BattleTech is being brought back by its original creators as a turn-based ‘Mech combat game. The game will be set in the 3025 Succession Wars otherwise known as, “Classic BattleTech.” You'll play as the leader of a mercenary company who has to manage their group from finances, to the loadout of your ‘Mechs. The game is on Kickstarter now, and has already had the base game funded along with the single-player.
The baton isn't being passed as much as looted off a collapsed old hero.
"The Seville-based (Spain) indie games developer QUICKFIRE GAMES are today very proud and happy to announce that their the tactical rpg “Prelude Dark Pain“, is now fully funded via Kickstarter." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
Members of the Harebrained Schemes studio discussed the lessons they took away from The Lamplighters League, a game that Paradox Interactive described as commercially weak and a “big disappointment.”
Really hope people get behind this. Harebrained Schemes has done a fantastic job with 3 Shadowrun games and this looks to be another great revival and an example of how kickstarter can be used the right way to get the games we actually want.
Good, TB stomps all else.
