Reever: Hmm, I doubt that, I think the maximum will be 4,250k, but I really hope we get that Stronghold :D

JMich: But the extra 200k won't count towards stretch goals. They've mentioned it in one of the previous updates as I recall.

GameRager: Why not? They're counting the Paypal money towards stretch goals. :\
Haha, very funny :D

And I think we discussed it a few posts back, those money are there to balance and backer dropouts and other possible catastrophes. And maybe after the campaign is over they'll count it for the stretch goal as well (if, let's say, it ends at 4.1kk).

Reever: Well, advertising of course. And it's not like you/we have to read them. I'll just post it and hope that at least some people notice it!

FantasyNightmare: It's gonna be real interesting to see if they reach $4.5 million. I'd REALLY like to know what this player stronghold will look like.

JMich: Don't ask me, ask them. My guess would be to cover for some of the failed pledges.
With this particular KS i'm willing to bet there won't be nearly as many failed pledges. ;)

I also contemplated pasting a picture of Torment's protagonist onto the Stronghold cover art at one point(Perhaps with a drink in one hand & a speech bubble saying "Wish you were here").....fun times.

Updated our Journal (16): Without you there would be no Torment
And here we all stand setting history with the crowdfunding campaign for Torment: Tides of Numenera. We often speak of paradigm shifts and game changers in our industry but you are truly witnessing it in this groundbreaking new model of connecting creators with the players. You have all heard me speak to this new power, but truly it will shape the kinds of games you play and the policies of the developers and publishers. More than ever we are in sync with the simple goal of making games without ever losing the gamer’s interests. At Interplay our slogan was By Gamers, For Gamers and this attitude could not be truer today.

There is no way this game would have ever been funded without this new method of connection and without the passion of our backers who didn’t just donate but worked as a team to spread the word. You guys rock! The passion of the RPG gamer is like none other.

We are both humbled and excited that you have given us this opportunity. The team we have assembled is pretty unbelievable and I have full faith that together we will create a true classic. I never stopped working to get Chris Avellone aboard to make sure we had the band back together. But it only got better when we brought on guys like Pat Rothfuss and Kevin Saunders to take the game to new heights. The trick is always to surround ones self with brilliant people and to create an environment in which creativity can flourish.

I want to give a special shout-out to my wife Ashley for driving her insane by talking incessantly about Kickstarter, Wasteland 2 and Torment for 24 hours a day. I’d also like to thank super fan Steven Dengler who stepped up to match my dollar contribution. The world would be a better place with more Steven Denglers.

Our communication does not stop here. As you’ve seen, we do have our own creative vision for this game but it will be our regular contact with you that helps us hone in on the right aspects of it all. With this great crowdfunding success comes great responsibility and we could not take it more seriously. My confidence in delivering a classic you will love comes from this open dialogue.

As you may know we have a closing party today in which we will celebrate the success we’ve had with this campaign and countdown to the final minutes of closing. We are of course ecstatic at our current funding but we are a competitive bunch and would love to beat the total funding record that our dear friends at Obsidian currently hold. We thought it only natural to invite any backers of the game and at last count we had 100 of you RSVP that you are attending. I look forward to meeting you. And for those that cannot attend, you will be able to join us virtually at this link starting at 2:30 PDT:

And before I end my writing let me share one more incredible concept piece from Nils Hamm that showcases the male player of Torment: Tides of Numenera.



Once again I would like to thank you for making it possible for me and all my team at inXile to spend many more years creating the best RPGs we can.

Now only 12.5k! XD

Ok, I backed a few hours ago (a 20$ slot, I was lucky!) and now I was reading the post and watching the video and... holy crap the counter is speeding!! It's adding a thousand dollars in less than a minute!
Posted April 05, 2013
We're past $ 4 million with Paypal. : )

Here's a graph that shows the more or less hourly rate

ISC: 4m achieved. Will it reach 4.25 in only 6 hours?
Damn it, I'd soooo love that! That way it's a bit more probably that the 200k from Brian (?) and the other guy are counted towards the last stretch goal (if there aren't too many unforeseen backer dropouts).

But still, on their blog they said their vision were 16 legacies, now they can make it come true!!
I just hope they'll be able to implement everything (and well enough) from the stretch goals, otherwise they'll probably be lynched :P

Oh, and I just noticed I haven't watched the campaign vid yet :D

$3,957,867 buck right now so it's under 4 million. Still, it's over FOUR TIMES their initial goal. I thin they just may get that 4.25 mil
