Flouride Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 The most important part was left out in all of the media coverage. What is the project name aka which state was Grounded called before it got the official name? 3 Hate the living, love the dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_dog_days Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Presumably Mississippi 'cause it comes next in territories to join the Union. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethics Gradient Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Maine. That implies there are three other projects (Mississippi, Illinois, and Alabama) potentially under consideration.

I love keeping track of this kind of info. So then perhaps MS, IL, and AL are (not in order) the projects of Adler, Perez, and Parker? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

January 2018 he started working on the Deadfire DLCs. That Unannounced project was added there this summer, when his work as a Gameplay Design Director on an another unannouced game stopped. 1 Hate the living, love the dead.

kanisatha Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 So while we are in speculation mode about current projects underway at Obsidian, what do you all think of the prospect that one of those very-early exploratory projects could be NwN3? I mean, even though apparently Obsidian also sought it, the BG license eventually went to Larian. So why not the NwN license possibly going to Obsidian?

Flouride Posted November 17, 2019 Author Share Posted November 17, 2019 Since my last post Matthew Perez has taken down his role as a Game Director. He is now a Lead Area Designer. It could be that he was the Game Director on Outer Worlds DLC and finished his work on it or it was his project that was cancelled earlier this year. So I guess that scratches off one of the projects from the list. - The Outer Worlds DLC -Grounded -Project Missouri aka Sawyer's project -Parker's Project aka the AAA cRPG -Adler's project (which might be Missouri). 1 Hate the living, love the dead.

Aww man! Too bad. But it's to be expected some of these projects will not work out. And I suspect that at least one and maybe more of "Mississippi", "Illinois", and "Alabama" are indeed canceled projects because projects like Parker's, for example, seem to have been launched much more recently and as such may have a codename that comes after "Missouri".

I believe Parker's project was started before Missouri. What throws me off, is the Grounded's Maine project name. Maybe they didn't hand out that name until very recently? At least one of the "Mississippi", "Illinois" and "Alabama" projects is cancelled. Twitter handle (?) Rand Al'Thor said that Grounded isn't the project that got Microsoft interested in acquiring Obsidian. Neither was The Outer Worlds. So there is a project that has been in the works quite some time now and made Microsoft buy the company. 2 Hate the living, love the dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which may be the long-rumored AAA open world RPG project, which some have associated with Parker but maybe not so. Hmmm. Very interesting. Grounded being "Maine" threw me off as well, though yes I also think it's likely this game came together as a real project very suddenly at the last minute. And as a side-note, thanks a lot for sharing this kind of information because I for one love playing around with these puzzles in my head. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theonlygarby Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 (edited) Outer world's wasn't what got Microsoft interested? That makes me very excited for the future of obsidian!
