[hiver]

hiver rolls INT for understanding: jokes
CRITICAL FAILURE!

must be...

True story you guys, this stuff is pretty nerve-wracking.

[Zed]

why is hiver taking up so much fucking space in every KS game thread?

He really lives it to the max. Instead of criticizing, everybody else should try to be more like him (at least when it comes to KS).

 

[Infinitron]

So, where's the fucking Kickstarter? It's next week already. Somebody find the draft page.

There's no Kickstarter draft yet, but I did find something new on inXile's KS profile: http://www.kickstarter.com/profile/inxile

Special thanks to Mason Douglass as CEO of Metric Driven Games, Alexander Brandon as the voice of the Narrator, director Rubidium Wu, and composer Mark Morgan.

Narrator? What narrator? Accidental promo video credits leak?

No comments on this? Mason Douglass is the "publisher kid" from the Wasteland 2 vid. Looks like they're bringing him back.

Here we go another Fuck Publisers(TM) campain.Hope it works a second time.

From what I've heard, it won't be as big a part of the video this time around.

 

[Rake]

Good. I don't think he can pull the same trick twice

 

[evdk]

what stuff?

Presumably the backend stuff.

 

[Kz3r0]

what stuff?

Presumably the backend stuff.

Posting all day on the Codex and be polite at it, try it once and see the results.

 

[evdk]

He'd probably get more pledges from here if he called somebody a cunt.

 

[DwarvenFood]

I'm betting they'll get 3.5mil.

 

[Brother None]

You're all cunts

Presumably the backend stuff.

Backend stuff, prep, final passes, input on decisions that are being finalized. That and just the act of ticking down the hours.

 

[evdk]

You have my axe pledge!

 

[Kz3r0]

why is hiver taking up so much fucking space in every KS game thread?

Every? The only ones i support are W2 and this one. I think i made one post in shadowrun thread and made a few posts in grimoire threads (not KS but similar) because i like Cleve very much.
yeah ok PE too, but thats just because of astounding levels of misunderstanding what is clearly said and presented by JS.

You fucks surely need someone to post something constructive every once in a while and generally keep things from sliding into wankery, doom predictions and empty trolling.

what stuff?

Presumably the backend stuff.

Yeah, i wondered what exactly but, thats good. He has to earn "we" anyway.
I firmly believe in the "sweat of your brows" approach to work. Especially any related to PR.

There are few things as good as crazy crunch time. No feeling like it.
Thats when you harvest the true brofists.

hah!

not worked over enough - he has time to look at the clocks!
increase the pressure more! full steam ahead!

 

[Akarnir]

I'm betting they'll get 3.5mil.

We should do that consistently and make a thread just for the betting. I bet 1,8 Million.

 

[Brzęczyszczykiewicz]

5 million.

 

[Jaesun]

OVER 9000

 

[Roguey]

I thought Torment was going to "need less" than Wasteland 2? So why are they asking for one million just the same?

 

[Brother None]

I thought Torment was going to "need less" than Wasteland 2? So why are they asking for one million just the same?

I think what I've said a few times is it doesn't need to be the hit Wasteland 2 was. As in, it doesn't need to raise 3 million for us to feel safe about our scope and team. But saying we don't need another huge hit isn't the same as saying we're lowering our minimum. We're not going to ask for less than we need, and that hasn't changed. Asking for less than one needs happens way too much on Kickstarter, it's just dishonest.

 

[Jaesun]

Yeah. I would assume with WL2 they more then likely know the right amount they would need for the project.

What an odd way of thinking. So if Wasteland 2 had only doubled its goal inXile wouldn't "feel safe" about it?

 

[Brother None]

Yeah. I would assume with WL2 they more then likely know the right amount they would need for the project.

Yeah. The pre-production to full production roll-over process - created by having two projects like this - allows more flexibility for "future income". We don't really know what WL2's sales figures will be like and we won't budget ahead for them (that's bad business), but it does mean there's less reason to be worried about scope once you have a solid, basic budget to work from, with Kevin building up a good system of modular design so we can be flexible for this. Wasteland 2's situation was different, but the minimum need estimate really just hasn't changed much. That was - and still is - what you need to make this kind of game.

The "risks" section of our KS page will cover all of this too. Kevin wanted to make sure it was more seriously addressed and explained than previous kickstarters have done.

 

[Hobz]

I thought Torment was going to "need less" than Wasteland 2? So why are they asking for one million just the same?

Because they need less than what they GOT for Wasteland 2. Not necessarily less than what they ASKED.

 

[Saduj]

Science fantasy means basically Final Fantasy.

For now I'm suspecting that FF is the closest setting to this. Apart for the Angsty teens.

It is closer to the Dying Earth, Dark Sun-type settings.

Makes me think of Thundarr the Barbarian
