Well that's about 6 people. I need 7 more to at least show interest before I have this guy make a prototype so I can show you.

I would totally be down for a belt buckle, shipping shouldn't be too bad to Canada.

Evil Fluffy posted:Copy the save files to different folders? I mean old DOS games were a bitch when you had to swap disks but you can play them now in DOSBox with the A: folder open and your backups' folder to swap stuff around in an instant. Should work for Wasteland (haven't tried it though). Or just put the whole thing under version control  Then you can even run multiple parallel games in different branches! It's like having multiple save slots! VaultAggie posted:Are there any good LP's of the original Wasteland? I've done some research and looked at some video but I still have no idea what the hell is going on in the game. I've already dropped 30$ on the kickstarter but I wanna know what the game's going to be based on. I don't rally get why the original has such rave reviews because it looks completely mediocre from what I've seen but I'd be more than happy to be proven wrong. As I understand it, Wasteland basically kicked off the WRPG genre as we know it. Ultima beat them to it, but not by much, and Wasteland was much more polished and accessible. Between the graphics, the UI, higher standards for writing in RPGs, and whatnot, it hasn't aged as gracefully as something simpler like Doom, but at the time it blew everyone out of the water and pretty much founded a genre. Quarex posted:This is all super-awesome news. Electronic Arts is apparently trying to rebuild their corporate image through continuing their decades-long good relationship with Wasteland fans. You should probably not look at what they're doing with Ultima.

ToxicFrog posted:Or just put the whole thing under version control I was going to point out that Pool of Radiance came out in 1988 like Wasteland did and may have been out first, but it doesn't matter because Bard's Tale came out in 1985.  e: I rarely wear belts but might be interested in a Desert Rangers buckle. ToxicFrog posted:You should probably not look at what they're doing with Ultima. Signed up for the beta of that thing since I have an Origins account from when I tried the DA2 demo (and haven't used it since) so I'm holding out futile hope that it's entertaining.

I wear belts, I like Wasteland, so I am pro belt-buckle and would certainly buy one. Missed out on the shirt so a chance not to miss out on something cool... And yeesh, poor Ultima... Ah well, I can remember 4,5, and the 7s fondly at least. Wasn't a huge fan of 6 for some reason. And I only played 1-3 briefly. And speaking of Bard's Tale (someone did, I am pretty sure of it!), did inExile ever get their Android version released of the newer one that was supposed to come with the originals?

That seems like enough people. Since most of you are international, how about this: I take your $20 for the buckles right before I place the order, then when I am ready to ship I'll take a separate payment for shipping. It'll be more fair that way. I'll let the guy know I'm ready to see a prototype.

It'll be more fair that way. You should just do a Kickstarter for it. Set the lowest tier so that it equals how much each one will cost and ask people to add however much for shipping to their location. Set the Kickstarter goal at cost per buckle x how many people you need to buy one for them to each cost the price you set it at (I think you said 20 people at $20 per buckle, so $400 goal). Kickstarter can be used for big budget things like W2 but also for little projects like this  I wonder if they have an option to make a Kickstarter private so that it can only be seen by people with the link.

Hey RB, I finally, FINALLY sent off my order for one shirt, internationally shipped. I think that I originally put in for two, but I hope that the one leftover can go to someone else who might want it. If I'm a horrible person for switching my order, we can cancel it and I can then order the 2, if you'd prefer that.

I really hope I fit in to that large. If I don't it'll just remind me of how much I've been slacking off instead of working out.

If no one want that large, I'll just send it to Quarex so he can give it to Brian Fargo. Maybe a belt buckle too.

Quarex posted:ULTIMA 6 WAS THE BEST ONE AAAAGHAGHGAH Ha, you know most people seem to agree with you. And don't get me wrong, it blew me away the first time I saw it. But looking back I guess I see 7 as a more refined version of that system. And 4 and 5 had plots that interested me more. Anyway, back in April Brian Fargo tweeted that the iPhone Bard's Tale game would be coming to android "in a few weeks" with the old games as well. Guess Wasteland 2 is distracting them from that effort. And you know what? I think I can live with that! Screenshot due soon as well, that should be interesting.

Quarex with his Apostles: Edit: I just got my proof image from the belt buckle guy, and I guess I did a lousy job explaining what I wanted. I've seen a lot of the guy's work, and it's really good quality stuff, I guess there was just a misfire in my explanation. So I tried to be more specific in my order request and hopefully I'll get you guys a more presentable image to go on by the end of this week. Edit 2: This was the proof he sent me, btw:  Not bad work, just not perfect. Edit 3: He says the sculpting will be an extra 5 bucks a buckle, raising it to $25 a buckle. I think everyone here will be cool with that though, right? RagingBoner fucked around with this message at 21:30 on Jul 16, 2012 |

Goddamn, Raging Boner. I would be interested but I got some more pressing matters to attend to. Hopefully by the time I can resolve them, I can afford to prepay for a belt buckle.

RB, how long do the shirts usually take when mailed? If the large was sent recently I might need to have someone check my mail for it since I'll be away from home for a few days.

AFAIK, the longest delivery was a shirt that I guess fell in between the seats of the pontoon boat the Aussie mailman was using, and it took two weeks.

RagingBoner posted:Quarex with his Apostles: First, the that first picture is freaking awesome. What is it/where did it come from? Second, if you'll allow me to sperg out for a moment. The star that's going to be engraved in the center appears to be a nautical star. The desert ranger star is based of the old U.S. Marshall/Texas Ranger tin star. Admittedly they're pretty boring looking so I can't blame you for wanting to spice it up. Sorry to nitpick, but it was bugging me a little for some reason. Although, the irony of it does seem rather fitting. Of course, I don't know why I am bothering. I don't have the money to order one, and living in Texas has ruined belt-buckles for me. I still think this one looks pretty drat cool.

Jonny Retro posted:First, the that first picture is freaking awesome. What is it/where did it come from? Yeah, that was actually the problem with it: I told him I wanted a faceted star, and gave him a 2D drawing of what that would look like. I didn't know I needed to request it to be sculpted in 3D. The next proof should be pretty spot on. And that picture was from a thing Brian Fargo posted in his twitter a couple days ago, there were a poo poo load of spooky drawings like it: http://www.behance.net/gallery/WASTELAND-CHILDREN-OF-THE-EVOLUTION/99613#.UAOJlkPREXM.twitter

Ah, I did think that it was supposed to be a faceted star for a second, but my spurgin' got the best of me. In that case I think it's absolutely spot on, and you may promptly me ignore me. Excellent work. Thanks for the link.
