Game News Obsidian to co-develop Wasteland 2 if Kickstarter reaches $2.1mil

[Palikka]

Bet DU feels really silly now capping the Codex fund-raiser at 10k instead of .45mil. :p

 

[mindx2]

Dang! The money being pledged on the Kickstarter page has started rising quickly again. Definitely shows people seem to be excited by this news.

 

[Stabwound]

I'd say. It's up about $20,000 in 2 hours.

Well, the Codex got its statue/whatever now in any case, from now on people can donate direct to the Kickstarter if they feel like it.

Its badass! Codex needs moar presence. New fundraiser! We get Tim, Chris, Josh, to join Fargo and the rest. This needs to happen goddamnit. No excuses! I live below poverty line and will gladly give another $100-$200. This shit is a fuck you to decline everywhere. It HAS to happen. Come one mother fuckers. The time is now!

Wow... how about close to $30,000 in two hours!

Jason Anderson doesn't like to be left out

Feel free to dig up any of the DS3 threads for insight.

to dig through tons of hatred for the core game design? well, to not like how it plays doesn't change the point that ds3 is by far no buggy product.

Total brofists, bitch. WTF is taking DU so long! Yesterdays shit is golden, but this shit is the new shit. We ALL need to strip down and accept the new ramen order. Fuck being poor, we gootta do our job. We steal, sacrifice and give. Simple as that. I'll pledge $250 to this shit immediately. Come on, we need to move out and rally to the cause!

 

[Aeschylus]

AHHHHHHHHH! So amazing.

This is how to change the nature of an industry.

I'm pretty sure everybody at the Codex who's interested has already blown their load on this, and then some.

But I'm sure this news will cause many people to be more generous when they increase their pledges near the end of the Kickstarter period.

 

[G.O.D]

HELL - YEAH

[bussinrounds]

[communard]

I see your point of view, but I'm poor as fuck, gave $100 to ks and $100 to codex. I'll sacrifice more for this though. I don't give a shit how poor I am, I'll do what it takes, since this shit is the best thing any of us has seen in over a decade. Decline is the enemy, and i choose to fight it, even if I have to eat like a beggar for the next 2 years...

And here's the update on the W2 Kickstarter page.

We have announced a major piece of good news today that inXile has reached an agreement with Obsidian for potential design assistance for Wasteland 2. What that means is that Obsidian’s Chief Creative Officer, Chris Avellone, is going to work with our team on the design and writing of the game! It is important to note that we say "potential" as they will come aboard assuming we hit $2.1 million in funding. The good news is that we have already seen a spike in just the few hours since this was announced in a press release this morning.

As expected, he's really emphasizing the fact that this is mostly MCA and not Obsidian as a whole, which is a good thing if you ask me.

 

[Brother None]

Plus the fixed the misquote so now MCA calls it the "spiritiual predecessor" instead of the "spiritual successor"

 

[felipepepe]

This is reaching Warhammer Fan-fic level, where God-Emperor manages to save Sanguinius, they defeat Horus, brofist and rebiuld the Empire.

 

[Mrowak]

So, are we starting a new foundrising effort, here on the 'Dex? I can see that $20,000 puring into DU's coffers.

I am a bit disappointed that there is no mention of Tim Cain possibly helping too

You know, that didm't end well for the Emperor... or the Empire for that matter.
