Support NeoGAF

[water_wendi]

That's a very bold fund raising goal.

i havent read the thread yet but 1.1m doesnt seem very bold to me. Feargus has always said (since before Obsidians first game) it would take about a million to do something like this.

 

[Forever]

Absolutely. I'm going to hit up Suzie Cakes tomorrow.

What do we want the cake to say? "We believe?" Suggestions?

Get the GAF logo put on it in icing.

 

[whalleywhat]

never played drakenguard but if you badtalk nier in this thread I WILL END YOU

This is a happy place.

 

[Corto]

I pledged $280, and I want to thank Namco Bandai for making that possible.

HOHOHOHOHO Ok you almost made me wake up my son with that. I had to muffle a burst of laughter.

 

[Wanny]

I pledged $280, and I want to thank Namco Bandai for making that possible.

Haha nice one

 

[derFeef]

Holy shit this is taking off....

You Awesome.

 

[Trigger]

The cake thing is real? Wat?

I pledged $280, and I want to thank Namco Bandai for making that possible.

You got a giggle out of me.

 

[SerArthurDayne]

600k, huh? Not too bad at all.

I really want this to actually happen. Hopefully whatever total they end up with is enough for it to actually be made and be quality. As Billie pointed out, and in my opinion, the writing is the most important thing, and I am almost sure that will be there, regardless of the polish level of the game.

But I really want a great game, too.

 

[Zeliard]

The cake thing is real? Wat?

It's morphing into reality through the power of collective belief.

Reminds me of something.

 

[WanderingWind]

Get the GAF logo put on it in icing.

Oh for sure.

 

[Syraxith]

So I read the gamebanshee Feargus interview.

I salute you sir.

*salutes*

 

[Trojita]

awwww yeah

 

[Forever]

Oh for sure.

And then "We Believe in Eternity".

 

[Nameless One]

It's morphing into reality through the power of collective belief.

Reminds me of something.

That it does...That it does....

 

[jchap]

I'll pledge 5 when its in the bargain bin of steam

Having their own internal engine they can use it going to help a lot with the funding requirements of the game. Not just because they don't have to license one, but because everyone at the studio will already be deeply familiar with the toolset. Which will really help streamline the content generation.

 

[Delusibeta]

So, they're at $605k, Evilore's thrown three grand at them and there's talk of an informal GAF meet-up at Obsidian's offices with cake. Enough internet for the night, methinks.

I pledged $280, and I want to thank Namco Bandai for making that possible.

You So Best.

Okay it is driving me crazy now. What's the joke here I am missing?

Nice name. Well, non-name.

Donations from Durante fixing up Dark Souls.

 

[Wanny]

Meh the guy just fixed Dark Souls and got donations for it.

Annnnnnd

Improved the game more than everyone would have thought!

 

[ZoddGutts]

Hopefully one of the stretch goals is to license Unreal Engine 3.

 

[water_wendi]

Reading the Gamebanshee interview i have a feeling about this game. Like this quote right here..

Buck: Let's talk mechanics. While the game is certainly far from completion, what are your goals for the character creation and advancement system? Will progression be a standard affair with attributes and skills/perks/feats, or will you be treading into unknown territory? Finally, will there be a major focus on the non-combat abilities that are often overlooked in modern RPGs?

Feargus: Yes, yes and yes – we are still rolling up the system, but our goals are very much along the lines of creating a robust and multi-faceted RPG system.

This right here is what i want to read.

 

[Emitan]

Why the hell would anyone want that?

Okay thanks for clearing that up guys.

 

[NichM]

Oh for sure.

Should I bring a couple cases of soda?

 

[Delusibeta]

Literally no reason to considering they've got their own engine which by all accounts is very stable. Before you say "less bugs": Alpha Protocol was Unreal Engine 3; didn't help.

 

[EndcatOmega]

Obsidian, you didn't even have to give him a project name. Pledged.

Has Tim Cain really not worked on a fantasy RPG before? I thought he was involved in Arcanum.

 

[Palette Swap]

Any chance this will be the fastest growing Kickstarter?

I pledged $280, and I want to thank Namco Bandai for making that possible.

This is such a perfect karmic circle. Well done.

 

[WanderingWind]

And then "We Believe in Eternity".

That's what I was leaning toward. Think this will do it, personally.

 

[water_wendi]

He says "pure fantasy."

 

[WanderingWind]

Dunkin Donuts coffee in a box. Pairs well with cake

 

[Madrugador]

You guys know Madrugador actually means early bird in spanish?

Spoiler

It sounds way cooler in spanish

Just backed the game with $20.

 

[EndcatOmega]

Fair enough. Still surprising for a man who's been in the industry for so long.

 

[NichM]

Where do you even get Dunkin Donuts around here? The nearest one I see on Google Maps is out in Camp Pendleton.

 

[WanderingWind]

Ah, shit. Well, there is the donut place near Zamora's. They might do the same. There is also one off of Red Hill that may be able to do it.

 

[Emitan]

If I lived in CA I would join you dudes. Real talk.

 

[zkylon]

lol I thought the same thing just a few minutes ago

 

[hemtae]

So apparently Obsidian backed something called City of Iron.

 

[Riposte]

What I don't get is why is Obsidian making a pure fantasy game, completely unshackled. Seems like the type of game they don't want to make.

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

They should make the first stretch goal "hire people to perform QA on the game". Maybe if they build a strong testing team now, future obsidian games will be playtested, too!

 

[WanderingWind]

If I lived in CA I would join you dudes. Real talk.

That's okay. You'll be there in spirit.

 

[Llyranor]

Hmm, I'm torn btw 500 and 1000 ;_;

 

[Emitan]

That's okay. You'll be there in spirit.

You can put my face on the cake.

 

[Gala]

Hmm, I'm torn btw 500 and 1000 ;_;

1000 sounds better than 500!

 

[SerArthurDayne]

Hmm, I'm torn btw 500 and 1000 ;_;

It's going to be funded either way, so I guess that depends on how much 500 means to you. But you could be immortalized as an NPC!

Just hope you don't Miss your NPC or item when you play through.

I'm gonna find every GAFer's NPC.

and murder them

:3

 

[Llyranor]

I am pretty tempted to make myself an NPC. It would have to be an easily killable low-level NPC thug.

 

[Instro]

I want the map but $140 is a bit too much for me. I wish that was the $100 tier.

 

[SerArthurDayne]

Awesome. I would love some quirky fan created NPCs that are useless or wimpy or the like, not all retired super heroes and the like.
