I hadn't seen that one before, it really is great. I love the "real-time" writing.

Torment: Tides of Numenera Kickstarter by InXile [Complete; $4.3 million funded]
- Thread starter Perkel
- Start date
Even Knights of the Chalice?
Is anyone else having trouble playing the embedded Youtube video on page 2 of this interview? I've been running into trouble like this over the last few days. And it only happens in Chrome.
edit: It was some addon. Figures I'd figure it out as soon as I post about it.

New screenshot is amazing.
Can we get physical comics, please? Paying that much for digital comics feels dirty, especially when I get such a nice collector's box. The third comic is not an add-on exclusive, right?
Also still want a digital copy of the Numenera corebook to go along with my physical one, but at this point that seems unlikely.
Excited to see how high this goes. Not excited to see the dent in my credit card statement.

I will admit, there's a hell of a lot of for god's sake, don't fuck this up! running through my mind.

oof this hurts me
quote from the article
So, if you sell another 200,000 copies of Wasteland 2 or Torment: Tribes of Numenera – these would be good numbers for you?

These guys are the best thing to have happened to PC gaming in the last 10 years. They will own my soul with wasteland 2 and this.
Really is painful hearing about how hard it was to get investors interested in Wasteland 2. I wonder if this complete ambivalence is a huge reason the industry's the way it is right now, that there IS a market for these games, but they're getting so underserved as they're not THE big market that it's actively eroding everything else as everyone who isn't into the Big Thing loses interest and thus there's no expanding.
Though I AM curious to see how well Wasteland 2 ultimately does. I have to admit this interested me way more so I'm either sticking with my pledge or bumping it up, but Wasteland 2 I got cold feet on and decided I'd just buy it at release once it's shown just how good it is.

$5m stretch goal suggestion: Every character in game is unique and has unique dialogue.
As long as these games have good writing, a lot of explorable areas and interesting quests that dont insult people's intelligence i think they will succeed at what they need to do. Of course i also expect some backlash cause these things arent GOTY or whatever other unbelievable expectations people might have.

I think they've met the 3.6m stretch goal.

OK, I've been holding off on pledging. I want a collector's edition boxed copy. SO I will be getting that, but if I'm reading right does that mean that I DON'T get access to the really cool digital stuff like the torment retrospective? It's not even available as a digital add on. This really seems to stuck as it would cost them NOTHING to add this on to someone who is planning to give them $135 for a game that will hopefully have some of the same spark as torment. They really seem to be nickel and diming on this kickstarter.
Maybe Brother None can get an answer to you soon.
oh nevermind Ed Norton already answered.
Look at the charts midway down to get an accurate list of what is included in the tiers. The listings on the side are out of date and a lot has been added.
I haven't. The historical figures concept is cool. How's the story?
3.75 looks within reach. 4M is looking more and more unlikely
Last day bump my man, 4m looks within reach, 4.5 is unlikely.

How is this one? I have heard mixed things...

The Torment retrospective comes with every tier.
Wish they were clearer with that then. Because it's mentioned in the digital section and never once in the physical stuff, is there a spot where they added it for all tiers? I also wish beta access was not only in the $250 and above physical tiers, but what are you gonna do?
But listening to the video with the Mark Morgan score and the amazing concept art makes me happy. Will bite.
Also, is the Numinera corebook out already?
?
beta access is in the $75 and over tiers. Alpha access is in the $130 and over tiers.
Not physical goods tiers. Needs to be added for $20 until the $250 tier
I only had the opportunity to play the first portion of the game back in the day at my cousin's house, but I found the aesthetics and characters to be quite enjoyable. My cousin actually finished the game and said the first part was strong but the game has a weak second act as if they rushed to release the game before it was ready. I just messaged my cousin who said the game was worth the time put into it. Cousin also mentioned that the second act was more similar to Diablo than P:T and BG2.
I own the game, but it's in my backlog queue. I'm going to get to it as soon as I finish Crusader: No Regret.
Actually, they're not RPGs, but the Crusader games are something you might want to look into.

We can't edit tiers once the Kickstarter's started, not even to add rewards.
Best place to check what exactly is in a tier is http://tormentrpg.tumblr.com/thekstiers
Similar page for addons here: http://tormentrpg.tumblr.com/theksaddons listing per addon where it's already included (assuming I didn't make any mistakes, in which case point out)
I think that is a general complaint about Lionheart. Very good, or good first part, very grindy/action RPG like second part.
I tried out one of the Crusader games awhile ago, but the controls were awful. Is there a fix for that -- to make the controls more modern or something?
What makes you say this? Do you think these Kickstarter games will be mediocre, or, for example, won't have a chance at becoming GOTY?
That's exactly how it is for me. I don't expect them to be groundbreaking masterpieces that revolutionized the medium. Everything extra than good writing, exploration, and non-insulting quests are just cherries on top.

Yesterday we got $149k in 24 hours, which averages out to $6.2k per hour.
With 39 hours left, if we manage yesterday's hourly average and no more, we'll get $242k - bringing up the total funded amount to $3,820,391+$57k paypal= $3,887,391.
The 4 million tier is attainable if we get an hourly average of at least $9095 for the remaining 39 hours. I think that's what PE hit the last day or two, so it certainly is possible we'll hit the 4 million tier.

$4m is all I care about.
Everything above it just sounds like padding and feature creep.
$5.2m: We send Brian Fargo to RPG school
I thought paypal was at $80k?
