You're an angel that have to watch over people. You then intervene in events throughout history for better majestic outcomes.

Quantum Leap: The Game.

I'm just disappointed that it's apparently fantasy.

I'm just disappointed that it's apparently fantasy.

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

It will always be fantasy.


Unless you want AP2

I wonder if Tim will move over to working on the combat for this, since IIRC the South Park game is winding down.

Only if the pledge reaches $2 million

And what would happen, if Obsidian decide to gather money from Kickstarter to create a demo and show it to EA in hopes for financing and publishing it by latter? Like the infamous hardcore tactical shooter Takedown.

For a console popamole game, that actually sounds halfway decent. So of course it got canceled.

I'm going to take this as proof that my idea that it is norse inspired is correct, mostly because I refuse to admit that I am wrong but also because the following.

Heimdallr requires less sleep than a bird, can see at night just as well as if it were day, and for over a hundred leagues

Heimdallr is attested as possessing foreknowledge, keen eyesight and hearing, is described as "the whitest of the gods", and keeps watch for the onset of Ragnarök

As for the whole word thing that some one pointed out resembled or was possibly some Celtic language, it could be set in the British isles in the Dark ages with a conflict between the native Celts and invading Saxons and Norsemen.

Heimdall 3!

 

[Smarts]

So it is "Eternity" after all? Also: I must have had a lapse in my attention...wtf is "Eternity"?

The assumption so far has been that it's the name of the game or project.

The thought occurs to me that they might make a game... and then have a toolset included. Infinity Engine, Aurora Engine, Eternity Engine.

Sure the game where you could turn invisible didn't have "magic"

 

[Helly]

Or it could be that:
http://www.magpiegames.com/eternity-rpg/
"In Eternity, players take on the role of powerful, godlike beings known as The Vast. These creatures, lording over entire planets, are constrained only by their Attachments, metaphysical ties that grow stronger each time The Vast use their amazing powers. As a Vast’s Attachment to a specific concept or idea increases, she must act carefully to respect the rules of the Attachment, her hands tied by the power she wields.

 

[IDtenT]

Why would they create two in-house engines?

I want to romance Al.

I wonder if there is rule34 of Al and Sam?

Yes, I get that. What I couldn't remember is if we knew what it was.

Brother None Will Gamebanshee bring an article about the game at the time of the announcement? Should I also refresh your page every 10 seconds?

 

[Brother None]

Nah. Please don't break GameBanshee.

 

[J_C]

I don't believe you! EVERYONE! TO THE BANSHEE!!!!!

 

[evdk]

I do not like being hyped. The inevitable disappointment hurts me deep in my very being.

OMG MCA looks so excited while reading the teleprompter! Where's my wallet??
