So once we hit $600K, everyone will have their side mission?

I guess they were pretty sure that they would reach the stretch goals up until 500 000 $ before they started the Kickstarter and had already began the development of it.
Since when has this been in the game?
I'd love astral plane, but I think it's too big to be a stretch goal.
I want her in my party but she won't agree
You can have her on missions. You just have to pay.
I was referring more to her mentioning RacterI want her in my party but she won't agree
I know, but i'm cheap.
I was referring more to her mentioning Racter
Is he important to the lore?
Edit: ah got it. I'm blind.

It was added in a patch in December, I think.

Lucky Strike as a team member for 800k? That would be neat. Time to take it to Tweeter! #GetLucky

I am hoping Riggers get a bit more love and they introduce many different types of drones with own pro's and con's as opposed to a linear progression of three or four robots. The final drone should essentially be a mini-Metal Gear.
I love playing Hacker's too, Axe and a Deck, so I can hack people and programs to pieces!

They've mentioned in one of their comments that they want to stick to their development schedule regardless of the amount of extra funding they raise through kickstarter. It's one of the things they've learnt during the development of DMS and Dragonfall: Don't go for unrealisticly big stretch goals that would entail too much additional development time, because chances are that you'll overpromise and run out of money. So astral plane is probably out of the question and the matrix overhaul will remain the only "big" stretch goal. I don't think they will spontaneously come up with new stretch goals beyond 700k.
I used to play a rigger in PnP. There's certainly a lot you could do with the class, but the same is true for pretty much all of them compared to PnP
Actually, a huge part of rigging in PnP (and in the novels for that matter) is handling vehicles, and it doesn't really fit the framework they've set up for these games - and I don't really see how it could.
Yeah, I can see that and I agree with it.
It's just that, were I to select a single thing I'd still love to see in these games, it's the astral plane. But it would basically entail constructing everything in the game twice (Or at least specifying a degree of astral activity for each pixel of every prop) so obviously it would not happen.

Expanded magic get! Only 150k to go now :-D
Since when has this been in the game?
Since before Hong Kong was announced at least. I read that bit about two weeks ago.
I could still see Astral Plane being the "big" 1M Strech goal. Say they have one at 800k, and then say we'll hire a few more folks at 1M and just go for it.
Looking at the list, I'd say there isn't a whole lot more they could promise that would fall in scope. Expanded rigging sounds like a possibility. Another side character sounds good, but in increments of 50 or 100k I think it's safe to say that they probably won't be looking to add that many more companions, lest it become more of a menagerie instead of a cohesive team.

Why can't these guys make 10 shadow run games a year? Why don't they want my money????

Shadowrun: Twin Peaks revealed as next setting after Hong Kong.
Will it even need the boost to clear 700k?
I don't think so. This has 1 million or more written all over it. I said this before the campaign launched and I still think it will happen.
The music during the final battle, amazing quest.

Really awesome quest, didn't expect something like that at all.

I'm 100% okay with Shadowrun being the Call of Duty of cRPG's. With like, .01% of the sales numbers, heh.
I played shadowrun returns and....I really hated it. I won't go into the reasons but it is one of the few games that I couldn't finish.
I purchased dragonfall directors cut in hopes that it will persuade me and then I will be able to get excited for this game. However, my criticism of shadowrun returns is immense.

Dragonfall is a lot better.
Though it's not radically different, so you may still dislike it depending on what exactly you hated about Shadowrun.
Haha, I knew you wouldn't be able to resist.
And yeah, the new stuff added for the Director's Cut is all very high quality.

That would be a-ok in my book. I loved pretty much everything about DC, especially. The Hong Kong settings looks very intriguing.

Shadowrun fused with Deadly Premonition would be right up my alley.

Speaking of Shadowrun... does anyone know how to rip music out of the game file location? The OST has some of the music missing from the in-game and I want to listen to them.
Their most recent update confirms they will again make use of the hub/mission structure they used for Dragonfall, which is good in my book.
The funding is actually coming in at a pretty steady rate, it doesn't appear to be one of those kickstarters that grind to a complete halt in between the initial and the final rush. I guess whether it will make significantly more than $700'000 will depend on the quality of the next set of stretch goals. I'm still holding out hope for a second (mini-)campaign. Something like a 5 hour expansion to be released a couple of months after the main game, perhaps set in Tokyo. Backers would get it for free, which would be a great incentive, and they could sell it as DLC to the rest of the world.
Shadowrun meets Twin Peaks/Deadly Premonition would be a nice fit. The Shadowrun universe has always had a little hard-boiled streak anyway, what with the detective archetype or Nigel Findley's tie-in novels.

Indeed.I was like this ->and this ->at the same time during the final battle.
Really awesome quest, didn't expect something like that at all.
It's actually impressive playing the original missions and some of the Director's Cut stuff interspersed and see how much more variety the latter has. I guess with the main game they had more of a (justified, perhaps) feeling that they need to get the "standard RPG stuff" in there.Haha, I knew you wouldn't be able to resist.

They definitely should stick to one game and one location I feel unless its travel for a mission.
Just looking at the daily funding its been getting over 15k a day for several days now. It should continue at 10-15k the rest of the way until the final few days, so I'd say over a million is pretty likely. Maybe 1.1m at the end.
