New update with, among other things, a piece of concept art for the sculpted matrix systems:

Plus some terrible Valentine's day cards:

[HK-47]

Funding is really starting to ramp up 3 days out. We will probably reach 1 million before the final day.

 

[Almighty]

I personally would be downright shocked if this doesn't hit a million. I am putting my money on it raising 1.1 to 1.2 million myself when all is said and done.

 

[Terra_Ex]

That mini-campaign is all but confirmed now, which is great because I need it. The matrix concept art looks pretty damn nice too.

 

[Tenebrous]

Man, this cRPG revival is just absolutely beautiful. Really looking forward to playing more Shadowrun!

 

[~Kinggi~]

Ze final push has begun

 

[ashecitism]

Almost at 970k now. With 3 days left, it should reach 1m comfortably.

 

[ArjanN]

Almost at 970k now. With 3 days left, it should reach 1m comfortably.

It'll definitely reach 1M today or tomorrow.

 

[epmode]

Good work, Internet. Now save Steel Assault so I can play that too.

 

[Soph]

Why? Its a nice song.

The link agrees with you, and so do I! Very laid back track, reminds me of Shadorwun instantly.

 

[~Kinggi~]

71 hours left oh my!

 

[Gurgelhals]

More than 60k during the past two days. We should reach 1mio. within the next 24 hours.

I'm really impressed by how professionally they've managed the entire campaign. I hope they don't spoil it by announcing a last minute stretch goal when we reach 1mio.

 

[RK9039]

We need dat mini-campaign.

They said in one of the interviews they've already made plans for one more stretch goal just in case the campaign went well beyond 1 million. But with just two days to go, It probably wouldn't make much sense.

The final push should generate them an extra 100k i think. 1.1 millions maybe. Maybe more. I dont know.

 

[ArjanN]

Deal. As long as Night Cry gets funded as well.

 

[SuperDowns]

Alerting people who want to get in that this has almost reached 1 mil which is their biggest stretch goal.

 

[Amir0x]

65 hours to go, near a million.

This is going to be friggin' amazing

 

[Poodlestrike]

I'm so hyped. Million's almost inevitable, and that bonus campaign is gonna be great. The wait is going to be tough

 

[indigo-cyclops]

More glorious Shadowrun, give it to me.

 

[Elaugaufein]

The evolution from Dead Man's Switch to this has been really visible and impressive. And considering the DRM questions that came up during the initial development, I'm really impressed that this and the Dragonfall remake are both up on GOG (especially given Microsoft was involved).

 

[Almighty]

That mini campaign is going to be sweet. Now I wonder if they will attempt one more stretch goal or just call it a night.

 

[Miletius]

Just 10k more to 1M and the last stretch goal. Gonna hit it tonight for sure.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Backed this now.

 

[HK-47]

Less than 500 to go

Edit: And we have our mini campaign

 

[BrokenFiction]

One million, baby!

 

[Alastor]

Yay for more (potentially) awesome content!

 

[pmj]

Has it been said if the commentary will be a kickstarter exclusive or if non-backers will also be able to get their hands on it?

I'm not keen on spending $35 on a game right now.

 

[Rymuth]

They got to 1 million. Good job, everyone!

 

[HK-47]

Update #23

 

[~Kinggi~]

Real cool someone was up at the early hours to post the 1 million update.

 

[kiyoaki]

So they did make 1 mio. easily, and the reminder mails for the last 48 hours haven't even been sent out yet.

I hope they'll put the additional money they make to general polish. Maybe make one more side mission, or something.

This Kickstarter has given me pretty much exactly what I wanted. I can't wait until August.

 

[BrassDragon]

Kickstarter came through. Rock on, Shadowrun lovers.

 

[Dandy Lyin]

Yay! I'm so glad they made their final stretch goal -- can't wait for release

 

[Kinthalis]

I'm happy to be a (tiny) part of this!

Looking forward to the final game!

 

[Meia]

Update #24



I think it's good that they're not adding anything at this point to try and up the amount of money they'll generate, honestly. I know they've said as much over the campaign, but good to see it out there.


Was interesting to see this push happen when it did, and curious to see what happens now with it.

 

[Sinatar]

Heh.

 

[GavinUK86]

At this point, it's not about getting the highest total. It's about inviting more people to join our community. And we hope that they'll consider joining us because they want to support a bunch of (fiercely) independent developers who genuinely care about serving their audience.

Thanks again for everything. The Shadowrun Community is supportive, welcoming, helpful, generous, understanding, and appreciative and it's an absolute pleasure to make games for you. You are the very best thing about coming back to Kickstarter.

Cheers!!!

This warms my heart and makes me very happy. Seeing game creators genuinely enjoying what they do and giving the best game they can to their fans.

Ditto. It's good budgeting practices; if every kickstarter had a "shit happens" fund built in, I suspect you'd see a lot fewer failed projects

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

I just want more awakened animals to fight. There is never enough fantasy creatures to fight in Shadowrun. Shadowrun is usually more focused on humanoids.

 

[Opiate]

Well, I contributed to this. It seems like a game my girlfriend may like.

 

[~Kinggi~]

This is moving fairly fast for 47 hours left...they are gonna get a lot of 'extra' monies.

 

[MisterShine]

I was hoping for like a 1.2m 'misc', adding little features or missions to help flesh things out. A nice money cushion is probably a good idea though. Very happy we got the epilogue/expansion thing.

 

[Intheflorsh]

This game now has the (completely insignificant) honor of being the first game I've backed on Kickstarter!

 

[spinalscratch]

Yeah I did yesterday. The first Shadowrun was great but still had some huge mistakes. I'm currently playing Dragonfall and it's amazing, clearly they have learnt from their previous mistakes so I can't wait for this one.

 

[kiyoaki]

Yes, I think they made the right call.
I just upped my pledge so I'll get the short story collection.

 

[infi]

I thought this might just reach one million when it was done but it looks like its done it comfortably. Hopefully with them using the extra money wisely it will manage to be an even better game than Dragonfall is.

 

[human onion]

Finally backed it myself. Dragonfall was a complete surprise and proved that these guys know what they are doing. An improved engine on PC would pretty much be perfect, so I'm excited.

 

[MickeyKnox]

Backed for the post campaign scenario

 

[pa22word]

Anyone else get the feel that the post million update is a direct response to the shit that went down with Molyneux in that RPS post?
