Torment: Tides of Numenera Kickstarter

http://kotaku.com/5989197/why-people...escape-torment

Quote:
Yesterday, a video game shattered yet another Kickstarter record: in its first 24 hours, Torment: Tides of Numenera raised $1.7 million, becoming the fastest Kickstarter to earn a million dollars.

Tides of Numenera is a spiritual successor to Planescape: Torment, a role-playing game that came out for the PC back in 1999, and it's received blessings from a chunk of the old Planescape team, including designer Chris Avellone. Maybe that's why it's made so much money.

Wow that was fast! I'm sure many people will be looking forward to this one.

It's a really annoying market for games. Many big companies are producing KIckstarter games, which takes most of the funding away from the little guys.

There should be some form of kickback or cross endorsing thing for the big guys.

The game engine looks amazing. I never actually played much of Torment, but it's been on my list to revisit. Glad these kinds of RPGs are making a comeback. They were always my favorite.
