Early Access for Wasteland 2 was only for particular tiers when pledging for Wasteland 2. I believe it was above $55 or something. Anyway, I doubt early access is part of the deal with Project Eternity. -
I'm having this thread serve as our go-to thread to discuss any problems people are having with the item and NPC surveys on the backer portal. As such I have renamed it.

You have no idea how much work it will take. The developers have stated they believe adjusting for controllers will require concessions. And I'm skeptical of the idea that you somehow know more than they do in this regard.

I play on consoles. I, and everyone else I know, don't have their consoles hooked up in a way where using a keyboard is all that feasible. We use them in living rooms and off couches. Not at desks. Because we, the backers, paid for a PC game. If Obsidian wants to, after the game is done, try and make a PS4 port that mandates mouse and keyboard with no controller concessions without using backer money, I have no complaint. I just don't think it'll be a wise investment for them.

We didn't fund it for a PS4 version. And I think a good number of the backers would consider it widely inappropriate if the funding they pledged went into producing a PS4 version. Project Eternity isn't being designed as a game that supports mouse and keyboard. It's being designed as a game that mandates mouse and keyboard. Any efforts to support other input devices are, in my opinion, to be strongly fought against. There's too many concessions required to make it function. And a PS4 game with mandatory mouse and keyboard isn't going to end up being well received by those who are looking to play from the console, anyway.

A semi-common problem for physical reward tiers seems to be not realizing country and state are dropdowns. Obviously this doesn't apply to the OP, but some of you may be having the problem the same as I. Double check those two entries, type in only two letters and then click what drops down.

I think that's actually a drop-down menu, such that what you type into it isn't actually a selection, even if it's the "same" string of characters as a valid selection. There's nothing visually denoting that as a drop-down menu, as opposed to a simple text-entry field, which is confusing. Same with State. Someone might want to slap a little down-arrow button onto those two bits. Anywhoz... try typing PART of your country name, wait for the list to pop up, then click on your country name to select it from the list. I bet it'll work then. I THINK WE HAVE A WINNER! Thanks a lot.

Do I want more?! The answer is an obvious no, because I'm a contrarian. I kind of need to know the give/take on the choices to be honest. Without stretch goals, do you focus on shipping and polishing what's already planned? With stretch goals might the release get pushed back, but you expect funding to make another leap that wouldn't happen otherwise?

Resurrection is an interesting one. Whedon wrote the script and he the one thing he's always said about it is he's amazed at how they followed so much of what he wrote, but emphasised all of the wrong parts which left it coming across as wildly different to how he wrote it. Something along the lines of "Technically, they followed the script. But in reality, it was completely wrong." I do like a lot of what they did in Resurrection. They showed the Aliens as more capable and intelligent than previous movies. The scene where the Aliens kill one of their own to use its acid blood to create an escape is practically ripped straight from my favorite scene in the comics/novels.

Heh, did you know Michael Biehn refuses to watch Alien 3, because he felt that Hicks deserved a much better death sequence? Something along the lines that for all the effort he put into shaping the character in Aliens, there shouldn't have been some glossed over "panning shot of Hicks with chest exploded" as the end of that character. Didn't know it, but not surprised by it. Cameron also thought 3 was disrespectful to the characters last I heard. The one thing I really don't like about this script is it's all Hicks. Ripley's in a coma then shoved into a lifepod. That's it.

William Gibson's Alien 3 script Pretty good. Needs more Ripley.

Virtue's Last Reward This is somewhat bizarre. Okay, it's 90% the same tone as the last game, 999, but the final 10% is just wacky enough that I don't know how to feel. So it's a game about people who got kidnapped and are forced to play a game in a complex with puzzles or die. But this time, the guy who's giving instruction is a CGI bunny with a fondness for puns... He's too adorable to take seriously.
