Game News Shadowrun: Hong Kong Kickstarter Update #5: $450k raised, three more stretch goals unlocked

[Jedi Exile]

Everyone contributing $15+ will receive a Steam key for Shadowrun: Hong Kong. Note: This is different from KS $15 tier, as you will not receive the soundtrack. Unfortunately. However, that's okay, as we'll get something nice instead.

So I can back it via Codex? Cool, thanks.

Maybe there should be a newspost about the Codex fundraiser? I'm sure some people aren't even aware that we're doing one.

Yeah, I'll make it today, been a busy 24 hours, so I'm lagging behind on that.

Great deal you got with HBS Angthoron, I will put some money in the fund-raiser in February.

Awesome - for Codexian glory!

Pitched in for the glory of Codexia... I'll try and up that as February rolls around.

It seems that the kickstarter found its average pace around 18K $...

I hope this game is as good as Director's Cut DF.

Another goal down, Gaichu's side mission:

The new update (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/webeharebrained/shadowrun-hong-kong/posts/1113303) reads:

Our favorite (former) Red Samurai/Ghoul's personal side mission = UNLOCKED! Thanks so much for the opportunity to make it.

In case you were wondering about Wu and Racter's personal side missions, we assure you that there's a plan. At the basic level, their stories will be part of shadowruns we've already planned (similar to how Dietrich's background was tied into the Humanis run in DF). But, of course, there's more to it than that... aaaaand that's all we're gonna tell you. :D

Just rest assured, we're not going to create two cool characters like these and not give you the chance to find out what makes them tick! We're confident that when you experience the story, they'll feel fully fleshed out like the rest of your crew.

And now that you've succeeded in unlocking Gaichu's personal mission, it's on to THE MATRIX!

The Shadowrun Returns team nearly killed themselves to get our original Matrix art and gameplay in the game and we're still extremely proud of that effort. But just like Thorin and Company, we ache to return again and make things right.

Onward!

If nothing else, HBS are very efficient at sending these update emails as soon as a stretch goal is reached.

With the current pace it looks like the matrix upgrade will be unlocked in a week or so - which would be great, I think that was one of the weaker points of the first two games.

 

[naossano]

I wonder why they didn't add upcoming stretch goal already.
I expected the matrix to happen faster, and focused my expectation in unknown stretch goal, like the astal plane.
Now, with only one known stretch goal left, i think it is time to add new ones.

They should really add the next few goals in.
