Shadowrun Returns Kickstarter Finishes Big
The Shadowrun Returns Kickstarter has ended with more than $1.8 million in funding.
Back in early April, FASA mastermind Jordan Weisman [not Mechner] train wreck [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/116646-Shadowrun-Returns-Comes-to-Kickstarter] released on the Xbox 360 and PC, but now Weisman, who wasn't involved in that project, wants a shot at doing it his way. As it turns out, the internet is very happy to give it to him.
Shadowrun Returns brought in $1,836,477 on Kickstarter [http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1613260297/shadowrun-returns], a far cry from the $3 million mark set by Double Fine Adventure and Wasteland 2 but still a hell of a pile of money and well over the $400,000 goal. With PayPal donations added to the mix, the total rises to $1,895,772, enough money to create Mac, Linux and tablet editions of the game to go along with the PC release.
The action now shifts to the new site at announced [http://www.shadowrun.com/] last year. Shadowrun Returns is currently, and presumably very tentatively, scheduled for "delivery" in early 2013.
