All this talk about triggers, now I'm going to have this song (Trigger Happy Jack by Poe) stuck in my head for quite awhile. Thanks everyone! >.>

I thought I typed this yesterday but it appears to have not made it. Do we have a firm date for when the late pledges will be able to add to the PM or how all of that will work? I late pledged on Black Plague too in a moment of weakness so I'm trying to make sure I keep all of these projects straight, especially since I'm wrapping up a move. I want to make sure my new address is in there and everything

All that's been stated is that late pledges are available until they open the pledge manager, and that the pledge manager will be available to both backers and later backers.

I'd assume that both sets of people would have access at the same time, it's just that the date of the PM opening is currently unknown!

EDIT: They do say "this month". Which probably means "September".

Hi, another update. Pledge Manager will be next week.

I'm sure someone will hop in and be like "but why does she have a pistol and an smg???? or other silliness. I like the model though and I appreciate that it's not cheesecake. I'm very happy to hear the PM is just around the corner.

Yeah, that's kind of already happened...

Not half bad! I appreciate the trigger discipline on the left pistol hand, even if it is lacking on the right

That and the holster; it really isn't conducive to cross drawing

Yeah, I thought Wehrkind already commented on that too?

What, you guys never end up holding your weapons like that after some casual firearms juggling?

Sorry if I missed that. I seen his comment on trigger discipline, but nothing on the set up of the holster.

Wehrkind doesn't take kindly to odd/off poses for guns-n-swords.

Aaaand I just noticed that the holster for her pistol is on the wrong hip, unless she drew right handed and then switched to the left for... reasons.

Almost.

The pose doesn't bother me a lot actually. I have seen a lot of women standing like that when holding something fairly heavy over their shoulder, the same side leg supporting the weight. Maybe they were all just flirting with me, but that seems fairly unlikely. Then again, that rifle isn't likely to be heavy enough that the pose would be the most comfortable.

That's what I get for missing this thread for a while and only reading the last page

Hehehe, it is just one of those things that a few moments of research could help with. It bugs me when people don't do that when their job is to make stuff.

Another Friday, another update.

Reminds me of the old Cyberpunk RPG where you could just randomly get an extra cyber arm.. symmetrical or not. While unconventional, it is interesting to me.

It kind of looks like that one IS symmetrical though - the other arm is just lined up nicely with the human arm.

Either way, very cool looking mini!

Oh, I can kinda see it now. The depth and angle obscure that.. even better!

Is that a suit with integral nueral interface or a body conversion.

Not sure about for this game. For Shadowrun, if it was an NPC I would run it as a body mod but if a player wanted to do it, I'd make it a suit and require rigging to operate it just to avoid having to figure out how much essence it would cost.
In Cyberpunk I'm pretty sure it was just a body mod. IIRC I had a character with extra arms and they were grafted on through cybernetics.

My reason for questioning this is because the arms are sleeved. That could be 'flesh' but it looks to me more like clothing.

Now the extra arms is over the clothing, so either this is a naked full body conversion like a Dragoon. All the full body conversons except the Alpha normally went around 'naked'.

Alternately if this is clothing it somehow fits under the cyberarm, which makes for more sense for the entire unit to be a suit into which the user fits and connects to through interface plugs.

As a user most would far prefer the latter. Having a third arm means a wetwire connexion , however we are not Zaphod, or a tech priest and dont want a third arm even if we want to be post human, only a very few will want to go all the way, most will prefer human form.
As a suit this problem goes away, you step in have three arms and super abilities, then you step out. You dont lose your humanity in the process.

Hi guys,

Today is Friday it's time to update. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1803723298/human-interface-nakamura-tower/posts/1357337

The late pledge will be closed by the end of next week and at the same moment the pledge manager will be launched. This is the last chance for taking advantage of the Kickstarter offer and getting the limited for KS figure of Shoko 2.0, Patrick "The Hound" Murphy and Chris "The Rush" Cooper. The great models won't be available anymore.

PM is open if anyone missed the announcement. Check your spam folders for invites etc.
Just locked down my pledge (can still feel the sting on my wallet).

Maybe I missed it but is the PM gonna be open to folks who didn't back it? I decided after it ended that I might wanna get in on it after all Or will we just have to wait for retail?

Pretty sure late backing ended when the PM opened up.

The late pledge has been open for a few months and you likely missed it. In this thread there is a link for the late pledge.. you can attempt to use it but they said in the post above mine that it would be closed this past Friday I believe.

Ah well, I snoozed and lost. Sent em a KS message and asked if it's really too late. Guess I could wait for retail but I'd like to get the bonus goodies

Lucky me! I got in at the later than last minute

I think you can still late pledge at the link posted above: http://www.hint-thegame.com/ks-late-pledge

I tried it earlier and it still seems to work perfectly, I tested it as far as loading into PayPal.
