At this rate, everybody will soon see their favourite developer starting some kicks or kicking some starters. Brian Fargo, creator of Wasteland, the game that launched a thousand Fallouts, has espied the queue of well-regarded figures approaching their adoring audience cap in hand and is now seeking a cap of his own. It’ll be a comically large bit of headwear as he wants to cram at least a million dollars into it, which is the estimated cost of funding a Wasteland sequel. The game would be a PC release, with, according to the man’s own Twittertalk, a “complete old school vibe and made with input from gamers. Made the gamers way.” The gamers way often involves eating Wotsits until dawn but perhaps there are other ways and other gamers?


Eurogamer reckon that the million dollar Kickstarter campaign is set to begin next month and Fargo is certainly keen: “You will find a happy game designer if this method of game financing works out.” Judging by the number of veterans now considering the route, aware of audience demand and willingness to trust in a name and pedigree, we could have a lot of happy game designers on our hands. Hopefully that will create lots of happy gamers. I’m going to start moisturising these calloused appendages in anticipation of carting around so many joyous folk.

As for me, I’m hoping a Kickstarter for a sequel to Wolf (and I’m discounting Lion and WolfQuest) is just around the corner.

Its sad to see Fargo searching for a millon dollars when he was the ugly man who dont leave Interplay make his own continuation of Wasteland, and he was an Activision employee. Time just had passed.  .
A new Wasteland (or a new Fallout from Obsidian or STALKER 2) deserves a AAA financing.

Wasteland was like the third game after I finnished the 2 Fallout's. That was in 1999 or 2000 can't remember it was on the time when I got my first PC.

Interesting. Most interesting. I hope for a trve oldskool-style game.
In fact, a remake of wasteland with easier and more comfortable controls would be enough already. But lets see what happens to this.

How naive.

[Lizard]

Have faith.

Faith has gone with Fo3, NV, JA3...

STALKER 2 is still development? Not died?
