And there is the first $5000 backer on board.
Also I hope/expect people like Notch, Schafer etc. to tweet about this as well. That should result in a nice push
Disappoint
The original Shadowrun on SNES is an absolute gem, I'd definitely support a Kickstarter for a sequel to that bad boy.
Avellone is doing his part, though he doesn't have quite the amount of followers those guys have.

Notch seriously needs to give it a shout-out. Dude has 600k+ followers.

A mystery $5000 backer appears, and then Chris Avellone tweets that he has backed the project. Is Fargo going to have to build an Avellone statue?

It's "online" because it is a browser driven f2p game. You create an account and you play it online, but it is still a RPG which you can play alone.

He should put Avellone in the game as a character like in Fallout 1, lol.
Edit: oh fuck that's actually part of the $1000+ tier, lmao. That HAS to happen.

Even though Freespace 3 would be awesome I don't want publishers to start to do this.
Avellone said he dnated 250$, so it's not him...A mystery $5000 backer appears, and then Chris Avellone tweets that he has backed the project. Is Fargo going to have to build an Avellone statue?
Could have been awesome though.

Well Chris Avellone says he only donated $250
Wonder who the $5K person is...

Dammit. It would have been hilariously brilliant to put him in the game as a character, given the relationship Wasteland has to Fallout.
I hope his character in the game is a famous writer who had to move from the city and live in a cabin somewhere to escape from crazy fans who erected a statue in his honor and attempted to deify him. He lament about how fanboys are crazy too, if you talk to him.
Edit: Damnit, he didn't donate 5000 bucks. Lol.
Overhead navigation (like Ultima), first-person turn-based battles (like Bard's Tale).

I am totally an unapologetic Avellone fanboy.
I even forgive him for making that remark about used games! Guy's earned eternal amnesty as far as I'm concerned.

Oh okay, that's good to hear. Surely the fact that it is f2p is a bad sign though, right? That makes me think of iOS games where you have to buy things to progress or properly level-up your character. Ick!
Is it a donation if you're getting something in return?
I noticed my misuse of the word and edited my post to reflect it as a purchase. It's actually a better deal than the DoubleFine one.
Well, when it's out, we can try it before we knock it. It's free after all.

Funded. Hopefully this picks up some steam.

I'll donate some money next month when I actually have some money
I gather there's some rights issues involved, not sure exactly what it entails. Still, GoG have both EA and Interplay, so they're off on the right bat.

Valid point! Thanks for the link, I'll give it a read and stop derailing the thread
It's not a donation and you only pay after the 34 days are over.

pledged 100.
hope it meets its goal.

These things always have a severe pivot point where the funding slows down to a trickle until the very end. They're incredibly front-loaded. The question is when is that pivot going to occur? I wouldn't be too sure of its funding yet.
Lol @ the video.
I also didn't know Fallout and Fallout 2 existed when 3 came out
Did you think they slapped a 3 at the end of the title for shits and giggles?
