Water is not wet!
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.

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.

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

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

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

Reading the Gamebanshee interview i have a feeling about this game. Like this quote right here..
This right here is what i want to read.
Why the hell would anyone want that?

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.

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.

Any chance this will be the fastest growing Kickstarter?
This is such a perfect karmic circle. Well done.

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

Fair enough. Still surprising for a man who's been in the industry for so long.
Where do you even get Dunkin Donuts around here? The nearest one I see on Google Maps is out in Camp Pendleton.

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.
lol I thought the same thing just a few minutes ago

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!

That's okay. You'll be there in spirit.
You can put my face on the cake.
1000 sounds better than 500!

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.

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.
