CarrionCrow: Yeah, it is. Just have to suffer to make that happen.

There's no way in hell they won't be making sequels with this one already being a success, and the revenue's only going to climb after its official release. This is the exact same process as with Shadowrun. They're starting with the basics, then they'll up the complexity and variety as it goes along.

That's one thing that makes Battletech superior to Shadowrun to me. They can't keep gradually building on like they have with Shadowrun. The game's set in 3025. 25 years after that, a huge faction of invaders known as the Clans show up to take over the galaxy. The Clans have their own Mechs, their own weapons, and it's all vastly superior to what the game world will have in 3025. Players will want that next. I know I do. And so, the company will keep having to build on what they have more heavily than they have with the Shadowrun series, because the lore, the canon, the 30 plus years of tabletop games and books have to be adhered to. If they try to stray from that, they'll make every single long-time player angry as all hell.
Wasn't there a lot of lost technology in the battletech universe? With Comstar having a monopoly on communications due to most everyone not having the technology for supraluminal communication, which they keep with an almost religious-zeal that bears more than a passing resemblance to adeptus mechanicus?

Perfectly understandable. I'd just be afraid I'd fall asleep before getting to eat it all. Seemed like a good compromise. ;)

akhliber: I've never played a Battletech game and know nothing of the universe. But knowing who is making it has me tempted to back it, as much as I've loved the Shadowrun games.
Me neither but i read a bit about the setting - which slightly reminds me of Dune (Great Houses and sci-fi feudal society etc.) and knowing who is the developer made me back it. Really looking forward to that one. Second Kickstarter for me after Bard's Tale IV :)

Yes, there is. Every once in a while, someone would find a cache from when the universe wasn't as screwed up and run down from fighting as it is in 3025. Comstar also had a lot of the techno goodies from earlier eras, but they don't break it out in full until the Clans wreaking havoc forces them to.
