Creator Luis Bermudez on June 1, 2012
Hi guys! I love the blog idea, but I would LOVE it even more if you could keep blog-style posts within Kickstarter. Hosting forums somewhere else is fine, since I probably won't be able to check those as often. But keeping blog-style posts for your backers here would be for the best -- at least until your project is done.
Creator torque on May 16, 2012
"While we cannot share engine source code changes, we can share script code and components, as well as graphical assets as part of our modding support."
Please clarify: does that mean that you will keep the Linux port in-house or is there a chance for it to become an official deployment target? I'm currently evaluating engines and Unity really does look great but I want to support Linux and the missing support currently is the only thing keeping me from going for it. After reading the sentence again it seems you specifically meant altering the Linux code by modders ...
Creator Rafal Ziolkowski on May 10, 2012
Guys, can I serve you coffee? Always wanted to work with Game Development ;)
Creator Ichimitch Hamono on May 8, 2012
*don't have
Creator Ichimitch Hamono on May 8, 2012
Thanks Dan Q, for the link to feedmyinbox.com. That's quite handy indeed.
@Balazs Bessenyei, there's no "problem" in tracking feeds daily, but an email notification is very convenient... Especially if you have an abundance of time to do such things every day..
Creator Balázs Bessenyei on May 1, 2012
Since both sites support RSS feeds, I don`t see any problems tracking both sites daily.
Creator Dan Q on May 1, 2012
@dakkon: If you want updates by email, go to http://www.feedmyinbox.com/ and put http://wasteland.inxile-entertainment.com/blog/feed/ into the "Website or Feed URL" box.
Creator trisenk on May 1, 2012
If future updates will be posted on the blog, it would be nice to have an option to receive email notifications from straight from the blog.
Creator TheChosenOne on May 1, 2012
No they can make stuff backer only or not. They should link to the Kickstarter on the blog instead. Kinda defeats the purpose of this.
Creator Gavin Phoenix on May 1, 2012
Yeah but only backers can read this now and I'm guessing they want everybody to be able to read the news updates.
Creator TheChosenOne on May 1, 2012
Another blog to track? I though Kickstarter updates were for these things.
Creator David on May 1, 2012
I agree with Max.
Creator Max Ziebell on May 1, 2012
as day=a day
Creator Max Ziebell on May 1, 2012
Please don't stop posting updates here!!! I mainly use kickstart (as many others) to keep the main progress report on the projects… checking multiple site as day isn't really an time option for me.
Creator Fraser Miller on May 1, 2012
So am guessing this database was what i was informed aboout to contact you to deal with the issue I had on my part ...?
Creator Vladimir Lenin on April 30, 2012
Maybe you will include additional emails in database?
Creator silvercross on April 30, 2012
Guys, guys, I'm in! lol.
Anyways, I like the idea of a manageable backer database since I move around a lot and changing addresses is always a pain. Can't wait for the vision doc!
Creator Guido on April 30, 2012
Yeap, thanks for posting it here Poul.
Creator HunterZ on April 30, 2012

Update #15 – Welcome to our New Home
Posted on April 30, 2012 by Brian Fargo
You found us! Please bookmark this page for future reference. Since we have some backers who supported us through Kickstarter and others through PayPal, we’ve decided to use this space for all new updates related to Wasteland 2. We will still send out reminders through Kickstarter when we post important updates, but check back often for development information and to give your fan feedback.
Now that we’re funded, you’re probably wondering what happens for the next 18 months. We’ve been hard at work preparing our core design principles vision document. This document contains a solid overview of the important elements from which we will be crafting the detailed game design document. Before we started on the vision document, we spent a lot of time on our forums reading what elements you feel are important and what systems and features you’re not too fond of. The vision document will be available on our Wasteland portal in the next few weeks.
We already have an amazing community on our forums, and we know that it’s going to get better and better as we get further along in the game. If you haven’t done so already, head there and let us know what’s important to you. We’ve seen some wonderful suggestions that have already improved the vision of the game!
We are still working with some backers on account reconciliation through Amazon, and we will have a final list of all backers and reward tiers tomorrow. Very soon we will prepare the questionnaires that correspond to your reward tier. Here you will be able to give us all relevant information on your shirt size, NPC characters name, what package you want or any other applicable bits relating to the reward you selected. Any information relating to in-game rewards (i.e. Statues, weapon names, shrines) we will use when setting our production specifications, so please try to send it back relatively soon. We’ll set a deadline on it, but you’ll have a few weeks to reply.
Once we have that information back, we will also set up a backer database on our site. You will be able to login with the user information you presented to Kickstarter or PayPal and can manage your reward tier here. If you move in the future, just stop by and update your address. If you’d prefer to be contacted at a different email, modify that in our database. If you accidentally selected the wrong reward, you will have the opportunity to change it. If you wanted a higher tier, but didn’t have the funds to secure it during the campaign, you will be able to upgrade your tier in a backer-only store. We are not changing any of the tier limits, so sold out tiers are unavailable as upgrades.
