Lexx Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Was over 100k already when I noticed the KS is up. Will give something as well as soon as PayPal is up. I've got no idea who Isobel Yeung is, but I approve that picture above. 2 "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."

Humanoid Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Would like to have an excuse to back for more than the minimum, but not much incentive to do so just yet. I understand why they've moved away from fixed shipping prices, but in terms of backing it does put me off a bit not knowing exactly how much it'd cost me on top of the actual pledge.

Orogun01 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Now the important question is: Will there be waifus?

rjshae Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 None of the higher level rewards look particularly interesting. They seem to be steering away from physical goods; probably for good reason yes, and yet... a t-shirt, laptop sticker, or mouse pad would be nice.

Tertius Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 None of the higher level rewards look particularly interesting. They seem to be steering away from physical goods; ... As they wrote: "We know from experience that fulfilling lots of physical rewards is a big, distracting, and expensive undertaking and we want your funding to go into making a quality game - not into shipping a bunch of tchotchkes. Remember, the people making your game are also the ones making and sending your stuff!" So imho it's totally okay.

prodigydancer Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Good news but their KS campaign is way off. I don't believe they could (or would) develop the game for $100k. And stretch goals are mostly fluff - at least for now (up to $400k). Which translates into "for 4x budget we'll deliver just a little bit more than for 1x". Believable minimum budget is $1m. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endrosz Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 You should read or watch before you write... Why Kickstarter? Because we want to do more. We're totally committed to making Shadowrun: Hong Kong and we're already several months into development. The project is budgeted, fully staffed, and on-schedule for a mid-2015 release. We also have a story we're really excited about. At our current budget, it's going to be 12+ hours long and at the quality level of Shadowrun: Dragonfall - Director's Cut. The same is said in the pitch video. 3 The Seven Blunders/Roots of Violence: Wealth without work. Pleasure without conscience. Knowledge without character. Commerce without morality.

They would have delivered the game even without this Kickstarter campaign. This is for more money to include further content and improvements to the game. Just like Divinity: Original Sin did. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prodigydancer Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Ah, I see. So it's more like D:OS KS this time. Makes sense alright. Still they could easily set a higher initial goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well because this KS has a solid track record and the game will be made either way, so it poses little risk to back.

AGX-17 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 (edited) They need more donations to make a new campaign for Shadowrun Returns? They ought to at least do a kickstarter for a real cyberpunk RPG without magic or Tolkien races or dragons magically appearing out of the ether at the advent of the supposed Mayan "apocalypse" (as interpreted by Christians, who of course take pagan calendars as legitimate as canon scripture.)
