We've also got another 16,110 from four different websites donating. That would put us at 3,200,127 Which four websites? http://www.neogaf.co...ad.php?t=491435 http://gamebanshee.c...roject-eternity http://www.<span sty...ent.php?id=8456 http://www.sorcerers...ead.php?t=58007

The creature variety isn't going to be limited and they have not spread themselves thin in any way, shape, or form. They stated that the other IE games were done with similar 'small' teams, not to mention they don't have to build an engine from the ground up, it's already there and ready for them to use. That already saves a great deal of time and money. I'm not sure why this would even get brought up. In fact the creature variety will be even more so than it would have been, this new dungeon, the fort, the big big city number 2 all add characters, lore, and new creatures to the game. You're stating that adding new content takes away other content, when in fact it not only adds more content, but it adds everything we want in a new infinity game.

He NEVER said they don't do level scaling. And even before he said, that if they do it it's just going to be in the main story, so that you don't end up overpowered for it. Which is what he said in that Pcgamer Quote. So, no. He said that they might use very little scaling or probably none at all. The "none at all" does not seem to be the case anymore. Anyway, New Vegas used a lot more than a little level scaling. But like I wrote in a post a few above this one - we really still have no idea how and to which degree they are going to actually implement level scaling. If it is on a scale like the IE games, then that is fine - and that is what I expect when he says "very little scaling". He said IF. IF. That does in no way imply fact. And he DID just after that clarify (don't remember where though). That he might do it on the criticall/main path. He first said Project Eternity might use very little level scaling or probably none at all. After the PC Games chat we now know that Project Eternity will in fact definitely use level scaling, similar to what was used in New Vegas, which only level scaled the main campaign. In New Vegas the entire critical path used level scaling extensively and that is the problem. Yup. The entire main quest was level scaled (which was a huge part of the game), not certain areas and side quests. I already wrote this. Nobody has a problem with a little scaling to balance out some issues, it was already used in the Inifnity Engine games, but these used encounter scaling and not level scaling and they did not use it very often. The problem is that he referenced New Vegas, a game that used level scaling extensively. If they are going to slighty scale the game to resolve some balancing issues, then they should use encounter scaling and not level scaling. And it should only use very little scaling and not a lot like in New Vegas. But like I have said many times, you and I both don't know what they are really up to, and how and to which degree level scaling or encounter scaling will be included in the game, because they don't really say anything about it. All we now know is that there will in fact be some kind of level/encounter scaling in the game. Which is fine if it is done right, like in the IE games. If they do in fact include level scaling similar to what we had in New Vegas (which means a lot of level scaling), then Project Eternity will be more of a spiritual successor to Dragon Age: Origins and not the Inifinity Engine games. I kind of get the feeling that when he compared it to Fallout New Vegas that was an accident.

If we keep increasing at 8000-9000 increments every hour we're going to blow past that goal by far.

We've also got another 16,110 from four different websites donating. That would put us at 3,200,127

Here we go our next update. 3,184,017 that's a 18,980 increase! (9.8k/hour) Our backer count is now 64,052 a 204 increase (102/hour). 5k shy of surpassing Friday's donation amount on Kick Starter.

Heh, I believe more and more people will do that as the word gets spread, more money towards the game is the best possible outcome.

Keeping in mind we still have over 48 hours that's 2 full days. The weekends have been the lowest days for donations so bear that in mind as well. It's very possible we will see 200,000 in donations just tomorrow and close to 300,000 on Tuesday. (This of course being the best possible outcome and us hitting nearly 4 million.)

On the KS page you can change/edit the amount you donate and at the end they send out a survey to see what the extra money is for. I'm not sure if the Paypal page works the same, maybe someone else can clarify better and answer this question.

They will have clarification for us tomorrow, I see no reason why they wouldn't continue, but the person who was answering on Twitter probably just doesn't know. I don't foresee any problem with continuing but a lot of people have been asking if Obsidian will keep the Paypal open after the KS. The point would be to keep raising in funds and making the game better and better. Fun fact! We are 20,000 away from beating our donation intake on Friday for KS, Friday's donations of 142,737 were the highest we've seen since the first four days of the KS, the fourth day generating 156,501.

Our next 2 hour update is here. 3,165,037 a whopping 20,638 increase or 10.3k/hour. 63,848 backers that's a 218 increase or 109/hour. (You may have noticed me fiddling with my signature colors, was trying to get some non annoying/too bright colors, think I'm finally done changing them, sorry about that if it was too bright for anyone before.)

Small update for those wondering about continuing PayPal after Kick Starter ends.

I'd get him a digital copy that way he'll have the game. but he really does like boxed games. and perhaps an early game impression makes him buy the boxed version himself. and by the way ... he has more money than me ;-) Pffft... then he should be buying 'you' a game!

I'd get him a digital copy that way he'll have the game.

So it must be designed to show the entire statue then. Sucks we won't get that far, but I'm hoping we'll hit level 11. We're 1,252 backers away from level 10.

The dungeon was updated as well.

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnd the trend is broken! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3suGfhnT2Sg We have succeeded in donating more to this project today than yesterday, thus breaking the trend of every Saturday having more funding than the following Sunday. (I know it's something silly to celebrate, but I'll take any victory anywhere we can get it.)

Yes, Paypal is better for Obsidian. I believe Kick Starter takes a portion.

Buns look great! Heck anything anyone does (well... non criminal things) to increase their pledge for PE will be simply amazing.

Unfortunately they cant link their site to facebook because it's a corporation so the only likes that count are the ones directly on facebook.

In one of the updates Josh (I believe) apologized about the map and said that it's not the final design. So I'm not really sure what all the fuss is about we haven't even seen the real map yet. Forgot to add, I agree with what you said

I thought it said 'The World' because they have yet to come up with a name for the game, or at least I remember that conversation somewhere.

I can answer one of those questions that I understood. I believe we can expect a minimum 30,000 loss due to insufficient funds or people backing out last minute. Oh he was asking if his money will be sent if he donates after the KS, so yeah I didn't understand that at all
