Wasteland 2 project on Kickstarter

[Gusington]

My gaming budget is increasing by the day this week...Wasteland 2 added to the list as well as Diablo III and several other titles. I buy maybe 5 titles a year typically so this is big!

My only issue with this set up is the delayed gratification of playing the game after paying for it.

I'm much more of a instant gratification guy.


.... wait for it....

Oh man,  this is the first kickstarter project I finally pulled the trigger on and contributed to...considering the original wasteland...I just felt compelled.

Thanks for posting the link or I would have missed this!

I'm trying to decide how much to fork over.

I'm thinking about upping mine. I kinda want the box and book.

If I get the collector's box edition, do I also get access to the digital download? (or will I have to wait a long time until the box with the DVD arrives?)

Also, it didn't mention if it's available for non-Americans.

I think the faq said that overseas shipping should add 15$

I think you get everything below as well (so the download too). That is how Kickstarter usually works.

That is correct.  What ever level you back you get those items plus everything previous.

I wish I had the spare money lying around to get my own NPC in the game.  How cool would that be!

An interesting interview with Brian Fargo about the game.

Also I settled on the $50 backing, now I get a lesson in patience.


Btw as of right now the funding is at $1,279,401.00 with 30 days still to go.

Patience is certainly the key here.
The expected release date is apparently October 2013.

As of this evening the Wasteland 2 Kickstarter fund has passed the $1.5million mark.

Another big announcement from the Wasteland 2 Kickstarter project.

We have announced a major piece of good news today that inXile has reached an agreement with Obsidian for potential design assistance for Wasteland 2. What that means is that Obsidian's Chief Creative Officer, Chris Avellone, is going to work with our team on the design and writing of the game!  It is important to note that we say "potential" as they will come aboard assuming we hit $2.1 million in funding.

As of this morning the total is just over $1.8 million with 16 days to go.

^ That certainly is interesting news. I think the big name studios are going to sit up an listen now that Kickstarter has become a serious force in game publishing and development.
