Recently, I was asked about Wasteland, and the answer became complicated enough that I decided to respond to here. In short, I

I have serious doubts about this venture. Double Fine's success is due to the fact that there haven't been many adventure games since the 90s and the people behind it (Tim and Ron) were responsible for the best adventure games out there. They are respected and admired by the adventure games community. As for Wasteland, I believe the target audience is quite smaller. Furthermore, I don't exactly see Fargo as having a fanbase/community or having an history of having designed good games, apart from Wasteland. I'll be surprised if he gets 50K$. I guess it will depend a lot on what he can commit that he'll do. Even better, if he can show already some work done. But maybe I'm wrong on this. We'll see. As for Obsidian, having the people behind FO 1 & 2, ID, PS:T, having developed KotoR II and New Vegas, and also having a community... it's a whole different story. I'm confident Obsidian would raise 1 M$ at minimum. And this raises the question: when will Obsidian start their kickstarter project?
