You bastard. I don't have time to replay Torment right now ffs, my backlog is approaching critical mass already.

Haha I'm in the mood to replay it as well. Might be time to update that journal ;)

[Maxrunner]

Yeah there is a isometric ShadowRun game called ShadowRun Online in the works right now. Looks pretty good too. Its F2P also which doesn't really concern me considering the nature of the genre. Picture:

nice.

[Fallout-NL]

YES!!! Keep going!

Haha, he's feelin' it.

[The Emperor]

I don't believe so. DFA was $400k in eight hours, and I think this is $100k in three hours so far? That said, I don't know the rate DFA ramped up over time... and despite all that, this is *still* pretty damn speedy.

Wow DFA was a true beast. But yeah this is still doing really well!!

No but you have to keep in mind Schafer's Twitter has 70k followers.

Okay that is a big difference.

[kyubajin]

Pledged US$ 30. Never played the original but Fallout 1 & 2 are among my favourite games of all time.

[DaBuddaDa]

13.3% funded in about 4 hours beginning early in the morning in the US. Not a bad start, not a bad start at all. I'm pretty confident this will break 1 million.

[OTIX]

People are gonna be so mad about the day 1 DLC.

[Alastor]

It went up 10 000 during my watch of the video :) I'm sure the goal will be achieved, and it will be pretty fast. Go old-school RPG fans!

[CecilRousso]

And there is the first $5000 backer on board.

Also I hope/expect people like Notch, Schafer etc. to tweet about this as well. That should result in a nice push

Disappoint :(

The original Shadowrun on SNES is an absolute gem, I'd definitely support a Kickstarter for a sequel to that bad boy.

Avellone is doing his part, though he doesn't have quite the amount of followers those guys have. :P

https://twitter.com/#!/chrisavellone

Notch seriously needs to give it a shout-out. Dude has 600k+ followers.

[CecilRousso]

A mystery $5000 backer appears, and then Chris Avellone tweets that he has backed the project. Is Fargo going to have to build an Avellone statue? :)

It's "online" because it is a browser driven f2p game. You create an account and you play it online, but it is still a RPG which you can play alone.

well, there is Avellone Rue in Arcanum so why not?

He should put Avellone in the game as a character like in Fallout 1, lol.

Edit: oh fuck that's actually part of the $1000+ tier, lmao. That HAS to happen.

THQ needs to let Volition do a kickstarter for Freespace 3.

I loathe the idea of publishers trying this, but for Freespace I'd do it.

EDIT: Chris Avallone is my hero, seriously dude is awesome.

[Lime]

Gave 30 USD despite never playing the original. My gaming horizon ends at around 1992.

[DaBuddaDa]

If this succeeds and comes out late next year, it will be Wasteland 1's 25th anniversary too :3

[duckroll]

Donated 30 USD despite never playing the original. My gaming horizon ends at around 1992.

Is it a donation if you're getting something in return? :)

[The Emperor]

Even though Freespace 3 would be awesome I don't want publishers to start to do this.

[dude]

Avellone said he dnated 250$, so it's not him...

Could have been awesome though.

[bengraven]

Not to be a buzzkill, but apparently Avellone only did $250.

[The Emperor]

Well Chris Avellone says he only donated $250

Wonder who the $5K person is...

[Zeliard]

Avellone said he dnated 250$, so it's not him...

Dammit. It would have been hilariously brilliant to put him in the game as a character, given the relationship Wasteland has to Fallout.

[Maxrunner]

how did the original wasteland play like??fallout???

[duckroll]

He should put Avellone in the game as a character like in Fallout 1, lol. Edit: oh fuck that's actually part of the $1000+ tier, lmao. That HAS to happen.

I hope his character in the game is a famous writer who had to move from the city and live in a cabin somewhere to escape from crazy fans who erected a statue in his honor and attempted to deify him. He lament about how fanboys are crazy too, if you talk to him. :D

Edit: Damnit, he didn't donate 5000 bucks. Lol. :(

[Tim-E]

Does EA still own the original Wasteland? I'd buy it in a heartbeat if they put it up on GOG. But EA would rather do nothing than do something that someone else in addition to themselves would benefit from.

[ghibli99]

Overhead navigation (like Ultima), first-person turn-based battles (like Bard's Tale).

I am totally an unapologetic Avellone fanboy. :P

I even forgive him for making that remark about used games! Guy's earned eternal amnesty as far as I'm concerned.

It's "online" because it is a browser driven f2p game. You create an account and you play it online, but it is still a RPG which you can play alone.

Oh okay, that's good to hear. Surely the fact that it is f2p is a bad sign though, right? That makes me think of iOS games where you have to buy things to progress or properly level-up your character. Ick!

[Lime]

Is it a donation if you're getting something in return? :)

I noticed my misuse of the word and edited my post to reflect it as a purchase. It's actually a better deal than the DoubleFine one.

[duckroll]

Well, when it's out, we can try it before we knock it. It's free after all. :)

[DirtRiver]

Mike Capps is the $5000 backer:



From the Kickstarter page:

PLEDGE $5,000 OR MORE (...) (for the game, you'll get 1 signed collectors edition and 30 digital copies)

[Bill Murray]

Funded. Hopefully this picks up some steam.

Wasteland > Fallout

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

I'll donate some money next month when I actually have some money

[mclem]

I gather there's some rights issues involved, not sure exactly what it entails. Still, GoG have both EA and Interplay, so they're off on the right bat.

[DaBuddaDa]

That's a massive honor, being trusted and funded that much money from a guy like Mike Capps. Wow.

[Tripwood]

Dropped 30$.

Never played Wasteland but the big connection to Fallout 1/2 is all the reason I need to back this project.

[The Emperor]

Mike Capps is the $5000 backer: From the Kickstarter page:

Wow. Props to Mike Capps!

[AstroLad]

In for $100. Seemed like the sweet spot though I did very briefly consider $1000. :D Wasteland is my favorite game ever literally.

Valid point! Thanks for the link, I'll give it a read and stop derailing the thread :)

It's not a donation and you only pay after the 34 days are over.

[ZombieSupaStar]

pledged 100.

hope it meets its goal.

[subversus]

at this point I' starting to get more concerned about quality of the game than its funding.

[DaBuddaDa]

at this point I' starting to get more concerned about quality of the game than its funding.

These things always have a severe pivot point where the funding slows down to a trickle until the very end. They're incredibly front-loaded. The question is when is that pivot going to occur? I wouldn't be too sure of its funding yet.

Lol @ the video. I also didn't know Fallout and Fallout 2 existed when 3 came out :(

Did you think they slapped a 3 at the end of the title for shits and giggles?

[Ultimadrago]

Lol @ the video.
