[datalink7]

$3.25 million achieved. Patrick Rothfuss is now on board.

 

[Maleficus]

Where do I go to pledge to have pat rothfuss removed so he can work on the damn book?

Haha. The thing is, he wasn't even working on his book anyway. He recently posted that he was writing some other short story or something

 

[datalink7]

New goals posted up to $4.5 million. Doesn't look like it's going to make it though. It is already off the mark compared to Project Eternity, which started a huge upswing at 5 days or so out. Only 3 days left on this one.

I wouldn't be so sure. Kicktraq shows an increase in donations (the "trending toward" figure has gone up 100,000 in the last few hours). I think we're seeing the start of the final surge. They might very make an extra million in the last 2 days.

Even if they don't, I still expect this to be kick ass.

 

[DaveSimmons]

We should at least make the 3.5m Chris Avellone goal. The 3.75m companion quests goal will hopefully happen too.

I was just looking at this (the next closest project IMO):

http://www.kicktraq.com/projects/obsidian/project-eternity/#chart-daily

Starting at 6 days out, Project Eternity was getting over 100k/day and then 600k on the last day.

It seems Torment is starting to pick it up a bit but it isn't the same surge the Project Eternity got. Then again, Torment started out stronger.

I expect to get close to $4 million in the end.

But either way, I agree, this will be good.

^ total badassery right there
I bet that part of the game is gonna be fun to explore.

 

[SMOGZINN]

I don't know about that part. It might be fun the first time, but after that I'm afraid you are going to die and have to spend a hour getting back to where you were.

 

[Pray To Jesus]

I'm in for $45.

Question is can it hit $4M

They should sail past 4 million easily with the incoming procrastination surge that always happens at the end of Kickstarters.

 

[ImpulsE69]

That crystal ball thing is such a spoiler....would have been cooler to not see that and it be a reveal in the game (depending on what it is).

 

[Bateluer]

I'm glad Torment is getting funded so well, and its going to be well worth it. Just don't forget about Divinity Original Sin guys, they're only looking for 400K and seem to be moving very slowly.

I agree, it's sitting at 3.8 mil (including PayPal donations) right now with 25 hours left.

 

[datalink7]

I would like it to hit 4.5 for player strongholds but I don't think it will. Maybe they'll add it in anyway.

 

[irishScott]

Remember Brian Fargo and someone else pledged 100,000 a piece once it reached 3 million, so we have an extra 200,000 on top of paypal on top of kickstarter.

 

[irishScott]

Currently trending to close to 4 mil, and rising. I'd love for them to reach 4.5 but I really want those extra 5 legacies.

I forgot about that. With that in mind, I still have hope for $4.5 million. And it should at least hit $4.25 million for crafting.

 

[FallenHero]

Hrmmm...I'll have to jump into this next month...assuming they have it open still. I'd love to contribute. Stupid budgets and pregnant wife getting in the way of me spending money...

 

[AdamantC]

InXile's track record has been rather spotty. If it's due to publisher dickery or a good old fashioned case of "John Romero Syndrome" remains to be seen.

I won't be pledging any money, but I wish them the best and I will be keeping my eye on this and Wasteland 2.

 

[Red Storm]

Pledged $25.

The kickstarter ends today actually.

 

[Red Storm]

Between this, Project Eternity, Star Citizen and Planetary Annihilation, my gaming future is well taken care of.

Yeah, but most of these studios still allow you to buy the game from their site after the Kickstarter.

 

[Red Storm]

Yeah, but most of these studios still allow you to buy the game from their site after the Kickstarter.

But that money doesn't go towards making the game more awesome.
