Wasteland 2 Kickstarter

Post by quasimodo »

One of the main reasons I hang around this forum waiting for news about Eschalon Book3 is that I love RPGs with TB combat. Since there are so few of these games being made these days I'm always on the hunt for new ones.

If you like TB games you might be interested in this: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/inxile/wasteland-2

You beat me to it. :P

I just saw this and despite the fact that I'm poor I decided to pledge $15. Old-school, turn-based, isometric follow up to the game that inspired Fallout? YES, PLEASE! :mrgreen:

YES. TB is making a comeback!

I hope they get enough in this kickstarter campaign for a Mac release...

I've always thought their had to be a business model for making RPG's somewhere between indie and AAA.

I plan on trying to pony up at least 50, if not 100, next paycheck.

If i could give 5k i would. This game sounds awesome and has the creative teams that i would kill for.

They're over $400,000 already! While I highly doubt this will drum up 3 million like the Double Fine Adventures Kickstarter (which I also backed) did, it's highly likely they will reach their goal of $900,000 and more. Man, I'm really excited about this! :mrgreen:

They'll only need to get it up to $1.5 million. I kicked in my .001% of the goal.

They're at $700,000 as of this writing. The goal of $900,000 seems like almost a sure thing and I think the 1.5 million needed for the Mac release is definitely within play.

Mac release becoming more and more likely...

I real hope this is further indication of TB RPGs coming back into style. Thanks for the link, time to donate!

Over $1 million pledged with more than a month to go, and they've announced Linux support as well if they reach the $1.5 million level or above.

Sweet, I think they'll have no problem hitting the 1.5 million mark so we'll most likely get a PC/Mac/Linux release.
