Chad Moore recent post on Linked.
I.e. the game him and Anderson is working on is indeed a new game, and not anything concurrent.

It would be funny if four of them are inXile games. (Wasteland 3, Wasteland 1 remaster, Wasteland: Frostpoint, Bard's Tale 4 console version)

But why doesn't it include Choplifter HD? It's also on Steam! :D

Or is Inxile trying to put on a the facade of a prestigious RPG-only company? :D

Notice: At the request of the publisher, Choplifter HD is unlisted on the Steam store and will not appear in search

Well, it's definitely them trying to look like a prestigious RPG studio, then! :D

Top Sellers

Oh, I was surprised that The Bard's Tale Trilogy is above ToN, but apparently this is sort of "current top selling" thing (looking at other publisher pages).

Heh, it's removed from sale from February this year. This is probably a good IP MS to make use of as part of casual game line-up. IIRC inXile also has other casual game IPs they bought in 2000s, like Line Rider. This was a good purchase then, MS!

 

[Infinitron]

Line Rider 2 was on Steam once, but was taken down years ago.

 

[LESS T_T]

I didn't know there were layoffs at inXile after they ship ToN.

Brian Fargo wrote the foreword for a book about the Fallout series by some French gamejourno:

Also their new Studio Tech Director is Vassilios Mavros, formerly worked at Obsidian's tech group during the days of Dungeon Siege 3 and Alpha Protocol: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vassilios-mavros-695778/

He worked at a VR company just before inXile, so I guess that makes him a good fit for inXile.

Was following this on a Swedish Ebay type of site. It just expired, no bids, and the opening bid was set at 199 kr, around 20 US dollars. Pretty brutal considering it's supposed to be unique and so on. Fallout boxes and stuff like that usually go for around 60-80 dollars otherwise.

Unreal 4

So that’s it for old school games from Inxile, then? And when that action game - I’m already seeing Wasteland getting the Bethesda treatment here - flops horribly... what will the epitaph say?

That's a shame, I was thinking of trying to get rid of it.
Guess not, like I couldn't get rid of the W2 shitty metal box either. Of course, I didn't try for $20, but I'd rather keep it than getting just $20 for it.

 

[Alienman]

Yeah, 20 bucks seems a bit desperate.

Hmm maybe if he had put it at 200 euro.

I'd buy it for 20 bucks

I read that duck tweet and I must admit that I chuckled.

Without the publishers, you wind up with more ducks than the Bible.
