A Kickstarter Project to create a new (2d, turn-based) Shadowrun video game has come online. That’s pretty badass, especially if you’re a fan of the old SNES and Genesis games. There’s a lengthy description and concept, as well a long list of goodies you can buy once they game gets made. Given that they intend to make a quick, simply 2-D sucker to show what they came do (and then presumably use that as a seed for bigger projects), they plan on having it out early next year. Awesomesauce. Take a look, and if you’re an old-schooler like me, think about donating. And if you’re not, saddle up and learn yourself somethin, whippersnapper!

Do it! Yes! I have a friend on the dev team, and we are looking with delight and amazement at the income so far… ---

I was going to post this yesterday but I wanted to make sure it was kosher and I didn’t hear back from a mod in time. But yeah, this is going to be a great project. I too have at least one friend on the development team and might even get to be involved with the project (hoping, hoping!) They’ve hit their $400K goal in a little more than a single day, but additional funds will be used for things like a Mac version and translating into other languages (first one will be German–SR has a huge following in Germany). So excited about this! My donation has been made and I can’t wait for them to get started on producing the game. ---

I have been complaining for years now that I don’t have a good 2D Shadowrun game to play. I am more than happy to give them my 15 bucks. ---

Things are moving along nicely! I expect they’ll hit $700K pledged today (they’ve already posted some new goals at additional funding levels) and I would be very surprised if they didn’t top $1 million by the end of the month. There’s a lot of pent-up old school Shadowrun love out there, clearly!
