The Kickstarter project is asking for $900k to be viable for the developer at inXile Entertainment. Fargo can ”only thank the fans for this.” It already has over 10k backers and nears $600k.
Hopes are flying high as Tim Schafer’s Double Fine Adventure closed after it’s allotted time with $3.3 million raised thanks to 87, 138 backers. ”WOW!!! You guys are amazing!” declared Fargo.
”The fans are really stepping up here with donations and spreading the word. I haven’t been more excited to make a game in over a decade. It is a dream to focus all my attention on making a wonderful experience without distraction from outside forces. We will not let you down!” As of right now the project has just passed $580,416.
Minecraft’s Notch has apparently donated $10,000 himself to Wasteland 2.
”We cleared 500k in our first day… once again I can only thank the fans for this. So much for old school RPGs not being popular enough. ;)” twittered Brian Fargo.
”The next round is in the hands of the RPG crowd in Europe. I am off to bed for now and I look forward to the morning. Good night all!” he added late last night. Looks like Europe is doing its part. $581,004.
The Wasteland 2 Kickstarter project has 33 days to go before cashing in its chips. At the current rate it’ll make its goal target and then some. The direct sequel will retain the top-down view of the original game, which led to the inception of the Fallout series. It will feature party play and they intend to keep the ”gritty, grim and satirical writing.” $581,547.
