Obsidian General Discussion Thread

[vonAchdorf]

With Pillars it seems they were probably a lot more budget conscious than with a "standard" publisher gig. Half of their documentary is about how they found ways / made tools / workflows to save money.

 

[Anthony Davis]

If I remember correctly, the development budget for DS3 was between 7.5 and 9 mil.

People believe Sawyer can make a Fallout game "alone", in 5 years :D

"Alone" is obviously meant as a joke, but Sawyer plus a couple of programmers and 3-4 artists could make a better Fallout than Bethesda has ever managed.

Woah, don't set the bar too high or anything.

 

[Alienman]

The stat system will be convoluted to all hell, but it will probably be better.

That clutch last second kill.

Do you have clips and details. He sort of slipped out to DICE and didn't tell hardly anyone at Obsidian about this.

I guess Feargus wanted to keep his Quake skills one the down low.

How long have we known that the Tim Caine game is known internally as Project Indiana anyway? Probably the biggest thing that's happening under the hood atm, didn't know it was getting the Instagram tease from Obsidian.

What Instragram teases? Anthony Davis mentioned that the project is called Project Indiana some pages ago on this thread.

Haha he referenced this while talking about Diablo 3: http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/inde...was-going-to-have-branching-storylines.90159/

 

[Quillon]

Damn, needed more Q&A time.

 

[Infinitron]

I wonder if Leonard's unfulfilled plans for implementing narrative choice in Diablo 3 will find their way into Project Indiana.
