Shocked

Sounds very interesting!
If you have some spare change, why not help out?

I am surprised that you are even interested in this, ivar, as I have always pictured you being more of a UFO nut.

Heh, my nuttiness covers a broad range of topics.
Also pleasantly surprised of seeing you not trolling for a change. P

Kidding aside, this Kickstarter thing really is a great movement(?).
Gives real talent a chance instead of a bullet to the head, like an industry usually does to out of the box endeavors.

The kind of vision we´re seeing is kinda like an X-COM like game in terms of it´s perspective and tactical depth ..

I think I made a mess in my underpanties.. Blink

The more I hear about it the more it´s getting from "awesomer" to "awesomestest".
Also hilarious to watch on every new update his mind getting blown by all the support.

Kinda glad it´s staying single player though. There´s already another great multiplayer MMO version announced: http://www.shadowrun.com
Also those two are coordinating the lore with each other, pretty cool stuff.
Heck they even launched SHE (Shadowrun High-Council of Elders), an informal advisory council that has the old book writers like Hammelmann & Dowd etc. to make sure stuff stays consistent.

The hell with it. I'm backing Wasteland 2, might as well back this one too so I just did.

Then I saw there is also Double Fine Adventure being made ! Shocked Any way to get on the backer bandwagon after the sign on period has expired ?

Only 45K left till they have a mill!
Incredible.
Check out the above Kickstarter page for the interesting last two new updates(USB Dogtags - OZOM). Cool

Meanwhile they have compiled a nice primer to the World of Shadowrun:

Only 4 days to go and they are SO close to the 1.5 mill mark. Shocked

Anyway this was a great ride. Pity I couldn´t pitch in but hopefully buying the actual game will not be so problematic for us outside of the US.

There are a couple of interviews Weisman has given in the mean time.
Here´s another good one where he even talks about his other brainchilds like Mechwarrior:
