=============================================

What Chris Avellone thinks about it (original writer for PST)

=============================================

Why you should back it ? Because there is no such thing like too much isometric RPG.

=============================================

If you think "But they are already creating WASTELAND 2 ! Those scumbags"

If you are on NeoGAF for longer time you should already know how games are created. Creation of game is not process that involve writers from start to end same as 3D artist will be jobless in pre-production (design part of production).

Their motives are known and you can read it here.

In summary to keep their team intact they need second project to work on as pre-production. When Wasteland 2 will hit our PCs they will start full production of Torment.
You may not believe me as i am mare NeoGAF user but you can ask anyone working in industry that motives are clear and completely logical.

[dmr87]

Another day, another Kickstarter. $20 is a go.

 

[Deleted member 102362]

dammit Fargo.

 

[Acidote]

Pledged. I'm quite glad about how inXile is managing their Wasteland 2 kickstarter so they have my trust for now.

 

[Tworak]

naturally

 

[dionysus]

Backed at minimum level.

 

[Rawket Lawnchair]

I... Must... Resist...

 

[LiK]

I like the concept art

 

[water1111]

No Avellone No buy.

 

[Moobabe]

I... Must... Resist...

Who are you kidding?

 

[duckroll]

Gonna back at the minimum to show some support, and bump it up towards the end if I like what they have to show.

 

[Perkel]

No Avellone No buy.

Avellone says you must pledge. And i fully believe Avellone will take part in it (as stretch goal )

 

[Aaron]

No thanks. Finish your first kickstarter, and prove you can actually get it done. Will just buy the game when it's finally released (if it's any good).

 

[epmode]

I guess I'm in for the minimum. Which is strange because this is the concept I'm most interested in out of Eterninty and Wasteland 2 and I gave a lot more to those.

They really shouldn't have done this without Avellone as lead designer.

I like the concept art

InXile's concept guy is incredible.

 

[trab pu kcip]

Avellone says you must pledge. And i fully believe Avellone will take part in it (as stretch goal )

exactly.

I somehow doubt the second part though

 

[newdayrocks]

In for $40 for that Wasteland 2/Tides of Numenera bundle!

The original Planescape: Torment is still one of my favorite games ever, so I'm very excited about this.

 

[Sinatar]

So in the time it took me to watch the pitch video it went up 35K. Wow.

 

[Gassey]

Wow that went up fast. $100,000 with a snap of the fingers.

I'm thinking about that too since I didn't had the chance to back wasteland2. all this kickstarter stuff is making me poor

 

[duckroll]

So in the time it took me to watch the pitch video it went up 35K. Wow.

I didn't even watch the video. Lol.

 

[Rawket Lawnchair]

Who are you kidding?

I can, I still haven't seen any of the other games I've backed.

 

[dejan]

Wow, they already sailed past 100k.

 

[Perkel]

Wow that went up fast. $100,000 with a snap of the fingers.

They will meet their goal in less than 24h.
It's 13:00-15:00 in europe when people still are at work.

120 000 $ in 15 minutes.

 

[Lord Panda]

No thanks. Finish your first kickstarter, and prove you can actually get it done. Will just buy the game when it's finally released (if it's any good).

Fargo explains why he'd like two projects running side by side in the pitch video. There's a better explanation in his Wasteland 2 kickstarter update that just got posted. His reasons are perfectly reasonable.

 

[TheLucifer]

Goddamnit Fargo, I already want to pledge the Feep game and those C&H shorts, why now? I already had to hold myself last year with Shadowrun and Project Eternity, right now I can't afford another donation.

 

[Nibel]

Video is awesome - and they might reach their goal in just a few days or maybe even hours at this pace

 

[Durante]

Concept art is amazing. I need the map tier, though it's 118 USD for me and I didn't want to pledge over 100.

Whatever.

 

[LiK]

Backed, I should play the first game. Still sitting in my HDD. lol

 

[robin2]

InXile's concept guy is incredible.

Yeah. I wish the art was higher res . The two scenery pieces are so small

 

[Alexios]

No thanks. Finish your first kickstarter, and prove you can actually get it done. Will just buy the game when it's finally released (if it's any good).

Same, I'm already risking too much for the boxed copy of WL2 I kickstarted, even if the video made me feel confident about it.

I don't feel good about them doing another game before finishing that one either though, it could go bad.

I hope they won't outsource even more of it to Obsidian who also have their own project.

The name they chose kind of sucks. Numenera: Torment please.

 

[Durante]

I didn't even watch the video. Lol.

Yeah, it joins Dreamfall and Eternity as the third project I backed before reading anything or watching the video.

 

[dmr87]

I didn't even watch the video. Lol.

Watch it, gonna get you hyyypeed.

 

[FACE]

150k already? Fucking hell!

 

[Lord Panda]

That kid was a natural actor.

 

[duckroll]

Watch it, gonna get you hyyypeed.

Why the hell would I want to be hyped for something I won't see for like 2 years? Lol.

 

[Chairman Yang]

Instantly backed. Kickstarters have to do a lot more than they used to if they want to grab my attention, but this is a spiritual successor to my second-favourite game of all time.

 

[trab pu kcip]

Why the hell would I want to be hyped for something I won't see for like 2 years? Lol.

the thrill of anticipation.

 

[Llyranor]

Great concept art. The vid music was original stuff from Morgan, right? I like the story concept. Will need to read more about the world/setting. Will at least pledge at minimum level.

Only reason I'm hesitant is lack of Avellone. I'd throw away hundreds if he was in.

 

[LiK]

No thanks. Finish your first kickstarter, and prove you can actually get it done. Will just buy the game when it's finally released (if it's any good).

Are you a Wasteland 2 backer? They sent an email today explaining the Torment deal for your concerns specifically.

 

[Madrugador]

Nice. I'll back this when I get back home.

 

[Perkel]

That kid was a natural actor.

Yeah. Kid was amazing.

 

[JDSN]

Not for me, id rather let people beta test it first, the studio as a whole is hardly obsidian, Avellone is not involved and it might be too big of a project for McComb. It will probably be the biggest kickstarter tho.

 

[pmj]

Backed at $20 level. I wish I had more to spend on this.

 

[SerArthurDayne]

Is there any way to do two separate pledge tiers? I want to do the 250 and the 500 and decide later, since both are semi limited. Neither will likely sell out, but still. I know I can pledge more but I can only seem o pick one tier.

 

[Vlodril]

Goddamnit i am broke.. so i guess i hope i can find some money before this is done other wise i will get it when its out.

 

[kami_sama]

Just pledged 20$.

 

[Perkel]

If Torment: ToN is half as good as Planescape, I will die happy. I'm putting $10K of my own money to make it happen. http://kck.st/13F7hZm

I fully believe they will run out of 10k pledge by end of this day.

 

[water_wendi]

$95 ODDITY COLLECTOR - TRUE BELIEVER - PHYSICAL GOODS.. bought.

edit:

i didnt see any difference between this and the $110 tier.. did i miss something?

 

[FACE]

Soundtrack by Mark Morgan? BACKED!

I went for the $45 tier.
