Byeohazard Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 I know Chris has spread his wings and moved on to new adventures however I was wondering if the novella was still in the works. If it is when should we expect to enjoy it? I check every so often on my account but to no avail. Some word would be rather nice. Thanks! 1
juanval Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 We can read lots of news about Chris Avellone, but nothing related to the Novella. It's weird to see the expansion released before than Novella. I raised my pledge because of the Novella.

It's weird to see the expansion released before than Novella. I raised my pledge because of the Novella. Yes...it would be appreciated either way of some news on it's progress or discontinuation. Obsidian is a well established and professional company so I am surprised we have not been updated. Maybe I have not been looking in the right places for information but I have tried.
Karkarov Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 I am pretty sure it is dead in the water at this point, but if it did release eventually it would be nice.
Miquel93 Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 He hasn't made the Wasteland 2 novella yet, so I would assume that the more likely event is that is dead. It would be nice if another writer, be it Eric, Carrie... etc, would make a "substitute" novella, so the reward doesn't just disappear, although I don't think it will happen.
OldDog Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 I am pretty sure it is dead in the water at this point, but if it did release eventually it would be nice. Well I paid £20 or so for the audio novella,... I'd be really disappointed if it never materialised,.... its a poor show that there has been no word on it since some like me have actually forked out a fair few bob extra for it.

I am surprised there has really been no status report. I realize Obsidian has priorities and for the life of me I can't help but think touching base with their customer base should be up there on the list. Good news or bad news, I think that communication would be appreciated. Get enough folks commenting here and maybe it will be noticed...not enough comments and perhaps it is not as important as I think it is. I do respect Obsidian though so I think eventually we should hear something.
GayLenin Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 I apologise for the necro-bump, but I asked Chris this question on twitter last month and received a prompt reply. I doubt MCA is the type of person to renege on an already made promise! 9
gkathellar Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 Yessssss If I'm typing in red, it means I'm being sarcastic. But not this time. Dark green, on the other hand, is for jokes and irony in general.

I doubt MCA is the type of person to renege on an already made promise! I appreciate your research and your bump!! Thanks for the good word! 1
Byeohazard Posted November 30, 2015 Author Posted November 30, 2015 Wondering if there has been any more information on when/if it is still planned...been a couple months since I heard anything. 1
Byeohazard Posted January 30, 2016 Author Posted January 30, 2016 Gonna be a cold day in Eora before we see the likes of this............or hear word, 2
Starwars Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 Maybe someone should reach out to Brandon or some other dev. Not the fans' job in the first place though of course... Listen to my home-made recordings (some original songs, some not): http://www.youtube.c...low=grid&view=0
gogocactus Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 This is getting a bit bizarre. In my opinion, the release of the white March two should include the release of the novella in edited or unedited form as following the release of the expansion the team will almost certainly move onto other projects.
juanval Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 I guess Chris Avellone Novella never was written. Now that we are familiarized with PoE setting, I hope, at least, to read more "short novels" in the future, while we are waiting for PoE 2 release . I liked the 4 short stories. 3
Carados Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 (edited) Been kind of wondering this too, but it was never really the reason to back this game. Just something extra on top of extra. That being said, it would be ofcourse nice to read it at some point. Imo otherwise Obsdian has done outstanding work crafting all these extra materials, like the documentary, Campaign almanach, Collector's book, PoE soundtrack and Tim Cain's cookbook etc. Edited February 13, 2016 by Carados
boffmoffet Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 Gotta put a bump on this, I really do think that fans deserve an official answer on this one, which has been ignored for some time. I really enjoyed the game, Obsidian did a great job, but staying silent on this one still is quite unbecoming. Rude even! 2
Gromnir Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 admission: am not the least be interested in the novella. our pov is colored by the fact that we care not at all 'bout the novella or tim cain's recipes or enforcement o' chrisA promise to play through arcanum. nevertheless am gonna make an observation... take it for what it is worth. we got no idea what chrisA submitted for editing, but there is little motivation for obsidian to delay the release o' such a thing. no doubt some posters will posit ridiculous theories, but such conspiracy theories is more appropriate for other boards... or perhaps rt. that being said, obsidian, for obvious reasons, has not risen to numerous chrisA baiting attempts via interviews n' such since his departure from the developer in question. taking the high road can be tough and usually it involves keeping your gob shut. regardless, until obsidian has been given an option to say something encouraging or positive, we expect continued silence. eventually, if a satisfactory product is not forthcoming, obsidian will need address their failure to meet a kickstarter promise, but for now, silence don't surprise us. HA! Good Fun! 3 "If there be time to expose through discussion the falsehood and fallacies, to avert the evil by the processes of education, the remedy to be applied is more speech, not enforced silence."Justice Louis Brandeis, Concurring, Whitney v. California, 274 U.S. 357 (1927) "Im indifferent to almost any murder as long as it doesn't affect me or mine."--Gfted1 (September 30, 2019)
why Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 If it turned out that Mr. Avellone were being negligent or vindictive in delaying the fulfillment of his obligations, that would disappointing. Not because I'm personally invested. I'm new around here, but whatever happened you'd hope for better comportment. 1 bother?
eisnerguy1 Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 Weird that there still hasn't been an official response
Eisenheinrich Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 (edited) I guess, besides the short-stories, there won't be any novella by MCA. I doesn't make me sad, 'cause POE itself is like a novella, but some official response would be nice. Edited February 18, 2016 by Eisenheinrich
boffmoffet Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 I know its the silence on the matter that is under some folks skin, but I will say that the published short stories were really enjoyable. If your waiting on the novella but have not checked out the short stories, they are all worth the read. 4
sp3cw4r Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 Some official word on this would certainly be appreciated. I remember responding to another thread on this way way back, the day MCA tweeted about having submitted it to the editors. No word since then? Backers deserve an answer on whether it's coming or not.
