And I’m not in the least bit surprised
InXile’s newest roleplaying game and spiritual successor toPlanescape: Torment, Torment: Tides of Numenera,has been seeking funding onKickstarterfor well under a day. After three hours, it had already secured half of its $900,000 goal. It’s now fully backed.
Sitting pretty at $935,000 at the time of writing this (and likely a whole lot more when you start reading), I think anyone wondering if people really care aboutPlanescape: Tormentany more have their answer. I suspect that the project won’t struggle to reach its stretch goals either, meaning that the extra writers and art that inXile mentioned desiring will become a reality.
I spoke with Kevin Saunders and Colin McComb from inXile a day ago about the project and their experiences with Kickstarter,so keep an eye out for that later today. They were cautiously optimistic about the potential success of their latest crowd-funding attempt, and now they’re probably feeling pretty damn good.
So, who has backed this thing already?
