Very nice. Mark Morgan da god.

Finally watched the gameplay video they put out and I'm SO freaking impressed. I especially love the text box in the corner that gives you constant observations about your surroundings in the style of Wasteland or a text adventure or a point and click game or a visual novel. It sort of feels like a feature that might get cut though because I could see players being annoyed at text constantly flying at you as your exploring, but I hope it makes it to the final game in some form, whether they make it something you have to trigger yourself by clicking on things or whatever.

Me too. That's a feature that was beloved in Fallout & Fallout 2 as well.

Latest update: Camera / HUD / Keywords Dialog System: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/inxile/wasteland-2/posts/412225

 

[zkylon]

The keywords system being dependant on conversation "tree-level" is actually pretty cool. Seems like it'll feel different and familiar at the same time, I like it.

some new concept art

I can already feel that I will hate these enemies!

haha yeah!

These mad little guys wear bandoliers of mini-nuke grenades and if provoked, will charge shouting "To Titan!" before self-detonating.

 

[Brother None]

New update is up, though it's not super-informative. Figured it's better to put something up than be quiet the entire Torment drive tho. It does have background info on the M.A.D. bombers!

They're asking for feedback for their logo, this is the current version:

 

[zkylon]

why not the original font?

I think that looks really cool, but I never played the first Wasteland.

 

[akira28]

why not the original font?

I like it. It's an old school font like how the Wasteland 2 box would have looked c. 1993.

Reminds me of the old Commanche helicopter game logo.

 

[inm8num2]

why not the original font?

Why not Zoidberg?

 

[zkylon]

Why not Zoidberg?

wat

edit: ah, a meme. because the original font is iconic and this looks close enough for them clearly wanting to make a similar logo?

also I'm not a particular fan of this logo, not sure why but it feels like you just pasted a rusty metal texture on top. and I dunno, I don't get that feeling with say, bioshock:

I guess because it's beveled and fit to in a bigger logo thing so it looks like it's metal placed on somewhere rather than some flying metal letters or something

 

[jett]

Simple is better.

This would make a nifty boxart:

I love how the last bit of that update is a slight shot at Hare Brained Schemes and the negativity surrounding the bs and misinformation they've done since the end of their kickstarter campaign.

Good shit:

DRM-Free Release

We have been getting a lot of questions regarding our plans for DRM-free releases moving forward. To clarify, we are offering the game on as many digital distributors as is viable. Currently we are confirmed on Steam, Origin, and GOG. The Steam and Origin versions will work just like any other games on those services and will not have any additional DRM. The GOG version will be DRM free. We will look at more digital retailers – including other DRM-free ones (such as Desura) – as we get closer to release. As well, we won’t require you to be online to play the game.

We are not currently actively planning any DLC or expansion, since we’re fully focused on delivering our promises with Wasteland 2. It’s not out of the question, but we have made a commitment to 65,000+ people to deliver a fully-complete, bad-ass successor to Wasteland and that’s all we’re concerned with right now. Once the game is released and we can take a deep breath, we’ll evaluate the next best steps for the game and our fans.

Good shit:

yeah after the shadowruns debacle this is some sexy shit

 

[Beautifully Shaped Monsters]

Exactly what I want to hear as well. I'm really hyped for this game!

 

[dude]

Nice to see it coming along so well, I really want another gameplay video

 

[inm8num2]

Same here! I got excited for a moment, but it was still a very nice update.

 

[Fjordson]

Sounds good. I'm still excited to play Shadowrun Returns, but their whole DRM/DLC situation was messy.

Edge interviewed Mr. Fargo: http://www.edge-online.com/features...-a-reality-on-heading-back-to-wasteland/#null

The people here stuck through some rough times. Every creative person’s dream is to be able to make their art in the fashion that works for them. My dream for the next ten years is simple: I want to be doing the same thing I’m doing now.

 

[CushVA]

Like I what I'm hearing about the weapon system

 

[Pinko Marx]

They didn't confirm shotguns. I'm gunna need explicit confirmation of shotguns.

 

[Perkel]

They didn't confirm shotguns. I'm gunna need explicit confirmation of shotguns.

They did. Also they said they will give shotguns special shells like FNV had.

 

[zkylon]

yes they did

 

[trab pu kcip]

We've posted a few logo takes here, tweaked our work based on feedback, and even got some good submissions from fans. Now we're running a poll on the forums, with a mix of our and fan-made versions to pick from. Head over to the Ranger Center and vote (you will need to register)

really dig the third one
seems like they took our advice

 

[AstroZombie]

Much better.

 

[trab pu kcip]

Much better.

it's not decided though. it's up for voting

If you look at the poll results it sort of is

well does it say anywhere how much time is left? (I'm blind sometimes)

 

[AstroZombie]

I don't think it does.

 

[inm8num2]

I think this one is pretty great, too.

 

[zkylon]

I kinda like this one:

though I'd rather it had the original font without the tilty thing, but the colors just look alright.

number 3 and 5 are nice but they don't really feel like logos.

 

[pa22word]

I like this one, but it would be much better if they put more emphasis on the "2". Perhaps something like leaving the "WASTELAND" part of the logo as is, but simply filling in the "2" part with red so that it is starkly contrasted with the black background.

 

[CushVA]

#3 is the way to go. Nice update of the original

 

[trab pu kcip]

new concept sketch *-*

A beefy new Wasteland update is imminent.... Stay tuned.

 

[inm8num2]

Maybe more footage? Release date?

 

[MightyHedgehog]

Better be all about gameplay and the new combat system. Would like to see the new tweaks on the classic health system/permadeath shown.

This weeks update will be a short video about the inventory screen (per twitter)

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Cool. Let's hope it doesn't look too retro.
