Wasteland 2 release date predictions

Even with an existing engine I can't picture them being able to release a non-halfassed game earlier than spring-summer 2014.

Kind of like I can't help but think of this whenever I see Jaesun's name.

I will say around 2 years or slightly sooner than that due to fan urging to get it right and not release it prematurely. Turn based rpg in 2014, that's some crazy shit.

When Fargo thinks it is done (within reason). Works for me. Didn't see that option.

It's called "Thursday"

2-2 1/2 years to make. And Roquey, there's no way Fargo is making a budget that he expects to spend 3 million over 18 months. He's too smart and he'll never come out and say it, but I'm sure he's planning on spending more in the neighborhood of 2-2.5 million over the next 18 months. The rest either goes into their pockets or they spend it when they go past their deadline.

Sometime in 2014 is more likely to me. As for budget, they've got three times more then asked initially.

They're not getting 3 million, after Kickstarter and Amazon take their cut and inevitable bad payments, it's closer to 2.6-2.7. Unless he announces a delay in the next five months, I expect the majority of that will be used by October 2013 with a couple of months left over for a delay/smooth transition to post-release support. Saving more would be dishonesty on his part if he's sticking to October for a release date.

You're nitpicking now and missing my point. So they'll budget for 1.8M over the next 18 months than leave the rest in reserve. If nothing else, Fargo is a business and marketing guy. He might end up running out of money on the project but it won't be within 18-24 months because he does know how to put together a basic budget.

And how many months of salaries will the leftovers pay for? Totally unknown, but I'm not going to be naively optimistic about it.
