Inxile Entertainment launched their Fig campaign for Wasteland 3 the other day, and it is off to a great start. The combined crowdfunding/investment site allows developers to not only seek backing from fans, but also seek backing from investors interested in equity.

It seems the latter crowd are very keen on Wasteland 3 and out of the $2.25 million pledged towards the project, a massive $1.75 million comes from investors. With 28 days to go and at 82% of the target sum it would appear as if Inxile are well on their way towards their first successful Fig campaign following three successful campaigns on Kickstarter.

Here is what Brian Fargo wrote about the early success:

"Hello Rangers and Exiles,

Nothing is more nerve wracking than launching a crowdfunding campaign, but you have blown us away with your support for Wasteland 3. Only 10 hours into the campaign, and we're already 73% funded with over 9,000 backers! We're overjoyed to be co-funding this game with you and making it happen once again!

We want to thank you for being behind us all the way. And, of course we can't go without thanking our friends from the industry, like Obsidian, Larian, Harebrained, The Brotherhood, OtherSide, Compulsion, Unity and so many others, for lending their voices. The fact that we are working together to lift our games to a higher plateau rather than working against each other is what makes our industry great and it's clear the crowdfunding spirit is still alive.

We've also been attentively reading all your comments on the campaign, as well as Facebook and Twitter, and rushing to reply as soon as we can. Keep sending us your questions and we will try to get back to you as soon as we can!

We've received many inquiries about things like future updates, stretch goals and more add-ons - don't worry, we have many details about the game cooking that we'll be discussing shortly. One common question is whether we'll support backing through PayPal, and not to worry, we're working on it and will have news on it as soon as we can."

Below is a first look video of Wasteland 3, a game that's being target for release on PC, Mac, Linux, PS4 and Xbox One in Q4 2019.

REVIEW. Written by Roy Woodhouse

"The story is great and the combat is spot on with interesting tactical elements and a narrative where choice seems to make a genuine impact."
