lordgizka Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 (edited) Their new set of stretch goals is so ambitious it's almost funny. Also, I'm interested in how their number of legacies is justified. I mean, suppose the original 6 are one dominant color each + no affiliation. What is 16 then if there are 9 possible pairs for 5 colors + individual ones + no affiliation? Also, if what I write now makes no sense, then my excuse is me being sleepy. Edit: I mean 10 pairs. Okay, it makes sense. Woo.

Keyrock Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 (edited) The Torment guys surely don't mess around. It should be noted that under no circumstance did any Obsidian Forum member see this video yesterday. Any rumor to the contrary should immediately be dismissed. As far as the new stretch goals go, and here they are for easy reference: I still think they'll hit 4 million. Anything above that is... well, a stretch. I hope I'm proven wrong, though.

Sensuki Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 (edited) Yeah saw the above posts. I'd say the number of stretch goals is fair enough. Ambitious sure, but no one will ever say they weren't prepared for their kickstarter, that's fore sure LOL.

Nonek Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 (edited) The animation on what one assumes is the cold, calculating Jack looks very lifelike, quite impressed with that little tech demo. Is that just smoke or some kind of shadow swooping in at the bottom of the screen towards the end. Edited April 2, 2013 by Nonek Quite an experience to live in misery isn't it? That's what it is to be married with children.I've seen things you people can't even imagine. Pearly Kings glittering on the Elephant and Castle, Morris Men dancing 'til the last light of midsummer. I watched Druid fires burning in the ruins of Stonehenge, and Yorkshiremen gurning for prizes. All these things will be lost in time, like alopecia on a skinhead. Time for tiffin. Tea for the teapot!

Yeah, for a hastily thrown together, rough proof of concept it's mighty impressive. Also, once they update their PayPal page I'm going to throw a $12 Digital Numenera Torment Sourcebook onto my $75 Digital Numenera Seeker tier. You got me again, Brian Fargo. Well played, sir. Well played indeed. Edit: Is that just smoke or some kind of shadow swooping in at the bottom of the screen towards the end. I'm pretty sure it's some sort of beastie.

Keyrock Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 (edited) I think you're both partially right. inXile now has a good bit of experience working with Unity because of said Wasteland 2 and Obsidian has already been working with 2D backgrounds with 3D characters within Unity on Project: Eternity. Either way, if collaboration between the two companies can help them produce things quicker an more efficiently, in Project: Eternity, Torment: Tides of Numenera, and possibly future projects, then it's a beautiful thing. Anyway, the final push is pretty much beginning now. Hopefully the last 2 days are nearly as crazy as the first 2 days were.

Sensuki Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I'm sure Obsidian have shared information with inXile as well but it also sounds as if they are not using exactly the same process as Obsidian is with making their backgrounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oner Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 That animet shot reminds me of Primordia, in a good way. Though that game wasn't animated in this way.

entrerix Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 that screenshot was very impressive, really reminded me of the original torment. Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game. I am there. and the other player is there. and it's just the two of us. and I put the other player's body in my van. and I am the winner. - Nice Pete.

Keyrock Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 3.4 million and counting! With the PayPal pledges (presumably in the 70k-ish range) we're rapidly approaching Chris Avellone territory. It looks like today will break 100k (Kicktraq currently shows 95k) for the first time since day 4, which bodes well for the inevitable final 2 days of madness.

Agiel Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 So do you think it's on track to beat Project Eternity all-in-all, Paypal included? Not knocking on either (I contributed to both, but truth told, my heart goes more with Torment), but I honestly thought Kickstarter fatigue would kick in when this was announced, but I'm glad I was proven wrong. Quote “Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.” -Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>> Quote "The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete." -Rod Serling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm confident it will break 4 million (Kickstarter only) and I think the PayPal numbers will wind up being fairly similar to what P:E did. In short, yes. My guess at the final figure, Kickstarter & PayPal (at the time of the Kickstarter ending, as some tiers will continue to be available via slacker backer-esque system) is 4.3 million-ish.

duskwind Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Pessimists! It's virtually at $3.5m now with paypal included, and will be well past it when I wake up tomorrow. For a final total as low as $3.6m, it would have to earn less in the last 64 hours combined than it did today, which seems rather implausible.

Arcoss Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Seeing as PE added 862K in the last 2 days( around 25% increase ) and with Torment having more support than PE I say 4.5M is a realistic goal Also we need to take into account the fact that Fargo and another guy pledged 100K each Legionnaire of the Obsidian Order Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorstUsernameEver Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Also we need to take into account the fact that Fargo and another guy pledged 100K eachFargo and Dengler's contributions aren't counted for stretch goals tho', they're mostly there to offset the pledges that are lost for credit card problems etc., when you raise this kind of sums they can be significant.

alanschu Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 It's also impossible to say what every other development studio would have contributed personally. I mean, if Torment is almost done and needs an extra $10k, what are the odds that Fargo doesn't pony it up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
