Torment Torment: Tides of Numenera Pre-Release Thread [ALPHA RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Sprout]

Gotta count in people who are still undecided or too lazy to put in more cash already. There's still over 2 weeks to go, it'll probably become clearer in the last 2 days, as always.

Yep. Lazy, that's me. I know I'm going to pitch in some eventually, but for now I just can't be bothered. Considering that crowdfundings roll in more cash during the last few days than any other, I don't think I'm alone in that sentiment.

 

[Infinitron]

Thankfully in some interview it was said Fargo is planning to include all cut content as an expansion.

AND me! :D

It was in some interview. Few months ago? Would be difficult to find now.

I don't see them reaching the next stretch goal. It's a shame, because I liked what Ziets did on Mask of the Betrayer.

Actually, at the average rate money has been going in, it might be within reach with a good final push.

If you want to do the math yourself, fundraising began on the 17th at around 4.6 million.

You are right. It will reach the goal. They made a little more than $70k in 14 days. Donations will be more frequent in the last couple of days.

I personally won't go higher than I have pledged. I might have done it, but I don't think Wasteland 2 is masterpiece, so I feel that what I have donated for Torment is a very generous sum. (My Torment pledge is still higher than my Wasteland 2 pledge.)

I'm quite certain that inXile have never confirmed that they would do an expansion pack for any of their games, let alone that it would contain all cut content.

Hinted or publicly considered, maybe. But even that's more likely related to Wasteland 2 than Torment. Fargo doesn't actually interview about Torment very often.

I think this was actually said by some of the team members working on Obsidian's Pillars of Eternity for their game.

Who is Steve Dobos? What does he do?

 

[<3sRichardSimmons]

Steve's a programmer. I'm not sure of what his actual credit is on T:ToN, but I believe he's basically in charge of the tech side of the project.

 

[hemtae]

He posted three times in this thread until srdobos. Infinitron called him Torments lead programmer and he didn't correct him.

Heh, I wasn't actually sure about him either. The last photo which was made of him was much better.

 

[DosBuster]

They all look super, super high.

 

[Darth Roxor]

I'm seeing disturbing parallels between Ziets and the protag of Moebius in that group photo.

I mean seriously - the combination of the hair, the slim frame, the square posture as if he was hiding a coathanger under his shirt and partially the face is just uncanny.
