Project Louisiana? (not Fallout-related)

[ManifestedISO]

It means he was traveling east from California to Austin, Texas for nerd fest SXSW last week.

 

I've always wanted to visit COTA in Austin ... Circuit of the Americas racetrack, U.S. home of F1 and MotoGP.

Then Sawyer is in Revua in the Vailian Republics at this moment. Nice information.

 

I hope to travel to the Vailian Republics too in PoE 2

You're probably joking, but he's had that location since at least March 5th.

PoE2? Meh.

 

I'm surprised they didn't crowdsource it though.

Nothing is stopping them from getting more capital by crowdfunding it later on

[Elerond]

Maybe this time they want prepare before they launch their KS, so that they don't need to improvise things out of thin air like last time

[rjshae]

Do you really think they'll run out of states any time soon?

[Gfted1]

That would be a good problem to have.

[Lychnidos]

Whats the state order they are going with?

[Zoraptor]

This one, presumably, since that's the official order. I can't remember which game has which codename though.

This is taken from an old list that was, I believe, taken from a Reddit Q&A.  I've added a bit to it.

1. Project Delaware - KOTOR 2
2. Project Pennsylvania - Neverwinter Nights 2
3. Project New Jersey - Dwarfs (cancelled)
4. Project Georgia - Alpha Protocol
5. Project Connecticut - Aliens: The Crucible (cancelled)
6. Project Massachusetts - NWN2: Mask of the Betrayer
7. Project Maryland - Dungeon Siege III
8. Project South Carolina - NWN2: Storms of Zehir
9. Project New Hampshire - Fallout: New Vegas
10. Project Virginia - Unannounced Xbox Live Game (shelved)
11. Project New York - South Park
12. Project North Carolina - Stormlands (cancelled)
13. Project Rhode Island - Unannounced title (shelved)
14. Project Vermont - Unannounced RPG in development
15. Project Kentucky - Prey 2 (cancelled)
16. Project Tennessee - Pathfinder Card Game for Mobile
17. Project Ohio - Armored Warfare
18. Project Louisiana - ?
19. Project Indiana - ?

I think Vermont is Tyranny and I think PoE wasn't given a state project title.   Since I *believe* we knew that Obsidian had three unannounced games, that would make Vermont (Tyranny), Louisiana and Indiana, perhaps?

Pillars of Eternity is Project Trenton. Yes, they use state capital names sometimes too.

 

I'm not aware of any third unannounced project or Project Indiana.

Yes! Trenton.  I knew it was a city, but couldn't remember which one.

 

I don't know if I'm remembering correctly about a third project.  I seem to recall at one point there were three projects - Revived Stormlands (Tyranny?) which I pegged as Vermont & Louisiana we know.  That would leave the third as either Indiana or maybe the shelved Rhode Island?  To be honest I can't remember when I read about the "three projects" thing.

 

I suck at this Obsidian stalker business.

This is what I posted about in another thread in this forum. There is plenty of evidence in online comments that there is a Project Indiana, and that there are three new projects in the works. That is why my projection is that Indiana is PoE2, not Louisiana.

 

1. Vermont - Tyranny

 

2. Louisiana - Unannounced Kickstarter project that was hinted at last year but postponed because Obsidian didn't want to launch a new Kickstarter before the previous Kickstarter project (PoE) was fully completed.

 

3. Indiana - PoE 2

Did you look on Josh Sawyer's Instagram? He's working on Project Louisiana according to what he posted there and I really doubt it wouldn't be PoE2.

[Apatia]

My all-knowing magical 8-ball said that Tyranny was supposed to be the unannounced KS project but then Paradox came along and said "hey, POE seems to be coming along nicely, how about we deepen our partnership. What if we fund your next similar project so you don't have to use Kickstarter for it?" and that is why there never was that rumored KS project.

The magical 8-ball also said that while it cannot be 100% sure, in light of these recent findings there is a good possibility that the Louisiana is POE2 or something else related to the setting.

For project Indiana however it said that the reply is hazy and that I should ask again later.

If someone didn't get it from this post, all of this is pure speculation and I do not have any insider info about any of this, just my gut feeling and the magical 8-ball.

[Marceror]

Magic 8-ball does not lie.

I know for a fact that unannounced KS game from 2014 wasn't Tyranny. I don't know what it was, but it wasn't Tyranny.

If they're using state capital names for crowdfunded projects the unannounced kickstarter wouldn't be either Louisiana or Indiana but a state capital name post New Jersey's Trenton. That would make the unknown KS project something like Annapolis/ Hartford/ Atlanta/..

 

There's only one project known to have a state capital name though, and what the practical difference is between a project with a capital and a state name isn't known. Could be crowdfunded games get a capital name, could be smaller scale games of any type, could be just to asterisk with people who like making lists based on state names.

He can surely be working on two projects. Furthermore, it was Sawyer himself who said very recently that PoE2 will not be happening any time soon. So my take is that they have had discussions about PoE2 but not really started development work on it. Project Louisiana is what Sawyer's group is working on, but it is not PoE2.

He said it was a "ways off". Then we learned about Tyranny, so it makes sense that they'd wait a while before revealing it so as not to hog the spotlight. There's no reason not to start on the sequel right away - Larian went right onto a sequel after finishing up Divinity: Original Sin. It will be quite some time until it's actually released.

Well actually in that interview with MMORPG he specifically said it was time for him to move on to something different, but then added a sequel to PoE would happen at some point but that was a way off. That's the complete context of his answer to that question.

 

Also keep in mind that it's not just PoE that's come to an end but also AW and the Pathfinder card game. They are large enough of a studio that they can and need to have multiple projects going on at the same time. So it makes sense that they could have three projects ongoing at the same time - Vermont/Tyranny, Louisiana, and Indiana - with the chronologically last one of them, Indiana, being PoE2. So I stand by my projection that we will see another RPG of some sort between Tyranny and PoE2.
