Backers have already hit 12 funding goals that allow us to add more Side Missions, Expanded Magic, Enhanced Cyberware, a Revamped Matrix, and more!

But, in case you didnt know, weve one last funding goal - and we are SO CLOSE to reaching it!!

If we hit $1,000,000, well create an additional 4-5 hour Shadows of Hong Kong Mini-Campaign that takes place after the SR:HK story ends AND will allow you to IMPORT your high-karma Hong Kong character for a challenge only a prime runner could accept.

Shadows of Hong Kong Mini-Campaign will be FREE to Backers and available for purchase when it is released.

$15 - Shadows of Hong Kong Mini-Campaign (when we hit $1mil during the Kickstarter campaign!)

$25 - Mel Odom is writing our original Shadowrun: Hong Kong e-novel.
Mel is the author of several dozen books including three well-loved Shadowrun novels - Preying for Keeps, Headhunters, Run Hard, Die Fast and the forthcoming Deniable Assets. We cant wait to read his version of Shadowrun: Hong Kong.

$35 BONUS Rewards - An Audio Commentary Track and Two High-Res Digital Posters
All backers at this level and above will have access to an Audio Commentary Track from the Shadowrun Development Team.

$65 NEW Stand-Alone Reward Level- THE OPERATIVE
This is for all you pixel-lovin'-no-dice-for-me folk that were interested in a digital rewards tier that included all the new things were making without all the old school tabletop source material.

$150 tier - We made the Messenger Bag BIGGER! 17" x "11 x 4"!
The Messenger Bag will now fit larger laptops! Because so many Backers supported the project at the COURIER Reward Level and above, we were able to work with the manufacturer to increase the size of the bag.

We're excited to announce that we are making a brand new, full-length stand alone Shadowrun cyberpunk cRPG set in the Magically Awakened Hong Kong of 2056.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/webeharebrained/shadowrun-hong-kong

The project is budgeted, fully staffed, several months into development and on schedule for a mid-2015 release. We are very excited to tell this new story! Right now, its going to be 12+ hours long and at the quality level of Shadowrun: Dragonfall - Director's Cut.

But - this is Harebrained Schemes and, as always, we have more ideas than we have budget to make them. That's why we've launched a new Kickstarter campaign and are asking you to help Co-Fund the new game.

By backing the project, you'll increase our production budget and get more features, more improvements, and more game. Head over to the Shadowrun: Hong Kong Kickstarter page to find out more details and become a Backer.

We're gonna ship a great game but it can be even better with your help.

Our last Kickstarter adventure was a blast and we think the results speak for themselves. So we hope youll help co-fund our third Shadowrun game, Shadowrun: Hong Kong.

After you've backed us, we hope the next thing you'll do is help us spread the word. As you may know, creating momentum on the first day of a Kickstarter is incredibly important and we hope you'll help us get the word out by sharing the Kickstarter link [link] anywhere you connect to social media - Facebook, Twitter - using #shadowrunHK , Google+, Tumblr, your blog. smoke-signals...

We want to make the best Shadowrun game yet!

Thanks for your support!

Over the last few months we have been hard at work to bring you update 2.0.7. With this patch comes a hoard of bug fixes and even some more content. Several missions and conversations have been updated to allow the Player a greater range of freedom in choices, and the consequences that may or may not come with those decisions. Keep an eye out for these opportunities as you play, and be sure to try to find some of the new hidden "modes" to play the game in!

And if you're enjoying Shadowrun Dragonfall - Directors Cut then you should check this out, too!

Hey guys! The Director's Cut has been out for a week and we're already off to a strong start. But we think there's a lot more RPG fans out there that would enjoy the game - we want to reach them, and now there's a great new way you can help. Earlier this week, Valve unveiled their major "Steam Discovery Update" for the Steam store. Not only does the store look a lot blue-r now, but they've made some major changes to how games can be discovered and surfaced on the marketplace based on YOUR reviews and recommendations. Just in the last 48 hours we've seen Shadowrun Returns and Shadowrun: Dragonfall - Director's Cut appear on a number of great Steam Curator lists - and Kotaku Recommends among others - which is awesome!

If you love Dragonfall and want to help spread the word, there's two things you can do right now (I know I sound like a public radio broadcaster, sorry):

1. Leave a User Review for Shadowrun: Dragonfall - Director's Cut. (The review box is right near the top of our Steam Store page.) Valve has made user reviews a lot more important in the recent update, including a nice summary at the top of our Store Page - we're currently "Very Positive"!

2. Start Curating!
Here's a good overview of the new Steam Curators feature. The more Curators that add Dragonfall to their lists, the more we'll show up to players who follow you or who like similar games. Start a list of your own, or leave comments for some of your favorite Curators and suggest that they add Dragonfall to their lists!

Thanks guys! And, in the spirit of Steam Curation, we've started our own Steam Curator List on Steam. These are games we're big fans of here at Harebrained and that you might like if you enjoyed Dragonfall. Follow it here!

Lastly, in the week since launch we've received a TON of extremely kind words from you guys, from press, and from new players alike. I wanted to share a few of our favorites. It's incredibly heartwarming to receive this kind of direct feedback for the work that we're doing and it's one of the greatest parts of game development. Thank you all so much for a fantastic reception.

- Mike McCain, Game Director

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"The ultimate edition of Shadowrun Returns, the glorious return of the popular tech-meets-magic pen-and-paper role-playing game to the digital realm." - Kotaku

“As it stands, it’s the definitive Shadowrun experience, and is easily one of the best, if not the best, tactical-RPGs of 2014. Do yourself a favor and buy the game. Director’s Cut is clearly worth every penny.” - Hardcore Gamer

"If you haven't played it yet and any bone in your body enjoys isometric CRPGs, I don't even know why you're still reading this." - PCWorld

"Releasing an improved version of an already excellent game for free, this is how I wish all developers treated us fans. YAY HBS!" - A fan

Shadowrun: Dragonfall - Director’s Cut (our bigger, better and STAND ALONE release of Dragonfall) is now available!

For all of you existing Dragonfall DLC owners and Shadowrun Returns Backers, the Director’s Cut should now automagically* be present in your Steam, GoG or Humble library. You’ve been great supporters to our small studio and you’ve already bought the game once - we didn’t think you should have to buy it a second time. So here’s the latest and greatest version of the game for free. You guys rock!

Only one small request in return: If you like the game, please tell all your RPG-playing friends about it! And share the trailer! This is our biggest Shadowrun game yet, and we think that makes it the definitive Shadowrun RPG experience on PCs. It’s the perfect opportunity for existing fans and newcomers alike to get in on the action. The Director’s Cut (Windows/Mac/Linux) is available on Steam for $14.99.

Lastly, since I have a public platform for it right now: A HUGE, huge thank you to the rest of the Shadowrun dev team here, both past and present. I know each one of you has put a ton of passion, time, and talent into this game and it’s really paid off. I’ve never been more proud of our work, and of our contribution to the world of Shadowrun. And... we’ve said it before but I’ll say it again: Thank YOU, backers and fans, for your continued and constructive feedback, for always helping us get the word out, and for making the last two years of Shadowrun development possible. It's been an amazing experience and a wild ride.

-- Mike “The Director” McCain


*Steam: The Director’s Cut will automatically appear if you’ve redeemed your Steam Key for the DLC version of Dragonfall (since this is the only way that Steam knows you own the game). If you haven’t redeemed your key yet, don’t worry - when you do redeem it, the Director’s Cut should also appear. Your copy of the DLC version of Dragonfall will not be removed, it will continue to be downloadable and playable. If you are a Backer and still need your key, please email us at info@hbs-studios.com.
