The team just announced that they added Wii U as a stretch goal at $25,000, they just passed their initial $15,000 goal, they only have 6 days left.

Damn that's some gorgeous art.

In-game it looks rough but it is early obviously, hope they can make it look really close to the art in the end.

The puzzle solving looks promising, the combat looks terrible.

I'm torn.

Any connection with the Royksopp song?

Messofanego · Nov 22, 2013

uguu!

SgtCobra · Nov 22, 2013

I like the idea, the artstyle is also very warm end enjoyable so to say. Will back this.

axisofweevils · Nov 22, 2013

Hope it makes the Wii U goal.

Hero of Legend · Nov 22, 2013

HOLY SHIT, look at the art by the character designer and artist:

And this is her gaming debut? DAMN she's extremely talented.

CTLance · Nov 22, 2013

Heh. Somehow this made me think of Ghost Song (by fellow gaffer Jobbs). Girls and their robot friends are now en vogue, huh. Not that I mind.

Looks cute. Not terribly fond of the combat in the pitch... but whatever. Take a few bucks, random guy on the other end of the world. Hope ya make a good game. No fancy breakfast for me tomorrow.

lamaroo · Nov 22, 2013

Art looks amazing, gameplay doesn't look enticing to me so far.

cafemomo · Nov 22, 2013

No Vita?

Oh well, it looks nice on the PC anyway. I'll back tomorrow when I get paid.

ActStriker · Nov 22, 2013

It kind of bugs me that they said something like this:

The game brings the thrills of classic games such as The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Ico, and pairs them with the sense of wonder and adventure found in animated movies such as those from Studio Ghibli.

I knew it!

sörine · Nov 27, 2013

About 25 hrs and $2,350 to go. I hope it makes it.

foxuzamaki · Nov 27, 2013

the art looks gorgeous

sfried · Nov 27, 2013

Common people! 2500 left to go!

mjc · Nov 27, 2013

Combat looks like dogshit.

Wii U fans are becoming a pretty reliable Kickstarter block.

Davey Cakes · Nov 28, 2013

Wii U fans/owners want good, original games as much as anyone else. Give them a stretch goal and they'll at least try to make it happen.

At this point the Wii U is more of a niche console than Nintendo wants it to be. But, that might not be a bad thing. It has a smaller audience but also a more dedicated one, in some ways.

buffi · Nov 28, 2013

Whats up with the low goal?

25k$ is not a lot of money for development of anything.

Lonely1 · Nov 28, 2013

I wouldn't mind if the Wii U becomes the machine that Ouya failed to be, with big budget Nintendo games. Get rid of the disk drive and it can be nearly as small too.

Unity license is free on Wii U. They really just have to cover $2500 for the dev kit and the costs of porting.

On PS3, 360, PS4, Vita or Xbox One the Unity license is $40,000 a pop. Which is why it always surprises me when I see Wii U stretch goals on Unity projects higher than those systems or even no Wii U goal at all.

disap.ed · Nov 28, 2013

Saw this too late unfortunately (please post such things in the Kickstarter thread), will buy it on the WiiU if it is any good though.

Nudull · Nov 28, 2013

Will definitely get the Wii U version, this looks lovely.
