Game News Torment Kickstarter Update #19: Pre-pre-production, Shanna Germain on Numenera, and other stuff

[FeelTheRads]

$10 says you didn't even know what Betty and Veronica was before reading that, but now it's automatically gross.

 

[Irenaeus]

I'm not making that up.

According to Avellone, the game's concepts were inspired by numerous sources:
...
"Annah and Fall-From-Grace were inspired by Betty and Veronica from Archie comics, embarrassingly enough.

I get they were inspired by them, but this isn't in any way gross.

 

[Cosmic Misogynerd]

There is no "maybe even." "Meaningful friendships, even feelings of affection, will be possible," period followed by a promise of "no touching." I expect them to get as much attention as Torment's only without the gross Betty and Veronica nonsense.

 

[Cosmo]

Not to , but all of that means of course that there won't be any romance in the "traditional", that is to say biowarean sense : no hijacking of the story, no forced and artificial pseudo-storyline destined to make retards feel good about themselves, etc etc.

 

[Korron]

Pretty sure Monte is all up in that.

Question is who is mounting whom?

P.S. Yeah, yeah fuck you old fags.

Joined today to post Germain with a dildo.

The mole on her face keeps moving. This bothers me more than it should.

 

[Tommy Wiseau]

That's a pretty big toy.

And a writer that writes erotica and gets hired for a story-driven game definitely won't be working on any romance scenes. Yeah, right.

 

[BobtheTree]

But isn't she just an editor? And besides, I trust the MCA to bitch-slap anyone who tries to put romance in this game.

They didn't really "hire" her I think. She's the editor of the Numenera setting and Monte just brought her along.

 

[dunno lah]

Is she the editor because Monte hired her or because Monte's doing her?

 

[Taluntain]

Hoo, boy... this is going to get interesting sometime soon, I bet. Let the Codex digging machine excavations commence...

 

[Sordid MCA/Prosper Hybryd]

Is she the editor because Monte hired her or because Monte's doing her?

maybe 'cause she's doing Monte... with that thing.

 

[Gozma]

No relationships of the simulated flesh

 

[Brayko]

I would do anything to put it into that Shanna chick. But seriously, best of luck to them.

Yes, that’s correct. I’m the lead editor of the Numenera product line and I will be writing for the Torment game as well. Ray’s also working with us on Numenera, so it’s a team that I’m incredibly excited about.

She must've confused it with, you know, the other Codex.

You mean she wanted to post on Felicia Day?
