Torment: Tides of Numenera Kickstarter
The Kickstarter for the spiritual successor to the game that I have always considered to be the best, by far, of all of the old-school BioWare-style RPGs has already blown way past its goal after less than a day. It was fully funded in just six hours.
On the one hand, I think it's amazingly awesome that it's already hit $1,500,000 of its $900,000 goal.
On the other hand, though, I think the fact that, after only a day, it's already over $200,000 past the total of what the Dreamfall Chapters Kickstarter has made in almost a full month is kind of a crying shame. Essentially, to me at least, The Longest Journey is to old-school adventure games what Planescape: Torment is to old-school western RPGs, and I kind of wish that Dreamfall Chapters had had the same sort of runaway success that this new Torment Kickstarter is clearly going to have. But, oh well. (Mainly, I'm just somewhat disappointed that the Dreamfall Chapters KS is most likely not going to hit that $2,000,000 stretch goal.)
