Doug Williams Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 This is very cool. The fans are funding the development of a game that *they* want. I'll donate, for sure. [commercial url removed] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnergoz Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I for one wish the makers of Steel Panthers would go the kickstarter route and come out with a true 3-D updated version of that game...TBS of course, and covering all the major wars from the 1930's on. "I'd buy that for a dollar!" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Williams Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 Kickstarter seems like a good way for developers and players to get the games that they want, VS some soulless publisher dictating what they think we want. I donated $50 to the Wasteland 2 project, which means, when complete, I get the boxed game, paper manual, and cloth map. Did you notice the comments of the CEO's of Blizzard and Bioware? I wager they will be watching this in the hope that perhaps they can regain creative control of their companies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Williams Posted April 5, 2012 Author Share Posted April 5, 2012 I have been censored, and reprimanded for my flagrant violation of forum rules. Well, that is a bit dramatic. "Moon" informed me that no commercial (i.e. not BFC related if it involves the transfer of funds), links are allowed on these forums. I informed "Moon" that I have been a loyal customer of Big Time Software since the initial release of Combat Mission, Beyond Overlord, and that I have also been a vocal supporter of Big Time Software (now Battlefront.com) since their beginning, but that fell on deaf ears. And, you know what, I really don't blame Moon. He is the forum administrator, he has a job to do, and he is doing it...and he is doing it well. Please.....take a moment to do a Google search on Wasteland 2. Developers, including Battlefront, Blizzard, Bioware, and others, are being gobbled up by publishers who don't give a rat's ass about quality and creativity in our hobby, computer games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranger33 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I'm on board with alpha funding, I have Desura and will plop down $10 here and there for something that looks cool and I can try out today, but I can't bring myself to invest in something that might take years to arrive, if at all. It seems others have no problem with it though, so I will happily let them get the ball rolling. It's a good year for fan favorites rising from the ashes overall, with X-COM (full on reboot from Firaxis and Xenonauts which is closer to the original), and Mechwarrior/MechCommander finally being brought into the modern age. Along with others that I can't recall at the moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can just point me in the general direction or PM me to avoid the forum police. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pak_43 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 For the X-Com reboot go to Eurogamer and search for XCOM:Enemy Unknown (no hyphen in the XCOM is correct) and there's 3 or 4 articles including an interview with one of the devs plus some in-game footage... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Williams Posted May 30, 2012 Author Share Posted May 30, 2012 Wasteland 2 via Kickstarter was a success, to put it mildly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
