody their bitch!!!









Suck it down!

Or maybe I was just being an ass because of their 1 million a month budget and cries of hard times.

That was a club that was rented on a Wednesday night.

The picture of Katrina as Femloki (a real thing apparently), was taken outside our office. We had a halloween party in the patio area after work. It was super fun but low key, and actually what I prefer.

Low key, beer, music not too loud, and a place to sit.

Here's how they're recovering the loss:

Just finished watching that, pretty interesting, especially for just 1$. Good insight into the limitations they'd had to cope with.

 

[Fairfax]

FNV outsold FO3 by 200k this year.

 

[Kazuki]

Unfortunately, all that profits goes to Bethesduh

 

[Irenaeus II]

What a terrible list of games, aok aside

 

[Excidium II]

FNV outsold FO3 by 200k this year.

Probably because of all the FO3 fans buying it just to play FO3 TTW

 

[Fry]

Jesus, Skyrim selling 1.5 mil 4 years after release. All $10 sale copies I hope.

 

[Fairfax]

PoE at #16 among 2015 releases:

 

[Irenaeus II]

Numbers for PoE seems the same as two or three months ago. They have already celebrated selling the 600,000th copy irc.
