Not so dark future...
So, the game is down.
Servers contents are being neatly packed and stored, Database backed up and ready to be moved.

What happens now?
Well, we have basically agreed with MADE about them running the servers and we are helping with the move.
This faces a bunch of issues:
- domain name being part of the deployment process
- a very specific server set-up
- Steam Dev Accounts transfer (if we want to be able to preserve your character advancement)
- Microsoft allowing the whole thing

We are again spending our weekends in prepping for the above and now we are joined in this by the great people behind MADE.

This operation may fail at any of the above hurdles with different levels of likeliness.
IF it succeeds you guys will be the first to know and I will keep you updated about progress.

If you want to check what primetide is up to, you can go to The Underground games website [www.undergroundgames.de] and a core part of the team is working on a Fantasy themed turn-based strategy game releasing next year, which I will also be able to say more about soonish, I hope.


Thanks again for playing and here's to all of you! :SRCBL:

Two posts, summing everything going on currently...

Well, as some of you may have seen, the Made is looking for developers to support the porting of the game (UgePlex has forwarded their post on facebook). We still are waiting for Miscrosoft, but essentially they have the server side of things running, as far as I understand.


Hoi Chummers!

Here's a Twitter link to the call for help from TheMADE primetide was referencing (As mentioned, I also posted it on Facebook, but almost never check Facebook).

If you're an IRL Decker/Hacker/Programmer/Dev...etc, check it out, please. https://twitter.com/UGEplex/status/1255912933302906880

Now, I've also cordially spoken with the Decker (programmer) who's working on getting Shadowrun Chronicles set up for The MADE, and it's not currently in shape for them to host publicly even if Microsoft finalized the sign-off today, but the community might be able to help speed things along.

I'll post in the future as to how to help The MADE out. It's not money, but they're a non-profit video game museum and could use donations of nuyen too.

So, I'll get back to youse awl soonish, Chummers.


Until then, Ja Mata!

And always remember; Wash Your Hands, Conserve TP, Protect your At Risk chums, and never, ever, get within 6' of a Dragon ^_^/💗

There is no gameplay. It's a developer going through directories in an old server VM looking for workable resources to support reviving Shadowrun Chronicles.


The Chummer for TheMADE who's porting (decking) Shadowrun Chronicles for the museum is currently livestreaming on Twitch while he's doing the work. If you want to ask questions or just learn about his troubles and tribulations along the way you can find 'im at http://twitch.tv/ZiggyTheHamster ^_^

Hey runners, it looks like we may have to put our cred where our mouth is. Looks like we might need to pull out our cred sticks and drop some creds. It appears that the virus might be causing some issues: https://www.patreon.com/posts/39111854 maybe we can still get the paydata from this deal. ~Banana Cheese A street samurai:cybereye::snaggletooth:
