Game News "What can change the nature of a game?" - Torment: Tides of Numenera Kickstarter is LIVE

[Jaesun]

That was a good pitch.

You guys all deserve a drink now.

 

[Jaesun]

Let's see them stretch goals.

Brian Fargo ‏@BrianFargo
We will get on some stretch goals ASAP.. after we are done running around and waving our arms in excitement.

 

[Rake]

I hope this campaign matches the 4M$ of Eternity. Not only we get a good game but Obsidian notices and puts more bizarre, weird stuff in Eternity.(and Torment's actions through dialogue)
One stone , two birds.
everywhere

 

[Gondolin]

They will get on them? You mean they don't have a plan?

 

[Wizfall]

CMcC it's a bit early but congratz.
I think you will need to remember moment like this during development and crushing phase

His latest tweet implies that while they've sketched out the actual ideas for stretch goals, they are working to wrap up the presentation method.

Thought we might have had more than 5 hours to put together our visual for our stretch goals.

You are not Mrowak

400,000 in 2 hours.

800,000 in 5 hours.

OH NO, IT'S SLOWING DOWN!

 

[Ovplain]

It'd be pretty weird if they didn't roll out the stretch goals by the time they hit 900k at the latest.:S Shocking even. Strike while the iron's hot 'n shit.

I think they may have at least some stretch goals, but don't have the fancy presentation for them:

[Haba]

That's it, I am withdrawing my pledge.

What an OUTRAGE

 

[Jaesun]

Yeah it will be funded within the next hour for sure. Holy shit.

 

[TalesfromtheCrypt]

The rate at which this Kickstarter is growing is beyond ridiculous. They'll will gather 1 Million dollars in just a few hours. Kickstarter fatigue my ass. And they haven't even announced any stretch goals yet. I didn't realize PS:T has developed such a cult following over the years. Anyways, congrats to Fargo, Saunders McComb and the rest of the team

Just put in $50. If we do a Codex fundraiser I'll chip into that too.

 

[Sputnik]

I couldn't help but waste my weekly allowance invest $113 on this as well. I'm even more excited about this than I was about WL2 or P:E.

Now this made me reinstall Planescape: Torment again...

 

[Jaesun]

ZIETS!

 

[Vault Dweller]

Well, if there ever was an RPG KS destined to hit 6-8 mil, it's this one. It combines Numenera, Torment, and inXile fans, so hopefully it won't run out of steam anytime soon.

 

[evdk]

That's it, I am withdrawing my pledge.

What an OUTRAGE

What tier did you pledge anyway, since you are hate and all.

 

[Vault Dweller]

Only 100 $250 boxes left. Better grab one now, guys.

 

[evdk]

mindx2 will not be happy.

 

[Infinitron]

I'm sure they'll add more later on.

 

[Jaesun]

mindx2 will not be happy.

I know. He's going to be missing out. I should have asked him what tier he wanted and hold one for him. But even now with the KS going so fucking crazy It would probably get taken the second I backed out of it.

 

[Gondolin]

Suggested stretch goal: USD 4 million so that we don't have to do another Kickstarter campaign next spring. You can fund our next-next game right now!

 

[Koschey]

Only 100 $250 boxes left. Better grab one now, guys.

Indeed

Come on, inXile, be bros and enable PayPal already. No chance in hell you won't reach your funding goal. I'm itching to throw money at you.

 

[Rake]

Behold the power of marketing preparation. It just proves what a well-thought pitch can achieve. In fact is possible that after the first big 4 kicstarters come out and are good, the second generation of games (W3, P:E2, next Shadowrun,Avellone's kickstarter etc.) will gather 10 millions without publiser's support. Then we can have great games all year round.
