After a sedate summer there are suddenly lots of new Kickstarters…
**New
**Butt sniffing pugs. You may recognize this from a couple of game conferences, with the unorthodox “dog butt” controller peripheral that you had to jam your face into. Apparently you can play it just fine with mouse + keyboard too, and it looks like an extraordinarily charming adventure exploring puzzle game for all ages with great art. You play two pugs in Central Bark. $11,101 pledged of $60,000 goal, 30 days to go
Queer Quest - all in a gay’s work. A queer-as-fuck point and clit adventure game inspired by the classics like Monkey Island. Nice art, I hope the puzzles are good. I also hope there are SOME jokes and themes that don’t revolve around LBQT culture or it might get a bit repetetive. But either way, I’ll take it. $2,981 pledged of $50,000 goal, 29 days to go
Dwarrows - An Adventure & Town-Builder Game. A Stardew Valley/Harvest Moon-like with a dash of Zelda and maybe Minecraft? Nice graphics, but can it stand out in a fairly crowded field? $7,438 pledged of $12,000 goal, 25 days to go
