Wasteland - Desert Ranger Edition (KWP) now live on KS

[volantangel]

Design wise definitely the standard back, but these will be shiny, let see what i end up pledging =)

[decibelhz]

I'm really interested to see how much this KS makes. Between the game being one of the most successful campaigns on KS raking in close to $3 million worth of pledges and Jackson's overall appeal, this one could be big. We all saw how well The Name of the King did and I don't think that deck looks as good as this one based on what I've seen so far.

Tuck image from instagram;

"Wasteland playing cards Desert Ranger Edition. With gold foil backs. ..."

So, foil backs, is this USPCC printed? (they obvioulsy have been trialling it...) Or is Jackson branching out a bit here?

[Eoghann]

I'll run it through my image mapping and enhancement algorithm. I might be able to get a reflection off the table if I tilt the Y-Axis to reveal the bottom of the tuck bitmap.

But my informant says the odds of being USPCC are 1000/1.

Enhanced!!!

Informant can no longer be trusted. Intel vector has been compromised.

So excited for this deck!

[Travis Carter]

Definitely looking forward to this! Never played the game, but it interests me in trying it out. And the fact that this deck will be printed by EPCC makes me jump for joy

[rousselle]

I know I'm a bit out of touch when it comes to gaming, but I've never heard of this game.

EVEN SO, this deck looks like a must have. That is the thing about good art; it transcends the subject. (I picked up Jackson's Sherlock Holmes decks for the same reason; I'm not particularly a fan of Holmes, but Jackson's interpretation is truly well done.)

Mona Lisa was probably a really dull person at parties, and yet Leonardo's rendition of her smile has had quite some staying power....

Besides... foil! Om nom nom....

Alright already with the teasing! When's this going to be on KS? Some of us need to budget which weeks we won't be eating...

You should think of having a tier that comes with the games, like a Steam or GOG credit for it, for the card fans that haven't played the games before.

That is a great idea and something I am already working on with Brian Fargo and the InXile team. We are just trying to work out the logistics.

From what I've seen and read so far, distribution of digital media is much more difficult than a physical item. Many unforeseen limitations. Republique comes to mind, the mobile game. Republique promised every backer a digital download of the game but the App Store doesn't allow the generation of that vast amount of codes. So they only fulfilled a handful of backers. To try to appease the angry backers, they let the game be free and the rest of the chapters for a ridiculously low amount ($1 I believe) for a short window and kept the news for backers only.

As it happens, word got out and everyone jumped on the freebie, causing them to bleed out on potential funds. And now they're struggling to complete the following chapters. It was pretty bad.

It's considerably easier to deal with physical copies of games rather than digital downloads.

But if Jackson and inXile can find away to do that properly, I'm all for it.

Is it just me or the KWP logo seems misplaced?

Yep, just you

[JacksonRobinson]

Thought this might be interesting, this was a post apocalyptic character I designed years ago. His name was Tugsy. He has a skateboard and on it, was the first appearance of the future Kings Wild logo.

Here is a link to a 3D Gaming forum, development thread, I was an active member of during my game industry days.

Had no idea you were previously ensconced in the games industry, Jackson. Hope that might mean that we'll see more game related stuff from KW.

The balance of colors and shades in these designs is stellar. Can't wait to see them printed and in my hands.

[vasta41]

Do we know what time these are launching today?

In for 2 of each. Prices are relatively painless. All the best, JR!

[Eoghann]

I'm just loving the simplicity of Jackson's latest projects. Straight and to the point. Hope it becomes a habit coz my heart can't handle super duper limited tiers anymore.

And the uncut prices! Brooooooo

[chach]

Have to admit, I'm kind of glad to see there's no uber-limited secret squirrel deck for once. Well, namely my wallet is glad. But I'm in like Flynn on these. And yeah, the uncut prices... THANK YOU!!

I think I just may play the game a bit now since I'm at the computer and all...

[rousselle]

So... why is it that the bigger the tier, the higher the cost per deck?

It costs more per deck to buy 4 of each than to buy 2 of each. Thus, if I happened to have a second account on KS, it would be cheaper for me to buy two of the 2-of-each tiers than to buy one of the 4-of-each tiers.

It would also save me $24 if I bought one brick of the LE and then added a brick of the ranger edition than to back the tier that has one brick of each.

I'm curious as to the thought process behind this pricing.
