If they thought they could finish the project with 900K I'm sure they'll manage with 2.1 million.

I'm not sure. I have been meaning to download it myself just haven't yet.

I want to up mine to $250 too, but my wife isn't having it.

Ha seems the codex is getting its statue/shrine after all.

NMA is also getting a bar named after their site.

I havent played wasteland. Are there mutants ?

It's like a dream come true!

Seems sad to me that they aren't willing to make a game until people pay for it before it's even begun to be made.

What do you mean? How would they make a game without a confirmed budget and funding? It's not about not being "willing".

As a company they need to come up with the funding for themselves, release the rpoduct and if it's good enough it should make a profit. What they are doing ehre is asking for people to fund the game by buying before its even started to eb made. Unless I am misinterpreting it?

No publisher was interested (if you look at the pitch video from the Wasteland 2 kickstarter page, it comes pretty clear) - that's why they chose to attempt fanfunding. The whole point of the Kickstarter is to ask the fans of a particular product if they'd be willing have it funded (because it otherwise wouldn't) and participate (up to a degree - it's not a design commitee) in how the actual product ends up being.

In Double Fines case it was the fans of the classical point'n click adventure game (which all publishers rejected), in Wasteland 2's case it's the fans of the old school cRPG's (which all publishers rejected). And there's a multitude of other projects asking if there's an audience for such, from webcomics to cardgames to videogames to music etc.

If people aren't interested in getting such product, it will not be funded and the product will not be made. It's people funding what they want to see, a "focus group publishing", so to speak.

Sounds to me that you didn't read the kickstarter page, or watch the video or do any research. Brian Fargo has been trying to get funding since well, forever.

I think the bar will be full of Dinosaurs ranting and raving about the third time a fallout has occurred.

They will just deny it ever happened.

@UnDe @The Tallest

Yep I misunderstood exactly what was going on here.

If Bethesda joins the project then I might consider paying some money.

Except they would turn it into an FPS RPG with a railroad story.

They could make the world design and let the owner do the writing and the programming...

Lmao @ gargantua. You haven't watched the videos, right? The man who is begging for people's money has already ridiculed Fallout 3 (aka Bethesda) why would they 'join' the enemy? They have enough projects of their own and tons of money.

No. Just... no.

You dont even know what type of game this is do you.

Besides bethesda's world design svcks. It gets worse with each game. (well fallout 3 was ahead of oblivion, but thats not hard).

Eat less for a few months?


It's going to be the Codex troll. They're a bunch of [censored] but I'm glad they'll be in it. It's exactly their kind of game, and they deserve a little bit of joy. This is the first game that's catered to them in forever.


NMA?






NO!



You just gave me nightmare material for tonight. Thanks.

I just recently found out that troll is a doodle Chris Avellone made and afterwards they started using it for their site.

Yeah, its great they are in it. Its their kinda of game, the fact a community for such a niche genre is getting its place in a game, catered to them for the first time in ages. It just fits so well.

It appears they also donated 10k as a group, despite not needing that much for a statue/shrine.
They really care about wasteland 2, its nice they will get recognition in game.
