Developers sitting idle is lost money and nobody wants that. InXile is not THAT small.

If you were wondering, there explanation is in this blog post: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/inxile/wasteland-2/posts/420739

There's also a shorter explanation on the KS page for Torment, and I'm fairly sure they mentioned it in the video.  So it's all pretty hush hush and only the die hard fan know about this stuff.

There's a good number of people who worked on PS: T who are working on this, and they're talking to even more people who developed PS: T. With stretch goals, they also got the guy who wrote the setting for Planescape and the setting for Numenera.

From what I've read, this is less "We have an idea! Give us money so we can try and make it happen!" and more of an alternate funding method from investing the profits from the last project into the new one. That reinvestment is a safer method, sure, but crowdfunding appears to be working for them.

Well it looks like the kickstarter hit is dry up point.

Backed Wasteland 2 and just backed this too.  Personally I love that Kickstarter has enabled these kinds of games to make a comeback, and I hope this mode of game development continues to be successful.  I read some guy complaining about how industry vets were profiting from Kickstarter but newer devs were losing out, to which all I can think is having browsed a lot of other projects there is an awful lot of absolute junk out there, and it seems entirely right that skilled and experienced devs be able to work off the back of previous successes and reputation to bring us something new.  Only downside is I have to remember to save some money for the Toad for the next DF release.

It's at $2,693,405 right now.

Come on, I really want this game to hit 3m.

Well, it slowed down a lot, but i think they will hit 3.5 milions, it will speed up on the end

I don't think it will. For the most part I think what happened in this game's case is that everyone interested in the project was there at the start.

[Leatra]

So, It managed to hit 3m with only 10 days left and they added new stretch goals.

Now I really want this game to hit 3.5m

Kickstarters pretty much always speed up at the end. All the people that have been following it and are thinking about buying it but haven't are forced to either get it or not, usually that results in a pretty big bump int he last few days.

[lordcooper]

It's gonna hit 3.5 for sure.

[Orangebottle]

When this game hits patrick rothfuss-tier, it's an instant buy for me.
People with money pls.

How is this thread not bigger ?

They have assembled a amazing dream team and their overall proposal and tech demo got me really excited. I invested the exorbitant amount of 25 Obamas into it, this is the only Kickstarter project I will ever back.
