Since the huge success of Double Fine's Kickstarter for a new adventure game, other companies are trying to get their franchises up and running with the help of some loyal fans.  A new Kickstarter page has started up by the creator of Shadowrun, Jordan Weisman, and his studio, Harebrained Schemes.  The game he's looking to make is Shadowrun Returns , a graphically rich 2D turn-based single player game with deep story interaction, meaningful character development, and highly-contextual tactical combat that will be released for mobile tablets and PC.  The goal is to reach $400,000 by April 29th, but at the time of the writing this article, the amount accumulated was $299,251.

Here's a video that gives a brief overview of this project:

As of a fan of the console Shadowrun games, I'm definitely getting behind his project.

Update:  Update:  Well that didn't take long.  In fact, it took only 28 hours for Shadow Returns to be fully funded.  Currently, the project is sitting at $601,871.  Due to the extra funding, Harebrained Schemes is going to be adding a few extras to the game:

 

-  Mac version – available for everyone and also included at the $15 backer level (We can’t change what the description says but it’s true!)

-  Additional languages: German, French, and Spanish

-  And . . . RIGGERS!

Harebrained Schemes has also announced that if they reach $1 million, they'll add even more to the game:

 

-  A second city to explore. Which city? Well, that will be for Backers to decide! We’ll create a list of cool places for you to vote on. More on that later!

-  A more powerful and more accessible (less ugly) mission editor, so more people can tell deeper stories in the world of Shadowrun.

-  A musical score that resonates like the SNES and Genesis soundtracks did in the Long-Ago.
