Waiting for payday, then I'm gonna pledge the CRAP out of this.

<3 Shadowrun. It was my introduction to Cyberpunk.

Awesome find! Played the pnp rpg in college and played on the sega. Matter of fact just a few months ago I played in emulation on my PC the SnES version. I'll definitely be backing this.

Just pledged $100 to Shadowrun. So excited! (As are apparently a lot of other people, in the last day it's jumped almost $300K in funding.)

Also backed the Exocomics book. While this isn't a game, it is a kickstarter I dig. I think Exocomics is an awesome break from reality.

I like the fact that ideas that people actually like are getting funding instead of what "market research" shows to be profitable. Something like this could be a huge threat to certain corporations.

I thought the same thing until I realized that the giants will probably just buy the IP and then create an endless stream of crappy games to milk the IP for all its worth.

I'm almost 90% sure Bethesda is going to try to stop the development of Wasteland 2 somehow.

Then they will always be behind.

If they have any brain the corporations won't be worrying about anything until the games are actually released and we see what kind of support a final version gets after all the message board enthusiasts are weeded out in the funding stage.

Interesting game. This is the second game by the team of two. I liked the side scrolling combat aspect of it.

Backed it for the price of the game. Amusingly, it reminds me of this old NES game Faxanadu. Except much faster paced with more Castlevania thrown in.

Brian Fargo's newest video updating Wasteland has me pumped up. If you're not backing it yet, you should seriously consider doing so.
