.. Meanwhile, in another universe ...

Do you know of the Battletech game by HBS?

In Contrast to SC, this a kickstarted game which seems to deliver on what it promises.
I went in as a late beacker to see the game engine working in skirmish mode, and 10-12h later I was pleasently satisfied:
- There is already a "game" in there
- The Game mechanics of the tabletop game are perfectly well adapted, IMHO
- the recent update on the camapaign mode looks really thought through and promising

Ah, and by the way, HBS have proven to deliver on kickstarted Games:
"Shadowrun Returns"+ its successors keeps my busy and entertained since months.
There is more to scifi gaming than space sims, after all, chummers!

I am eager to know what your thoughts and opinions are on this.

Best regards,

I stopped following that game. How is it doing these days?

Ghostmaker:
Currently it's in beta, undergoing various testing by backers. Overall I give it a solid 8-9/10 -- it's not QUITE like the original tabletop, but it gives a pretty good turn-based experience as opposed to the first-person simulations (Mechwarrior).

Haven't seen anything of the story yet, but they do have a number of the original FASA writers on board so it probably won't suck.

dsmart:
Oh cool. I backed it, so I am going to go check in on it one of these days.

Is this a threat?
