I've only played the SNES game, which I really liked. Setting has always intrigued me.
Still on the fence on this one due to lack of actual PC game development experience.

Loved the video. That's how you market a KS.
They've got my support.
What do they mean 2D? Like a dungeon crawler?
I'd kill for a V:TM Bloodlines Shadowrun like, myself.

Their update video says they are currently in crunch on another game "Strike Fleet Omega."
Can anyone find any info about this game? Google seems clueless. I'm interested in what this team is capable of.

I put down 15 bucks. I was sorely tempted to pay 30 though. I may go back and pledge more.

A video of their last completed game (an IOS game) here:

This seems like a pretty ambitious project for this team. Perhaps this money goes towards hiring some additional artists, I hope.

This is a dream project for me. The only other way I'd like to see Shadowrun is as a party based KOTOR (console stlyle)/GTA hybrid RPG.

I dunno - I would love to EA make an new old school style Ultima or Ubisoft a proper Might & Magic (not puzzle game or strategy, though those are much better than how EA has treated the Ultima property)

Welp, I'm in for another one. Yeesh!
Weisman saying he's using the SNES one as an inspiration is the entire reason I'm backing this project. I loved the hell out of that game as a kid.

So. This thing looks like it'll hit in the first 24 hours.
Kickstarter. Must love. The hell. Out of these game campaigns.

Mm, I doubt it. I wouldn't be surprised if it got to $300K tonight but I don't think it'll go all the way that fast. It's a lock to happen, though, and that's more than good enough for me.

Kickstarter is making me poor! Another one to back
Much of the impact will be lost on fresh eyes, but that game was mind-blowing back in the 90s. The setting and dialogue system stuck with me for a long time.

Not the best rewards for tiers. I'll go for $30

Pledged 15$.
Awesome!
I never played the SNES Shadowrun, is it better than the genesis one?
I had fond memories of the genesis version and bought it off ebay a few years ago. I got stuck on a part pretty early and couldn't figure out what to do so I gave up. This makes me want to go play it again.

SNES and Sega games are both so good the difference is negligable. SNES does have that cool speech system though which is making some sort of return so its definitely worth checking out!

genesis version is more open but has less story where as the snes version is more focused and has a pretty long engrossing story i choose to geek fools in the snes version over the genesis

Another vote for the SNES version. It's great.

You know what would help boost funding? Announcing that big name music composer (Or Trent Reznor) will join the project if a certain level of funding is reached.

Except that would need to actually happen.
I remember desperately e-mailing Mitch Gitelman back when Shadowrun was in development, but I found out later they actually were in a bad position in terms of being pulled in different directions because of somewhat questionable reasons. If only I knew at the time who the right people were to escalate problems about that game to...somewhere in between Steve Ballmer and Shane Kim
Man, my donation to this might exceed my Double Fine one...

I bet there are a ton of people against this sort of thing. But fuck, arent their always?
But isn't this absolutely amazing the time we are in now? We actually get to witness this shift of production pipelines where they stop catering to publishers and go straight for the gaming communities. These videos are essentially pitches that they'd have to throw at the publishers, but are presented to the gamers in hope of funding. This is a bright time for the industry... I can't wait to see how firstly Schafers project comes together.
Maybe im just too optimistic atm.

As great as Trent Reznor would be, I would imagine that he'd be impossible to get. Trent was originally going to do sound design/ music for Doom 3, but he had to pull out because of some clause in his contract with the recording company that he is signed to. Or some nonsense like that.
