Wizardry and Anachronox Vets Jump the Kickstarter Train

[LookingGlass]

I'd like to support it, but there are almost zero details about what the game itself is going to be like in the pitch. It's as if they just thought "hey, we should do a Kickstarter!", and 10 minutes later put it up. I'll wait for more information.

Also, personally I'd rather have one big, content-rich RPG than two smaller ones. That seems like a strange stretch goal.

I think they should have waited until the Project Eternity KS was at least a couple weeks past its finish mark before trying to throw in another project. This just smacks of a "me, too" vibe.

It's always nice to have more "old-school" RPG's, but I still don't know anything about the game besides a general pie-in-the-sky idea. Obsidian started their campaign with a world map, basic character details and art for several NPC's already mapped out, along with clear descriptions of what two of the major gameplay locations (and the overarching story) are.

I like the idea for having one game affect content in the other, but that's not really enough to put up a pledge for until I see more information.

I remember when Kickstarter used to be a Wagon with only a few developers riding along. Now it's become a train. :l Anyone else getting tired of all these new kickstarter projects?

Why? It's not as if you're forced to support every project out there, and the ones I do support, I'm glad they're on there.

OT:

Hall was one of the few people that emerged Ion Storm with his dignity, but he spent the majority of his career as an FPS guy. Anachronox and Deus Ex can be attributed to him, and they had RPG elements, but nothing about them was "old school," there is no reason to expect a quality product from his efforts.

I checked the page in the opening weeks when it was reported on, and there was nothing I found exciting or worthwhile, it just felt like a set of bullet points copy/pasted from "Getting Kickstarter funding for dummies"
