I was hoping for Rio De Janeiro.

The choices were Berlin, Chicago, Denver, Hong Kong, London, or additional Seattle real estate.

There's a poll for Shadowrun to determine the second city (first is Seattle). It narrowed down to Hong Kong and Berlin. If you got the email, please vote for Berlin! or don't, because a cyberpunk Asian city is a totally fresh idea you'd like to see.

The only one I can really remember outside of anime is Neo-Kobe in Snatcher. That was in 1988.

The two most recent cyberpunk games, Deus Ex HR and Syndicate, are all up in China.

It's nice when there's something different, like Paris in DX1 or Cairo in Invisible War. Of the choices, Berlin is the most interesting to me.

I think the additional Seattle would've been the underground/sewers.

Grim Dawn kickstarter is ending tonight. Already funded, but if you want to still get in, today is the last chance.

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/crateentertainment/grim-dawn

It's at $464k already. Additional goals and unlocks are:

$465k - Additional end-game boss (total of 3) to encounter in some dark and dangerous corner of the world.
$480k - New survivor town hidden in the remote wilderness for you to discover. Will include a new faction group and new quest-lines to unlock once you've gained their trust.
$490k - 2 additional monster types (models and animations) and another 25 extra pieces of unique item art
$500k - A new dungeon art-set with a choice of catacombs or sewers that you'll get to vote on.
$520k - SURVIVAL MODE! We'll create a new gameplay mode that will be free for all backers (KS or Website Pre-order). In survival mode players will fight to stay alive against increasingly difficult waves of monsters. It will release sometime after the game so as not to delay development.

Gotta remember to pledge when I get home. Realistically the $480k can happen with the final push of pledges.

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #728 on:** May 18, 2012, 10:12:05 AM »

It'll likely hit $520k in the last few hours.

Doesn't look like SpaceVenture is going to make it without a major boost at the end. It still needs $140k and it's only got 5 days left.

Bebpo · « **Reply #769 on:** June 07, 2012, 10:22:34 AM »

They might. Last minute boosts are pretty big.

That being said, what were they thinking setting it at 500k? Most of these kickstarters keep it at 300-450k for a reason, to make sure they actually collect the cash at the end.

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #770 on:** June 07, 2012, 10:26:49 AM »

It'll get a big boost in the last 24 hours or so, as some people on the fence jump in and those who have already contributed up their amount, but it's still just an outside shot of making it at this point. They really need someone [or a group of someones] to jump in at the 11th hour with a big contribution.

But isn't it based on the same principle? Open physics with sword clashing as if they would in real life?

Mount & Blade and the unreleased something-or-other of Roses make sword fights more complex with directions and stuff. The kickstarter is trying to be a sim, I think.

Sounded neat at first but mention of a motion controller lost me. Initially I thought it was going to be like severance controls mixed with bushido blade.

I kicked in for the Neal Stephenson sword-fighting game, just 'cause it seems like the kind of nerd-craziness that really needs to exist. Not keen on probably having to buy new h/w to actually play it but fuck it, cheaper than an actual sword
