Shadowrun Online Kickstarter Project Update #2, $88,000 and Counting

The Shadowrun Online folks have put out another update for their Kickstarter, where they clarify what they intend for browser game, share some nice-looking Shadowrun-themed avatars, and also give us a look at a digital flyer created to spread the word about the drive. Here’s an excerpt:

Client version

When the press release of our Kickstarter campaign hit the various online gaming news sites, there was a lot of discussion about Shadowrun Online being a “Browser game”. Now, we only meant to describe one way players can access the game, but many people out there thought “Oh my god, it’s a Casual Facebook game,” and told us so. But we can assure you: Shadowrun Online is a full fledged 3D game for real gamers! Have a look at our in-game screenshots that are now moved to the frontpage – thanks to Bruce, Honeybadger and others for pointing that out – or check out our current game “Jagged Alliance Online” which is currently in Beta, but it can show you what a “Browser” game can really do and www.cliffhanger-productions.com will get you there!

At the same time some of our backers were asking if the game would also be available as a client game on platforms like Steam, and so we discussed that with our engineers, and can now proudly say that we will also release a client version of it! With this it will be totally up to you to decide if you want to play it in your browser, which can be played in fullscreen mode like any other PC or Mac video game, or download the client on to your harddrive and play it from there. We think this will give you a little bit of an idea about what we can accomplish with Shadowrun Online!
