ShadySands Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 The project is now live Though I gotta say their funding/goals seem a little off. I mean you/me/we/us/I don't actually get a single player campaign until they hit 1 million, just more stuff added to the skirmish mode they are already funding... I dunno feels funny to me for some reason 2 Free games updated 3/4/21
Malcador Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Interesting goals, at least HBS covered some stuff already. Shame I can't get a big Clan Wolf banner and hat Why has elegance found so little following?

Vaeliorin Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Definitely hoping it at least hits 1.85 million...not fussed about PvP at all, but I imagine there will be add-ons to the campaign between 1.85 and 2.5, so...go 2.5 million!
Hurlshort Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Yeah, I'm itching at the $125 pledge, the physical rewards sound cool. But for now I'll stick to $25. It's flying along though, they will hit a million easily.

Gfted1 Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Estimated delivery:May 2017 Yikes! Ill probably buy in at the Recruit level. "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"
Rosbjerg Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Yeah, they're 10k from reaching their goals now.. Wow, Harebrained seems like the clear winners in the KS era. Fortune favors the bald.
pmp10 Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Not too sure about this one. Shadowrun was worth it only for the writing. A strategy focused game doesn't play to their strengths.
Malcador Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Average of $93 pledged, impressive growth. Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra
Keyrock Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) /throws money at computer monitor The rate at which this started, Stage 2 should get reached easily, maybe even within the first 24 hours. Stage 3 is a real possibility. Stage 4... who knows? Edited September 29, 2015 by Keyrock RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks
ShadySands Posted September 29, 2015 Author Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) 400k goal has been knocked out $250,000 - Combined Arms: We'll add a healthy roster of non-'Mech AI opponents to the Base Skirmish Game including tanks, hovercraft, support vehicles and more. But be careful - even the lightest of combat vehicles can still wreck your 'Mechs under the right conditions. $400,000 - Expanded Mission Objectives: We'll add a variety of mission types to the Base Skirmish Game including Escort, Capture, Defend, and more.

Vaeliorin Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Kind of stunned both $10k backer slots have been taken already. I guess it was decently advertised before the campaign started, but...wow.
GhoulishVisage Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Excellent. The world has been in dire need of a good mech game for a while.I don't know why the mech genre mostly died like it did, but this is an excellent way to restart a revitalization. 1 When in doubt, blame the elves. I have always hated the word "censorship", I prefer seeing it as just removing content that isn't suitable or is considered offensive
melkathi Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Kind of stunned both $10k backer slots have been taken already. I guess it was decently advertised before the campaign started, but...wow. Probably had specific people lined up for those beforehand? Unobtrusively informing you about my new ebook (which you should feel free to read and shower with praise).
Keyrock Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Dat flight jacket tho. 3 RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks
Ganrich Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Dat flight jacket tho. I backed at the $125 level, but I keep looking at that jacket thinking, "Don't tempt me, Frodo!!!" 1
Malcador Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Tempted by the jacket, but suspect it'll be some low grade clothing. I guess I'll kick in for the Noble. I like keychains. 1 Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra
Vaeliorin Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Yeah, the higher tiers are tempting, but I know it would just end up being stuff I'd stick in a drawer/closet, as I simply don't have any space to display it. If there was a physical copy somewhere in there I might be more tempted, just because I like having physical copies of games I care about.
ShadySands Posted September 30, 2015 Author Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) I hope they put a higher all digital tier PS almost 650k PPS I also wanted to include this tidbit Which ’Mechs will be in the game? BATTLETECH is in pre-production, so many decisions, like the final 'Mech roster, are not yet determined. But here are the 'Mechs we're currently planning to include: LIGHT: Locust, Commando, Spider, Firestarter, Jenner, Panther, Raven, Urbanmech MEDIUM: Cicada, Blackjack, Vindicator, Centurion, Enforcer, Hunchback, Trebuchet, Griffin, Kintaro, Shadowhawk, Wolverine HEAVY: Dragon, Quickdraw, Catapult, JagerMech, Thunderbolt, Cataphract, Grasshopper, Orion ASSAULT: Awesome, Victor, Zeus, BattleMaster, Stalker, Highlander, Banshee, King Crab, Atlas Will “The Unseen” ‘Mechs be in your game? We’re excited by the great redesigns Piranha and Catalyst have done for some those “imperially entangled” ‘Mechs but we’re not committing to them right now. However, it’s a long time until we ship, so cross your fingers! Edited September 30, 2015 by ShadySands Free games updated 3/4/21
Keyrock Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) So far I'm just in at the $25 minimum to get the game tier. I can always change my mind later and adjust (or cancel) my pledge. I'm not usually keen on physical rewards, but dat jacket tho. Still, I can't justify dropping $275 on a game, so I better just put it out of my mind. ... Dat jacket tho.

ShadySands Posted September 30, 2015 Author Posted September 30, 2015 Wow! Over 750k in under 12 hours Didn't see that coming Free games updated 3/4/21
Humanoid Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Can any international backers for Shadowrun Hong Kong who bought physical tiers tell me how much approximate shipping was charged? I understand why they don't provide fixed shipping costs in Kickstarter itself but I don't want to be stung for $50+ shipping if it comes to that. L I E S T R O N GL I V E W R O N G
Majek Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 I hope they hit Stage 3 though i'm only backing for 35$ right now. :S 1.13 killed off Ja2.
Labadal Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 I put in $25. I hope they reach the $1.85 million goal.
Lexx Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Awesome that they can use the MWO models. They look good and it saves them a lot time and money which can be spend on other areas instead. 1 "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
