Another $10,000 pledge!

It's a reference to Brian Fargo's Wasteland alter-ego, Faran Brygo.

10 hours. I'm a bit concerned that it might slow down now, although I guess they'll make it if they have a month to go.

http://kotaku.com/5893009/that-wasteland-2-kickstarter-is-under-way Heh, because Fargo keeps mentioning Interplay so much, the Kotaku commenters keep confusing inXile with Herve Caen's Interplay and mentioning the Fallout Online lawsuit and settlement.

Yeah, I'll definitely be working on it. It should have a better skin soon. We've been going through MediaWiki 1.18 upgrades lately, and I've been going through stomach flu lately, but it'll definitely be my focus. Content-wise, we've already made some improvements compared to the Wikia wiki. :)

Well, to be fair, Kotaku did give it some nice coverage before the Kickstarter launch: http://kotaku.com/5885882/why-people-give-a-shit-about-a-1988-pc-role+playing-game So I'm sure they'll post about it too.

I've already talked to Fargo about translating it into Polish as well.

Still, with quite a lot of people longing for a proper old-school cRPG, I think they have a pretty good shot.

Dunno, the Bear Dude kinda sounds like a mutant to me. And they're not allowed.

RPG Codex should be a bunch of crazies with Rocket Propelled Grenades.

Damn you, Autoduel76, I had this avatar here first! Now I mistake your posts for mine.

Well, it's not really a big deal with NPCs named after real people. They'd have to come up with some names for them anyway, and names taken from real people who donate are as good as any. And a "No Mutants Allowed" bar sounds pretty natural in the setting anyhow.

"No Mutants Allowed" would make a fine name for a bar.

EA can't remake it themselves since inXile has rights to the Wasteland trademark, but they still have some rights to the original game itself. I have an idea, though. Maybe EA should now make Fountain of Dreams 2? :)

I'd prefer something new rather than a remake. And I'm not even sure if they'd be allowed to make a remake, given that EA still has some rights to the original game.

Well, expecting it to surpass Double Fine is not very realistic. But at the current rate, I'm pretty certain that the game will get at least the required $900k.

Yeah, donating it for a contest sounds like a good solution to me.

But he wants something that only comes with the $100+ reward (special thanks in the credits) without any of the physical stuff that comes with it. If he selects a lower-tiered reward, it doesn't include the "special thanks" bit.

Well, it's very early morning in the United States, I'm sure it'll get more coverage when America wakes.

Just over 2 hours.
