KickStarter BattleTech Pre-Release Thread

[agris]

It needs to have either story or multiplayer, as a minimum. Who wants a single-player skirmish game?

It always gives me a warm fuzzy feeling in my heart to watch these numbers go up in the beginning of a kickstarter.

10k 100k within first 15 minutes, bredy gud. I threw some money at them too for now but I expect a Codex fundraiser.

edit: guise, it was a typo.

10k?

This is going to be funded before I'm done writing my newspost.

 

[Jaesun]

Already half way in under an hour, this is going to take off like crazy. They also are getting some good re-tweets from various publications, so that's good too <3

 

[Taka-Haradin puolipeikko]

10k was the first minute or so.

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

So when are we setting up our funding run?

I'm in too if we do one.

 

[MachineCommander]

I backed this but I think might have enough to spare in Codex sets up a fundraiser.

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

Codex featured character should totally be Cleve. He should drive a Swiftwind or something. Or be the best Charger/UrbanMech pilot ever.

Social media stretch goals:

Sorry Abu Antar

It's like they read my post and tried to rub it in, hahaha.

 

[Ivan]

IN FOR $35

 

[lurker3000]

This is without a doubt the most excited i have been for a KS campaign in years.

Also 200K in 35 minutes. Not bad.

 

[Vincent2211]

Gonna be funded in less than an hour at this rate. And I'm in for $135 (now I just have to decide between Steiner or Davion).

 

[Jedi Master Radek]

Not my cup of tea, but backed it for 25$ just because I trust Harabrained Schemes.

 

[Cyberarmy]

Did my duty. I welcome our great mech overlords.

 

[imweasel]

Will there be Mechs who tell their life stories for hours on end? I really liked that in Shadowrun: Hong Kong. Really. I'm super cereal.

 

[Trash]

They're asking for a lot more than just the Kickstarter funding level for a real singleplayer campaign. A whole lot more for an expanded singleplayer. Hope they'll make it. I really want to see this one. Pledged.

 

[eXalted]

HBS must be feeling happy. As far as I know SR Hong Hong didn't sold that well (compared to the older titles).

It was crowndfunded succesfully and was cheaper to develop so it's not like they came out with empty bank.

 

[Hellraiser]

I am backing this once it reaches a million. Which at this rate might be tomorrow, hopefully. Procedural side-missions would be killer.

Also that pilot jacket backer's reward

 

[Lucky]

Funded

Watching how fast this is going in comparison to First Wonder is pretty depressing. Still, it's not like they're competitors, so good on HBS for doing so well.

Worth noting that this is the first time Harebrained have offered beta access for one of their Kickstarters. Pretty cheap, too:

Pledge $50 or more

MECHWARRIOR (Exploding Value!)
**********************************************

All of the above, PLUS:

* Access to the STAGE ONE SKIRMISH BETA. Get in early to learn the ropes of ’Mech combat and help us make the game better.

* A BACKER-ONLY VARIANT of the Atlas Assault 'Mech with an exclusive model and paint job.

* A brand-new ORIGINAL BATTLETECH E-NOVELLA by legendary author Michael A. Stackpole. Mr. Stackpole wrote the BattleTech Warrior trilogy which launched the 4th Succession War and became the standard by which hundreds of subsequent BattleTech novels were measured against.

>>> EXPLOSIVE ADDITION! Backers can add ADDITIONAL E-NOVELLAS by Michael A. Stackpole to this level by accomplishing Backer Missions! (See the Backer Mission section for details.)

>>> EXPLOSIVE ADDITION! - Access to the MULTIPLAYER GAME BETA. If Stage Four is funded, you’ll be the first to battle in the arenas of Solaris VII and help us balance the game.

It's good for the balance, I guess.

 

[DwarvenFood]

Funded within the hour.

One can only hope it'll help tune the difficulty and AI to appropriate levels.

Well it is game for combatfags first (storyfags get their due after 1 million $)
