Game News Torment Kickstarter Update #5: Monte Cook Explains It All

[Kosmonaut]

I'm going to have to agree with Dan in a later post. Romance is NOT about sex, it's about the connection and love between the two people. I hate to say it but if there is no romance in this I think I'm going to have to pass. I hope to hear more about these feelings before the end of the kickstarter. I mean I don't want to read a flippin' porn, that's not what I'm asking, I want ROMANCE.

I think a "romance" theme can work if they can fit it into their Abandonment pillar of the game.

That would troll the usual suspects rather horribly, I approve.

hiver Are you capable of reacting without resorting to verbal diarrhea?

 

[Kosmonaut]

Im not feeling important because of it, you despicable stupid shit.
Im smug because i was arguing against pokemon club of companions you imbecile.
Dumbfuck.

mental hemorrhoid.

Idiotic, predictable and boring as usual. Carry on.

Not in the case of stupid shits like that. He is a worthless turd in every sense of the word and that is how i will address him. To do otherwise would be disingenuous of me and complimenting the shit as he was human.
He is a stupid simpleton that feeds his ego by trying to hurt someones feelings - a turd slurper. His intelligence is on the level of a hemorrhoid.

Im merely calling things what they are.


Also, by Adam comments it seems that even a partial VOs like Planescape or Fallout had are not decided upon - yet. And will depend on amount of money raised.

I am more ineterested in what humiliating thing will Colin perform to atone for the Complete Book of Twinks.

Him playing PST is more interesting for me, considering he worked on it. I'm curious to hear his comments on the game.

 

[evdk]

"Fuck, who wrote this shit?!" "That's your part of the script, Colin..." "Jesus, what was I thinking?"

Meaningful friendships, even feelings of affection, will be possible, but relationships of the flesh would be inconsistent with our narrative.

Increased my pledge

There is to be a playthrough of PST by several devs that worked on it. That is going to be glorious, too.

The BSN has taken its toll on us all.

The Developer Retrospective? That will probably take the shape up of developer diaries/blogs, so writeups, not a playthrough.

 

[Kosmonaut]

stupid shits... worthless turd... stupid simpleton... turd slurper...

Just as expected. The Pavlov Dog never disappoints.

 

[TwinkieGorilla]

you despicable stupid shit.
you imbecile.
Dumbfuck.
mental hemorrhoid.

LOL.

Are there going to be more stretch goals between the 2.5 and the 3 million mark? Because that's a huge amount. Also, I have the feeling that the painted backgrounds goal is either the last one, or isn't going to be added. Stretch goals? Moar liek stench goals.

Well, reading his post is truly a torment.

If they planned all along not to do 2D backgrounds, it definitely makes sense not to tell people. No advantage to being honest in that case, they'd just lose people who specifically want 2D.

 

[Kosmonaut]

I dunno. I honestly don't believe that developers and publishers lie and manipulate information. That's impossible.

 

[Jasede]

It's funny, every time so KS thing gets more money faster than all the others someone here will say "wow slow funding day today"; it's inevitable.
I even did with PE, not realizing how much it was actually getting compared to some others.

 

[Kosmonaut]

They almost get 100K a day, at this pace they are going to reach or even surpass the 5 million bucks.

Hmm... i thought they would do a voiceover of sorts. A commentary for the game.... - whatever. Still good.
I think there was a suggestion for TToN team to record a dev commentary that we could turn on and listen while we play.
It was a pretty cool feature in Riddick: Butchers bay.

But, thats nothing that needs to be addressed now.

 

[Western]

Do those estimates include PayPal?

Kosmonaut's link is fake. I don't know what it is because NoScript doesn't let it play, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with this project.
