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

[Deleted member 7219]

I like this update very much. Mechanics they presented sound great, and I Mitsoda! He did a great job at Bloodlines.

He did, but what has he done since? It was a long time ago, in game years.

I backed Dead State and I really hope it turns out to be great, but I'm more concerned after reading this news, not less.

"With each new stretch goal... we will employ another writer." More text is always nice, but no raging boner.

Also, the dungeon idea, great stuff.

 

[Infinitron]

Now Dead State is certainly never coming out.

Or maybe it is because Brian will have money now.

 

[Jaesun]

Mitsoda will more than likely design an area, just like Ziets will. As both of them are still busy with other projects.

 

[BobtheTree]

Doesn't Mitsoda have his own game to make? All these Kistarter projects are going to delay each other with all this cross studio collaboration.

 

[Hobo Elf]

I suppose there will be some kind of explanation why our body is practically... err... immortal, (as in you dont die of old age or sickness but can by killed, right?) - but.. doesnt that go against the "what one life matters?"

I don't see why it would. What does your life matter even if you are immortal? Maybe being immortal doesn't matter? If anything it just gives us a new angle to ask the same question.

They said that schedules of Brian and Torment development are fitting for this to work.

9 months pre-production, remember?

 

[Kem0sabe]

Mitsoda will more than likely design an area, just like Ziets will. As both of them are still busy with other projects.

The zone will be called "Deb of the Nigh" and feature an epic fight with a Frickin' Chicken. Shame he was not credited on some of the voice work he ended up doing on Bloodlines.

Also, besides Bloodlines, what has he been up to till now? Besides the awesome Dead State?

Good point.

Though it is much, much, much easier to make your life matter if you are immortal. Surely.
You do loose a sense of urgency - which was something very clearly communicated in PST.


Another thing is this dying business doesnt really fit with being immortal. - I mean...its all to easy and brings only benefits, which i pointed out already.

But keep in mind im not simply criticizing. Im asking for additional explanations and info so it all makes better sense.

He worked in a bunch of cancelled Obsidian projects.

Both Ziets and Brian can roll in more once their current projects wrap up, yes. Not undoable

(this makes me conclude that cyphers are something like glyphs or runes instead of something materialistic, of course)

Cyphers are one of the types of numenera in the Ninth World, described here.

 

[norolim]

This game gets better after every update so far. And Mitsoda will probably join after Dead State is finished...if it's ever finished

So youre telling me Cyphers i will find in my mind are objects made of matter that i will get to take out of my head?

o_O

 

[Captain Shrek]

Hey Vault Dweller. How is Dead state coming along? I heard you guys were 'helping' out there a bit?

 

[evdk]

Dead State wrapping up in the non geological scale near future? Haha, oh wow

 

[Excidium]

Wouldn't be out of place.

2D STRETCH GOAL https://torment.uservoice.com/forums/192241-stretch-goals/suggestions/3742526-2d-backrounds-like-p-e

Vote for this.

 

[Jaesun]

I did my duty and the last of my 3 votes went for that.

 

[Excidium]

With 2D backgrounds this will beat PE at everything.

 

[Blaine]

Added three votes for 2D. How the fuck is this even an optional-priority stretch goal, though? Christ.

 

[Kirtai]

At least it means actual people will get credit for what they did instead of the old way where you supposed to trust in companies.

Indeed, it's annoyed me for a while that you can't follow the work of game designers, writers & artists the way you can follow film directors & actors, book authors or comic artists & writers.

It's p. obvious they are saving such an important stretch goal for 4 million or something. Money will rain down when they announce it, Fargo isn't dumb.

 

[Rake]

Voted. Brother None, just anounce it damn it.

Remember, you and your creator are being hunted.

I think they will announce 2D after they will reach it, to don't discourage potential backers. They will probably show cool looking screen like Project Eternity.
