Darkhold posted:Well at this rate there's no way Environmental Destruction isn't going to be in. With the accelerated pace of the last few days £500K with more factions is quite reasonable. Anything more would take a miracle though. I think you're reading that wrong. Environmental destruction is at £440k, which is well within reach given the funding levels of the past few days.

loving katanas! I was loving the Assassin's design with the machete until I saw he had his glorious nipponese blade. I hope his melee attacks aren't regulated to just using it since I want him to be a primary stealthy and stabby guy.

That's not a katana, that's a loving broadsword. Katanas are curved with round guards, broadswords are straight-bladed and cruciform handguards

It's a future katana, they are allowed to make some changes. Probably doubles as a emergency wifu-love pillow when out on long term assignment.

Given how well shadowrun is being received, that irrationally gets my hopes up for this to come through. And always remember, the man made MF Startopia.

Gooble Rampling posted:While I am also tired of "that guy" I have to disagree that the concept art really looks that close to what you are describing. It looks to me more like a parkour Tricky with electronics and blades. Overall pretty cool. More like futuristic witcher - three weapons, only chest leather-like armor with bunch of pouches and belts on it

Is it just me or is this design substantially more ambitious than something like Shadowrun Returns and supposed to be executed with a third of the money?

Leb posted:It does, indeed, look ambitious but isn't there going to be a lot less focus on story/RPG elements in Reign? Yes, they are focused mostly on getting the systems right. The story will be minimal much like the old Syndicate games. If they get to that stretch goal for the writer guy to come on board then it might be a fuller story but even then this type of game is essentially playing in a fun little sandbox with your trench coat clad toy soldiers.

I really hope they phone up inXile and Obsidian as Obsidian said they received a lot of Unity tips from inXile that really helped them along. InXile seems to really want to help other kickstarters and should be willing to pass along the same tips to Satellite Reign. That alone should save them time and money. Shadowrun really suffered being the first major Unity kickstarter and I believe their attempts to make it for tablet and PC must have hurt them a bit.

Think you might want to timg that image. Well weekends always have a slowdown so it's bad timing (which they admitted to) that it will end on a weekend. Still on track for £440k environmental destruction. It's strange that this has become the goal I'm so focused on. It's not something I really care about. I guess it's the one that's most within reach but has a chance of missing. Really the 500k one is the one which would add the most to the game I feel.

Well, they made the Localization stretch goal of 400k. The next one that everyone is clamoring for is Environmental Destruction (building leveling, etc.) at 440k. I am doubtful that they'll make that by Sunday but I could be wrong. I almost hope they don't make it so they aren't spread too thin on feature creep.

They made more than 50k is the previous two days, the last two days are likely to be even bigger than that.

Looking briefly at the Kickstarter information, this is looking cool, but I'm not quite convinced to drop in any funding yet. It was mostly the "[...]use propaganda to influence the citizens of the city and overthrow the controlling powers" line that got me interested; So on a scale from "not at all" to "yes that is exactly it", how much is this going to be like a futuristic action RTS Liberal Crime Squad?

Alright update time. Considering how fast and furious they were with the updates a few weeks ago it's a little surprising how quiet they've gotten for the last few days. Reflections alot of technical talk over the video so that's good if you're into that. If you're a big dummy like me though just look at the pretty pictures while his voice soothes you to sleep. Also a live twitch TV stream Edit: Misread the email in my haste to post the news. Corrected sorry about that. Thanks for pointing that out.

Well the final twelve hours have started and apparently with the paypal totals we're over the Environmental Destruction Stretch goals so there's that. Still feel like they've utterly misunderstood add-on pledges as they still are not offering the novellas or the artbook as separate items though you can add your name to the NPC pool or something now  I really hope these guys are better at making games then running kickstarters. New video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4r-SqhLt0s showing them 'augmenting' an agent. Haven't fully watched it yet but it looks fairly decent. Edit: beaten

Just to keep the thread alive, here's some more news. The latest word is that they have been scouting cheap office locations and acquiring some assets from their former employers while waiting for the actual Kickstarter funds to be transferred. They should be up and running with a proper update soon. I imagine they will have a post with some images of the office space, etc.

I chatted to one of the devs today and they're just doing all the really boring legal poo poo, pretty much as that update implies. Once they have an office I'm gonna go make a nuisance of myself there.
