Hi, I’m Kevin Cancienne, and I’m working on a game called Home Free, about the life of a dog lost in a randomly generated city. You play as that dog. You’ll need to find food, a safe place to sleep, and friends, both human and canine. Eventually, hopefully, you’ll find home.

I’m currently crowdfunding Home Free over on Kickstarter, and today I’m very happy to announce that I’ll be bringing the game to PlayStation 4!

Home Free still has a way to go, which is why I took the game to Kickstarter. I estimate I still have about another year of work to do until it’s done. Kickstarter has helped me get the money I need to focus completely on the project and to pay some folks to help with the parts I can’t do myself. The Kickstarter is now fully funded, but there are still some fun stretch goals to reach. And if you back it now, you can reserve yourself a digital copy when it comes out on PS

[Jawmuncher]

This game is not PlayStation Home nor will it be free. However with that out of the way, the idea is pretty interesting.

 

[krimsoncharge]

very nice. love the artstyle.

 

[Alucrid]

Oh sweet, are there tiers of the Kickstarter for ps4 now?

 

[Acquiescence]

Good luck topping A Dog's Life as the definitive PlayStation dog simulator.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Damn, really hoped this was the long-awaited sequel to Home.

Looks cool.

 

[spectator]

I'm in for this so hard.

 

[Loudninja]

Oh sweet, are there tiers of the Kickstarter for ps4 now?

Yeah.

 

[Bold One]

Misread the title, thought HOME was coming back

 

[TimeEffect]

Give me Cat DLC or give me death

 

[Oneself]

Yes!!! Awesome news, I was jaleous of PC folks because of that game. Now gimme playable cats.

 

[Alcoholikaust]

A game where yopu play as a dog? Who would want that?

Spoiler

Me-give it to me now ;_;

 

[Justified]

Looks nice.

I would also like to see a narrative driven spin-off to Tokyo Jungle

 

[Blablurn]

Did I see a Shibe there?

 

[jon bones]

i don't know if my heart can handle that description

trailer looks great, procedural generation is lame but at least it sounds more action-rpg than roguelike

promising to be sure, hopefully it delivers

 

[Oni Jazar]

Looks awesome! Shame it's so far away and needs crowdfunding.

 

[Baldwin_the_First]

Really like the song in the trailler, i could see myself playing this if the soundtrack holds up to it.

 

[Ricker]

lol...that wasnt as bad as I thought...might give it a shot since not free

 

[RipperGrim]

Good luck topping A Dog's Life as the definitive PlayStation dog simulator.

It's just not possible.

 

[bestpersonevar]

they should add a physical ps4 tier?

 

[LewieP]

No big surprise, pretty much every indie game with any buzz around it is coming to PS4, unless MS have paid for exclusivity on it.

Game looks interesting.

 

[The 8-Bit Raider]

Been following this in kickstarter for a while. Very glad to see that it's coming to PS4.

 

[Drencrom]

Love the low poly artstyle

 

[travisbickle]

Was actually considering getting this for Mac when I first saw it. So glad it's coming to PS4 as it'll be easier for me. Man, there's a lot of games next year that aren't heavy shooting: this, Rime, NMS, last guardian, witness ...

 

[Proteus IV]

Give me Cat DLC or give me death

Yes!!! Awesome news, I was jaleous of PC folks because of that game. Now gimme playable cats.

A game where yopu play as a dog? Who would want that?

Spoiler

Me-give it to me now ;_;

Maybe not playable but it's a start...

 

[RelentlessRolento]

My PC is shifty so I'm glad I can play it on something that I have that can actually run it

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Misread the title, thought HOME was coming back

I thought it was Gone Home. Anyway, premise sounds interesting, I guess, although I'm not really sold by any of the gameplay footage in that trailer. The tech looks nice, but I'm not a fan of the art style.

EDIT - maybe you should put a link to the Kickstarter page in the first post: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/143870832/home-free-0

You are right.

 

[Tigress]

Sweet!!! Not going to kickstart (I have only kickstarted once a game that was supposed to come out this year and from what I can tell dropped off the map. Doesnt' even seem they are updating their site that much anymore). But if it comes out on PS4 and is not too expensive I could totally see buying this.

I just wish we could also pick to play a cat.

 

[Rymuth]

When I get this, I'mma name my dog Triumph.

 

[Justice_Bolt]

I'm in for a PS4 version! Looks good.

 

[Stilton Disco]

Bitchin'! Backed for the PS4 version.

 

[thenexus6]

I'm gonna be the coolest Shiba ever.

 

[Baroquemantic]

This looks awesome.

 

[Ceadeus]

I'm not sure about the dog ass to represent the O...

 

[WaffleTaco]

Really wish they would start bringing games to Xbox One...getting kind of ridiculous.

Spoiler

I have a PS4

 

[the TMO]

Looks interesting and I love flat shading.

 

[Acorn]

A game where yopu play as a dog? Who would want that?

Spoiler

Me-give it to me now ;_;

Cat game would start and finish with it eating the dead owner

 

[Dr_LucienSanchez]

I have a PS4

Unfortunately a legacy of Microsoft's horrible indie policy when the xbone was released and Sony's embracing of indies at the time (think of that PS4 unveiling). The current install base also doesn't favor Xbox either.

Now that things have been getting better with MS though, I'm sure more titles will make it to the console eventually. And hopefully that parity clause will die.

The game sounds interesting though. Will definitely check out the Kickstarter.

 

[aibaby]

Yes!! When I first saw the kickstarter thread here before I linked it to Gio and Adam hoping it would come to PS4! Thanks, so excited for this!

 

[a secret-boss]

intro reminded me of this

 

[Saty]

How is he affording it? It's not a Stretch Goal that was met. Original budget wasn't planned with the PS4 version. Is Sony funding the port? Does he mean to work and finance the port's costs after the release of the PC version?

Legacy? The policy is unchanged.

 

[Tregard]

Getting Tokyo Jungle vibes, fantastic stuff

 

[thelastword]

Looks ok, why is it so polygony though?

 

[Angelus Errare]

Man seriously, I don't own either console but man all these games coming to PS4 reminds me of PS2 man. Shit is crazy!

 

[El-Suave]

Had to back this for PS4 because it has a playable Shiba.

 

[Dr_LucienSanchez]

Legacy? The policy is unchanged.

Well, I mean more so in the sense that they were actually pushing indies away at that point. From pretty much every dev interview that's out there, it seems that MS had no policies in place and didn't really give a shit about anything other than AAA titles. This then kind of changed with ID@Xbox later on (arguably not enough and probably too late).

 

[mattp]

missed this thread before
SO PSYCHED

i tweeted the kickstarter at shane when it first went up
clearly i'm responsible for this!

 

[IbizaPocholo]

Looks interesting.
