Thanks Eye.

More information.

Well it's good that they have a $365,422 buffer above their final goal; that'll give them a little wiggle room in case one of the goals proves more costly than expected.

Big step up from their previous campaigns. Looks like they have 2 solid franchises now.

Waiting for first ingame screens to feast eyes on their art style.

Excited about this one.

I didn't back it coz they did the hype but didn't show anything (that I saw) of what the game might actually look like.

Will be watching to see how it pans out.

Interesting footnote... Whilst in the shed I dug out my 20+ year old 1st edition Battletech box set on the weekend. Box is a bit battered but the contents are still in perfect condition. There's a 2nd Ed copy of Mechwarrior and 3 Nova Battletech combat books but no rule book which is a bummer. It's probably in one of the other crates (I hope).

Looking forward to this one, and Harebrained remain in my good books.

I still don't really buy the idea that they started building this without deciding whether it would be multiplayer, but I guess they have to play the KS game.

Yeah you don't turn a game from SP to MP for a few bucks more.

Still I'm mildly curious about this one.
