That way they can go into their 6-month worldbuilding gaming session with the basics already finished then build and polish everything before October '13.

I imagine by 'screenshots' they mean the sort of in engine alpha mockup they might use in pitching to a publisher.

I thought that the Unigine guys offered the engine for free and Fargo was "considering" it, which was a polite way of saying "that's nice, but that's far too complex for what we're doing". Fintilgin posted:I imagine by 'screenshots' they mean the sort of in engine alpha mockup they might use in pitching to a publisher. From my brief foray into game development, they had to have had something substantial if they were pitching it to publishers. Since this is a veteran studio, they likely had a single stage with rough graphics and sample gameplay completed in 4-6 months time.

A Brian Fargo Twitter Chain posted:@BrianFargo You said on Reddit you might hire more writers and to show samples. Where on the site to do so? Thanks! You would think it would have been my childhood dream to make a sequel to Wasteland or something, but really, it was my childhood dream to live in Wasteland. I hope that one guy who did a fan rewrite of the ending to BioShock that basically turned it into the best ending of any game ever is interested in the post-apocalyptic genre. Edit: Oh, right, so, yeah, I did not start the Let's Play yet. Trust me when I say I really wanted to already have posted an update or two.

They might be using Unity for early prototyping. I understand that is frequently done.

Wikipedia also tells me that Unity is set to become Linux compatible in the future.quote:There have been several indications a Linux port is in the works. Specifically, an end-user discovered an option for Linux as a runtime platform in Unity itself[29] and work on a Linux port was later confirmed by a Unity Technologies developer.[30] A prototype of a web-plugin for Firefox on Linux was also blogged about on Unity's corporate blog[31] and another Unity Technologies employee has publicly indicated that work has been done on a Linux port.[32] However, while there has been spare time work done on a Linux port, Unity Technologies have indicated that they don't intend to support Linux unless they see a greater demand for it from their customers who develop games with their engine.[33]

Roman posted:Fargo just tweeted: "We will be supporting Linux as promised. They are working closely with us to insure this." Just to add to this, he also tweeted: "We have been supplied the source code to Unity for the express purpose of making the Linux version." I was expecting them to release something through the chrome native client, but this is a nice surprise

Here's a short article on why Wasteland 2 running on Unity is a very good thing: http://www.cinemablend.com/games/Wasteland-2-Running-Unity-Gamers-Can-Rejoice-42457.htmlquote:This is really, really, really good news. It's not just good news for Unity Technology because the Unity Engine gets tons of exposure but it's good news for the gaming industry as a whole: a highly requested game is being designed on a cost effective engine.

I was getting in the shower just now, and there was a knock at the door. It was the post lady! With the sample shirt from customink!!! and it looks.. well... loving AMAZING!!! Even better than I had hoped! The lettering is clear and crisp, it straight up looks great. I'll post pictures when I finish my shower. Edit: Here ya go:    A nerd picture:  And finally a pic of me in the shirt. It's a large, and I am an extra large kinda guy (if I didn't have the physique of Teddy Roosevelt, it would fit great), and it has a pretty good length to it:

The Unity guys have been holding out on Linux/Unix ports for the longest time and Wasteland 2 will likely be the game that tips the balance.

It is ... so ... beautiful ... (Also nice "that one painting whose name I cannot remember but that I had as my desktop background for ages," RagingBoner. I love it.) RagingBoner looks kind of eerily like I suppose either Teddy Roosevelt with little glasses per HondaCivet or like my friend Erik. Hey guys, you know, my friend Erik? Forums goon Hrothgar who has not posted since 2006? Guys? (Also I am glad to hear about Unity and about how this will make Linux people happy) (Also AxeManiac I just realized I forgot to tell you how beautiful those shrinky dinks are; I am tempted to make the one of my avatar into my avatar, for metapurposes) (Also I am going to get back to work within the week on my Wasteland Let's Play now that I am no longer a failure [passed my dissertation proposal~!])

That shirt looks sweet. Any idea when you'll be sending them out? I'll be abroad for a couple of weeks next month and I'm always paranoid things will arrive and thus be returned in my absence.

This is not related to what you just said and I apologize but I noticed there was a new post, came to check, and Chrome did the glitch it occasionally does where it briefly displays the non-thumbnailed version of an image, so RagingBoner's face suddenly filled my entire screen.

The shirts are guaranteed to be here by the 21st of May, at which point I will start taking payments on them, and then subsequently shipping them. I will send out an email with payment instructions, so keep your eyes peeled.Quarex posted:This is not related to what you just said and I apologize but I noticed there was a new post, came to check, and Chrome did the glitch it occasionally does where it briefly displays the non-thumbnailed version of an image, so RagingBoner's face suddenly filled my entire screen. I am very sorry this happened to you. Also, maybe we shouldn't meet up when I go to WA next month, because they say when dopplegangers meet the universe collapses. OR MAYBE WE SHOULD. And I've already tried the Teddy Roosevelt look (see my profile picture), and while I like how I look with a 'stache, I can't stand how it feels and all the food and poo poo that gets in it.

That's cool, I didn't even realize they were going fully polygonal with the game. As much as I like hand-drawn sprites, I never cared for the jerky 2D CRPG engines of the 90s. Give me a buttery 60fps engine any day. Edit: I just hope they can avoid feature creep. Midee fucked around with this message at 19:48 on May 16, 2012 |

I actually hope they don't let you rotate the camera. I tried the new Jagged Alliance demo and that poo poo was annoying, there was always something in the way.
