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

[hiver]

I'm aspirationally hoping the game can live up to the words of its creators then be held back by how past games we've all enjoyed do things. Being closer to the words seems easier in 3d then 2d if that's what they were after.

They said doors will open and doors will close based on what the bloom eats, or what happens (as the bloom sits within dimensions) that's a easier one to understand in game terms, I'd rather the doors not there at all then that terrible RPG standby of "THE DOOR IS LOCKED" or "THIS DOOR WILL NOT OPEN" type messages because we haven't done a specific thing. With hope, the door won't actually be there!

Those are not the kind of Doors George was talking about.

He was speaking... metaphorically.

Seems that Avellone is in after all:

Great.

3.5 M confirmed.

They should have made it 4 M.

 

[Maelflux]

They should have made it 4 M.

Well, I am sure they will hit 4 mill, but if they should not, it would have been rather terrible to add him there. And also it is annoying to have stretch-goals that far away - much better with more (even smaller) stretch-goals that you can see are within reach in some days, so you can get excited to boost to get it, and then get a new reward.

Perhaps 4 Mil stretch goal will be "Margaret Weis, Pets, Weather and Airship rental for real cash!!!"

Chris Avellone.
That's it, I'm upgrading my pledge from $20 digital download to $125 Boxed Collector's Edition. Fuck money.

EDIT: I expected they were keeping him as a trump card for later stages of the campaign. I wonder if slow progress made them play this card earlier than planned.

This was sort of like adding God as a stretch goal. Christ Avellone, our savior, has his hand in many pies.

First, he will be reviewing and providing feedback on all creative elements of the game, including the story, characters, and areas. His input will be invaluable as a resource to Colin in further detailing the creative vision for the game. Second, he’ll be designing and writing an eighth companion for the game, working with Colin and Monte to craft a companion ideal for both Torment and the Ninth World of Numenera.

This is unbelievable. This game could be truly great in a way that may fracture the space-time continuum. In fact I feel like we have switched to a different WorldTrack or Narrative already.

Hey guise, what's going on in thi-

*sniff sniff*

What is up with the smell?

And why are there used tissues all over the place?

And what is that sound? It's like meat hitting... meat?



OH...!

 

[uaciaut]

Kind of saw this coming tbh, i wonder if they meant to keep it as their hidden ace till they saw funding slowing down or not. Either way fantastic news.

On the other hand, with so many writers i'm starting to feel sorry for the team that is actually responsible for turning writing into a real game, seems like they're really gonna have their work cut out for them for a long time

 

[MicoSelva]

Ok, only one companion + feedback. I'll hold on to my money for now. But I'll probably upgrade at least to standard boxed before this KS ends, because the game looks really damn sweet so far.

Guess Brother None wasn't kidding when he said that InXile still had plenty in reserve to combat the Kickstarter mid-campaign slump.

Man Rothfuss sure is an ugly Prosper-looking neckbeard. What a horrible goal. Never read him of course, taking mah girl's word for it.

"take a machete to his dick", eh? For a feminist with a socialconstructivist leaning, you sure have an odd way of going about it. Or, in other words; declarations like that is pretty much the reason we'll never be able to convince the moderates. They see shit like that and run, tail between their moderate legs. Which is why I can't help but think people that say shit like "take a machete to his dick" aren't really that interested in fighting for feminism or the breakdown of social constructs, because if they were, they'd be more concerned about winning the political battles. Instead, they seem more concerned about their own fucking anger and hatred - more about providing an equally idiotic counter-push to idiot chauvinism than about winning and actually getting somewhere.

Lesi would say this is tone argument and that as a man you have no right to tell her how to be a feminist.

Gonna answer you in a PM so as not to clutter the thread. TL;DR: She has not right to tell me how to be a feminist either, so fuck her and her bullshit.

Funny how Avellone is both raking in the dollars and the praise lately. His wife must be walking like she just took a jackhammer.

 

[Infinitron]

There is no wife.

 

[jewboy]

Harem, then.

It would actually be a worthwhile goal
