It's actually not a lot and this mentality is why people keep getting screwed over by Kickstarters -- devs are way underselling the budget in hopes they'll reach what they really need.
You know what's featured in this gif? It's not a dog. :>

I don't mean "wow, he needs that much money? For a videogame?" but "I hope this'll get funded"

Fingers crossed the campaign goes well. The premise sounds interesting enough.
Hopefully they have footage to show off.

Hey everyone! Happy to see that you're all so excited about The Good Life! The campaign does not open to the public for a couple of weeks, but here are some single use codes to access the campaign now - please make sure to mark them as used if you redeem one.

Awesome, how did you get these? Will add your post to OP.

It really isn't, and utterly unreasonably low goals are one of the biggest warning signs that a crowdfunded title is going to fail.
Like the one you're replying too, just worried it won't meet the goal. I'm in the same boat. We'll soon know how strong the Swery brand is.
I think the fidelity and scope might go beyond 1.5 million FWIW.
This was meant to be a staged rollout - the campaign page does mention it's supposed to be confidential but people must not have seen it or ignored it

Cats.
Fair. I'm optimistic. If Swery can't raise $1.5M then...

Sure, I'll give Swery 25$ to make his weird cat game.
I don't even like cats.
I like Swery though
I should have made it clearer. 1,5 million is not a lot of money for a game, but it's still a lot of money to raise on a crowdfunding service. That's what I meant.

That art style is pretty damn generic...

THANK YOU
Totally in, probably for a tier above just getting the game depending on what the rewards are.
EDIT:
Reading more and: holy shit, this is exactly up my alley. This is pretty much exactly what a dream game would be for me? And made by SWERY no less.
(If someone could be rad and mark 98 as redeemed, that would be nice- I can't mark it from my phone)

Is anyone seeing talk about what platforms? I'm trying to skim but can't find anything in the Fig campaign. PC seems like a no brainer but I'd like to know if consoles are in the cards.

"And now, a word from SWERY:
Hello everyone. I'm SWERY, the director of The Good Life.
Last November, I created my new studio, White Owls, and this is our first official announcement. From the bottom of my heart, I feel so proud to be announcing this game with Fig, a next-generation publisher.
This game will inherit the spirit of Deadly Premonition, my most representative work, but it will also feature a brand new style of gameplay. It's a mystery game based on the framework of a 'daily life RPG.' I'm positive that the happiest town in the world and the most bizarre townspeople in the world will capture your heart and pull you deep into their world. Please support The Good Life and help us bring this game to life.
I'm sure this game will make a lot of people happy!
I Love You All!!"

I backed it but I gotta say they might have a hard time getting a lot of money with such low-fi graphics, I've seen many better pitches fail. I hope SWERY's name can pull it through, I know that's how he got my money!

Platform seems to be PS4/Steam ?
Thanks! Grabbed a Early bird edition!
Daily Life RPG? I'm fucking in!

I'm dying laughing at this gif while at work. My cats would totally do this all the time if they could type.

Thanks for the code, backed the deluxe variant. Kinda wish there were reward tiers with a physical copy.

Loved Deadly Premonition and D4, so I'm totally in for this. Shame that this likely means D4 is dead, but hopefully this means SWERY can make the game he wants to make without budget issues/outside meddling.
I prefer backing things for physical stuff, too. I can understand why they don't have any physical tiers, but I'm slightly disappointed as well.
Backing at $69 (nice).
That being said, uh. I really, really hope these tiers change up some before the full campaign. They rapidly climb in price with essentially nothing added besides a few digital goods. Even the difference between $69 and $129 is ridiculously small, especially since there's no physical rewards at all. No shirts, posters, etc. which I knew eat money and are annoying to fulfill, but get people interested. There's stuff at $500+ that's just exclusive things in game, like other games might throw in for free just for backing.
You need good rewards to have a successful crowdfunding campaign. I mean, if some of the $500+ stuff (not the things being named after you) was in a like $80-$100 tier I might have bit. But I'm a big fan who can afford to splurge a bit for a game I'm this interested in, and even I can't feel comfortable backing over $69 for what I'll get.

Yeah, exactly my first impression. It didn't look nearly as polished, but I can't see it being a problem considering that the actual game will be 3D, and the concept art is not what we'll be seeing the entire game like in Layton.
Yeah, I agree. This leaking may be a blessing in disguise, as it gives them time to get some feedback from their most hardcore fans.
During this stage of the campaign (Backstage Pass) we collect/consider all feedback, so thank you!
