Cliffhanger Productions Launches Kickstarter For Shadowrun Online

it was kinda funny, but I actually already saw a little information regarding Shadowrun Online when the Shadowrun Returns kickstarter was just underway (there was a link to it on their website).  There weren’t many details there at the time, but I was interested to see what would surface…a few months later, here we are as it suddenly pops onto Kickstarter. And I backed it (not like the money matters until it ends).

The video you were playing in the background also details how they plan for there to be several stages to gameplay, most notably how once you picked up a job/quest aka “Run”, you can spend time doing some preparation like talking/bribing contacts to get pieces of information that will potentially help you have a smooth Run (essentially, they may reveal alternative routes to the same goal).  It sounds like it could be interesting, but we’ll have to see it executed to really get an idea of how big an impact it can have (and whether it adds to the fun of the game).

It also sounds like they’ll be doing fairly frequent updates regarding the various designs of the game (obviously largely to gain backer confidence and therefore more funds to the kickstarter), so will be looking forward to that stuff as it comes along.

In the mean time, I’ve already got too many other things to play: Mechwarrior Online, Mechwarrior Tactics (hopefully soon, hopefully good), GW2, Orcs Must Die 2, sprinkle a little LoL and Dayz in there, hopefully The War Z beta….and somehow squeeze in my job and other life stuff in there…lol.
