After a first unsuccessful crowdfunding campaign on Fig, SWERY's The Good Life project managed to surpass the minimum funding goal of €517,508 yesterday on Kickstarter.
With a couple days still left on the clock, the race is now on to add a Nintendo Switch edition via the newly revealed $800K stretch goal. However, the developers have clarified that even if this stretch goal isn't reached by the end of the campaign they will use the extra funds to develop additional content such as more music tracks, more seasonal events to Rainy Woods, more part-time jobs/revenue generating activities for Naomi to repay her crippling debt, more outfits for Naomi et cetera.
Currently, the game is set to be available in Q3 2019 for PC (priced at $29 via Steam) and PlayStation 4 (priced at $39). If you're curious about The Good Life, there's a prototype demo available at this address.
The Good Life is a debt repayment daily life RPG co-developed by SWERY's White Owls Inc. and a development team led by Yukio Futatsugi, the creator of Panzer Dragoon and Phantom Dust.
