Rebecca Heineman sadly passed away. Known her since the 80s when I'd drive her to work, one of the most brilliant programmers around. A real gut punch earlier today when she messaged me: "We have gone on so many adventures together! But, into the great unknown! I go first!!!" :(

Finally after years of working in secret, we were proudly able to show a preview of our next game today.
Clockwork Revolution.
I’m so proud of the team and their brilliant work. The talent, the craftsmanship and the fans continue to excite me after so many decades.

I was reminded that it is the 25th anniversary of Fallout, what an amazing thing to see our little RPG become such a cultural icon.
And I’m thankful I’m still creating games all these years later.

The real Fallout mystery is what happened to the red headed cousin of Vault Boy that was on the Pip-Boy in Fallout. He never got his moment of fame.

Microsoft have been perfect partners for us and I’ve worked with a lot of people in my career. Nothing but encouragement, operational support, creative freedom and respect for game development. So yes, I’m most impressed with them and you will see their bets pay off.

Many years ago when Interplay was a developer we would get difficult producers at our publisher. As a trick, we'd occasionally drop a duck into a scene so they'd order us to remove it and not change what was important.

Leaving a planet in a ship for the first time…never gets old.
Now, with 1000 planets to explore, I’m afraid will have to re-look at the release date of Clockwork Revolution.
Fortunately, we haven’t announced the release date yet. 😃

Big week! We are proudly launching Wasteland 3 on the 28th.

Most importantly we hope you all enjoy the game, we love making RPGs for you.
Long live the RPG!

Who would have thought Fallout would make the huge impact that it has. I remember the early discussions for the vision document and using our lessons from Wasteland to help shape it.
Employees, today is September 30, the birthday of the first Fallout game. Thanks to this game, many people discovered their love for the post-apocalypse, including our team. Have a great day, wasteland wanderers!

It's the calm before the storm, many many thousands of gamers will be playing Wasteland 3 soon. 80+ hours of game with and unimageable number of edge cases.
I've put hundreds of hours in and I still discover new material.

We've had quite a few questions about our next gen RPG and can confirm it will use Unreal Engine 5.
Thank you. We’re excited to share more, although it’ll be a while. Focusing on finishing Wasteland 3 and getting it into people’s hands on Aug. 28. We will indeed be using Unreal Engine 5 for our next project.

I was also finally able to spend time speaking with Todd Howard and getting to know him, turns out he has a very funny sense of humor.
There were quite a few RPG heavyweights there and it was a blast to engage in deep and nuanced conversation with them during the week.

I'll share one fun little tid bit from Wasteland 3. You'll hear an Australian guy broadcasting over the radio from time to time, his voice belongs to Emil Minty, better known as the feral kid. He loved doing the voice work.

I'm asked what would we do if Bard's Tale 4 PC is a big hit.
How about this stretch goal. I will attempt to buy Interplay back if we manage to sell over 2 million units in the first 18 months.

I founded and ran Interplay for 17 years and that was my entire adult life at the time. It’s amazing that I’ve eclipsed that with inXIle. I could not be more proud of the talent and passion assembled here.

One other reminder, be warned that Wasteland 3 deals with harsh themes and dark humor. There are mature situations and dialogue, our taste is in the Deadwood, The Boys, Peaky Blinders and Pulp Fiction camp.
Enjoy!

Stumbled on this old letter from George Lucas thanking me for sending him a copy of Stonekeep. This was during the time he was trying to persuade me to merge Interplay into Lucasfilm games and have me run it.

There will two expansions in total for Wasteland 3 and we add content into Ranger HQ and provide extra audio throughout the main game to increase reactivity. Plus, we added quite a few more songs for the game.
We hope you enjoy...

Wasteland was very close to becoming a TV series. So close that a 2 hour pilot was written.
I thought it would be interesting to post the whole screenplay on the internet? Would love to hear your feedback. Enjoy!

My week is so screwed after this launches. I love sci-fi, I’ll never forget the joy I had with Starflight back in the day.
Here's a round up of today's #Starfield facts with Pete Hines in case you missed it!
• "The game doesn't really start until after the main quest"
• Describes how he got sucked in to the vacuum of space after jumping on to an enemy ship and the pilot taking off
• Modders will be able to create planets
• New Game+ relates directly to the main story so Pete couldn't really talk about it, however he does state it is different from most New Game+ mechanics and it is "rather special"
• Said he felt like Iron Man at one stage due to the diversity of weapon mods being combined with skills
• Museum on New Atlantis explains some lore for the game
• There's an enormous amount of creatures, no clue how many
• Says after 150 hours, he isn't even close to 100%'ing the game
• Lots of mod support post-launch
• Mission boards can ask you to build outposts on planets
• Plenty of easter eggs
• No level cap (he thinks)
• People on PC who have played the game early have said performance is smooth

I can understand the natural skepticism of seeing small companies bought, we've all seen some subsequently dismantled after.
Our deal with Microsoft allows InXile to grow and dream like never before. This is a wonderful thing for our future.

Sorry to dash your hopes but I'm not involved with the Interplay announcement and I've no idea what the "new" Interplay will be. I'm as curious as you.
It's sure nostalgic to see the logo and the "By Gamers. For Gamers." again.

Not a lot of new games coming out in August, looks like you’ll have no choice but to play Wasteland 3.

And I thoroughly enjoy working with them.
In 1998, I started working on #Arcanum with Jason Anderson - a unique game that took place in a deep and immersive steampunk world.
To return to the genre and be reunited with Jason (and @BrianFargo) on @ClockworkGame almost 25 years has been one of the highlights of my career.

In places where his shoes might touch earth also trodden upon by (heaven forbid) the poor, Lord Grombley's automaton-driven carpet keeps him walking a safe six inches above the filth of the commoner.
