Eiger's custom weapon

I swear, everyone got Eiger's assault rifle. I ended up with her getting voltaic grenades.

eiger's weapon upgrade is a ranger arms sm3 sniper rifle which can indeed be bought from the arms dealer. eiger's custom weapon is this:

Spoilerifically unnecessary.

 

[zero29]

why, there's no info about how/where to get them and the game is out for how long? but i'll add spoiler tags anyway...

 

[agris]

zero29 How do you get the roomsweeper? I've never seen it before. You also left out the slap dash pistol and dwarf riggers tazer pistol.

 

[zero29]

Spoiler

apex rising maybe? iirc it can be found in the armory of the apex sublevel together with the m79. yeah, i think it was inside the safe.

haven't found the slap dash pistol (i think?) and i killed the rigger. sick bastard. there's also

Spoiler

another grenade launcher that i've already sold - the armtech mgl-6 - and the encephalon next cyberware obtainable during the lodge trial run.

 

[agris]

the slapdash can be bought from

Spoiler

the odd merchant during the 'recover the weapons shipment' optional quest. it's the shady pistol she offers to sell you via dialogue.

yesterday was the slowest day so far with:

$10.268

need 13.600 per day to reach 1000K. But with end surge that should be a given

How do these end surges typically play out? The last day will have similar funding to day 1 or 2?

 

[krist2]

Yeah, a bit lower than that usually. But one thing about this kickstarter is that they already had a base of supporters from the last kickstarter. And they were all made aware of this kickstarter on the first day, so this surge could be lower. But who knows..
The last 4 days of Divinity's kickstarter got them 1/3 of their end total pledge.

[Major_Blackhart]

Ahh, below 10k for the first time.

 

[himmy]

Gonna pull a Roguey and quote myself nailing it.

I'm expecting 600.000 unless they are really preparing something revolutionary.

Depends. There hasn't really been any large PC game projects since Kingdom Come: Deliverance (except for, maybe, Thimbleweed Park and its 625,000), so it will be interesting to see how a new project from someone returning to KS will be received. Worked well enough for Torment, and W2 wasn't even in beta back then. I think a strong enough pitch can put them in the one million range, but I'm always being overtly optimistic about these things.

Yes, we've thought of it.

That isn't a confirmation, but it looks promising.

At this rate the surge at the end will be required to snag the next stretch goal.

Day 01: $267,945

At this rate the surge at the end will be required to snag the next stretch goal.

A few updates that are less like infodump (about stuff that is important yet unexciting) and are more filled with enthusiasm and "Look this is awesome what we got planned for ya!" would go a long way.

Would have helped if they had a brief gameplay montage, they were working on it for several months now and the engine is in place, even if it was proof of concept video it would have gone a long way.

 

[veevoir]

From what I understand they are in pre-production, so no changes to engine yet. From interviews with Mitch it seems that they nailed the project scope, length, some main areas of what is supposed to go on and probably work on the script.

 

[Damned Registrations]

I almost kind of hope they don't make the stretch goal. I know they're relartively good at budgeting things compared to most devs, but I like the idea of them having an extra ~200k of reserve funds to cover unexpected development costs of the main game more than them having just barely the 300k they've budgeted for this expansion thing. Besides, I'm sure whatever leftovers they have from the budget will be used on the next game or an expansion one way or another.

Hey Howdy!

Remember how we always say that we're listening and taking your comments to heart? Well, here's an example for all the folks who don't play tabletop RPGs but want a way to support the project in a bigger way. It's a special reward level just for you! We call it "THE OPERATIVE" and it's a $65 STAND-ALONE REWARD LEVEL that doesn't combine with any of the other rewards. Check it out on the Main Page and then tell all your pixel-lovin'-no-dice-for-me friends about it.

And speaking of listening, great news on the Official (and stylish) Shadowrun synth-leather Messenger Bag. Because so many of you supported the project at THE COURIER Level and above, we were able to work with the manufacturer to increase the size of the bag! The new dimensions are 17" x "11 x 4". Big thanks to our Producer, Chris Klimecky for his mad negotiation skills.

For today's peek behind the curtain, one of the Passionate New Guys(tm) shares his approach to making your game.

[twincast]

So close... "The Operative" is a nice tier, but I have no need whatsoever for "The Complete Collection", while I want the sourcebook most of all, which still isn't part of anything affordable.
