Project Eternity, the spiritual successor to the likes of Planescape, Baldur’s Gate and Icewind Dale, looks set to reach its top funding goal of $3.5 million before its Kickstarter closes in 15 hours, Obsidian has revealed.
The current total stands at $3,423,646, but a recent Tweet from the studio suggests that when combined with PayPal contributions the $3.5 million stretch goal has already been met.
“Well I don’t like announcing achieves until I see it on KS (we’ll apply PP $ to final totals) but uhhh, it’s hard not to say… BBC2 IS IN!” revealed a joyful Tweet.
“Baldur’s Gate and Athkatla are big cities,” says Obsidian. “Spanning multiple large maps with a ton of interiors, characters and quests, big cities are a lot of fun. Like strongholds, they also take a lot of work to do well. We’re going to have one big city in Project Eternity. Would you like two? If you take us on an exciting adventure to $3.5 Million, we will take you on an exciting adventure to another big city.”
All this also means that Project Eternity has become the most funded video game project on Kickstarter, topping the $3,336,371 achieved by Double Fine Adventure. Let’s not forget that Android console Ouya managed to raise a staggering $8,596,474.
