Chummers, we have reached:

I'm really not surprised considering the amount they raised for the first one.

There is much interest in the setting.  The IP holder would be wise to expand their offerings.  I believe Topps owns it right now..?  So their recent projects have probably been outside their normal comfort zone, especially with very little digital games in recent times.

Was just trying to pledge for it when I noticed Kickstarter demands my CC details and no longer accepts payments through Amazon Payment as they did just a week or so ago.

BRING IT ON!!!

Shadowrun: Hong Kong is on track for an important milestone at the end of this month: Feature Complete! That’s when the code for all our new features is working in the game. There will still be a little placeholder art remaining for some of the new interfaces we’ve added, but the underlying code works like it’s supposed to and everything will be in the hands of the artists and the designers after that. For the engineers, it’s all bug fixes, tweaks, and polish for the rest of the project!

On a different front, we’re pretty excited because as of today, Shadowrun: Hong Kong has its very own Steam page, complete with our first set of screenshots and a teaser trailer

I really need to finish Dragonfall.  Soon I will have Hong Kong and Boston Lockdown to contend with.

And, for our 3 year anniversary, we’re also offering Shadowrun Returns and Shadowrun: Dragonfall - Director’s Cut at blowout prices - $2.99 and $4.50!!! This is a great weekend for new people to see what all the fuss has been about.

That is a steal...which is sort of appropriate for this franchise.   ;)

EDIT: And they even released another patch for Dragonfall:

Release 2.0.9 contains a variety of Shadowrun Dragonfall - Director's Cut campaign fixes and general system fixes and improvements. If you are encountering any issues in Dragonfall, please update to build 2.0.9 immediately. (To update, restart Steam and then allow Shadowrun Returns to fully verify and download the new build.)

After the update if you are experiencing a campaign-related issue, you may also need to restart your current scene (select "Restart Level" from the PDA) or rewind (select "Rewind" from the PDA save screen, then select a previous level) to before you encountered the issue in order to resolve the issue.

Tis a great day!  :D

Mitch here, with just enough bandwidth to pull my head out of polishing the game to let you know that Shadowrun: Hong Kong has an official release date!During the Kickstarter, we estimated that we would release the game in August... and that's why we're releasing the game in August!

August 20th, 2015 at 10am PST, to be specific. On Steam, GoG, & Humble.

I still have to finish Dragon Rising! I am about 50% done. I just can't get myself to play it during the summer as the game takes place in a snowy Berlin!  :) Guess I'll have to put Hong Kong on the back burner until next summer.  ;)

With my home internet connection taking some time to come back online, the good news is that I've had plenty of time to complete some games without the internet or other games distracting me.

I've just finished Dragonfall on normal difficulty and I liked it. The story was good enough. The missions were a bit generic, but still enjoyable. Some additional ways to move through a level would be nice for Hong Kong.

I ran into a single somewhat annoying bug, namely that the game seems to freeze in the neutral turn (that pops up after you cast the spell) if you cast Haste on neutral characters.

Did they fix the other one with the server issues

Yes, Chronicles (what was originally called "Shadowrun Online") works fine.

[undercovergeek]

i got confused

I'm happy to see the release date on this, but I have to say that if I had to work in that office I would probably end up going on a killin' rampage.

Open plan offices suck!

Chronicles? 


It's Boston.   Or "Bahhh-ston" for the purists.

[undercovergeek]

lol, so Boston is Chronicles?

or a seperate game  ???

Now you're attempting to confuse me. 


Shadowrun Chronicles is set in Boston.

Shadowrun Dragonfall (the single-player) is set in Berlin.

Game is released! Steam, GOG, and Humble Bumble.

Haven't even played it yet but hope to soon.

I was going to pick it up, but it seems a number of folks are talking about a "matrix mode" within the game and how it is implemented not being that great....what is that?
