The Guildmaster Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 We’ve hit the $3M mark now on Project Eternity and it’s on to add another Big, Big City to the game! We have less than 50 hours to go before the Kickstarter ends! Before we announce some new stuff, some quick housekeeping is in order. If you are looking to add anything on to your pledge, check out our Project Eternity Add-On List page. This includes instructions on how to add on other options, as well as what our current offerings are. Also to reduce some confusion in finding what each tier contains (we’re no longer able to update some of our posts on the Kickstarter site), we have a comprehensive list of the Project Eternity Reward Tiers up as well over on our Tumblr site. Two last items, we’re hosting an AMA (Ask Me Anything) tomorrow on reddit. A number of Project Eternity staffers will be on hand at 10 AM PDT / 1 PM ET to answer your questions about the game! Then at 5 PM PDT / 8 ET, watch us on Ustream play some D&D in the studio! Project Eternity the Documentary The big news for the day is that we are adding a documentary covering the development of Project Eternity. After getting a lot of requests to do a documentary, like the Double Fine Adventure, we started looking into it a couple of weeks ago. We talked about it more last week and decided that we don’t have a visual history of one of our games, even after almost ten years as a company. We felt it was something we should just do and do it without it being a new stretch goal. So, we are happy to announce that we are going to include a stream, download, or physical copy of the documentary in all of our Kickstarter reward tiers. At the $20/$25 level you will be able to stream it, at the $35 level you will be able to download it, and at the $140 level (and physical tiers above) we will include a DVD / Blu-ray. We are not going to use the Kickstarter funding to do this however, since this is something we decided to do anyway. To us, it is a thank you to all of you for supporting us over the last month in making Project Eternity a reality and a historical record for everyone at Obsidian as well. Project Eternity Playing Cards Add-On As a fun new add-on for Sunday, we are now offering Project Eternity playing cards for $10. Designed by Scott Everts, one of our longtime technical artists who worked on Black Isle’s Infinity Engine games, and does a lot of work on board games, he designed this beautiful set which will feature characters and maybe critters (Kerfluffleupogus, Devourer of the Faithful anyone?) from Project Eternity. Check out the Project Eternity Add-On List on how to add-on items to your pledge. (Please note: Playing Cards only available to tiers including physical items. For digital tier folks, we’ll hopefully sell these as a future store offering.) New Wallpaper Last, but not least, we’ve received a lot of great feedback on the concept art for some of our first key characters. So here is a new wallpaper with each of the characters that we have released so far. Might we be releasing more art soon? Stay tuned… 1920x1080 | 1920x1200 Tomorrow, we will be updating everyone with a schedule for Tuesday and another fun add-on. Oh and we have some plans for a crazy new reward tier for Tuesday morning. Thanks everyone! Update by Feargus Urquhart Like us on Facebook! Next goal is 40,000 likes for another Mega Dungeon level. We're also on Twitter: @Obsidian. We announce ongoing PayPal figures there too. 4
Ieo Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 (edited) Um, plz can have Sagani concept art in Polina style too? Thx. Ooh, more stuff... Documentary I like. Cards...... I could give as a gift. Edit: Also, I love that Edair's skeptical/wary look is directed at Aloth's direction. HA! Edited October 14, 2012 by Ieo 1 The KS Collector's Edition does not include the Collector's Book.

Cantousent Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 Aw well, I guess I'll have to add enough for a couple of packs of cards. The funny thing is, while I've been thinking of stuff to gift folks, I'm going to keep a pack of those cards for myself, damn it. lol Fionavar's Holliday Wishes to all members of our online community: Happy Holidays Join the revelry at the Obsidian Plays channel:Obsidian Plays Remembering tarna, Phosphor, Metadigital, and Visceris.

HumanFlesh+5 Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 i really like the cards!! Trum, trum, terum tum tum - the landsknecht and his gaudy war drum.
Labadal Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 I bet the tension at the office is at an all time high for the next couple of days.
C2B Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 They are also now all confirmed companions. Can we update the wiki?
Monte Carlo Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 Good luck and thanks for the documentary, adding it like that is pretty damn gracious of you.
RosesandAshes Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 How did you guys know I can't resist playing cards?! I mean, I have no one to play with, but I still love them. *glances at her poor, crying wallet* You can spare ten bucks, can't you? 1
Paulicus Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 Really looking forward to the documentary and the cards are a good idea. 1
The Guildmaster Posted October 14, 2012 Author Posted October 14, 2012 My apologies on them being stated here as companions - that should have read "key characters'. Editing now!
JanJansen Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 Another good update! Documentary is a nice bonus, and I'm sure the cards will be awesome too. Just wish I wasn't in the UK, I'd love to go for a physical tier but don't want to get stung by import taxes...
D0nk3ySh0ck Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 I am getting more excited about this game everyday.
Volourn Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 So the dwarven female ranger isn't a companion? Awww.... And, all that hype for her lvoeable self gone. Double aww... :( DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Jaesun Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 VERY excited for the documentary! <3 Some of my Youtube Classic Roland MT-32 Video Game Music videos | My Music | My Photography
sesobebo Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 not all the blokes in the picture are companions, and all the companions are not in the picture. so You can keep them fingers crossed. q:

Olauron Mor-Galad Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 My apologies on them being stated here as companions - that should have read "key characters'. Editing now! They were (almost) stated as companions in the update #15: we wanted to give you a piece of art to show you examples of characters you may encounter (and adventure with) in Project Eternity
Kaldurenik Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 (edited) Hmm... Playing cards any idea on how they will look yet? also will be interesting to see the documentary Edited October 14, 2012 by Kaldurenik

Shoeless Joe Jackson Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 Do the playing cards get added to any of the tiers automatically or are they strictly a separate add on?
Kaldurenik Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 Do the playing cards get added to any of the tiers automatically or are they strictly a separate add on? The playing cards are only available as a addon right now
gsalerno Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 Another good update! Documentary is a nice bonus, and I'm sure the cards will be awesome too. Just wish I wasn't in the UK, I'd love to go for a physical tier but don't want to get stung by import taxes... You can use services like "viaddress.com" for receiving goods in USA and then from there ship to europe. When you ship you can declare any value for the goods....
Clammo Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 (edited) The documentary is a really generous idea. Love the cards too, going to get a few of those. Oh, and I''d echo Hideo Kuze's sentiment about please record the D&D session, etc, as that's going to be pretty late in my time zone. Edited October 14, 2012 by Clammo
