去blog看了两篇Brian Fargo的博文，似乎很值得期待
摒弃了与发行商的博弈，又一次完全由开发者主导。
短短四十多个小时就集资近百万，欧美玩家的RPG情结当真不可小觑...
前两天还看到消息，不少知名制作人如暗黑三的Jay Wilson都公开对这一项目表示支持
接下来就看成果如何了

刀寒入骨

得益于最新开发模式下的产物, 先付钱后开发

4天2万4千人集资126万美元，看来在kickstarter上会比double fine adv更成功，不知道能不能像oots那样翻个20倍

关于WASTELAND 2的采访
http://www.gamebanshee.com/inter ... nd-2-interview.html

GB: Assuming the game reaches or exceeds its funding goal, how long do you anticipate it will be before the game is ready for release? With over a year's worth of development under your belt already, is it possible we could be playing Wasteland 2 in 2012 yet?

Brian: We are gearing everything towards a ship in

October 2013.

GB: Unfortunately, role-playing games have lost much of their original identity in recent years, thanks in part to the popularity of first-person action RPGs. How do you convince a newer or younger RPG fan who has grown accustomed to the action-focused titles to give Wasteland 2 a shot?

Brian: Well here is the beauty of fan funding... we don't have to convince some younger RPG player of anything. I am making this game for the wonderful fans who put their money behind us and not some nebulous group of new people. Let's make the game they all expect and let the chips fall where they may. There is just no way I'm going to consider anything that could let down the core.

With just about one and a half times the necessary funding for the game already promised through Kickstarter, Fargo is already planning how that extra money is going to be used. “Having more money means the writers will get to make the game broader and deeper. The bigger music and sound budget means more great music from Mark Morgan. [我觉得没人比他更适合给 废土2 谱曲了] It also allows for more varied environments, more character portraits and interesting effects like having radiation clouds that float move over areas.”

“In addition to more locations, we’ll have the manpower to create more layered effects based on what the player is up to. Cause and effect is everything in a good RPG so triggering based off more variables makes for a better world. This can range from having hundreds of different NPC dialogue remarks based on who is in the party, encounters that react to what you look like, scenes that open up based on how violent you were or perhaps how low your intelligence is.   [这不属于创新，而是早就为玩家津津乐道的设计 XD]This kind of depth is what made Wasteland 1 so good.”

Prior to the Kickstarter campaign, InXile believed it would take around eighteen months to finish Wasteland 2. The studio remains committed to that deadline, but mod tools for the game may not be available right when it releases according to Fargo.

Here’s a big, bouncy ball of unexpected good news for you. Brian Fargo and his studio inXile Entertainment are, as you well know, working on a sequel to the seminal RPG Wasteland, and have successfully Kickstarted it to the tune of $1.6 million. Since exceeding their initial target of $900,000, they’ve been able to add Mac and Linux versions to their masterplan for the post-nuclear roleplaying game. But that’s not all. They’ve just been in touch to say that, if they can reach $2.1 million during the 17 days remaining on the funding schedule, they’ll be bringing in Obisidian Entertainment, including Planescape: Torment mastermind Chris Avellone, to help them make the game.

Oh my word. The minds behind Fallout and Planescape, together. A veritable RPG supergroup. This has to happen.

Says Chris Avellone, “Wasteland is one of my favorite RPGs of all time, and when Brian asked if I wanted to work on the sequel, I jumped at the chance. While I’ve worked on Fallout 2 and Fallout: New Vegas, getting the chance to work on the spiritual successor to the Fallout franchise is a honor.”


新世纪RPG梦之队要诞生了吗？

免费发售么？

最新采访：
http://www.nowgamer.com/features ... play_interview.html

DC:What can you tell us about your plans for Wasteland 2 in terms of gameplay, visual themes etc? Will it remain true to the original?  

Brian Fargo: We are going to build upon all the elements that made Wasteland great. You control of a group of desert rangers in the southwest part of the states who are seeking to restore some law and order into a post apocalyptic world.

But despite their mission of restoring peace it is up to the players to decide the morality of their choices. We will not preach what behavior to take and nor will every negative thing you do necessarily turn into something bad happening to you.

