Not isometric, perspective is cavalier oblique like Fallout 1 and 2, I think Arcanum was isometric.

I didn't expect so little activity in the last 3 days. Feargus has continued to virtually live in the KickStarter comments, but everyone else hasn't been up to much apart from the AMA and playing IWD2 or D&D. Either they're fatigued or they're brewing up something special and extremely timely.

You think so? Even for something like stronghold defense? Any multiplayer game that's any good takes a lot of time balancing, adding matchmaking, and dedicated server. If the players can't synergise and cooperate, what's the point? That would be a hell of a lot of work requiring quite a few more salaries.

Not enough money, would need to be $5m. Due to their fast metabolisms, the new programmers chained at the Obsidian office would require an unimaginable quantity of food, and they only eat whale and other endangered species.

InXile games: The Bard's Tale, Choplifter HD are on sale again.

Rat king of unusual size!

They probably haven't decided beyond having the digital version on a printed CD with some kind of inlay.

They could just be a giant moving mess. The floor, it moves. To complete the quest you just burn the place down, or some other single solutions. RELEASE THE CATS!

With background resource loading the game engine wouldn't need to load the entire map. Obviously they'd need a lot of RAM to create such maps, even if they were to segment the process. It's a good job RAM is so cheap, even modest developers could afford 32GB systems.

If I'm a war lord I'd like my stronghold to be used to exercise power and gather slaves. If I'm a merchant I'd like my stronghold to be a trading post.

Project Eternity signed up to KickItForward so another 5% will go to other KickStarter projects. I think that was part of the deal to get Wasteland 2 as part of the rewards.

That shouldn't be relevant, a movie can make money with digital, on-demand, and Blu-Ray.

Amazon is a credit processor, PayPal takes a slice too. KickStarter is a valuable service, it could be improved upon a bit in certain areas, but they're probably slammed with sudden growth problems.

Less than $35k to go KickStarter + PayPal.

Well, i definitely can't agree with that. Well you can always go play Mass Effect 3 or Dragon Age 2. Naaw, how cute. Such a typical response from one who has just awakened to the fact that his opinion doesn't seem to be universal. Games that you like, ****ty games, get made by publishers. Games that I like, great games, don't get made. Hence Project Eternity crowd funding, comprehend?

Yes, but not in the way you're suggesting. An RPG should creep slowly forward and have no end in sight, if it has the right kind of freedom and game play, it shouldn't have the type of story that you can even describe as being "paced" in the first place. Fallout is my favourite game, it's the model of a great RPG, while Fallout 2 is better in almost every way in terms of game play and factions, it's too damn big, there's more characters but less memorable ones, there's more places but proportionally less great ones.

I think they're going to get to $3.7-3.8m at the max now, so there's not much room for stretch goals. MCA plays Arcanum at $3.6m and Adam's stretch goal is $4m for CATS are confirmed.

Tim Cain is maintaining eye contact. Adam is pulling the funniest face. Feargus is pulling a great face when he turns to the right.

They've got less than $60k to go to hit $3.5m with KickStarter + PayPal, and the way it's going that's going to be hit well before sun rise on the west coast of the US.

Yes, but that's not the explanation behind this name.

Today is the 3rd most funded day.

Both systems can be done well and both can be done poorly, both have advantages and drawbacks. I prefer a compromise between the two, but I can enjoy either system.

Also making 3D maps that can be viewed from a variety of angles takes a hell of a lot longer than isometric/cavalier oblique 2D maps. That's partly why Dragon Age 2 had camera and texture issues, they didn't have enough time to account for viewing angles in a 3D game.

Sure, my point is, though, that it's not as if modern British English inherently fits medieval settings any more than modern American English. Both are, in most aspects, equally distant from it. To be fair, you rarely get representative modern British English in medieval settings, you get a hell of a lot more West Country pirates and farmers for instance.
