Shadowrun: Hong Kong Update #21, $934,147 and Counting

The Shadowrun: Hong Kong Kickstarter campaign has just a few more days before it’ll run its course and we can start discussing its total numbers and the team’s progress on the title, so it’s not really surprising to see a new update being released. Aside from a number of Shadowrun-themed Valentine’s Day cards, the update offers a look at some concept art pieces for the revamped Matrix, and a thank you video directed to the backers from the developers.

An excerpt:

As we noted in a previous update, sculpted systems are distinct digital representations of their owners (usually megacorps) within the Matrix. Rather than accept the standard look of the digital world (which is getting its own facelift, btw), these corps spend a bunch of nuyen to customize their domain. Now sculpted systems may look flashy but they aren’t just for show. As one Backer so eloquently put it, (…they’re basically a ‘˜You came to the wrong neighborhood’ sign for deckers!)

We look forward to exploring more of the Matrix as we move deeper into production. Thanks again for the opportunity to work on it, y’all. We’re having fun.
