Game News Wasteland 2 Kickstarter Now Live!

[VonVentrue]

Anyway, Brian's re-emphasized dedication to creating a proper cRPG is admirable (so is his desire to shake up the status quo in this rotten industry), we can only hope he - or his design team - won't sway away from the dutiful path of adhering to such principles throughout the development process.

 

[TwinkieGorilla]

Hey, at least we have hope. S'more than we've had in a long time.

So it looks like Wasteland 2 now has a Paypal donation system setup that is outside of Kickstarter.

Since Paypal jews only 2.9% on US citizens and 3.9% on non-US citizens for donations, compared to the 10% by Kickstarter and Amazon, some people might want to switch their donation over from kickstarter to paypal.

For those of you that like numbers (and who doesn't) Wasteland 2 just passed that ipod dock thing and became the 2nd most funded Kickstarter ever. Steadily creeping towards the $1.5m goal.

You go Fargo.

If you can't use the direct kickstarter payment method, but can use paypal, there's an easy way to do it now:

This settles it. 2012 is the end of the world.

I personally like these theories xD
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_phenomenon#Timewave_zero_and_the_I_Ching

the graph appears to show great periods of novelty corresponding with major shifts in humanity's biological and sociocultural evolution.

In India, the guru Kalki Bhagavan has promoted 2012 as a "deadline" for human enlightenment since at least 1998. Over 15 million people consider Bhagavan to be the incarnation of the god Vishnu and believe that 2012 marks the end of the Kali Yuga, or degenerate age.

They've predicted 2012 as the end of the degenerate age of RPGs by RetardWare & Co. for thousands of years.

 

[Sovy Kurosei]

I already threw $90 at the project. B)

 

[FUDU]

Maybe December 21, 2012 will be the end...


















of RPG's THAT SUCK!

All HAIL, the dawn of a new era.


P.S. Suck it Kotic.

 

[Commissar Draco]

Estimated Delivery: Oct 2013 Who wants to bet they will make it before AoD?

"Hell no there won't be day one dlc" lmao

 

[oldmanpaco]

Only $650 from 1.5 million. To bad Codex won't push them over the top.

edit: And now they are at 1.5 million.

2 million seems like a given at this point. Do we think they can make it to 3 million?

 

[LeStryfe79]

1,500,372

 

[Aeschylus]

$1.5 million, awesome.

I guess the Codex will just have to wait to push it over $2m.

Is it? I think Brian needs to release some updates with videos to speed things up again.

They still have 3 weeks to go and you know there will be a media burst towards the end. I think 2 million is a pretty safe bet right now.

Or not. The hell do I know.

edit: BTW the average donation is still over $50.

There's going to be a new video tomorrow.

 

[Stabwound]

I wonder what he has planned for $2 million. His twitter says "Stay tuned for what happens at 2 mil"

Incoming iPad version?

 

[commie]

At 2 mil, the game will have VO for every line by the original cast of Fallout including Richard Dean Anderson. Ron Perlman will narrate the intro: "Wasteland...Wasteland never changes...." As an added bonus CrispyPatrick Stewart and Malcolm McDowell from Bethesda GOTY's of 2006 and 2008 will make cameo appearances.



As for how much money they'll raise, well you have to start adding the paypal as well: it's almost 3,500 after a day or two. Won't be a gigantic amount, but should be noticeable. To get 2 mil they'll need less than 20000 a day...can be done. Don't know why they'd need much more than this anyway. If they really still need money after that then Brian has his own funds to use in an emergency.

 

[oldmanpaco]

If it does get to 2 million they sure as hell better offer a toolset.

 

[superdeluxe]

Awesome 1.5 million! Interesting about the kick it forward campaign

 

[GhostBadger]

The Double Fine project isn't as risky and the die-hard fans aren't as ruthless (in my opinion, of course)...

mm, things have been fairly fucking stupid in IF/graphical-adventure/whatever-the-fuck-it's-called-this-decade games. And, as usual, nobody has given a slim shit about Linux there.

They had better not fuck this up either. Mean-ass Monkey Island and Full Throttle groupies will flip out.

This might make a lot of financial sense too, when people will be inclined to back it up with more money. So it's win-win no matter how you look at it.

 

[GhostBadger]

Another good idea would be for them to consider an open-sourcing strategy for WL2. Even my raging commie sensibilities would be cool with somehting a-la id Software where they delay until the game has been out some time.
