Torment Torment: Tides of Numenera Beta Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Roguey]

From George Ziets' description of the game's storyline at the BT4 party, it doesn't sound like Sagus is half the game, though it might be close.

The BT4 party was before they brought in Keenan to be this game's Guido Henkel.

Who is Keenan again?

Who is Keenan again?

The Closer. Wasteland 2's lead, now replacing ksaun so he can make the the unpopular, tough decisions to satisfy Fargo's desire to ship Torment by the end of next year come hell or high water.

They might have also sacrificed ksaun's salary in order to be able to afford the game's full development time. I think it was always going to come out next year, question is when.

[Roguey]

Four to nine months after initial beta release, based on previous numbers (Wasteland 2 spent 5 months in "beta" and an additional 4 in beta, Pillars took 7 months).

Hows the codex going to handle the Beta thing? I don't want to be spoiled half the game by idiots sperging in the BETA thread but I'd like to stay fairly in touch (and the frontpage posts are too sparse).

What, do you think is a restaurant where you are asked if you want your spoilers well-done or rare? If you want to avoid spoilers, stay as far away from any Torment discussion as you can.

So a couple of days ago I asked on the official inXile forums if Brian Mitsoda actually wrote anything for the game (as was promised in the Kickstarter) since afair he was never mentioned in any update.
Until now there are zero responses to this thread. Which makes this whole thing a bit odd.
Or have I just missed something and the Codex knows more about his actual involvement?

Your mistake was asking on the inXile forums instead of CMcC Adam Heine ksaun Brother None

 

[Irenaeus II]

Twitter is the best way to reaching celebrities directly. Just try not to be banned.

 

[Bester]

Why are they letting their writers script anything? You'd think this is a bad idea, asking somebody from arts and humanities to do something that requires rigid thinking.

 

[Fry]

Heine is the design lead as well as a writer, isn't he?

Small studio and a relatively small budget. People multitask.

 

[Infinitron]

Adam Heine was also a scripter for Planescape: Torment.

 

[Bester]

Adam is clearly having problems with it.

 

[Irenaeus II]

He's next on the axe line.

 

[Bester]

He's next on the axe line.

You wish. I wish. But they won't ever fire him, cause he's a loser with a trailer full of thai children.

 

[Irenaeus II]

Of course he is. Who do you think write his lines?

 

[Fry]

Even by Codex standards, that's some try hard trolling there.

 

[Irenaeus II]

You are a piece of humourless sack.

 

[Bester]

Even by Codex standards, that's some try hard trolling there.

And why exactly is that?

He got rejected by 140 agencies for some stupid novella alone, that should tell you everything you need to know about the man as a writer. He's only on the project because of some bleeding heart, cause he can't write for shit. Also, he's the ultimate cuck for adopting a dozen kids from other daddies - that should tell you about his loser personality. You should also read his blog to get an idea of his self-pitying pathetic attitude. On top of that, he's a SJW retard. His torment novellas are utter boring shit, too, if you want constructive critique. Torment would be better off without his cuckold involvement.

Still not constructive, but at least this bit is relevant.

 

[Infinitron]

Somebody's off his meds.

 

[Starwars]

Somebody was never on them.

 

[<3sRichardSimmons]

Don't worry Bester, we all know you're a shitty enough person to cosmically counteract Adam's selfless and genuine acts of kindness!

 

[IHaveHugeNick]

Somebody's off his meds.

Yeah. He was hiding the meds in his anus, then one day hid in the broom closet and sneak up on the computer while the nurses weren't watching.
