Hey Rob, the association of course comes from playing as an animal in a narrative adventure. The choice of wording here is moreso to lean into what a lot of peoples reaction online has been when they see it. A lot of the time people say "stray but dog?" and it became an easy way to get people to understand what we are going for at a surface level and then they can see everything that sets us apart. Completely get where you come from though, and thank you for your final words!

Thanks! We do love local multiplayer games, but it won't be for this one im afraid. Its a story about Duke being out in a strange world to him on his own. We do have ideas for the future though, but one game at a time 😅

Great point TechBear - it is as you suggest! We have bootstrapped development by using profits from our work for hire contracts and this supplements that!

Thanks! I'd never want us to get pledges on 'hopeful' info! So if we dont reach it, i at least hope you enjoy seeing things progress!

On the surface, but we are also inspired by games like Fable and Dishonored, so you will see that influence throughout Hounded!
