[Jaesun]

Just curious on what you people think: If HBS continues to ride the rails of INCLINE (which we will find out today) with Shadowrun: Hong Kong, would you guys want to do a codex fundraiser for it?

I certainly would.

Depends on how ambitious they are with the project. Rehashing Dragonfall with the same mechanics is not enough I feel.

I would because that's the only way I could donate to the fucking KS

It's been 23 hours since their "1 day left" tweet.

 

[Sensuki]

Yeah, what time. I figured I'd get in early so I don't miss out on potential limited el cheapo tiers. Got robbed there for Torment.

 

[Ninja Destroyer]

Will be playing Street Samurai for maximum immersion

In the last scene, when they're all waving at the camera, one of the guys on computers is wearing a Daggerfall t-shirt. Christ, even their own people confuse Dragonfall and Daggerfall.

 

[GarfunkeL]

Ah, so that's how they'll run it. fantastic.

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.

 

[The Great Deceiver]

Twelve hours of gameplay is a bit of a letdown, but looking at the current pledge rate they'll easily reach most stretchgoals and add some length to that.

Enhanced Player Controls! In addition to all the new Tech, Magic, Weapons, Consumables, Creatures, and Enemies we're already planning, if we reach our initial funding goal, we’ll add a bunch of interface upgrades. These include the ability to decide which team member picks up an item in free-move mode, item swapping between party members, a player-initiated turn-mode toggle so you can position your team before you enter combat, and a spread-range indicator for shotguns and sweeping melee attacks.

There are more features that should be added (looting enemies), but we're on the right track.

I wouldn't put much weight on this. Dragonfall was also supposed to be "as long as" DMS.

 

[taxalot]

Indeed. But it's also what's been announced on their page.
I think I spent 25/30 hours in Dragonfall. If that amount of time had been announced for the new kickstarter, I'd have pledged more. But 12 hours ? Well... They got their 15$ .

 

[The Great Deceiver]

True, if my memory serves, they've advertised Dragonfall as having 15 hours of gameplay.

Yes.

Hmm... 30 minutes, 11K raised. Not bad at all.

 

[taxalot]

Was that before or after they decided to make the game longer than they originally planned ?

 

[Jaesun]

Kickstarter is using some new transaction system, you might be able to back it now Darth Roxor ?

OK PC exclusive (goodby shitty tablet memory limitations), Tracking what the player does (implied choice and consequences) I'd say they are on the road to INCLINE.

I think the codex should definitely do a codex fund for this, just to let HBS know they are going down the right path.

Can we set one up DarkUnderlord ?
