Obsidian's new RPG Project Eternity has some gorgeous backgrounds as you can see from the YouTube trailer below. It was on Kickstarter and garnered three times the amount of money that they required to get the project going so we will be seeing this game sooner or later, you can still toss some coins at them by visiting their main page which is accessible from Rock, Paper, SHOTGUN's preview. The design team describes the game as a mix of the dungeon crawling of Icewind Dale, the depth of NPC personality of Baldur’s Gate and a story as gripping as Planescape. Currently the Slacker Backer is worth $29 and will get you a copy of the game from Steam or GOG.
"My old-school RPG gland’s been engorged with excitement for many reasons lately, but the past few weeks have seen Torment race to the front of the pack – and not just because it’s chock full of twisted sights and sounds not of this world. In something of a revolution, it also moves. Like, its pictures just sort of do things, without the assistance of a flip book, finger puppets, or any of the other traditional methods. So imagine my elation when I discovered that Project Eternity will, in fact, employ similar motion gremlins to sow the glorious song of movement into its lush mountains, valleys, and plains."
