Already funded with 29 days to go, Obsidian Entertainment are kickstarting a new isometric RPG. Since I have been a complete sucker for all of Obsidian's previous work, I am in already on this one :)
Details from the kickstarter site:

QuoteProject Eternity will take the central hero, memorable companions and the epic exploration of Baldur's Gate, add in the fun, intense combat and dungeon diving of Icewind Dale, and tie it all together with the emotional writing and mature thematic exploration of Planescape: Torment.
Combat uses a tactical real-time with pause system - positioning your party and coordinating attacks and abilities is one of the keys to success. The world map is dotted with unique locations and wilderness ripe for exploration and questing. You'll create your own character and collect companions along the way – taking him or her not just through this story, but, with your continued support, through future adventures. You will engage in dialogues that are deep, and offer many choices to determine the fate of you and your party. ...and you'll experience a story that explores mature themes and presents you with complex, difficult choices to shape how your story plays out.
Too bad it's rtwp. :(
I have insanely high hopes for this game.
Stupid of me.
Optimism!!!!!
