Obsidian Entertainment has managed one of the most successful Kickstarter projects to date with Project Eternity. The project has, in all, managed to earn $4 million through both Kickstarter and PayPal, overtaking Double Fine Adventure. The game is Kickstarter’s best-funded games project.
The $4M stretch goal adds live instrumentation to the game’s soundtrack, in-game developer commentary, and a promise to use every dollar from $3.5m to $4m to enhance the game. Additionally, the game’s lead writer Chris Avellone will be forced to play Arcanum and enjoy (or suffer through) all of its quirks.
Additionally, 13 levels of the Mega Dungeon, “The Endless Paths” have been unlocked thanks to the number of backers for the game. You can extend it to 14 levels if you hit the “Like” button on their Facebook page.
