We’re celebrating inXile’s 20th year as a game studio with a look back through our history; where we came from, obstacles along the way, and our studio’s future. But it’s the challenges that made us who we are, and we’re sharing never before heard stories about our history, our games (including some that were never released), and how becoming an Xbox Game Studio has changed our trajectory forever.

As you’ll learn in the documentary, it’s really our fans and those that helped support us directly through crowdfunding that kept the studio going, and we’d like to once again thank anyone who backed a game, told a friend about us, or even just liked a post promoting a backer campaign. Even those small interactions absolutely made a difference in our lives, and we survived as a studio on the support of people who like to play the kinds of games we like making.

We hope you enjoy this look back at the last 20 years and continue to join us in our game worlds as we look toward the next 20. We can’t wait to show you more.

inXile Entertainment is proud to announce the Wasteland 30th Anniversary Bundle, a celebration of the video game series which launched the post-apocalyptic genre in video gaming and inspired successors such as the Fallout series. The bundle includes items from across the history of the series, along with two new items - a musical track by Mark Morgan, which represents the first publicly available new content from 2019’s Wasteland 3, and a currently in pre-production 30th anniversary remaster of the original Wasteland by Krome Studios (currently partnered with inXile on a similar remaster of The Bard’s Tale Trilogy).

Items in the Wasteland 30th Anniversary Edition Bundle include:

• Wasteland 1 - The Original Classic
  
• Wasteland - 30th Anniversary Edition remaster (due early 2019)
  
• Wasteland 2: Director's Cut
  
• Digital Extras:
  - Wasteland 3 Music Track "Frozen Waste"
  - Wasteland 2 Novella: All Bad Things
  - Wasteland 2 Novella: The Earth Transformed Ghost Book One
  - Wasteland 2 Novella: Death Machines Ghost Book Two
  - Wasteland 2 Concept Art Book
  - Wasteland 2 Choir Songs EP
  - Wasteland 2 Original Soundtrack

This bundle will contain all the items listed above and be sold for $44.99, launching at 10% discount in celebration of the game’s anniversary. When Wasteland - 30th Anniversary Edition is released, it will also be added to the libraries of customers who purchased the bundle at no additional cost.

The signature item of this bundle is Wasteland - 30th Anniversary Edition, a remastering of the first game that will feature updated graphics (which maintain the spirit of the original pixel art), run natively in current operating systems and at all current resolutions, and offer other quality of life features. This work is being done by Krome Studios, the team currently behind a similar remastering of The Bard’s Tale Trilogy.

The Wasteland - 30th Anniversary Edition remaster is currently in pre-production, with an expected completion date of early 2019. Anyone who purchases the bundle prior to then will receive the game at no additional cost upon release.

As the year comes to a close, we look back to an amazing period for PC games and RPGs in particular. Given so many great titles came out this year, we were absolutely thrilled and humbled to hear that PCWorld has selected Wasteland 2 as their Game of the Year[www.pcworld.com]. It is gratifying to see the strong response from fans matched by the press, and it's thrilling to close out this year being recognized among the best of what the gaming world had to offer!

PCWorld's honors are joined by John "TotalBiscuit" Bain's Best Thing to Come Out of Crowdfunding, Gamers Honest Truth's Indie Award[gamershonesttruth.com] and an entry in Shacknews' Games of the Year list.

Once again, our thanks go out to our backers and fans, without you this never would have been possible. And the book is not quite closed yet, we have high hopes for the future and plan to continue supporting Wasteland 2 beyond this year and into 2015. And with Torment: Tides of Numenera, computer RPG fans have much, much more to look forward to from us as well!

We are 9 hours out from Wasteland 2’s Release! After 25 years the Desert Rangers are returning to save the last remnants of humanity. Get ready to embark on an all-new adventure into the desolate wastes of Arizona and California!

You will find the manual under the "Manual" link in the Wasteland 2 page on your Steam Library, or on Google Drive at https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B3LlgONcNnMUUnVzRGxiUUJYb2M/edit

Be sure to check out the new combat trailer narrated by our own General Vargas:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-hPDdLMuN0

General Vargas talks us through Wasteland 2’s combat system and all that goes into it. Creating your character and party with the attribute and skill decisions that go into it. Fighting some high-level enemies the wrong way with the wrong party or the right way with the right party. Using environment to your advantage and even using your skills to gain extra allies on your side.

Wasteland 2 will be available for purchase through digital retailers for $40/€40/£35.

The Earth Transformed - Ghost Book I[www.smashwords.com] is now available. If you have the digital deluxe version installed the novella will be added in .epub, .mobi, .pdf, and .azw3 formats under your install folder, at Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Wasteland 2\Books.

We also updated the beta with a hotfix to the latest release that addresses the issue of locations not popping up on the world map.

Our newest Kickstarter update brings a lot of great news; the first novella is now out and will be downloading to your Steam install folder shortly, and we offer our first look at our major inventory re-design.

We’re extremely happy with how the new inventory is coming along. It greatly reduces the amount of unnecessary micromanagement and is much more visually appealing than the previous iteration. Instead of being list based, we were able to make it more icon based with unique icons for all items. The list style inventory works well for a game like WL2 with lots of items to collect, but lacks a bit of the soul that comes with an icon based inventory. There is something special about getting to see all the items you own in one spot. We had always hoped to go with an icon based system, but early in the project we were hesitant to commit to it due to the greatly increased art costs. We’re now at the point where we feel comfortable taking on the challenge and know it will make for a better experience.

The image above shows the new backpack. Long gone are the days of hitting the backpack button and having 4-7 packs pop open. By selecting the party member along the side, you can see the contents of their pack. If you select the “All” button, it will show you the contents of all packs in one easy to read space. Hovering over an item in this mode will highlight the party member on the left to show whose bag it’s in. Drag it to the PC you want to have it and you’re good to go!

When you mouse over the item, you will get all stat and useful information displayed in a small pop-up. You also can further examine the items by double clicking to read the details and see any additional description information.

This grid-based inventory is not limited for space. You can manually keep it sorted yourself under the all items tab if you have your own system in mind, or have the game auto-sort it under one of the other tabs (which will not re-set your manual sorting).

At the same time, we’re also updating the character, attribute, skills and dossier screens. No longer will they be full screen but instead a more compact window, which gives us space to combine it with another screen. Additionally, dropping items in the world, adding them to hotkey bars, and trading becomes much easier when you can move this compact window around to the most convenient screen spot.

We’d love to hear your thoughts on the new inventory vs. the previous one. Please leave comments on our forums or in this Kickstarter update. It will be included in our next code update so those in the beta will go hands-on shortly!
