Game News Torment Kickstarter Update #3: ZIETS ZIETS ZIETS

[hiver]

I finally managed to throw a hundred bucks at them too. Went for 75 $ tier. That leaves 25 for hookers and blow. Numenera seeker sounds just about right for me.

Where are we at?

...


$2,155,058


alriiight...

 

[DeepOcean]

2.200,000 (today) + 100.000 x 25 days + 1.500,000 on the last 3 days = 6.200.000,00

Possible or wishful thinking?

 

[Hobz]

More like 50-60x25 if the other kickasters are any indication. The 1,500,000spike is a maybe a bit enthusiast but possible.

 

[Gondolin]

I wonder: what can they do with 6.2 million?

 

[Shadenuat]

what can they do with 6.2 million?

Babes.

Spoiler

Lots of babes.

as in, “TRUCKLOADS OF.”
Tons of Total Babes: This game will have lots of babes that make the player go “wow.” There will be fiendish babes, human babes, angelic babes, asian babes, and even undead babes. These babes will be present without nipple-age and will all regrettably behave within the TSR Code of Ethics.

 

[Gondolin]

Ugh, the ugly 3D portraits of PS:T. Probably the only thing I disliked about that game.

 

[Shadenuat]

Actually, they're pretty cool. You should remove that helmet of yours from time to time.

Even that is very optimistic. 30-40 is much more likely

Very wishful. PE did like 40-50K a day in the quiet period with an ending spike of one million (more than this coz ending spike actually lasts a week and we're not quite in the dropoff period yet). Matching that would put us at like 4.3 mil? But I think we'll do less than that.

It doesn't come off. I've tried.

There's a mod to replace most of the 3D portraits in the character sheets with hand done art. You can see it here.

That shit sucks.

Fuck off, cunt. Aim for the stars.

 

[Hobz]

Well we all thought Torment was not going to perform as well as PE but we where greatly wrong for the first day. Then we though the early hype would fade quicker, but the second and third day were better than PE or W2 (Third day will do 210-230k). So for now i'm getting cautiously enthusiast on the fact that T:ToN might outperform the others even in the quiet phase.

Thanks, dude! I didn't know about this one. Man, Fall-from-Grace won't look like she has a crab on her head anymore.

Seems like 3.7 - 4.3 mil including paypal may be a good guess. 4 million may be an upper bound for niche games like this. Over time this predictability should make it easier for both inXile and Obsidian to do long term planning. Of course once this current crop of games is actually released all bets are off.

 

[Arkeus]

Pretty much. If those games are successful it could greatly increase the amount of money Kickstarter projects could get. OTOH, if they suck...Well, this would probably not be good.

You'll beat them if you follow their example and release a pretty 2D background. If you get my drift.

In the meantime, give us the fucking wallpapers.

08.03 the third day that just passed a few hours ago, brought in 252.082 dollars.

-edit- this is pretty fucking good.

 

[Jaesun]

Perhaps on the weekend it will gain some momentum.

 

[Brother None]

Coming right up.

Weekends tend to be more quiet (from our KS research). We can slow down fine just now, if we slow down to a 40-50K range we'll be doing absolutely amazing, in my opinion.

 

[Kosmonaut]

2.2 millions in almost three days is pretty awesome.

 

[Murk]

So, Colin's gonna LP P:Torment...

... I really hope this doesn't end in disaster, again.

He should just do a BLOG and post his thoughts. And do this way later after he has some actual time. MCA just really does not have time for this.

 

[winterraptor]

He's secretly cursing the Codex every time he has to sit down and do it.

 

[commie]

Speaking of Kickstarters with no game really to show for them even though it's been a year since DFA and W2 started it all, whatever happened to Dead State?

But I think we'll do less than that.

Instead of predictions better go make Brian's coffee....
