A new kickstarter update for System Shock by Nightdive Studios updates us on how preproduction is going and shows us some concept art of a Cyborg Assassin and a Mutant Cyborg.

Hi everyone!

Jason here with this month's update. In the future, we're going to have other folks on the team write updates since it shouldn't be just me having all of the "fun" :p
Project Update

Things are progressing along quite nicely so far. We're currently about 30% through preproduction with most of our lead team assembled and are working on documentation and proving out our pipelines. This is typically the least fun phase of game development since it's a lot of meetings and documentation, but it's also one of the most important phases since it lays the foundation for the rest of the project.

One of the most interesting aspects of this phase is that we've been meeting with some of the original devs from System Shock 1 like Austin Grossman, Dorian Hart, and Paul Neurath. The goal is to sync up as much as possible with the original devs to understand what Shock meant to them, get as many details as possible about pretty much everything, and determine what they would have liked to do back then if they had today's tech. We're striving to do this brand justice, and that starts with the amazing folks that created it.
Q&A

Every month, we'll compile some questions we've been seeing in the community and answer them as best as we can here.

Q: When will we be able to donate via Paypal?

A: We have all of our legal stuff sorted out for it, but still need to wire things up on the website and Backerkit. We'll probably have a bulk of it finished early next month, but probably won't bring it live until January since it will be easier for us to start it in a new tax year.

Q: Where are the forums?

A: I'll talk about that below :)

Q: When can we expect our SS1 and 2 steam keys for our backer reward?

A: Daniel should be sending those out within the next few days. Keep an eye on your email address that you used to back our campaign.

Q: Can backers that missed the Discord invite still get an invite to the developer Discord server?

A: Yup! We'll have invite codes in our forums once they're up.
