Crowdfunding has actually benefitted a lot of projects, thanks to the investing support of fans. Game company inXile Entertainment can attest to that because they were able to reach their goal of raising over $2.75 million dollars to fund their latest title "Wasteland 3." What's worth noting is that they were able to achieve that in over three days!

inXile Entertainment boss Brian Fargo expresses his most heartfelt thanks to the supporters in a post of the actual crowdfunding site Fig. He further adds: "Without you, we would simply not be able to maintain our independence and keep fully true to our visions for great RPGs that you love. We also cannot fail to mention those who have chosen to invest in the financial performance of the game--their contributions have also been invaluable. Your trust and support means the world to us. So kick back, put your red boots up, and have some squeezins to celebrate."

According to Gamespot, the crowdfunding campaign actually began earlier this week, briefly right after the game's announcement. The previous title "Wasteland 2" was also the successful result of crowdfunding but in a different site called Kickstarter, in which it raised $2.9 million in spite of asking for only $900,000. It was mostly because fans were also waiting amidst the 26-year long pause before the sequel to the classic "Wasteland" was announced. Now, the supporters are at it again for the third title with nearly 14 thousand backers that have pledged $2,755,905 to the game as of now.

Due to this, inXile has even more plans to add more features with three stretch goals. By extending the funding goals to $3.1 million, the company is still hoping that these targets will be met considering on how quickly the $2.75 million was raised and the fact there are still 26 days remaining before "Wasteland 3" will be released. Here is how inXile exactly describes their three stretch goals:

• $2.85M: 37 Pieces of Flair -- We unlock further Ranger customization, which could include multiple body types, more heads, and more hairstyles. Plus we'll show items that your Ranger has equipped (gear like shovels, binoculars, etc.) on their models.
• $3M: Car Companion (Codename: Morningstar) -- We add a talking car companion! Morningstar is an AI built to serve President Reagan, but he'll help you both in your travels and during combat, plus he'll give you well-timed advice on how to wipe out all the dirty commies out there.
• $3.1M: Customizable Ranger Squad Insignia -- At the start of the game, you get to customize a Ranger Squad insignia for your team, which will show up on your Ranger Base as well as elsewhere in the game (on flags, for example).

"Wasteland 3" will feature co-op gameplay, vehicles, and much more, and will be released for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC in Q4 2019.
