Coming this summer
One of the concerns I’ve had that could affect a possible Kickstarter bubble burst is a sort of “what next?” Fans fund an IGA-ledCastlevania-like en masse, then what? Do they fund it again once the novelty wears off?
In 2012, developer Hairbrained Schemes took to Kickstarter with theeventually quite goodShadowrun Returns, making nearly $2 million, or more than 4 times the funding goal.
Then there was the also-goodShadowrun: Dragonfall.
And earlier this year, a Kickstarter for a third game,Shadowrun: Hong Kong, which wasfunded immediately. It made $1.2 million off an even more meager $100,000 goal. It sets…some kind of precedent. The well’s not dried up yet, at least.Hong Kong‘s coming to PC, Mac, and Linux this summer and it looks quite nice.
