It’s been a busy month on inXile Entertainment’s<\/a> Wasteland 2 Kickstarter<\/a> page, which has seen 61,288 people (including me!) put a total of $2,933,147 into the game’s development fund.<\/p>\n

That’s quite a bit over the project’s original $900,000 goal, so I imagine everybody over at inXile HQ is looking forward to rebuilding the office with pizza and Lego bricks, just because they can<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Well, they might have but apparently the extra cash is being put into developing Mac<\/a> and Linux<\/a> versions of the game, in addition to the PC version. After the project passed the $2.1 million mark, Fallout 1 and 2 designer Chris Avellone<\/a> has also been onboard, which makes sense because the Fallout series was basically a spiritual successor to the first Wasteland game. Oh, it’s all coming together now.<\/p>\n

Avellone joins former colleagues Mark Morgan<\/a> and Jason Anderson<\/a>, as well as original Wasteland creators Brian Fargo<\/a>, Alan Pavlish<\/a>, and Mike Stackpole<\/a>, to make this post-apocalypse the best post-apocalypse ever.<\/p>\n

The game is expected to launch sometime in late 2013.<\/p>\n
