KaosAngel: i read walden back in hs it was good
KaosAngel: im reading dark tower atm

I do not understand what they are trying to achieve with this game.  So are you just going to spend time alone in the woods? Trying to gather food and keep yourself alive? If thats the angle they should make a game based of off Survivorman.

I've read a few excerpts from Walden in an English class I took.  It's a very interesting book, but I never once thought that it would make a good game.

Transcendentalism: The Game?

I read Walden, I can't imagine this becoming a game unless it's done in a Dear-Esther-like style.

You have intrigued me, I'll keep an eye on it.

So is the game a "not pay your taxes in protest of the Mexican war and then get thrown into jail" simulator?

In my dreams, they will become... my dreams.

Not having a moustache means he might have been making a statement about pacifism, but it could have just been a style thing :)

Not sure how you could make a game of that since it's pretty much one guy's journey through thought, but I'm intrigued by the ambition nonetheless (assuming it's not going to be one of those lame satires where he fights zombies). 

Then again, that's not so bad either sometimes.

At the end of the game, do you decide that governments are unfortunate but necessary constructs for the moment, and refuse to pay your taxes?

Actually, a game as Thoreau where your constantly running away from the IRS (or whatever the 19th century equivalent was) sounds greats.

First off, this game is gonna suck. Secondly, he looks like he was going for the Abraham Lincoln-look and failed miserably.

The only way I could see this working is if they made it in the style of a visual novel. Either way, I'm interested in how it turns out.
