Project Eternity aims to recapture the magic, imagination, depth, and nostalgia of classic RPGs that we enjoyed making - and playing. At Obsidian, we have the people responsible for many of those classic games and we want to bring those games back… and that’s why we’re here - we need your help to make it a reality!
Project Eternity will take the central hero, memorable companions and the epic exploration of Baldur’s Gate, add in the fun, intense combat and dungeon diving of Icewind Dale, and tie it all together with the emotional writing and mature thematic exploration of Planescape: Torment.
Combat uses a tactical real-time with pause system - positioning your party and coordinating attacks and abilities is one of the keys to success. The world map is dotted with unique locations and wilderness ripe for exploration and questing. You’ll create your own character and collect companions along the way – taking him or her not just through this story, but, with your continued support, through future adventures. You will engage in dialogues that are deep, and offer many choices to determine the fate of you and your party. …and you'll experience a story that explores mature themes and presents you with complex, difficult choices to shape how your story plays out.
We are excited at this chance to create something new, yet reminiscent of those great games and we want you to be a part of it as well.

(we think you're laundering money, so we're going to freeze all your assets for a year)nin wrote on Sep 15, 2012, 22:14:Expect a huge bump when they add Paypal as an additonal payment option. A lot of people all over the world arent using credit cards. Me included, so expect my $35 any time soon
While it is slowing now, I'd be very surprised if they didn't hit all those (up to/including 2.2) by the end.

Edit: Just noticed they added stretch goals and they sound pretty good!
C'mon Borderlands 2!!!

Also, 62 folks shelled out $1000 each (!), and on the high end, 10 folks brought in a total of $50,000!
Pretty damn amazing!

They really need to post some stretch goals if they want the momentum to keep going.
I imagine they will, their just being stupid and taking their time with it, apparently.
They're. They are being stupid.

lYes, but now I want to know, preload of what?
Well they got their funding now and it's still going! I estimate it'll go over 3mil easy. I'm waiting now to see what kind of stretch goals they will have and other info about the game. I'm backing at $20 now but will gladly increase it if they give more details.
