Shadowrun Returns - Kickstarter Funded!

Shadowrun Returns has been funded on Kickstarter in 28 hours. The latest dev update promises an OSX version at $425k, which has long been passed ($475k as I write). Here's a snip from the update and head over to watch a "thank you" video from the team:

Wow, that was incredible.
From the bottom of our hearts, we'd like to say THANK YOU to everyone who has backed us so far. If we weren't working our butts off on our new game, we'd be dancing around the Closet (our tiny office) with tears of joy streaming down our faces. Instead, the team is heads-down at their computers, sniffling loudly and wiping their eyes with their shirt-sleeves.
To everyone asking about a Mac version of the game, we've been saying that if we hit the $425,000 level, we'd add it. Linux support is definitely on the table too! (After all, who'd be a better Decker?)
In Jordan's video update below, he talks about things we could add to the game if we hit higher funding milestones. We're working on clarifying those milestones and will have an update for you before the weekend (in Seattle).

Anyone interested in this?Thats big money for 2 days.

I donated. I'm sure plenty of others here did too.

I have been waiting for another Shadowrun game for a long time.

PS. It is almost at $600,000.

Yeah, I donated. Might up it too, this is sounding epic.

I signed up as well - brings back memories!

I donated as well…I love the shadowrun universe.

Up to $608,877 today. I like the $1,000,000 goal. New setting = new content. I thought I was kickstartered out but this was too good to pass up. Now in invested in 6 projects.

The second I saw Shadowrun AND the original creator of the series wanted to make a turn based game I backed it in seconds. They seem to be getting it too. We want a deep rich single player turn based RPG in the best setting EVAR!

Can't wait for this!

Daniel.

Tada:
14,381 Backers
$641,864 pledged of $400,000 goal
21 days to go

Seriously thinking on uping my pledge after the promised focus on singleplayer and the lure of a great music soundtrack.

Like I posted on the comments there, this can be the Arcanum (subtract steampunk for cyberpunk) of its generation, if they get it right. Fingers crossed :)

Yeah, I increased my pledge simply based on how awesome this is sounding. I have high hopes!

What's awesome is that they are going to ship a level editor.
