Shadowrun Returns Pushed Back

The Kickstarter funded Shadowrun Returns was originally planned for release in January 2013, but it has been pushed back to an ambiguous May/June 2013 launch.

The delay is due to the need to add additional features and expand the scope of the game. When the Shadowrun Returns Kickstarter began, developer Harebrained Schemes was seeking $400,000, but it was able to quadruple that amount from interested investors. The additional money means Harebrained Schemes is able to make a much larger game, which of course means additional development time is necessary.

Wow, Didn't even know this was happening! Good for Shadowrun, hopefully they'lll be able to redeem themselves from the 360 release.-Shame

Peace

Ok I am confused about the "investor" label, do kickstarter contributors get a profit if the game sells well?
by Benny Shores Sunday, November 25, 2012 at 03:00 PM

Woot! I mean, it's a shame about the delay but it's cool that the thing is still happening. Woot!

Investors, or donors? I thought kickstarter was for beggar companies?

Perfectly fine with me. Quality > meeting a deadline

What's with the picture you used for this article?

Oh darn.

What if the Harebrained Scheme is to release a cheaply made piece of *** and pocket the cash?
by moonark Sunday, November 25, 2012 at 06:17 PM

I hope it comes through. Too many kick starters get their money and never deliver.

Oh. I just clicked on this story just because of the gun-wielding turkey.

This whole "kickstarter" thing is just another way to ask for handouts! No one works for their keep anymore! I started selling shower curtains, but through hard work and some genius on my part, I now own the leading research and development company on the planet! Take notes next time!

I opened this page thinking it'd divulge schematics for cybernetic turkeys. Instead I got some picture with a skull on it, and people complaining they can't meet a simple deadline! Time to get back to splicing monkey and alligator genes together.

Cave, out

Disappointing but understandable.

Just bring back the Genesis version of Shadowrun. Loved that game...
by musicalham Monday, November 26, 2012 at 01:18 AM

Well it sounds like a justified reason to push it back.
