The Cold, Calculating Jack (by Nils Hamm, inXile entertainment)
Torment: Tides of Numenera, das neue PC-Rollenspiel von inXile entertainment (Wasteland 2, etc.) wird über Kickstarter finanziert. In der Tradition von Planescape: Torment basiert es auf dem ebenfalls mit Hilfe von Crowdfunding entstandenen und bislang noch nicht erschienenen Numenera Pen & Paper RPG von Monte Cook.
„Torment: Tides of Numenera is a game set in the world of Monte Cook’s new tabletop RPG setting, Numenera. Torment continues the thematic legacy of Planescape: Torment, a critically acclaimed role-playing game from 1999 that’s considered by many to be a hallmark for storytelling in computer RPGs. With Torment, we’re striving to create a rich role-playing experience that explores similar deep, personal themes.
Here’s the scoop:
•Torment is a single-player, isometric role-playing game.
•You will play a single, specific character, though you will encounter optional NPC companions you may choose to include in your party.
•The story-driven game will have a rich dialogue system and approach similar to that of Planescape: Torment.
•The game will be developed in the Unity engine for PC (Windows), Mac, and Linux platforms.
•The game will be available in English, French, German, Italian, Polish, Russian, Spanish.
•The game will be distributed DRM-free. (You’ll be able to get it from Steam, and other DRM-free download options will be made available.)“
– Torment: Tides of Numenera product description
Ich unterstütze Brian Fargos neues Projekt zunächst einmal, wenngleich es mich irritiert, dass sein erster Kickstarter, Wasteland 2, noch nicht fertig gestellt wurde und seine Firma nun bereits für Torment: Tides of Numenera Geld sammelt.
