I am thinking 50~100

» Mon May 14, 2012 10:16 pm

So if I donated $10,000 I get a few copies of the game, I would appear as a shrine, a few items and a dinner date? Forget that. I will carry on investing my money where I get a financial return.

» Tue May 15, 2012 4:04 am

Probably $100, unless I can get the extra cash early on for $250 then I'll do that.

When do the donations start?

» Mon May 14, 2012 6:25 pm

When do the donations start?

Once the Kickstarter page gets put up. Shouldn't be too long anymore.

» Tue May 15, 2012 3:14 am

"Proper sequel" indeed! Will be throwing in a hundred bones myself.

Hooray! I haven't played the original but an old school, Fallout-like turn based party RPG with no publishers getting in the way of the development process sounds great.

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/inxile/wasteland-2?ref=live

Almost 21,000 already done (at 3.40pm, the amount raises all the time), 100 of which are from me.

Notifiable is that the goal was lowered to 900,000 while the real goal is 1 million, but Fargo puts the last 100,000 from his own pocket if need be. He also takes no salary from doing this, so all the money will go to the project.

(also, noticed Jason Bergman in the backers list)

Pledged $100!
$32,250 as of this moment.

Holy crap!

» Tue May 15, 2012 2:35 am

$100k as of now.

That's quite amazing that It only took ~3 hours to hit 1/9 of the goal.

EDIT: On the chance that it doesn't reach its goal, do you get your money refunded?

Yes. Actually, I don't think the money is taken from your bank account until after the kickstarter funding ends.

» Mon May 14, 2012 5:07 pm

The money only gets taken when the Kickstarter time runs out (34 days left), and only if (and when) the 900k goal is reached.

Over 150k reached in about 5 hours. Keep 'em monies rollin' in.

Pitched my cash in. Great to see this as a reality. Brian Fargo? Still out about him. Let's not forget once upon a time Interplay became a monolithic publisher ala Ubisoft and Activi. Fargo takes part of the blame even if I've herelded him as a demi-God around here.

But armed with the original team and more this can be good. Other than potential ideas from other fans that contrast with what you want in a game. Thus the downside of crowd sourcing.

Also much of the pitch coincides with Fallout. Wasteland was hardly emotionally engaging. It was a LULZFEST mostly. Seems Wasteland 2 will sit between the two in terms of mechanics, tone, and feel.

But again good to see this as a reality. We already knew they were working on it anyways. That no publisher agreed is what we didn't know.

Funny thing though: I always felt turn based mechanics was always half-assed into CRPGs from tabletops so I'm not as excited about that part of the game/gameplay as others. I played Wasteland to everything in between including my favorite game of all time, the original Fallout, not because of the tb elements but because of everything else.

Anyways. Round em up guys, let's see W2 be all that it can be. Minus Tim Cain and Leon's talents.

oops... misread...

» Mon May 14, 2012 2:23 pm

Glad to see it's making some headway. I'm really excited for this. I'll be pledging this weekend after i get paid.

» Tue May 15, 2012 6:15 am

I really hope this happens.
Thanks to the Double Fine Adventure I managed to pledge $76 myself.

» Mon May 14, 2012 10:17 pm

I really hope this happens.

At the pace money is rolling in, it surely will. 200,000 already pledged -- within 6 or so hours.
This is all going way too well.

» Tue May 15, 2012 6:12 am

This could be done by tomorrow. I sat and hit F5 on the page for about a minute or so and there were pledges happening very quickly.

Why? You won't be charged until the project is complete and funded (re: April).

» Tue May 15, 2012 1:52 am

I pledged. I'm not sure I'll be around when it comes out, but I will play it.

» Mon May 14, 2012 2:02 pm

Oh, I didn't even realize that. Then I'll be pledging now. :smile:

Now you're sure that Amazon isn't going to charge my card now?

*Edit 2*
Either way, I'm in. $100. Here's to it becoming a reality.

"Was there a Fallout 1 & 2?!?" hahaha funny stuff... i can relate :blush:

It seems likely. Just hit $400k.

I'm glad there's enough people who are still interested in such a game and are willing to back it. I had my doubts. Hopefully it gets picked up by many more after release as well.
