    Interesting. 35 dollar is a bit much for just alpha acces ( 75 -> 110) but guess there surely are some people willing to help them support/develop the game even more. The game itself does look really sweet. Going on my wishlist :P

    I've never played the series but I always liked the idea of the series so I backed this.

    Point of note, this is another example of a backed game that will launch. Kickstarter games do launch one just has to learn what to look for as far as what is offered.

    Its hard to take something from the 80's and make it good. Wasteland 2 was okay but the gameplay felt very unbalanced, I hope they can do better with this one.

    Already kickstarted this one and wasteland 3 since they would have to completely screw this one up for me not to play it.

    Same here!  I even got copies of the earlier games plus a free copy of Wasteland 2
    All for $20

    Kickstarter's work MUCH better for these types of games than MMORPGs

    hopefully this erases everything they ruined with that last game "The Bard's Tale"

    Is there a third person view? Inquisitive minds are inquiring.

  • ultimateduckultimateduck Member EpicPosts: 1,269
    Does anyone know what phase they are in (pre-alpha, beta) and when the actual release date is?

    Hrmmm... I loved 1 & 2. Never even heard about 3.
    I'd be all over this but the combat section of the video was hard to watch. The bard's main abilities seem to require that she be an alcoholic to use. But that wasn't even the showstopper... the squares of the tactical map were hard to see. Splitting combat points over all characters didn't make logical sense either. If a character should get a move turn in the round, it really shouldn't matter how much else someone on their team got to move, right? I know, putting too much thought into this. I just wish the devs had done a little more. Right now, I'm thinking I'll pass. But post-launch reviews might convince me otherwise.

    Blobbers are never anything but first person. Your party moves as a "blob." A graphical representation of your party would make it not a blobber. For movement at least, Wiz7 had a radar for party positioning during combat, and some blobbers, like the GoldBox Engine games including Buck Rogers, and The Realms of Arcania series, switch from first person to an overhead/isometric toppish down view. I know isometric has a specific definition and I'm outside of it probably, but by that I mean any slanted, overhead type fixed view.

    Overhead also works I hope then.

    Some other great, recent blobbers are Grimoire: Herald of the Winged Templar (or something like that, like a Wizardry 7 part 2 more than Wiz8) Might & Magic X (more like WoX than 6-8 or 9), and the first two remakes of the Realms of Arkania Trilogy (first remake was very buggy when released, but was patched into being better with far more functionality than the original with lots of new content, same with the second remake).  And S&S: Underworld as mentioned above. 

    For more 80's inspired blobbers there are a good amount that came out on handhelds that are now on Steam such as Generation Xth series (well, these were on PC first before being handhelds, but the Steam versions are the handheld versions, not the PC versions), Elminage (Gothic and Original), and Strangers of Sword City.  

    StarCrawler is a sci-fi blobber with a space-port hub to pick up missions.  Its a decent game, but a little rpg-lite.  As the only pure sci-fi blobber I can think of this century it is worth checking out if you like sci-fi and blobbers and don't mind mission based games.
