We all enjoy hearing about Kickstarter success stories.  We gamers also love hearing about the games we enjoyed as children achieving huge success in being revitalized, either as (good) remakes like X-Com or with brand new sequels.  It is this second type of classic reboot that we’ve got before us today with Torment: Tides of Numenera.

And it’s gonna be big.

The game is being pitched by inXile Entertainment, already successful on Kickstarter with their Wasteland 2 entry, and was put forth on the crowd-funding site this morning.  It was talked about on GameSkinny a while ago and I put in my own pledge shortly after it began, already showing a strong pledge amount of over $100,000.  Six hours after the project went up for pledging, I received an email, the first project update.

Saying that the game was fully-funded.  Torment: Tides of Numenera received the full $900,000 it was asking for in pledges in the first six hours that it was possible to pledge at all.  If I wasn’t excited about this game before, I certainly am now.  With 29 days and about 17 hours to go, it seems certain that this game is well on its way to challenging the previous record-holders for Kickstarter, and it’s going to be thrilling seeing exactly how high it goes.

$990,183 pledged to Torment: Tides of Numenera as of writing.  Stop reading and hit the source below to get in on this!
