hm sounds like it. *-* didn't say anything about music though...
if there is confirmation on this I'll need to change my pants.
Well in that little flavor text section it says
"Damonta has everything a weary traveler could wish for, motel, bar, garage, diner, fresh water, scenic attractions, the best oldies station in Arizona"

damn you're right. I somehow only noticed the "howlin' " part at the beginning.
this is excellent, I just hope they'll have a slightly wider array of songs compared to fallout:nv, where the songs (while being awesome) just kept looping over and over after some time.
I have to agree fully with your hope. I still listen to Fallout 3's soundtrack from time to time, but I found New Vegas's too small for some reason. The immersion created by that touch made Fallout 3 a richer experience for me. Still, the more I see of Wasteland 2, the more I want to play it!
I hope the OST is nothing like Fallout 3's. Gimme dat ambient Mark Morgan goodness.

why not both.
good thing about radio or jukeboxes or similar stuff is that you can turn it on and off. at least in most cases.
edit: okay that's how it is:
Because licensing music is expensive.

that's another (certainly true) point. but just now it sounded like it would bother you if it was in the game
I was talking about FO3's "epic soundtrack" by Inon Zur.
I doubt the game will feature licensed songs, maybe one or two like in the old fallout games but a full-on radio ala fallout 3 is probably a big nope.
I think the radio is gonna be more like a feedback thing for your actions, like ranger hq mentioning on the ramifications of your last mission and such

Nice update. Where's the damned gameplay systems talk, though?

Oh, sure.
Wasn't the update just before this one a gameplay one though? We've now talked about the character system, and talked about and shown combat, dialog and inventory. I certainly have plans for digging deeper into such systems in future updates, revisiting them, etc, but suggestions are welcome; what gameplay systems talk is damned? Skills follow-up is on the list, if that's the question.

On that note, will skills affect starting equipment? It sorta bummed me on Fallout that my guy with a high energy weapon skill started with a 10mm pistol(although that'd probably be hard to balance).

New update is out. Looks like they're partnering with Deep Silver to handle distributing the game and the physical backer rewards.
JPEG compression makes me sad.

I don't care for the "customization" of the UI, but I never did from day one. I want the default to be nice and functional, and that's good enough for me. This UI design in general is a HUGE improvement over the original one they showed with the gameplay video. The biggest and best change is the way text is displayed. Changing it from a computer read out thing into typewriter text makes it so much easier to read and focus on. Great decision there.
The rest looks nice too, but I probably won't be able to tell how good it is in functionality until I actually get my hands on it.

Agree, I'm quite hyped.

Could use a little more polish, but the core of it is nice. Very 80s tech with the PCB/module/dot matrix printer feed. Also, Highpool and descriptive text logs!!!

hate to be that person but I kinda liked the old UI more :S
I mean there are some good changes here but the style still seems a bit "too much". I hoped for something simpler than that.

I've been missing a lot of updates, is this still on course for an October release? Just curious, looking like I'm gonna have a gap between September and March, would be nice timing

I like how the UI is so minimalist, and that even with this you guys have managed to give it a 'cobbled-together-from-bits-of-destroyed-tech' look.
Yes
Thanks for posting, pretty cool interview.

HOLY SHIT! Love the look.

This just reinforces everything I thought about this project, and inXile in general at this point. I continue to be glad I backed this project and Torment, while at the same time happy I didn't put anything towards the development of a certain other KS project that wasn't so frugal with its spending of the money fans gave them.
