Shadowrun Shadowrun: Hong Kong Pre-Release Discussion [GO TO NEW THREAD]

The goal seems pretty modest.

 

Only 100k as the goal? Interesting. But I guess you cut down on a lot of unnecessary costs when you skip flashy shit like voice acting and recycle all assets

 

Bit dissapointed that it seems to be """just""" another campaign, instead of something bigger and more complex.

Still, TAKE MY MONEY!!!

 

Also if you offer no new features and only release on one platform.

edit: actually the first stretch goal is also the base goal, so there are some new features planned:

 

They are going to have to come up with more goals....

 

The goal is very modest. They're gonna hit it in a single day.

 

I suspect this goal will be smashed to hell, but we'll see. Only in for 15 bucks myself due to my wallet having holes in it, but...

Maybe we can fund two campaigns at once?

 

They don't even inform their previous backers via kickstarter...

 

No collector's edition with a printed book...

 

Really. So a third campaign in the same setup and the main KS pitch includes no mention of any gameplay improvements. Dragonfall was fun, but what the fuck makes them think I want to play the same game again and again? What are they, King's Bounty? Tell us what you're actually going to improve besides 'another campaign, looks exactly the same'.

Of course, one of the stretch goals does make a difference:

Whoop de fucking do, a hundred thousand extra for the kind of improvements you'd naturally expect from the third iteration. Oh, you say we're getting new tech and magic? Well why don't you tell us?

I guess if you thought Dragonfall was the new Fallout it's a no brainer, but if you look at just the pitch itself, it's just... boring.

 

Well tbh when it comes to a new release, I can't say I blame them for first financing the base content and then moving in to engine improvements.

 

Really? Why is it with all the stretch goals? Well, if you're right, fuck me for being a retard.

Still would like to hear if the gameplay, AI, character development, etc. is going to be improved. The KS pitch focuses on NEW COMPANIONS! HONG KONG! Well, guys, you aren't such great writers I'd back you just for that, it'd be like looking forward to a new Wasteland 2 companion.

Except all their other stretch goals on that page are CUTSCENES! NEW CHARACTERS! CHARACTER MISSIONS!

 

PC Only Release
Shadowrun: Hong Kong is being developed for Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems only. We have elected to focus all our efforts on PC in order to deliver the best game we can without the current processing and memory limitations of tablets. This focus allows us to have higher-fidelity visuals, larger map sizes, and more stuff on screen.

 

I think you're probably in the minority there.

 

Backed, naturally.

The Age of Incline Must Continue

 

They've been up for an hour and they're already at 11% 13% 15% 21% of their goal.


Backed as well. My body is ready.
