Seriously

I've been a huge fan of the games listed on kickstarter page since before Obsidian existed, and loved all of them, they are, to me, what games should be. The BEST medium of storytelling. Theyre interactive, which movies are not. They are visually represented, which books and tabletop RPGs are not. I mostly enjoy video games for their stories, I even play the new CoD games single player campaigns just to see the story progression of the characters. I also play mindless, storyless games for their own entertainment value, but now im getting off track.

 

I'm too poor to donate to this project (screw it i'm donating anyway). I went to a game design school when i was a teenager, wanting to be a concept artist/lead designer in the industry. I'm currently occasionally employed as a construction worker and looking for other work, while designing campaign settings in my basement for fun. I have a lot of ideas for stuff like this (as a lot of people do, i know). I can draw decently, if slowly, and often draw what you would see in a Monster Manual or concept art book. One of my favorite aspects of RPG games or games in general is character customization, and hope that someday it will reach the unlimited possibilities of character design that you can achieve in pen and paper games.

 

Anyway, I'm so excited about this idea that I want to come work for Obsidian, just so I can donate all my extra income after basic survival to this project to make the game as epic as possible. I don't really know how I could help but I'd find a way. This is basically just another THANK YOU SO MUCH thread. THANK YOU SO MUCH for these games. I have not been this excited about a game since hearing about the development of TOR 5 years ago, or early design rumors of Fable, or the MMO most people dont remember now, "Horizons". Both games had astounding design ideas going into development that were mostly not implimented due to time/budget constraints or the limitations of the game engines I'm sure.

 

The idea of this project has made over a million in 1 day! I hope sincerely believe that this game will make as much money as a blockbuster game took to develop last time I knew the numbers, which was 14 million (around 8 years ago this was the number) on average, you totally deserve it
