Nice, though I'm quite disappointed by the quality and support of the Linux ports from the bundles.

The "Kick it Forward" idea is pretty interesting:

amazing project, maybe natively in linux!!! But 1,5 is alot of money i think! i have a question, the pledge of 50$(+15 for international shipping for me) you can adquire the full large boxed copy of Wasteland 2 for PC, ¿the linux version is inside too? ¿or in another/different amount of pledge? Ever if we can reach at 1,5M$ target, i suppose.

glad I took the gamble, I figured that by that time (oct 2013) Wine would have improved even more that it would be no issue to play the game....... now even that will be sorted, they gone hit the 1.5 easly

So have many of you played the original Wasteland? I must admit that I only know of it as the precursor to Fallout.

It's been on my list of games to check out, but that list only seems to grow longer and longer.

I guess we made enough of an uproar for them to notice us. I should know - was part of it. ;)

Thanks!

I see they have even reaffirmed Linux support in an update:
Quote"At the $1.5 Million level we will be adding a Linux version along with the Mac OS X version. We know that the Linux community is a very dedicated and internet-active group, so we hope their support will help us make that goal."

Quoting: "whizse, post: 3711, member: 126"Oh dear, I would have made a much better writeup if I knew it would be posted verbatim on the front page :oops:

Anyhow, the initial goal for $900 000 has already been reached. Just $600 000 to go for the Linux port.

Its fine as it is bud cheers for the news!

Quoting: "Eddward, post: 3706, member: 78"Well, I did a little looking. The game looks interesting, but what make you think it's coming to Linux? Just that they sell through Humble Store?


I have contacted them to find out for us.

I always ignore metacritic, i never trust it at all. Look at the reviews on Desura from actual players, not reviews who are all "its no gears of war".

8.7/10 on Desura so far.

I have lost faith in most commercial game reviewers already, to be honest.

I can not comment on the game of course, but still...

It seems to have gotten some pretty mixed reviews, but I'm all for keeping an open mind until I can try it myself.

Well, after this their in-house engine will have been ported over anyway. So there would be less work involved with any future titles when it comes to releasing them on Linux. Not a guarantee, but a good sign none the less.
