Game News Wasteland 2 Kickstarter Now Live!

[hiver]

If you cut them into really small pieces im sure we can fit them somehow. :D

 

[Haba]

Sell the kids too!

That's a thought. I wonder if their bodies may be put at the Codex's feet

You have holes in your own body as well, don't you?

Maybe the Watch had a donation drive for a shrine, too?

 

[Ausir]

Two of them are Notch and CliffyB.

 

[Azalin]

So do we know who is the kid in the video?Fargo's son?

I wonder if David Gaider is currently sitting in his office and thinking: "Do I, for the rest of my career in video gaming industry will do the same crap for over and over for EA? Or could I take some decent people from Bioware, create my own company and start some Kickstarter project in the spirit of Baldurs Gate2? Without that romance crap and multimillion marketing of interactive movies." Or is he spoiled with EA money and just say "Meh"?

Would you believe me if I told you I'm one of them?

More likely: dgaider and hamburger helper are discussing starting their own company to kickstart a "game" that would be all romances and story and none of this distracting gameplay.

Skyway is unusually quiet about all of this

Yes, that's probably the only option.

He's Ukrainian. Ukrainians don't pay for games.

Gaider did do Ascension, right? That was p. cool of him, to be honest. Bioware didn't even charge $10 for it.

 

[Black]

Two of them are Notch and CliffyB.

CliffyB? That's a surprise, considering it's not a god damn cover shooter.

 

[Ausir]

Just because he makes them doesn't mean it's the only kind of game he likes to play.

Yeah I remember back in the old days when Gaider made Ascencion because he wanted to make ToB better and the battles tougher,then he embraced the dark side turned into Darth Gayder and seems to be happy writting slashfiction along with Hamburger Helper

Ah, im sure they will. Especially if youre in Kwanzania or some liberal western Europe country.
Dont forget to tell them you saved the kids from starvation.

ok, this would be enough i think....

 

[TwinkieGorilla]

Yes. And it's unusually pleasant to be here for once. Don't jinx it.

Anyone else finding it therapeutic spamming the F5 key? I fucking love it...With every press I see a new dawn approaching, Kickstarter and Amazon jewing off the monies notwithstanding.

Seems that it will take just around 15,000 people to make this a reality. 15,000! Here we have been wringing our hands, looking glumly at the Bioturds selling in the millions and whining that we can never have a proper(as opposed to pure indie) old school RPG when all it will take is 15,000 people to make it a reality! I've no doubt that many more will donate and that the devs will be financially secure and churn out the best thing they can. It would already be a success even if no one else buys a copy as the donors would get a game and the devs have employment. Of course even if just 10-20,000 others will buy the game when released and even taking 20 dollars a head(bare minimum based of getting digital versions) that's 200,000 to 400,000 extra for the devs for dividing up or for funding Wasteland 3. So to make a neat profit and make a TB RPG using only crowd funding needs a pathetic 25,000 people! Fucking hell, we can get EVERYTHING old school funded like this!

 

[Lockkaliber]

Told you fags this shit would be good for us.

This is the reason why, going forward, this business model is better for creating high-quality works of art or entertainment than the current model. Interested people chip in, the creators get their funding without becoming the slaves of middlemen and may even make a profit after the dust settles. Actually, this isn't even a new business model. It's a very old business model. This model of patronage of arts was how art was being funded during the middle ages and it worked quite well. Of course, the shit artists hate it because, in this model, nobody is interested in funding them and they get nothing.

Why not? Contrary to popular beliefs, Codex member base isn't necessarily composed of spiteful dirt peasants.

BRO, why so pessimistic? Surely a game like this will sell at least 100,000-200,000 copies...maybe more.

Yeah, it's quite possible, a successful Kickstarted launch is already a hype machine on its own.
