Wasteland 2 Kickstarter (Now featuring Chris Avellone)

Post » Wed May 02, 2012 7:53 pm

I think it will hit $3 million. How many people do you think are collecting as much money as they can or waited until a closer date for it to end so they new for sure how much money they could spend? I'm assuming at least $300,000 worth.

They don't really have that at the presented-to-publisher stage either, though. The option just isn't there.

And I don't think that is necessary. It is a 2D turn based game, with modern technology, I doubt anything could go wrong, given the team itself is already experienced in making games.

Must be. I haven't been it's just your opinion'ed about stating that in turnbased gameplay you take turns and that if there are no turns it isn't TB, ever before.
First time for everything, I guess. :tongue:

Haha, my jaw dropped when i read that. Literally cannot get my head around that arguement whatsoever! :clap:

I think that an isometric view is the wrong way to go imo. Isometric may work with games like Zelda but when you're shooting stuff to survive it feels like a glorified Oregon Trail. Or that game Loaded on PS1.
Have you ever played an RTS or an RPG with tactical combat?

Gameplay? Nope. Writing from NV and some location ideas from F03.

Well maybe even some gameplay, I'm not a huge fan of isometric view. I think they could make it a great first person game.
They could make it a first-person game, but they won't. Why? Because it's party-based tactical combat. First-person doesn't work well for that in any game I've seen unless you can zoom out to an overhead view to plan and issue orders to your group. :shrug:

I agree, but it's still a bit of a high gamble to throw your money at a game we know very little about. Is it a gamble as all video game production is? Sure. But I do believe the lack of real issuing of hard game evidence makes me suspect the game will be very unheard of or poorly recieved.
Yeah, it's a gamble to buy a game that hasn't started development yet. That's not what we're doing, though. We're contributing to the realization of a concept, for better or worse. The idea is that the people contributing want to give the game a chance to be made. Publishers aren't touching it because it doesn't fit within their market research parameters, so if it's going to have a chance to be made funding has to come from somewhere else.

If that's the only reason someone donates to a game, is that any better?
Fargo has been involved in some of my favorite game projects (Wasteland and Fallout included) and I'd like to see him get a chance to make this game. That's what I'm paying for. If the game isn't great (although I hope it will be) I won't be angry that I contributed. That's not the point. :shrug:

One thing I am confident about is that a lot of love will go into this project.

Crazy?

Much more polite word than I'd have used. ;)

You know, it's really refreshing to read a post like this amongst all the other, well...special posts.

Or a Zelda game, to add to that? I don't think I've ever seen an isometric one...

Yeah, if you go to the Kickstarter there is a link to the Wasteland Portal then from there you can go to their paypal page and see what they've made.

I've been watching the feed for the party since about 18:40 this evening.

My taxcheck came and it's a whopper. Gave me enough money to fork out 30 dollars for Wasteland 2, and 15 dollars for Shadowrun returns. Thank you U.S. government!

I think once you pledge you can't remove the amount from your credit card?
