An interview on Gamasutra talks with Tom Hall and Brenda Brathwaite of Loot Drop about their just-announced Kickstarter for an "old school RPG." They discuss their goal of melding traditional elements like character development and investment with modern elements like advanced graphics. There's also a discussion of how the pair will be developing two different parts of the same game world, which explains why one of the Kickstarter's stretch goals is two separate games. Here's a bit on that: Brathwaite and Hall have conceived of the game as having two distinct worlds part of the same universe and the same timeline, where one of them is fundamentally Brathwaite's and the other's is Hall's, with a bridge connecting the two.
Hall's second world is viewed as something of a sequel if the game's stretch funding goals are met. But ultimately the pair will collaborate on all aspects of development, and in Hall, Brathwaite has the ideal complement to her RPG values.

Such a bad idea. Why don't they just prove they can actually get one good game out first? I'll be really surprised if they actually make their funding. Sure doesn't look like anyone around here is in. I know i'm not.
Errr, Anachronox? Wizardry 8? Those are two of the finest RPGs ever made in my book.
I'm not funding them because, like idiots, they decide to ask for funding in a month when the following titles come out:
- Dishonored
- XCom remake
- Lego Lord of the Rings
- AC 3
- Farcry 3
The last two would actually come out right after their funding month is up, but my budget counts all these as generally being in the same month. In addition, they come out right after Obsidian did their kickstarter.
I would actually gladly support them, but I am simply out of gaming money until Christmas. Had they done this in February, they'd happily get my 50 bucks. I'd pay 100 bucks for the proper sequel and finish to Anachronox.
