Great find, thanks, this is an amazing project.

I like how the video draws up the line between old-school game craftsmanship and modern commercializing of the creative process and corruption of the artistic principles. This is ideally how games should be made.

I'll wait a bit, too see will they make it as hardcore and complex as possible. If they choose that path I'll throw 50$ in their direction.

33 days left?

I thought it would be possible to pay any time during development, just like CARS project.

You can:

If you don't have a credit card, there are other ways you can pledge to Wasteland 2!  First, buy a Ukash voucher, then convert it into a Ukash NEO pre-paid Mastercard.  From there, you can use it with Amazon's payment system.

Keep an eye on our Wasteland 2 Kickstarter page for more announcements on additional payment types!

Thank you Tim Schaefer for the info!

Another option is to get a "Virtual Visa Card"  This is a pre-paid virtual card designed for Europeans to purchase things on the internet.  You can find more information about it here:  http://www.visaeurope.com/en/cardholders/virtual_cards.aspx
