The kickstarter for the sequel of Planescape: Torment is up!
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/inxile/torment-tides-of-numenera

[Graven]

This is good news, but bear in mind : it's not actually set in the Planescape setting.

[Meta]

Already backed. Now to wait for the release...

[Naryar]

I'm not sure if it will be just as good as torment.

References to the original game and original, very deeply thought plot isn't everything. It should also break just as many stereotypes it can along the way, have an original character development system, have compelling NPC's and be both dark and hilariously funny. Sometimes at the same time.

also awesome animations for the end level spells, as well as a spell list that isn't completely ripped off from the D&D 3.5 wizard/cleric list.

[Moghjubar]

Backed... this is the second thing I've ever backed, with the first being Star Citizen. 

I'm hoping for the best.

I got this feeling this will not only do well, but will even do better than Wasteland 2.

I think a lot of people have regretted not backing wasteland 2 after they saw that its heading in a good way.

Fookin' hell, I swore I wasn't gonna back anything else on KS until a few projects successfully finished.  Turns out my word is worthless.

[Graven]

Well the kickstarter keeps going up about 2k dollars for every Zero Punctuation video I watch, so it's safe to assume it's going to get several times the desired amount by the end. The question is, will it be worth it? This is a question that has me a bit worried about all these high-profile kickstarters [well, not really, since I haven't actually pledged to anything] - it's great for smaller projects which might not have gotten funding otherwise [The Banner Saga <3], but how far can high-publicity and pet-projects go with it?

Eh, at least we'll get another single-player story-focused RPG out of it, I'm fine with it almost no matter how it turns out just to keep the genre going.

Interesting that this game is forgoing with the "pretending this game has a point" and just tells you that there is no point to the game and that life sucks and that there is no point in doing anything anyway.

ART!

I'd be joking if I didn't know I was right.

[Moghjubar]

Well, its funded in 6 hours, and now its also up to 1 million, and still going.

And there aren't even any stretch goals yet.

Yep.

[Drakale]

I suggest they rename it to Torment: Tides of Money

[Graven]

Well PS:T is the definition of "cult classic" and I'm guessing there exist a ton of people who've listened about it but have never tried it themselves; this is a convenient chance to catch up to some gaming history AND contribute to a "dream project" of sorts.

[Neonivek]

I kinda wonder what the stretch goals will be like.

I cannot even guess. Maybe more variations on how you can build your character?

The nature of the observed often changes depending on the observer.

I'm expecting extra companion characters, some degree of collaboration with Obsidian/Chris Avellone and maybe a slight expansion of the soundtrack.

Torment? Holy shit! If the game is half as awesome as the good ol' Planescape: Torment, it's good enough for me.
