Home Free - New Kickstarter

Did you ever wanted to be a dog? Then maybe this Home Free Kickstarter is for you:

Home Free

You are a dog lost in a randomly generated city. Looking for food. Looking for friends. Looking for home.

loading…

You are a dog, lost in a sprawling and unfamiliar city. You wander the streets, searching for scraps, for shelter, for a friendly face. Slowly, you overcome some of your fears. You learn where you can snag a meaty bone, where you can sleep warm and safe at night. Strange streets become familiar territory. One by one, the streets become yours. You find friends. Eventually, maybe, home.

Projected Release: Fall 2016 on Mac and PC

Features

• Be a dog in an unexplored city!
• Play as any of over a dozen breeds (plus many more color and marking variations). Maybe even more, depending on stretch goals and rewards!
• Explore a dense, procedurally-generated city unique to your game. Every street, alleyway, building, nook and cranny was generated just for your game. No one has been here before, so you better start marking your territory.
• Player-driven narrative. Shape the story of one dog's survival through your choices and actions. Experience the the world from the perspective a creature who will never quite understand why that world acts the way it does.
• Wrestle, wriggle, and pounce. Home Free features a full range of canine moves to master, whether you're playing with friendly dogs in a local park or escaping the aggressions of territorial dogs in a dark alley.
• Learn the unique rhythms of your city. Which neighborhood has the tastiest garbage just after sunset? What park empties at mid-day so you and your dog friends can have a fun romp when no one's around?
• Decide how to survive. Will you be a bandit, stealing food from unsuspecting humans when you can? A performer, trying to earn treats and sympathy from dog-friendly citizens? Or a scavenger, sticking to the margins and following your nose?
• Dog it up with your friends in real life! Home Free comes bundled with my local multiplayer dog wrasslin' game, Dog Park, included at all backer levels!

Thanks Eye!

Home Free, the first Kickstarter project from Kevin Cancienne, is off to an amazing start. The campaign has only just launched and has already earned more than half of its $50,000 funding goal. Why? Because people love dogs, that’s why, and Home Free has them in spades. Here’s what you need to know.
[…]
I think Home Free has some decent potential, though I worry that the lack of straight objectives might not lend the game very well to play sessions longer than twenty minutes. With the right execution, though, it could definitely work, and the Kickstarter community clearly has faith in the project. It’s no underdog, that’s for sure.

It's a very interesting idea, at least.

Wat?

I'll skip that but still hope they suceed. I like crazy ideas.

Looks like something my daughter would love. I'm glad they're doing well.

I think I'll back it; my daughter would love this game.

I'm more a cat-person myself, but it would be fun to play as a cute fluffy killer dog.

I hope their success will lead to a whole new genre: playing a mosquito or an escaped pig - revenge! How about lions going after dentists? Go, go, go - nature strikes back!

In a more serious setting animal RPGs could be great to educate people about animal behavior and about thoughtless and often inhumane aspects of human behavior towards animals.
So, yes, I really hope they'll be an astounding success. Profits attracts many followers.

I am following that one from day one. Such a cute and cuddly creature! How can anyone resist it?

A cute, cuddly killing cat could. Gimme a cat game!

Well Krod Mandoon showed us there is an up side to that.

Sounds like the name of a country acappella group: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_Free_%28group%29

Are there romances? Do they have a "mating" stretch goal?

There better not be too many fetch quests. Or wait…
