ScrewyAurum Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 A Shadowrun cyberpunk cRPG set in 2056's Magically Awakened Hong Kong by the developers of Shadowrun Returns & Dragonfall. Platform: PC Release: TBA Genre: Science Fantasy Turn Based Tactical Role-Playing Game Kickstarter Page: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/webeharebrained/shadowrun-hong-kong The team that brought you the award-winning Shadowrun Returns and Shadowrun: Dragonfall - Director’s Cut is back with an all new, full length standalone cyberpunk tactical cRPG set in Shadowrun's magically Awakened Hong Kong of 2056. Shadowrun: Hong Kong has everything you expect from a Harebrained Schemes Shadowrun game: strong storytelling and sharp writing, lots of morally gray choices, a crew of memorable characters with distinct personalities, challenging tactical turn-based combat, a robust character creation system, and a one of a kind cyberpunk-meets-magic game setting that’s endured for over 25 years. When Shadowrun: Hong Kong was first teased in December, many wondered what this would mean for the studio’s long-term business model. One thing is certain. Harebrained Schemes wants to maintain its independence for the benefit of its fans. “We wish to avoid imperial entanglement,” Gitelman says. “We are fiercely independent and we only serve one master - our audience. He says this new approach to Kickstarter isn’t necessarily a maturing (the studio may decide to approach things as it has in the past once again) or a weening. “It’s adapting our approach to the needs of the project,” Gitelman explains. “Funding our games through Kickstarter allows us to talk with our audience and deliver a product they really want to play. It is both beneficial to the company (with a built in paying audience) as well as the community.” That relationship with the community has allowed Harebrained Schemes to grow five-fold since the launch of the first Shadowrun campaign in April 2012. The studio started with fewer than 10 employees and now employs nearly 50 individuals on three teams. These include Shadowrun, Golem Arcana, and another video game, Necropolis (to be demoed for the first time at PAX East). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heaven Angel Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 SWEET! Shadowrun: Hong Kong is on track for an important milestone at the end of this month: Feature Complete! That’s when the code for all our new features is working in the game. There will still be a little placeholder art remaining for some of the new interfaces we’ve added, but the underlying code works like it’s supposed to and everything will be in the hands of the artists and the designers after that. For the engineers, it’s all bug fixes, tweaks, and polish for the rest of the project! Nice. For a limited time before the release of Shadowrun: Hong Kong, get the Deluxe Edition with mp3 original soundtrack and PDF Art of Shadowrun: Hong Kong book included for the same price as the standard version! Steam. 33% off. $19.99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