Thank you for using the backer database as it will help things run smoother during the coming months of development, and we look forward to hearing your feedback on our vision document!
Creator Poul Grym on April 30, 2012
At the same time you can have a real time chat with users ;P
Creator Nick Damiano on April 30, 2012
They're probably trying to shift traffic over to their website from here on. If only it would load.
Creator Poul Grym on April 30, 2012
Some one should come up with a opensource HTML5 WebSockets P2P Webpage system. Anti-DDoS for small or any webpage.
Creator Bryce on April 30, 2012
F5 has just replaced studying.
Creator Eric Zolnowski on April 30, 2012
Yeah.... or you could just post the update here. Like every other KS project.
Creator Poul Grym on April 30, 2012
KS has it's Pro's as it's scalable for the crowds. Just do blog updates here. You seldom do them anyways.
Creator The Gecko on April 30, 2012
No idea if it's helpful, but here gues anyway!
It looks like you're using WordPress as your CMS. WordPress is a bit of a beast if it's dynamically generating pages for each hit.
To alleviate some of the load, you can try a caching plugin - requests will still have to hit a PHP instance, but it can pull the fully generated page from cache and still save a lot of time not building it element by element from DB queries.
Another possibility is to use a server cache with a short TTL. This gives you the speed of serving requests from static files, although things like comments may be delayed a minute or so, or however long you set your TTL. Of course, write the caching rules so it won't cache wp-admin pages or pages from users with a login cookie, as well as any plugins that don't play nice with cached data.
Creator Greg on April 30, 2012
To shadowrun's credit, their site didn't choke and die. It just took something like a minute to load each page. Or at least, that's what it was doing when I got to it.
*eagerly awaits the site coming back*
Creator Drake on April 30, 2012
@david the traffic is simply too high lol , nobody has malicious intentions , the day wasteland 2 finished the forums were overcrowded too .
But truth is inexile should still do updates here too , don't forget without kickstart wasteland 2 wouldn't have excisted , even if the cut is you know what ;)
Creator Mike on April 30, 2012
Wow, 30 min later and we already broke it. This is why we can't have nice things
Creator Kim Fredrik Svendsen on April 30, 2012
Haha. The exact same thing happened to The Banner Saga just an hour ago! :D
Creator nin on April 30, 2012
Don't feel too bad - we crashed the shadowrun.com servers the moment they were linked here, too. :) The price of popularity!
Creator Daniel Chambliss on April 30, 2012
Just wait till you post screenshots.
Creator David How on April 30, 2012
ahhh having pillaged the stoic/banner saga forums, it's good to have pillaged the wasteland ones too. after all you're not really trying unless you pillage two villages. how has kick starter become the new method of slash dotting a website?
Creator inXile entertainment on April 30, 2012
You broke us!!! Guess it's time to upgrade our servers, huh?
Creator Charlie Quinn on April 30, 2012
Hey, who turned out the lights?
Creator Mouse on April 30, 2012
I think your website done keeled over and died. Time to mash F5.
Creator Ted Martin on April 30, 2012
In the last 3 days I've watched the Shadowrun:Returns, Banner Saga and now Wasteland site and/or forums crash due to the collective excitement of Kickstarter backers ;) I Think I'll try to back of for a few days and let people ramp up...but it's gonna be difficult !
Creator Harald Kirschner on April 30, 2012
Well, that was fail. Please cross-post! It totally makes sense to post updates on the blog *and* here, as you also had donations via Paypal.
Creator folk on April 30, 2012
Jeez you really must reduce the height of the header on your blog site. What were the designers thinking? There's only one worse contender that I know of among the sites that I frequent.
It's really horrible, please reduce it by at least 70% - learn from Kickstarter.com.
Scrolling makes baby jesus cry. Really.
Creator tarasis on April 30, 2012
Aye, updates on KS are nice as I get an email.
Creator Drake on April 30, 2012
Hmm seems again server is overloaded , see interest in this project is still high :)
Creator Frank on April 30, 2012
That was fast. Also, what Ola said: updates on Kickstarter are preferred.
Creator ukshadow on April 30, 2012
Aww. Site seems to not be working.
Waiting warmly~
Creator Daniel - Obsidian Order on April 30, 2012
I guess 60k backers is one too many to head over there...
Creator Nicholas Tolstoshev on April 30, 2012
You might want to blog on here instead of your own site
Creator N. Cook on April 30, 2012
accidental DDoS attacks are the best kind. :D
Creator Zipthebunny on April 30, 2012

Creator Michael Patrick Cutillo on April 30, 2012
Hmmm, site doesn't respond for me
Creator Steven on April 30, 2012
