Torment Torment: Tides of Numenera Pre-Release Thread [ALPHA RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Aeschylus]

It must be really tiring always trying to find things to be offended by.

 

[Rake]

It must be really tiring always trying to find things to be offended by.

I don't know about that. Lesi and Roguey seem to cope just fine.

 

[Raapys]

It must be really tiring always trying to find things to be offended by.

Nah, I think they just pick them at random.

At any rate, the question isn't really whether or not the game has romance, gay stuff, necrophilia, bestiality or whatever. The question is whether the resources and time spent on those things could be better spent on making content that is, to the majority, more enjoyable. For my own part, exploring romances in games is really not exciting at all, regardless of the quality and maturity of that romance.

 

[Roguey]

The word fuck was not in the question.

"Would you [name]" is an internet phrase I'm familiar with. Kevin knows this too considering his response.

Well I'll just point out this is a reddit ama, where you're supposed to answer questions no matter how personally distasteful.

They didn't answer literally every question nor is that expected.

 

[Jaesun]

You are so full of shit. Now Roguey can read minds.

 

[Roguey]

His reply was "Falls-From-Grace, fatal though it may be." And then

Follow up question. Would that be an inherently evil act since she's a demon, or does her own alignment factor in to this?
ksaun

I don't judge.

I don't know how you can interpret it any other way.

 

[Jaesun]

She is a succubus. Kissing them kills you. Not fucking them.

Need to give up your new career as a mind reader. Because you fail at it.

 

[Koschey]

Aye, pretty sure it's even stated in one FFG banter or her party dialogue that her kiss can be fatal (also see her special ability potentially doing enough damage to kill a commoner)

 

[tuluse]

I believe if you have low enough wisdom you can kiss her and die.

 

[Roguey]

When someone says "Would you" they don't mean kissing.

 

[Koschey]

If that's what you are thinking of first, perhaps you ought to do some introspection instead of accusing other people.

 

[Jaesun]

You can't do anything else with a succubus. Once they kiss you you die. Roguey is trying so hard and failing so bad.

 

[Roguey]

And either way it's objectifying which is the problem I'm having.

 

[Jaesun]

He did no say which one he would fuck. That was not the question.

You should go join Gariott's team and work on his game, because you also live in some bizarre magical fantasy land where you can read people minds. You the mind reader and Gariott the greatest game developer of all time! You guys will make millions.

 

[Zed]

men wants sex with women! oh my god the end of the world

 

[Roguey]

He did no say which one he would fuck. That was not the question.

What do you think the question was and why do you think Saunders responded with "fatal though it may be." and "I don't judge"?

 

[Jaesun]

She is a succubus. What is so hard to understand about that?

 

[evdk]

Roguey works her magic on a thread again, predictably it turns to shit. Purge the last page and a half please.

I don't care if an redditor said "fuck," but I'm gonna say it.
FUCK YOU.

 

[Harg Harfardarssen]

Clearly kissing is entirely non-sexual. Obviously, he was talking about a chaste, yet fatal, peck on the cheek of kind you repeatedly give to Morte. Nothing like all the frenching you do with Dak'kon.

 

[Western]

Brother None Do you think there'll be a chance to see a game of P&P Numenera DMed before this campaign is out to get a feel for the systems or is Numenera still to early in the play testing stages?

 

[Lancehead]

Decline of the thread the last couple of pages.

There will some exciting news on Torment over the next few days...It's great to be working with such an incredible team.

And speaking of

,....


Did anyone time how long it took for first complaints about how its a dddiiifffiiicuuult jooob?
I think it took him two days for first complaints on how incredibly demanding and taxing it all is.

And now he is already getting underlings?

The mini

we

?

Is it just me, or the funding slowed down considerably? Brother None , does the funding go according to your expectations, or are you feeling a bit falling behind.

 

[Adam Heine]

I'd say the funding is about what we expected. Kickstarter's always surge in the beginning and the end, with a slow trough in the middle. Compare our pledges/backers per day to Project: Eternity's, for example. We had a bigger initial surge, but we've raised more at this stage than P:E did on the same day.

Obviously we'd like to speed up if we can. Fortunately, we've still got a couple of tricks up our sleeve...
