Congratulations! Shadowrun: bringing people together.

So proud of the team and the game (made under some tough conditions), butโ€ฆ cโ€™mon, youโ€™re asking a dad if his kid is cute!

Itโ€™s a rollicking tactics game. It rewards improv and risk taking, and gives the player lots of chances to craft their builds.

(It also goes on sale pretty regularly!)

A reminder of the simple but often forgotten truth that all three of Harebrained Shemes' Shadowrun games were brilliant. If you haven't played them, well, do so.

Things are definitely changingโ€ฆ

Havenโ€™t heard of it, will look it up!

Changelings are an underexplored monster in the pantheon. Shoot me a note when those come out!

27.04.2025 05:10 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Spread the word, it makes a big difference for the game!

27.04.2025 04:51 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Definitely. A key question for us is, how do we construct our identities? What do we choose to give meaning in our selves? Also, should I trade my arm in for that electro-tentacle from that thing I just shot?

For this one we like to say โ€œyou are the ship of Theseusโ€ meaning you will have to decide how you will change in order to survive.

Jotting this down, weโ€™re hitting some of the notes for our next one, but not all of them by any means!

25.04.2025 06:38 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 2    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Oof, I remember that one.

Have you ever played a game, hit the BIG NARRATIVE TWIST and it's totally changed how you feel about the game? For good/bad? Just the game title and feeling please (don't reveal twist) or else the spoiler police will lock me up for incitement.

Might skip this one if you don't like SPOILERS, jic.

Sorry about that and thank you.

Weโ€™re really excited about returning to the branching narrative of Shadowrun with GRAFT, though the type of story and the gameplay will be different!

Both wolves love that idea, unfortunately we donโ€™t have the license from Microsoft to make more Shadowrun.

Jon Everist's excellent score for Lamplighters got a chance to shine at the GANG Awards during GDC!

I am not immune to the coyoteโ€™s clever tricks!

The second one, always. Sometimes it wins quick and clean, sometimes it wins only when time runs out after a long bruising match, but that second one always ends up winning.

There are two wolves fighting inside you. The first one has 5 brilliant creative ideas for your game. The second wants you to cut 4 of them for scope reasons. Which one wins?

Tapping the q and e keys nonstop while using the Unreal CubeGrid tool to graybox maps. I wonder how uickly Iโ€™ll hav to r plac my k yboardโ€ฆ

Upgrading to Unreal 5.5.4 right now to get ready for our jam at the end of the week. We're making a teamwide push for a big jump forward in build!

The whole Arc is trying, but failing, to graft itself back together.
