So, I know people typically loathe Kickstarter posts, and I'm not a huge fan either, but I'm making an exception for this one. I mean really, all you have to do is watch the trailer (link to campaign, too). It's already at 3/5ths of its $50k goal, and there are 28 days left, so I think it looks like a pretty set thing.

But yeah, basically the game is just about survival in a city as a dog who's been abandoned by his owner. They've got a ton of fancy looking features planned, including:
  • Difficult moral decisions, do you beg or steal in order to survive?
  • Meet other dogs! Some of them will probably attack you!
  • A living city with different neighborhoods and different activities at each place. Figure out who puts out their garbage at what times!
I for one am highly excited for the chance to be a depressed dog.

This looks weird and funny. In a good way.
I can already see it getting attention from many youtubers when/if word gets out.

I wonder if you can become a serial killer dog, or a stalker dog who follows people for weeks, sleep on their doors, and poops on their whole house if they don't take you in willingly.

It honestly feels like a lot of their problems came from the fact that their entire team was composed of cats, and the people who were supposed to be herding them were also cats.

I don't really loathe kickstarter posts as long as its not a drive by spam attack by lunatics or what have you.  Point of this board is to share games / discussion with the forum/friends, if you are interested in something, make a half decent post and start talking about it, and maybe other people will be too.

That said, game certainly looks unique / interesting... I've backed too much kickstarter stuff this year though.
