The Kickstarter for Wasteland 2 will soon be concluded and will be funded with well over $2.5 million raised. Brian Fargo posted on the site talking about what an amazing experience it has been.
“I am very anxious to start diverting all of my energies to production of the game itself,” said Fargo. “I am constantly asked about other projects I might consider, but for now it is Wasteland, Wasteland, Wasteland.”
“Also we have spent some time thinking about and asking fans what we could put into the $30 tier to make it more interesting and to not disrupt what has already been offered,” he added. “I think we have come up with an interesting list that may persuade a few people to upgrade.”
Now, those who spend $30 will get an extra download in any format and will gain access to a four-episode Video Development Blog. Those who spend this amount or higher will also receive double the number of Ranger character portraits and a novella by Chris Avellone based on the universe of Wasteland.
“Also we will have a live streaming party on Monday night (16th) from 10 p.m.-12 a.m. EDT to celebrate the green light of production on the game,” said Fargo. “Our Kickstarter does not close until 5am the next morning, but we wanted to get some of our friends and family together to celebrate this little bit of history and share it with you. On attendance will be Nolan Bushnell the founder of Atari, Chris Avellone and a few other surprise guests. We will be answering questions received through live chat on the TwitchTV stream as well as from Facebook fans.”
