So I ask a few long time friends at publishers to tweet about the #Wasteland #kickstarter as a favor and they refuse to help. Disappointing.

Let there be no doubt it can only be the fans that can make a #wasteland 2 happen


I want to bring back the wonderful kind of RPG's that were made in the 90's. Old school baby...


I think anyone who wanted a proper #Fallout sequel that was more like the first two will he very happy with our direction with #Wasteland.

Help! I can't see anything because my monitor is covered in cum!!!

So first he says the game will be like Wasteland and now he says the game will be like Fallout? Give yourselves a shake, because the two games are radically different in terms of graphics, engine and what it can do. Which type of game will it be? The guy's just as much of a liar like any dudebro trailer. He has decades worth of experience as a CEO and marketing guru, he knows exactly what to say to get people hyped up. To me it's pretty clear he will try to have the hardcore fans fund a game that he will ultimately try to bring to a wider audience.

Yeah this is a little confusing. It's not like there's anything wrong with a game that is like a true Fallout 3, but if it's supposed to be a Wasteland sequel like he keeps harping on about then I don't know. That makes he sound like he just wants to make Fallout 3 by a different name.

Well, most of the people on the Wasteland forum are people who haven't played Wasteland and want a proper Fallout 3. Lots of people are suggesting ideas to make it more like Fallout rather than Wasteland. Some have suggested having a single character and others have suggested the use of Fallout's colour scheme. Perhaps he's already being influenced?

How could you even make a Wasteland 2 today that wouldn't resemble Fallout in some form? I don't see what's the problem with that statement.

Fallout was the spiritual successor to Wasteland. If they wanted to make it EXACTLY like Wasteland they could have done it already with Fallout. And I think it's pretty clear that it can't be a carboncopy of Wasteland. Personally I expect something like Fallout just with some JA2 put in. Actually, I hope it will have a lot of JA2 in it.

I just hope the game will remain top down. Otherwise, I'll be so pissed off I'm not sure I'm even going to donate. Wasteland isn't Fallout. I don't need Fallout 3, I need Wasteland 2. Fallout fans can go to hell as far as I'm concerned.

There's nothing wrong with having faith or being naive when it comes to a genre you're passionate about. Let's all pray for a little miracle.

That's enough for one coder to live in luxurious accomodations between a hookers oversized buttocks for 10 years and still produce a playable game between coke snorts.

Also, regarding concept art. You should have pulled something better than that, as that's essentially just a reproduction of a valley in China, which name I forget.
