Torment: Tides of Numenera, the sequel to popular Planetscape: Torment, set a record for video games earlier this week, raising nearly $4.2 million on Kickstarter.

The sum was more than quadruple the funding goal by developer inXile Entertainment. Of course, this pales in comparison to the more than $8.5 million raised for new “console” system OUYA, another a Kickstarter success story.

Still, the Torment crowd-funding record is sure to be short lived, especially if the game is a commercial success. In that case, both developers and crowd-funders are likely to jump in with even deeper commitments to other large-scale games in development.
