The push for crowdsourcing among indie developers continue, this time with a proposed tactical shooter from former Bungie and Ubisoft designer Christian Allen as well as huge gains for the inExile Entertainment campaign for post-apocalyptic RPG Wasteland 2.
Cleanly over a million bucks: that's the total with 29 days to go for inExile's plan to get a sequel to the inspiration for Fallout, Wasteland.
