Obsidian Entertainment - Project Eternity Kickstarter Launched

Im just a poor student, but I still hurled in $25 and will have a glass of Captain Morgan's Spiced Gold Rum once we reach 1.100.000 which is about 10-15 minutes away tops.

And they've crossed the "finish" line… now time for some juicy stretch goals.

haha funded in 1 day

I don't even need stretch goals, tbh. Deliver it in April '14 with all that they promised in the mission statement, and I'll be happy as a clam! Grats on hitting the goal, I bet they clock in around 5 mil.

For teh win!

Wow. Funded in under 24 hours. That was impressive.

…

… that image is freakin' hypnotic…

True.
Also keep in mind that porn industry would never shoot a sci fi movie - it's dead for them as it doesn't bring back enough cash.

Kostaz: no i'm not the creator, unfortunately

I seriously doubt the 1.5 years they're shooting for is going to be enough to make a wholesome experience with the amount of depth they're talking about, and especially not when Obsidian is at the helm. They're not exactly known for delivering finished/solid products on a deadline.

I wonder how they will finance any potential delay?

Other than that, this sounds pretty great.

They seem to have worked on it for a while i guess since they have the map and some other artwork.

"[…]taking him or her not just through this story, but, with your continued support, through future adventures".

Might be a rather short game, but with future expansions. But yes, i've never really trusted the deadlines for those bigger titles, including Wasteland and Shadowrun.

1,5 years is rather tight.
But I suspect that they have spent quite some time doing groundwork before launching it on kickstarter.

Some lines hint at that anyway.

Now, if they could just get AP2 going I´ll be as happy as a pig in mud.

Well, we will have to wait and see - but it's certainly one of the most interesting kickstarters I've heard about.

I love what they're saying about wanting to deliberately stay away from consoles - because of the inherent weaknesses in the hardware/controller. Also, they seem to really want to deal with mature subjects - which is just the kind of thing I love to hear