The game will be party based like the original, feature modern day weapons for combat and use the skill system that everyone loved so much. Visual themes will run the gamut from desolate and bleak to cities that are attempting to recover from destruction.  


DC: What are the most prominent pros and cons of going down the crowd-sourced indie route for you as a developer? Should more, bigger studios consider this route to sound out new ideas and give fans what they want?  

Brian Fargo: The pros are as stated above which is that we get to focus without chasing money or managing the politics of a publisher. We also have very clear direction of what the fans want thus taking out some of the guess work.

I can't think of any cons that wouldn't exist with a publisher or investor also. I would be quite surprised if a larger publisher tried to raise money from Kickstarter since they are the ones that have most the money in the industry.

I'm hoping that Kickstarter especially offers an avenue of financing for the endangered species of the mid size developer. I threw out the concept of sharing profits from Kickstarter projects via Kickingitforward.org and there are 12 projects signed up within days. That is a great sign for things to come.

2.1M达成，MCA将参与设计咯。
下一个“目标”，2.5M会再雇佣两个设计师。

http://www.vg247.com/2012/04/11/ ... rgo-on-wasteland-2/


VG247: What do you hope Chris Avellone and Obsidian will bring to Wasteland? Where do they fit in?

Brian Fargo: The first Wasteland game was created by a half dozen designers that were all given an area of the game for them to flex their creative muscle. We would often assign things to that designer to make sure they gave away some item or a plot element was introduced but what they did with that level was up to them. This is the exact same process for which we have many of the original designers plus Chris.

In addition Chris will weigh in with his opinions on conversations systems, UI and the like. Obsidian also has several tools that assist in getting assets in quickly, and the faster we get assets in, the quicker we can test and re-iterate. InXile will control the overall process of integration and continuity.


VG247: What sort of game are you hoping to create? It’ll be reminiscent of ’90s “golden age” RPGs, obviously, but how so? What sort of battle system are you hoping to implement? What sort of stat progression are you looking at? Is it linear or can players choose how they want to evolve their characters? Is the game party-based? Where will it be set?

Brian Fargo:There are so many elements of Wasteland that worked quite well and we plan to build upon that foundation rather than start over from scratch. Those elements are the sandbox type world, dark humor, party based combat, tactics in battle and a skill based system. However, combat isn’t going to consist of scrolling text so clearly we need to up the tactics part of the game.

And we don’t want the tactics SO deep that you feel disconnected from the world by being in long battles all the time. The last thing we want is someone groaning every time combat pops up. The game is going to take place shortly after Wasteland 1 ends. And by the way for everyone who remembers little Bobby – he is pissed off having been shot by Rangers and left for dead.

VG247: You’re making Wasteland 2 with old-school RPG fans in mind, so what do you, personally, miss the most about those games? Do you think they went away out of necessity, or because misinformed investors willed it so?

IBrian Fargo: think I have articulated above many of the elements that I miss as a player. There is just a certain charm that comes from a game where the developers get to tinker and riff with new ideas during the process. The games just felt so connected in their humanity. Slick and polish only goes so far… it is always the human moments we remember. There is just no way the publishers can maintain their infrastructures selling just 500K or even a million copies of a game so they moved into categories or formats that could. If we sell a million copies of Wasteland 2 we will be bringing you RPGs for another decade!

我担心没有发行商的监督和督促，单纯靠这些制作者的热情能否用好这笔钱。
毕竟游戏产业是一门生意，毫不妥协的追求自己的目标，有时候不会带来最佳的结果。
这些人如此高调的宣扬，在我看来一旦失败可能会给kickastart这种funding方式带来很不好的影响。我自己目前也在支持三款游戏的开发，krater, xenoaunts 和 starfarer, 但是我暂时不准备支持这款游戏，他们高调宣传的方式令我怀疑他们是否真的有料。只能祈祷了。

我不知你是怎么得出“高调宣扬“这个结论的。目前关于废土2网上的官方视频不过3个，概念图1张，媒体采访也不超过10篇，剩下的也就是inxile网站上的几篇博文。我倒真希望再高调出更多料看看。

”游戏产业“这门”生意“，本人懂得不多，不予评价。
