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

[Gakkone]

I say phase-based, just for diversity's sake. It's time to reintroduce that system back into CRPGs.

What kind of a system would that be in an isometric game? Any examples?

Ever played Frozen Synapse?

Yes, a lot actually. Very different from an rpg with it's small number of variables and purely ranged combat. Don't really see a similar system being adapted to a game like Torment. Though it would be interesting at least.

 

[Azarkon]

 

[Jaesun]

Maybe it will.

 

[skuphundaku]

If all combat would be optional (AoD style), that would be the best approach IMHO. After all, nobody played PS:T for the combat.

You could do it Final Fantasy style

Spoiler

don't hurt me

[almondblight]

Final Fantasy (and the 90% of JRPG's that copied it) combat is just blobber combat.

The early ones, yeah, but they had top down exploration perspective.

I wonder when the funding will reach a flat. It been keeps growing for now.

Seeing this, I predict a 2 million stabilization. But I believe they won't get the extra funding at the end.

 

[Infinitron]

lol, so you're still sticking to your original prediction I see.

 

[DwarvenFood]

Will stabilize after weekend I reckon, and of course there will be a push at the end, have you learned nothing, newfag/alt ?


Also, I finally had time to actually watch the video. Am I the only one that has the feeling of just having supported the NOD ?

 

[Akarnir]

lol, so you're still sticking to your original prediction I see.

My initial was 1, 800 000 at the end. Now I bet it will be 3 Million. 2 million stabilization, then 1 slow million during the course of the month (with a small peak at the end).

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

So guys. How about that Kickstarter fatigue?

 

[Borelli]

At least 4 million is my estimate.

 

[Jaesun]

MYTH: BUSTED.

 

[Deleted member 7219]

This will get enough media attention to match Project Eternity's 4 million. Kickstarter fatigue is a myth, if you're the kind of person to back a game on Kickstarter, you're going to back again when something interesting comes along. It is a shame Dreamfall Chapters couldn't get to 2 million though, I guess it didn't get enough attention.

 

[FeelTheRads]

, I guess it didn't get enough attention.

Or:

1. Adventure games are not as profitable (isn't this the only one that got over 1 milion besides DFA?)
2. People didn't care much for adventure in Oblivion GRAFIX
3. Both of the above.

Eh? It's probably a combination of Fargo's profile and the fact that Torment resonates with a much larger crowd than Dreamfall.

 

[Jaesun]

Dreamfall is using fucking shitty 3D abomination engine console crap. That's why.

They should have done a proper 2D point and click. It would probably be at 3 mil now (and I would have backed it).

Don't worry, we'll be hearing about that again in a couple months.

 

[Jaesun]

Or Friday.

 

[Gakkone]

Just wait till this one slows down a bit and there'll be people saying it won't reach 2 million because of Kickstarter fatigue.

Guarantee there are no less than 10 articles this next week about how we need to rethink what kickstarter means and how only companies with NOSTALGIA can succeed.

 

[Jaesun]

Uh MANY games have made funding even without nostalgia.

 

[Aeschylus]

I've returned (far more drunk), and it has blown past $1m as I hoped.

Yes, everything is going according to plan.
