Monte Carlo Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 ...but when do you think we might see a screenie or two? Thanks in advance, MC
Gorth Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 Yeah, the project is already two days old. Slackers... “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Hornet85 Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 This is Kickstarter which means the project hasn't started yet. I don't think they have even decided on the engine, which again is something that can only be done once the project get going.

I would bet a virtual six pack of beer that they are going to use Onyx for a number of reasons. It's internally developed and supported, it seems stable and they have experience with it and its tool sets already. Dungeon Siege III runs on it, as does the current in development South Park game. Two very different types of games, both visually and game mechanics wise. At least seen from the outside, it looks like an obvious choice. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Audiocide Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 How long did it take for Wasteland 2 sreenshots to surface?
Gurkog Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 Some games, like Dead State and Grim Dawn, were well into development before running a Kickstarter campaign, but Eternity, Shadowrun Returns, a bunch of adventure games and Wasteland 2 had nothing. Well... they had a bunch of developers brooding over the possibility to revisit franchises and scratching the itch to expand upon them. Eternity is a bit different because it is a spiritual successor and not a blatant sequel or derivative of an original series. Grandiose statements, cryptic warnings, blind fanboyisim and an opinion that leaves no room for argument and will never be dissuaded. Welcome to the forums, you'll go far in this place my boy, you'll go far! The people who are a part of the "Fallout Community" have been refined and distilled over time into glittering gems of hatred.

WorstUsernameEver Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 How long did it take for Wasteland 2 sreenshots to surface? A month or so after the Kickstarter finished? And truth be told, I think Fargo published it kinda grudgingly.
Monte Carlo Posted September 17, 2012 Author Posted September 17, 2012 I'd be happy with some more concept art and maybe a bigger look-see at that map.
Pop Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 Josh says the game is in the very early stages of development. In all likelihood they've got sketches and maybe a pre-alpha tech demo, if the tools have been built. Josh also says that he couldn't get the blog post w/ party size clarification and the like done today, it's tentatively out tomorrow. Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!
Majek Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 I'd be happy with some more concept art and maybe a bigger look-see at that map. December. 1.13 killed off Ja2.
alanschu Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 Sawyer was on Something Awful commenting that the storm has taken them by surprise, so they aren't as organized as they could be
Monte Carlo Posted September 17, 2012 Author Posted September 17, 2012 I'm a bit surprised too, but in a good way.
