"This is better news than the PS4."

Good pitch video, it really collar grabs your attention. Some humour from Mr. Fargo, and after that information from McComb who semms to be a reliable guy. I wonder who will make the localisation for Potato Empire, not an easy job (same for other versions). Oh well, enough talk.

Hey Brother None, I haven't been able to keep up with all the Torment stuff going on lately because I've been busy but I understand you're a part of the team? What's your involvement on the project? How long have you been part of inXile? Anyway, good luck with this and congratulations, this is looking very promising!

 

[skuphundaku]

$482,189 already (pledged $500)

Dark Underlord (Infinitron, Jaesun, Crooked Bee), how are those Codex fundraiser plans going?:D

Oh, fuck. Forgot about that. This will be expensive.

Hope it's not NZ dollars again to eat ~5% of the whole sum due to currency conversion.

Really interesting to see how they decided to communicate the "Why now" question in the W2 update and the video. The limousine thing is cheesy but it's done pretty well as an amateur production and it is pretty effective. I'm assuming they studiously avoided saying "we have to fire people" to avoid memories of Chris Taylor...

Put in $95, probably add a $20 later for the beta.

 

[Kosmonaut]

Damn. On one hand this campaign is for a game from a company that still has to deliver the game from the first Kickstarter. On the other hand, the pitch is fantastic, and I really want this game to be made. Oh well, went with the $95 tier.

 

[maverick]

Meh, I missed the $95 tier. I'll resist the urge and pledge only $20 this time.

I'm very impressed by their presentation though. Best opening pitch for a cRPG on Kickstarter ever.

What matters most is that the jabs at low-quality AAA titles and producers continue.

 

[Lancehead]

Seems like it'll make a million before 24 h quite easily. I think P:E did less than that the first day.

 

[General Maxson]

Ah man, this is so sweet. InXile bringing the single-handedly. And that pitch. Wow! Sets new standards for pitches... I'll try to give them some money surely. I just wish I wasn't so lamely broke, so I could throw more. But, oh well. I must be glad to be able to give anything at all! What's funny, I'm no great Torment fan, and not a big storyfag, but this pitch is so good, and makes the game seem so interesting, that I just can't miss this chance to pledge. Guess I'm becoming an InXile fanboy... :D

TLDR:

 

[Aeschylus]

Seems like it'll make a million before 24 h quite easily. I think P:E did less than that the first day.

P:E did about 1.1m (their goal) in the first 24 hours.

 

[Infinitron]

P:E did about 1.1m (their goal) in the first 24 hours.

It took them 27 hours, to be exact.

 

[Koschey]

Damn, I'm so pumped, I don't think I'll live past 2014. If the start of the KS already has such an effect, as soon as the game is released I'll die either of joy or of rage.
Hope I'll still be able to nab an Oddity or Cypher tier to ruin my finances yet again when PayPal backing goes live.

Anyway

great flow to the story and characters ... the dialogues ... it looked beautiful ...
...
So i wouldn´t go as far as claiming that PS:T had horrible gameplay.

So it had good story, dialogues, and graphics... tell me again how that has anytihng to do with the gameplay? The quest design maybe was great from a story perspective but if you think fed-ex is an example of good gameplay then.... yikes.

 

[hoverdog]

This can change the nature of a pledge.

 

[Vault Dweller]

Helped true bros fighting the good fight with their kickstarter videos and grabbed the Cypher collection - it appears to be pretty fucking awesome.

 

[Lagole Gon]

Best kickstarter video so far. Even I will send them some potatoes.

Isn't all that gameplay? story, dialogue, graphics, quest design, etc. PS:T was lacking in several fronts, especially the combat and the ending, but fuck me if the journey through it was not the best piece of "gameplay" i ever experienced in an crpg.

I don't know if this was meant sarcastically or earnestly, but either earns a brofist.

 

[Semper]

dunno. for me planescape torment was all about the writing... and currently there's no really good writer working at inxile.

 

[TalesfromtheCrypt]

Holy shit this KS is super fast isn't it? Launched a few hous ago and its already over 500 K. Is ist faster than project Eternity and Wasteland 2 ? Anyways, did my patriotic duty and got the Patron of the Arts 35 Dollar edition.

 

[St. Toxic]

It made something like 100 k while I was watching the video. Any comment Studio Fawn ?

 

[DwarvenFood]

The fuck ?

McComb and Cook did so much of work on the PS:T setting among other things.. really not sure if serious, but this is the dreamiest dream team so far, I don't even mind the lack of MCA on this one.
