I backed Wasteland 2 and thought it was great… and the reviews seem to agree. The first of their projects to be finished, Wasteland 2, launched earlier this year. What that means is that they’ve turned what was once a traditional development studio into something that truly harnesses the grass roots power of the crowd. But what really interests me (and what inspired me to share this news with the Star Citizen community) is the fact that this is inXile’s third crowd funding campaign. I’m confident that Brian and his team will deliver a worthy sequel for the long-dormant series. What I’ve seen of the Bard’s Tale IV thus far looks great. The new game looks to be a return to form, aiming to revive the sort of single-player, party-based game seemingly forgotten in the age of massively multiplayer worlds.

The series offered now-classic dungeon crawler gameplay with a number of unique takes, including innovative early 3D graphics and a special emphasis on music in the game world. There’s some exciting crowd funding news to share today: Brian Fargo and inXile are resurrecting The Bard’s Tale, a franchise that has been dormant for almost thirty years! For those old enough to remember gaming in the 1980s, the Bard’s Tale series was one of the first serious contenders for the cRPG throne established by Origin’s Ultima series.
