It is very disappointing that that is as far as you can zoom in.
Really, the quality of the art is fine for what it is I don't understand why they won't let me get closer.

Man, just seeing basic stats for an Ares Predator gives me tingles.
Guess my inner Shadowrun fanboy is stronger than I expected. Its been so damn long.

3 hours in I'd say hard is a good spot for the difficulty. The fights have been pushing me to use proper cover, put some thought into who I take out first, where my guys are and rewards cautious play.

Would I be able to run this game on my crappy Laptop?
Or people have unlocked their kickstarter keys?
I need definitely manual saves, and i wasn't very happy with the few customization options for my character. Hope we get mods for the latter soon. Oh and i would also like to zoom in a bit moore.
Other than that it's great! I really like that it seems to be quite story heavy (only played like 1 1/2 hours or so.)

Ah, ok! I wondered about that too.

Do you mean these 36,000 backers in total? If you apply the "10% rule" they become essentially statistically irrelevant.
Unless you are under this gigantic delusion that pretty much every single Kickstarter backer activated his serial key in real time as he received it and now they are all playing the game at the same time.

I don't think you should run into any trouble, the game is not exactly demanding.

you don't really need a good framerate for these types of games.
Also feature Shadowrun Returns on my Indie Channel. For me the game did deliver what I was hoping for, yet I was not one of the original Shadowrun players from the nineties.

good to see it turned out well, will dive into it tomorrow and this weekend.
To be honest, people that fund a game are probably more likely to play it a while on the first day than your average buyer, so it will be a bit more than 10% i think.
Still it seems to sell really good, which is great.

With how bad my laptop specs are, I needed to make sure
Thanks!
It's also been the top seller on Steam the past couple days, so they seem to be gathering some decent revenue.
Man, this game is pretty! I'm only about an hour into it so far, but I'm generally really digging the tone and writing. But yeah, same complaints as everybody else in terms of no ability to freely save and linear levelled structure over more free roaming as you usually see in these games.
Check out this post:

Contains several presumably useful youtube tutorial links. I haven't really looked through them yet but I will eventually. Editor seems like it will be interesting to mess around with.
Far Cry 3 peaked at 20k and that game sold really well. I'm not saying that this is selling/will sell more than FC3, but it bodes well.

yeah but FC3 is not steam exclusive on PC and is also on the consoles, also a very demanding game hardware wise.
Still 25k nothing to sneeze at.
Afaik regardless of max. int a race can have, 6 is a very intelligent character, so there you have it
all others have 9 int, except the orc, he goes with 8. but yeah there is no proof anywhere to be found regarding the int of the troll.

Was that supposed to be witty. That anyone who calls a troll stupid is no longer living?
Its sortof funny but it could have been worded better I think.

What's up with the Mac performance? Runs great on my PC, runs like absolute shit on my Mac
Seems ok now, was spotty for a bit...
Just started it, and man while really like the art and systems thus far, the save system is dreadful. I wouldn't mind an autosave system if it was reasonable and autosaved after every encounter or so, but man I just lost 40ish mins of playtime because I have to go to work and there was no spot for me to trigger an auto save in sight.
Bleh. Hope modders can fix this.

yep, needs a save after every battle function instead of leaving an area. Pretty crappy.
There is not looting of corpses (at least not without mods). You can pick up items from lockers occasionally, though.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
This is awesome.
Played for a bit. Seems like a game made by great artists, fantastic composers, good game designers and writers, and ... programmers. To be fair, maybe there were just far too few of the latter compared to the former.
It somehow managed to suffer from intermittent audio stuttering during loading and lag in the friggin' options menu. Also, I can't say I'm a fan of the UI.

Haha, I noticed the options lag too. I was confused and quit to run D3DOverrider, but the same thing happens. Not caching the player model for the inventory is more confusing to me though.
At least I think ingame it uses a hardware cursor, so there's no cursor lag that I noticed (though I was using D3DOverrider anyway).
It looks like a couple of people were reporting bugs where if they crashed or alt-F4'd because something froze, their save file(s) were gone. Apparently it does not actually save to disk when it says it does. The really odd thing is that I have been going through a Process Monitor log and trying to figure out where in the world the autosaves go, and I can't find them anywhere. There are some Unity cache files, but surely they wouldn't put the autosave data there...
Config data seems minimal and is in the registry rather than a config file. There is a DevMode setting but when I tried setting it to 1 it flipped back to 0.

It just tweaks the perspective a bit on the map layout.
Played it now for 3 hours and I am really enjoying it. It's pretty well written, and I am actually having fun with all the dialog stuff. That is something a lot of RPGs get wrong these days. I count this as a successful Kickstarter. Hope the others I supported will turn out good as well. I actually get to see Wasteland 2 at Gamescom so then I might already get a good feel on that one...
Runs totally fine on my iMac. (1080p, HD textures and with AA)
There should be a hit percentage above the enemies.

Those are pretty big words.
What does the FC acronym stand for? And those Harebrained have anything to do with GAF at all?
I really want to find out where the autosaves go if there's a chance a freeze could lose them. I just froze in the shop screen after changing into new armor. Even shift-tab for the Steam overlay did not work. I alt tabbed and came back and things started working, but for a minute it was entirely frozen.
Also is there any way to change outfits with something from your stash? Right after I bought it, it gave me the (potentially freezing) dialog to do it, but now when I talk to the shopkeeper and look at my stash, there is no option to equip anything from it. Actually, I can't figure out how to get items from my stash into my inventory. Am I missing something?
