Jordan Weisman Aiming To Kickstart Shadowrun Returns

Can anyone still hear me? I’m typing through this tiny hole in the piles of Kickstarters, to try to tell you that there’s another one for a sequel to Shadowrun. Wait, no, sorry Jane Jensen, I’m trying to talk about Jordan Weisman’s project. No, Al Lowe, I’m talking to you later tonight. Come on guys, get back in line.

Link, for those of you interested.

2012, year of my financial ruin.

What's next? Kickstarter for HD Pong?

Well, this approach might actually be a good thing. Lots of great developers from the past ended out of business when the industry went corporate, ppl that put pc gaming on the map in the first place. Ppl who probably dreamed of gaming developing into something slightly different from what it has become. I think pc gamers know a thing or two about that feeling

They should kickstart a Nocturne sequel

Kickstarters may backfire and bite us in the arse or open completely new niche market.

Anyways, as much as I'd like to aid Shadowrun devs, I am done supporting indies for now. I paid shitloadz of moneyz for the Banner Saga and Wasteland 2. I also pre-ordered Age of Decadence. My gaming budget is out for 2-3 months.

Yesss they should but I think there's a copyright problem, Terminal Reality sold it's rights to the game publisher. For example Bloodrayne (from the Bloodrayne games) was originally Svetlana, the damphir who appears in Nocturne, but the publisher wouldn't let them use any character from that game so they opted to turn her into this redhead half-vampire, they also changed Roosevelt's Spookhouse secret service into Brimstone Society, etc. Besides, TR is more into Star Wars and Ghostbusters games nowadays

I wonder who has the ip rights nowadays since GoD died.
