I ran across a article in this month Official Xbox Magazine ..it discussed about Crowd-Funding through successful site like Kickstarter is challenging the game industry's status Quo. then i flip the page and found this:
In September 2007, Microsoft closed FASA Studios and licensed the Shadowrun electronic entertainment rights to Smith & Tinker, a company owned by Jordan Weisman, one of the original creators of Shadowrun. In 2012, Weisman's company Harebrained Schemes launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund the development of Shadowrun Returns, a 2D turn-based single player role-playing video game. Aprox. 1.8 million US dollars was pledged, four times more than the 400 thousand dollar goal. The estimated release date is January 2013.
2013 (projected) – Shadowrun Returns (Harebrained Schemes; PC, Linux, Mac, iOS and Android tablets)
2013 (projected) - Shadowrun Online (Cliffhanger Productions; all browsers/tablets via the Unity Web Player)
hmmm i used to love shadowrun... this will be interesting to see what comes of it?
*mod's: i couldnt post this in Official Game Chatter cause there is no post new thread button??
