The Wasteland RPG from back in the 80s was one of the first computer games I played and I have been going back and firing it up for a playthrough every other year or so.
Now, Bryan Fargo, finally fed up with publishers telling him, "there is no market for that type of game" has gone public funding and put his Wasteland 2 project up at Kickstarter.
He´s bringing the "old gang" (Mike A. Stackpole (I had no idea, he was part of the original Wasteland design team) and Alan Pavlish) together.
The minimum 900.000$ were in about 36 hours after Kickstarter went up, currently at 1.25 mio, which means a larger game. At 1.5 mio, Wasteland 2 will be ported to Mac OS and Linux. After that, who knows?
