Is it good? Is it DRM-free?

For starters Jason is a programmer. And that list doesn't help to drive your point across seeing how programming was horrid in all Troika games (also his part in F2 was minimal because he left).
Second - Fargo has absolutely nothing to do with Fallout. And Wasteland was when? Which isn't a good game by today's standards. And what shit did he release since then in InXile? Nothing but shit.

Your post is a yet another proof that Codexers are sucking off "celebrities" in Kickstarter.

WTF? In Bloodlines Anderson was creative director, level builder, and scripter. Tim Cain, on the other hand, is credited as a "programmer".

In Arcanum he is credited as both project leader and lead programmer.

In Fallout he's credited as a lead artist.

So, basically, being one of the key people involved in creating the above games means nothing to you.

Meantime, at Kickstarter, Mr Allen has gathered 112K and has 3 days to go. Can he make it?!

 

[DwarvenFood]

Incidentally, these used to be a thread about a zombie survival game here on the 'Dex, that one made by some former army dude. He eventually started a kickstarter which failed. I think that so far the system is working pretty good ? Also, skyway gonna skyway.

You know, I just realized that this guy is starting a kickstarter to get funds to do a real kickstarter with a publisher. That's pretty messed up.

Yeah, it is. And if they do manage to scrape that money together, I wonder if the publisher will be like "Hmmm, how about we make this a liiiittle more accessible for the newer players?"

Even worse, if he gets the money and the publishers don't want the game, the money will just dissapear in his hands, no refunds for the donators since he never promised a game, just to try to make one...

He added a PG bleeped video and handled pretty well the critic:

"Bleeping" the video to attract a bigger audience? You are supposed to make this VIOLENT game for a specific audience of patient grown-ups, not for everyone and their mother (literally). Are you going to listen to people saying "I want to be able to shoot people with my kids"? I don't think that's a good sign for your project.


Christian Allen, Serellan LLC about 2 hours ago
@Alesander Just to be clear, I added a SECOND video on youtube with the bleeps (the original is still on the KS page). Looks like you can't win on the internet.

This guy is just to stressed and butthurt to do anything....when the project fails, I expect a raging FUCK YOU INTERNET post...

Well at least it provides some entertainment.

 

[Stabwound]

I have a sick feeling of schadenfreude watching this guy and his kickstarter fall apart at the seams.

Unfortunately, there's nothing stopping him from relaunching the kickstarter again. I don't think he'll be able to ever reach his goal, though, especially considering he'll probably get zero media attention the second time around.

 

[LundB]

I do hope he succeeds, for two reasons:
A: There's the remote chance it might actually succeed and not be shit. That would be nice.
B: Maybe if 'development' continues past Sunday, we'll get more lulz out of this guy.

However, there is no way I would ever put down a cent of my own money for this. Reason B isn't enough to pay money for, and Reason A seemed unlikely before, but even more so now that it's clear how unprofessionally things are being done. Still, good luck Christian Allen, I guess.

You got it all wrong. See, it's possible to withdraw your pledge. (Manage pledge, scroll way down to the button). So what everyone shoudl do is pledge a shitton of money so it looks like the project will succeed, then withdraw their pledges when there's a fe whours left. The butthurt would be Majestic™

I endorse this plan. Somebody post it in on /b/ and /v/

The butthurt might be from an unexpected direction. Given how incompetent many 4channers are, I'm sure that if enough people did this, at least one kid who used his mommy's credit card to pledge a ton of $$$ would encounter some difficulties unpledging, and the project would actually end up funded thanks to his 'generous' $xx,000 donation.

The resulting butthurt would be even funnier than if the project actually failed. Also, it would be interesting to see how Kickstarter itself would address such an issue.

 

[Ulminati]

Having some kind of horrible consequence for some dope who pledged the max amount on their card (or mum's) would be hilarious.

Anyone got an account on rpgwatch?

It's an insanely remote chance (as I said, I wouldn't ever put my money into this), but it is possible. Even Skyway has said as much.

After all, if he gets it funded without my money, even if he fails to produce anything, what do I lose?

Especially since it isn't exactly clear how well unpledging really works.

I changed my Wasteland 2 pledge several times and some of the old pledges were still showing up as payment authorizations on my Amazon payments account until I manually removed them.

 

[Johannes]

Lololol 79k$ to raise in 54 hours, gl

 

[Zed]

55k remaining with 28 hours left on the clock.
Do you think he will make it?
I don't think 25% of all funding will happen in the last day... But who knows. Maybe fake backers forget to retract their 10k pledges. That would be something.

 

[Stabwound]

I'm rooting for this one to fail, but I suppose it could be funded with a last minute spike. He's done over $50,000 since the rebranding to Takedown earlier this week, but yeah doing that much again in 24 hours is iffy.

 

[Carrion]

This project did have a lousy start so I suppose it's entirely possible that they reach their target. However, I'd guess that they end up with something like 180k.

 

[Ulminati]

Maybe if his target audience didn't have to borrow their mums credit card to pledge
