I didn't even see it until you pointed it out... looks like it's moving kind of quick.

After skimming through the Vision document, my guess is that it is a Stichus. It looks like it has a big claw on its left arm.

 

[Shake Appeal]

I think I'll leave the vision document alone. I knew enough about this game to pay for it about thirty seconds into the kickstarter video, and there'll be so many updates over the coming years that I don't want to reveal too much too soon.

Lol at the Tony Evans video:

"I've learned a lot about the right way to make RPGS *shows MoTB* and a lot about the wrong way to make RPGs *redacted*"

[Labadal]

It's going up at a steady rate now. I think $4 mil is achieveable.

 

[Zeliard]

Have you guys read the original Torment's vision document? It's remarkable how close the final product came to it.

It's a fun read.

I'm having a tough time not putting up $125 on the collector's box. I'm already in the $20 tier; dropping $105 more on a box I'll likely never open isn't a good idea. Plus, there's likely to be updates to the game down the line, and then the discs are no longer the definitive version.

But it looks so pretty- like the cover of a math book!

[Casimir]

If it gives me my precious stretch goal, I'm willing to abuse it Ò_Ó. Promise cute kittens, pirate-zombies and monkeys, as long as it brings in backers! x)

Haha, I understand. Joking aside, please remember that sometimes Dev's actually do read and take suggestions from this and other forums.

I'm at the $80 tier but I'm looking at the $1000 tier... Fuuuuu...

"IT'S A GAME, NOT A THIRST SIMULATOR"
how ironic, coming from the creators of Fallout: New Vegas

 

[Acosta]

I'm seriously considering the 270 plus, but I think I will go got the CE, I don't feel good spending the money I would spend in a console just for a game.

The second screenshot is magnificent.

Playing hardcore New Vegas was actually fun. My first playthrough was non-hardcore because hardcore didn't sound like something I would enjoy. Now it is the only way I play New Vegas.

 

[Velinos]

I'm at $326. $250 tier + $25 t-shirt + $25 poster + $14 digital comic pack + $12 Torment sourcebook.

I keep watching for $500 tiers to open. I still want that large cloth map, but my wife will kill me if I donate that much.

 

[Miletius]

I do want it to hit 4M. Anything on top of that is gravy. I only pledged $ 95 but I don't see myself going anywhere more than that right now. Maybe I'll purchase some stuff from a backer store later on down the line.

 

[Darklord]

Obsidian tech? Dammit, I didn't pay for a technically broken game. Keep your poor performance and bugs please.

man, Obsidian jokes is so last week

 

[Labadal]

$3.5 million reached on kickstarter. Add paypal and we're not far from the $3.75 mil. stretch goal. It WILL reach $4 mil.

 

[duckroll]

Yeah this looks pretty great.

Heh. That one is public because Chris Avellone gave it to me as part of a Torment interview in two parts I did with him and Colin, years ago: http://www.rpgwatch.com/show/articles?ref=0&id=208

And now I'll be working with both those gents. Funny how those things go.

Good interview. Hope you will go all crazy in that project.

 

[AstroLad]

I don't think it's too much of a stretch to say that a hugely important part of gaming's future depends on inxile & co. right now, between this and wasteland.

I have faith...go inxile.

 

[Mister_Bubbles]

New screen looks very nice, no room for doubt there. Roll on 4 million!

 

[Durante]

The screenshot looks great overall, but some of the elements don't really mesh will with each other. But it's still very early and I'm sure that can be improved.

Obsidian tech? Dammit, I didn't pay for a technically broken game. Keep your poor performance and bugs please.

The only game based on "Obsidian tech" that has been released is Dungeon Siege 3, and that's basically bug-free.

Ah yeah so that was you. I've read the interview; it's a good one.

Spoiler

Tell them about the crates.

I want more of them. Add some more barrels just to be sure.

It is their own engine. So far only one game was on their engine Dungeon Siege 3 and it was literally bugfree game.

They are using Unity for Project Eternity. (This is not a complaint.)

 

[indigo-cyclops]

Damn I upped my pledge again, base 39, but wanted Alpha/Beta access and the source book. Should be all set though. That recent environment screen they posted is fucking gorgeous.

 

[Dennis]

omg jizzm

 

[TrutaS]

That screenshot looks marvelous and gamey. If I had more money (and lived in the US) I would surely buy something more physical for this.

 

[~Kinggi~]

 

[superdeluxe]

Wow screen shot!

 

[Llyranor]

Love the new screenshot. Added 14$ for the comic book compilation, since MCA is writing one <3 <3

 

[~Kinggi~]

Yeah that new screen is definitely nice. As long as they stick with both styles. You can tell the 2nd screen is more a drawn 2d style while the first put more emphasis on 3d with 2d painted over. Im happy as long as they find a happy middle-ground. Maybe 3d for the more organic looking stuff and the 2d for architectural.

 

[AstroZombie]

 

[Zeliard]

I've been going through recent Tales of Torment vids that I haven't seen. They're all pretty great but the Nathan Long one is just wonderful:

END TIMES IS NEAR

 

[slabrock]

Already at the $80 digital tier. Might kick in another 10 for alpha access. Poster would be nice too but don't know the size of it or what it will look like.

 

[Brother None]

Spoiler

They are actually interdimensional travelers in disguise. And person foolish enough to try to search them for loot will get eaten.

You guys should start bugging RPS and PCGamer because you've released that amazing screenshot and they haven't posted an article about it!

never stopped a true hoarder. Might miss a few silver coins or a rusty nail, can't take any chances

Yep. Yep.

Well now I'll be disappointed if that's not what it is

 

[Instro]

Dat new screen, very nice.

 

[~Kinggi~]

EviLore approves, great success!

 

[Sober]

Was going to just settle for the 75$ digital tier but being able to request physical goods with a high digital tier makes me interested in getting a poster now.
