Mark Morgan doing the soundtrack?! Awesome! Wondered what that guy was up to.
They were at ~$25k when I first checked the Kickstarter page around 9:30am. So that's $70k in about 2 hours. My guess is that they clear $400-500k in 24 hours.

Fucking amazing, man. Go people with good taste and hope!
And you were so pessimistic-sounding, too. Even if it slows considerably early on, there are so many days left to hit the goal...
Already hit 11% of their original goal, and nearly 7% of the ideal 1.5 mill goal in just a few hours.
Ducky we need more of your pessimism elsewhere, it's a good luck charm.
I know! Isn't it awesome?!

Can anybody give a rough estimate of what they think the specs will be? I use a laptop for all my PC games. I can't run Hard Reset or Anomaly Warzone Earth if that makes a difference.

Well i was wrong. In the other thread i was unsure of how many people would be onboard for a Wasteland sequel. im ecstatic to see the initial momentum!
I know! Isn't it awesome?!
And since I made that post it's jumped up another 5k.
It's going at like a 1k a minute rate.
I think this is one of those situations where everyone who is pessimistic and yet invested in this debate actually hopes we are wrong.

Wait, you're excited for this?

We should think on more uses for your powers.
Pretty pumped to see 100k already, still a long way to go but sounds great (and it´s pretty incredible seeing all the 1000$ backers).
Why would I make a thread about a Kickstarter I care nothing about?

They do international shipping for stuff, but you have to add another 15 dollars for international shipping (check the FAQ on the Kickstarter page)

Thats true.
Also i think that this provides great hope for a lot of "dead" game types. If these kickstarter projects are successful it shows that niche genres and games require budgets that are within the realm of possibility as opposed to double-digit million dollar productions that are associated with gaming today. Reminds me of when Feargus Urquhart stated in an interview that Obsidian could do an old-school isometric game in the style of the IE games for a million or two. i was a little surprised at that then and now Brian Fargos requirements for a fleshed out Wasteland 2.

This is amazing & inspiring to see.
Is the rate faster than Double Fine Adventure?

Fellas at Obsidian have got to be keeping a seriously close eye on this.
Someone get Holland and Kilham on the blower!
I don't believe so. DFA was $400k in eight hours, and I think this is $100k in three hours so far?
That said, I don't know the rate DFA ramped up over time... and despite all that, this is *still* pretty damn speedy.
No but you have to keep in mind Schafer's Twitter has 70k followers.
Just noticed that myself, upped to $65. It's really starting to move now.

so... this should hit the news sites later today. should be great for momentum once it gets coverage
lol
We haven't even sent the press release out this morning! Most of you discovered it live before I could wake up.

... thats what should happen. That being said LucasArts doesn't need a kickstarter for this. If they do it right it would be a money maker.
Gave em $75. I know nothing about wasteland but the developer pedigree makes me drool and the statement that Fallout 1 was supposed to be Wasteland 2 is added bonus. Stackpole not so much though, but his novels are better than those Bioware writers'.
I am probably done with Kickstarter (with the exception of an Obsidian kickstarter) until I see some results from one of these projects. Healthy skepticism and all. Accountability is lacking in this funding model.

This also hasn't really hit the news yet. Much of West Coast is only recently waking up, and gaming websites probably don't have anything about it yet. Should see a nice uptick later in the day.
yeah, that's exactly what I intend to do
You bastard. I don't have time to replay Torment right now ffs, my backlog is approaching critical mass already.
shadowrun what?
Is this real life? Shadowrun is getting rebooted?! Since when?
Yeah there is a isometric ShadowRun game called ShadowRun Online in the works right now. Looks pretty good too.
Its F2P also which doesn't really concern me considering the nature of the genre.
