So what happens now that the project has passed $2,500,000? Will we add additional funding goals and make the game even larger in scope?

No.



This is the single best thing I can read in a kickstarter.

I'm in it as well, and in a big way. I hope they pull through!

Glad they made full funding. Not too concerned about skirmish, like others here, coop would have been nice.

I am also pleased about the statement about not adding to and increasing the scope with further funding.

Keep the scope tight, any additional funding means more polished product and quicker release date.

Looking forward to playing this one.

Anyone know if I can back the project twice?

Basically, I'd like to secure 2 copies, one for myself and one to gift later.

You could always have a 2nd login I guess?

Seems like I read on their site they'll continue developing the game once their goals are finished. I'm just glad they're doing what they say and not shooting the moon and getting crazy with it. They also at least try to give a release date, May 2017, so we have some kind of idea what to expect. I'm sure things can happen, but at least they try...that's not bad.

Yeah if you look at the Digital Addons options for backers it looks like you can add a second digital copy for $25.

I presume that is for the final copy of the game. I was hoping for a second copy at the $50 backer level so it can have access to the beta as well.

So while coop is not being added originally it did sound like an expansion at some point. I am cool with that and love that they are using extra money for polish. So at this point I'm ready to get in the back of the car and repeat 'are we done yet' over and over.

Apparently they have access to the assets from MWO, including the mech models.

That's nice, they did a good job with that in MWO.
I wish we could get some look at gameplay, surely they have a mock up?
I'd REALLY like for them to put in a strung-together replay of the match to sit back and watch.

Yeah, having access to the cool MWO models is going to be awesome! I love BattleTech but some mech designs are just too '80s for today's crowd.

Reviving an old thread...

Harebrained put out the first video of Battletech Pre-Alpha gameplay for backers:


Quote:
Before you watch the video - please be aware that there’s bugs and missing features a-plenty here! We’re showing off where we’re at with combat gameplay here, warts and all. Some specific combat features that are part of the game but didn’t make it into this demo include: stability/falling, MechWarrior special abilities, reverse movement, better damage reporting, and melee. (We all really wanted to show off some of the awesome melee attacks the team’s been working on, but it’s still just not quite ready for primetime.) Note that this also doesn’t showcase any elements of the game’s campaign or story - this is an example of a single mission that you might embark on during your Mercenary career.
Anyway - with that said, here is your first look at BATTLETECH. Jordan and Mitch and I are incredibly proud of the work the team has already done on this project, and look forward to showing you more of the game later this year - and if you happen to be in Indianapolis this weekend for GenCon, stop by Booth 2329 to say hi and try the demo out for yourself!

Looks pretty sweet to me, can't wait thumbsup

I am pretty impressed with how good it looks already.

Glad I backed this one, looking forward to it!

Yeah that already looks 10X better that that stillbirth scam game from IGP "Mechwarrior Tactics" did after 2 years of development and selling "Founder" packages for it, thankfully I didn't back it because they closed up shop and provided nothing for the money.

I backed this one due to the devs track record, and am really glad I did.

I'm excited before watching the video just seeing the word "mission" in there. MWO would be so awesome with a co-op campaign, storyline and solid missions.

Looks like it's being built with controllers in mind. thumbsup

Yeah, if they ever had a co-op mode vs AI it would awesome too.
