What? What'd you say? Stop channeling? I didn't he-

I finally gave them some money when one of the $20 slots opened up again. Or at least Amazon says I authorized payment; I haven't received any confirmation from Kickstarter yet. I hope this isn't some dumb thing where someone else paid for that slot before I did so my payment doesn't count.

You can check two things:
- When you're logged in to kickstarter, see if the $20 tier shows you as a backer
- Find the payment authorization on Amazon Payments

If both appear, you're probably good to go.

It shows up on Amazon Payments, and I got an email from them, but nothing on or from Kickstarter has indicated that they're acknowledging it so far. Oh well, I wasn't really planning on joining the Kickstarter until I saw the cheap price was available again, so if it doesn't go through it's not the end of the world.

Man. I remember when the Torment PR was starting to ramp up and everyone knew that the Kickstarter was coming, I was so worried about Kickstarter fatigue and general wariness due to Wasteland 2 not being out and... Well. Good work, InXile.

What they OUGHT to do is let you customize your characters appearance (skin/hair color etc) and then base the appearance of the immortal god off what you picked. :colbert:

(I like customizing my dude)
On the other hand, Planescape Torment had a lot of "NPCs react to your appearance", which you don't see much - any? - of in games where you can customize your appearance. I mean, yeah, DA2 and Fallout 3 did the family appearance stuff, but that's about the extent of it. And I do really like customizing my dude and lady-dude when I play games, but there is a tradeoff.

Yeah. For a narrative-heavy game I would rather have a fixed appearance where the game is written to react to it.

It probably didn't go through. Kickstarter will make it clear, both highlighting a reward tier (if you chose one) and showing the project backed in your profile.

I'd cancel the payment authorization just in case, and try again if the opportunity comes up... but you can also wait and see.

IIRC the 200k is to make up for pledges that turn out to be fraudulent and the Kickstarter cut. They're not counting them towards the goals.

It's possible, especially if there are a limited number of outfits to play pretty-doll dressup with. For example, in Alpha Protocol, people will occasionally react to what you're wearing, especially if it's dramatically out-of-place for the setting (meet a Triad boss in a restaurant wearing stealth combat armor and he'll say something about it; wear tourist clothes and he'll say something else).

I do hope they'll be tweaking the player character designs, they look 'different', but they don't look particularly tormented aside from the arm scarring I guess.

They're castoff tools of the Changing God who are being chased by Death. No matter how pretty they are its probably a bit stressful.

Alright, I guess Alpha Protocol did it a little bit. Though that particular example felt like total bullshit when I played it. Before and after that particular bit, the game would automatically put you in civilian clothes any time mission gear would be horribly out-of-place and unnecessary. As far as I know, that was the one and only time that didn't happen, and it was just so that that NPC could comment on it.

This is my first backing of a Kickstarter, and I was wondering about something. I don't remember what option I choose as the payment, but I show up as a backer on Kickstarter, and it says I will be charged later on tonight after it's finished. Since I don't remember the payment process, I assume I had to put in my CC information, since I don't have an Amazon Payments account setup. Is using a credit card something kickstarter does? Or should I set up an Amazon Payments account, and put my CC info in that, so it goes through later tonight?

I think it uses any established Amazon account? If you have one at all.

Deng would also comment on what you were wearing when you went to see him in the subway station. I agree that it was quite limited in scope, but it goes to show that it is indeed possible.

Yeah I do, I just don't keep my CC info in my Amazon account. So I guess what I'm wondering is if it asks for the CC info when you make a pledge, or rely on you having that info tied to your Amazon account. I'll go ahead and put it in my Amazon account just to be sure, but I'm still wondering, if anybody knows?

So I think my pocket can drop another $15 on this, but I'm unsure between the comics and the novellas. Which one would you guys prioritise?

From the other samples linked in the thread, I enjoyed Colin McComb's writing, but not Mur Lafferty or Monte Cook's, for what it's worth.

Do $40 for the printed novellas, there should be so few of them you can play wallstreet thug with them on ebay when the game is released. :v:

Decided to be a gross person with no life and bumped up my pledge from 75$ digital to nabbing the free last 125$ digital. Don't know why I want an e-version of the Numenera Corebook or my name on a tombstone, but I guess for 50 bucks, I might as well, huh? More money than sense over here.

I also threw in another 30 bucks because I wanted a poster sent to me to Canada. The concept art is amazing.

Like FRINGE said, it will use an Amazon.com account; Amazon Payments is under that umbrella. Kickstarter doesn't do payment processing themselves -- Amazon Payments is their processor. Chances are that Amazon Payments will still let you put in a CC number that you're not storing, but I'm not sure.

Log in at https://payments.amazon.com/ with your Amazon account (assuming you do have one) and see if the payment information's there. If it is, that should be confirmation.

yay I snuck in at $20. Hope that holds up :) Now I need to try the original game, I jumped on Project Eternity too without knowing poo poo. Hope they're both worth it

Ok yeah, it is, thanks a lot guys, appreciate it. Just in case anyone else is wondering or having similar questions, the payment authorization doesn't show up in the Overview. It's under the "Edit my account settings- Manage Payment Authorizations". Which makes sense, since it hasn't gone through yet.

Monte Cooke has got to be really loving happy he hooked up with the Torment team. Numenera just went from a "might be neat" novelty game to something that might, possibly, become recognizable enough to be a Big Name RPG.

I agree, but in this case they said that "crafting" will be the manipulation of numenera (as opposed to chopping down 6000 trees to make an arrow or whatever).

Same here. It's actually kinda weird that they even added crafting as stretch goal since it got pretty low amount of votes in their uservoice thingy. I guess someone at inxile really wants crafting in this game, I just hope it doesn't suck as it almost always does.

My guess is it will be more "discovery of what the oddities do when they are reassembled" rather than blacksmithing. (Which would make sense that some of the writers would want to explore it, the setting is named after the things (Numenera).)
