I agree. With games that are successfully kickstarted, the developers are focusing on what they think people will find fun, not what some exec thinks will make money. Devs (generally) know games, execs often do not. Making a game for fun > Making a game for profit.

Opps misread what you said Alexandertnt...

Obsidian has released more information on its (nearly daily) updates; about the various classes, customization(!), and extended stretch goals.  Also they got their Paypal system open, and are going to add the total proceeds from both to figure out their stretch goal totals.

I'm excited.

A bunch of lore, too. Not quite as generic as I feared, so I'm not going to worry about the setting any longer. Looks to be shaping up well.

That's kind of a weird perspective, I have to wonder how that would look with characters in it...

You're sure that's an actual environment they intend to use and not just concept art?

[Viken]

They said it was an in-engine draft of an environment they are already working on.  The perspective is weird, because its not the top-down view we're going to be using.  Its rendered, but its not game-worthy yet.

Still, for them being less than a month into developement since they got confirmation, that's pretty darn good.

They're doing a livestream for the last 90 minutes of kickaster. They've also added a 4 million stretch goal.

At this point, I think they've already set the record for funds gathered via kickstarter.

When this was first announced I was a little wary because of complete lack of information about the game. Had a look last night to see how it was doing and couldn't give them my money fast enough. Their little info thing about non-combat skills and the whole stronghold deal are especially awesome.

I will not be a fair or just lord, high above the peasants in my stronghold of evil. But I will do my best to subjugate them using only non-combat skills.

[Drakale]

I don't put any money on games without a working prototype, but I'm cautiously optimistic on this. Definitely will buy the final version if they deliver.

I want to donate, but I've backed probably 5 to 6 game Kickstarters by now, and 2013/2014, I'm going to be inundated by releases I've already paid for. I'll probably be kicking myself when it's a $60 title, but ah well. It's a new IP and that most of my love is based on Torment because of the setting.

[Viken]

Can it reach 4 million in less than an hour?! Can people donate another 100K to make it happen?! Will aliens descend from the heavens?! Only time will tell! Haha.

Still, it looks awesome, and I hope it makes it.  I have no monies.  So I cannot donate.

[GlyphGryph]

I noticed they were doing a Linux version, so I dropped $65 in the pot.

Edit:
So close, and yet so far! I don't think we'll make it to 4mil though.

So close, and yet so far! I don't think we'll make it to 4mil though.

Lets all peer pressure Viken, Drakale, and Nenjin into donating!

[scriver]

No need, they've already made it. PayPal also counts to stretch goals and there's at least another 100 k in there.
