Hi Oddfauna Superstars!

We’re all going on a little trip to the islands! We just hit another milestone and unlocked the Archipelago stretch goal!

We’re taking Astor to a whole new biome. It’s a land of scattered island clusters. There will be all kinds of new beasts and plants to discover. But... what new dangers could be lurking for Astor in this seemingly sunny place?

Let us know in the comments what you’d like to see in this exotic island locale!

Thank you for your continued support of OddFauna. These stretch goal milestones really help to make this game as dreamy as possible! Keep sharing our Kickstarter on social and hop over to our discord to join the fun!

Aloha!
Cliff

( 🤫 Keep your eyes peeled tomorrow for a surprise update to the craft-able boat stretch goal... it is going to be legendary.)

Let’s get Astor to the Islands 🏝️

Hey there OddFauna Globetrotters!

We are SOO close to hitting our next stretch goal, and it’s going to take Astor away to a whole new far-flung land. It’s an as-yet unknown biome, a sunny, mysterious collection of islands called the Archipelago!

We’re so excited for you to splash your way through this new terrain and discover all the new beasts and plants that reside there! There’s a number of biomes already for Astor to explore, lush forests, snowy peaks, and grassy plains, and this new location will offer up some unique intrigue and lucky surprises.

We’re confident we can reach this goal with your support! Thanks for showing so much love for our creation already throughout this campaign. 

Let’s blast off and take Astor to this undiscovered country!

Tropically yours,

Cliff

Hello Oddfauna Creators!
 

We’ve done it again! The next Stretch Goal, Character Creation has been unlocked! Thank you all for making this happen.
 

 This will really enhance the fun factor in our game and allow you to personalize Astor as you see fit. 

You’ll be able to alter our main character's face, mane, body, tail, and backpack. You can apply backpack pins and even more additional accessories for Astor to wear.

 We even have a high-level tier, the Beastly Designer, that will allow you to work with us to create your own custom skin that all players will be able to use in the finished game.
 

How do you want your Astor to look? Feline? Camouflage? Celestial? Let us know in the comments below. Feedback is always appreciated!
 

Next Stretch Goal: A whole new Biome, the Archipelago! 

Help us expand the world even more with the addition of a whole new biome. New beasts, new flora and lots of exciting things await your discovery in the Archipelago!

 Thank you again! And now, back to work!

 Fashionably yours,
 Cliff and Emma

A Huge Thank You!! We are funded! 🎉

Whoa. Wow wow wow! We are funded! In just three hours! You all are incredible. Thank you so much for believing in this game. 💚

It’s been a dream for Emma and myself to make OddFauna into a game. And now, we can make that dream into a reality. Thank you thank you thank you!

You all helped us reach our funding goal in just 3 hours! And we’ve been highlighted by Kickstarter as a “Project We Love.”
 

It's not over yet though! There are still a number of stretch goals to hit. These are all elements that would be incredible to have in the game, but might not be possible without your support.

Some of the awesome stretch goals include: 

• Secret of Mana composer Hiroki Kikuta for the soundtrack!
• Advanced customization system! 
• New biomes with new plants and beasts! 
• New legendary beasts! 

If we smash through these first stretch goals, we’ll unlock some higher level goals including co-op, multiplayer, and even more bonus super secret goals!

We would love to add all this to the game, so please if you haven’t had the opportunity, take a look at our great reward levels, tell a friend, share on social, and join in the fun. Thank you!

Gratefully yours,

Cliff

First Stretch Goal: Famed Secret of Mana Composer Hiroki Kikuta

Hello OddFauna Adventurers!

We had a tremendous first day on Kickstarter thanks to you all! We smashed through our initial funding goal in just three hours. We’re flabbergasted - just bowled over by all the support we’ve received. Thank you so much!

There’s still more we hope to achieve with this Kickstarter. We’d like to introduce our first stretch goal: to bring Secret of Mana Composer Hiroki Kikuta to do the OddFauna soundtrack! With the support you’ve already shown, we’ve been able to improve this goal; instead of Kikuta-san doing just the main theme and a couple songs, we have the opportunity to have him do the whole soundtrack!

I’ve been a fan of Secret of Mana and Kikuta-san’s score from back in my Super Nintendo days. In my office today, I have a framed poster of the Secret of Mana box art by Hiro Isono. This is a childhood dream come true to work with Kikuta-san! He is a master world-builder with his music which is so full of joy and character. It would be perfect for OddFauna.

If we hit $85k, we’ll be able to bring him on to the soundtrack! Title theme and enough songs to bring even more life to the OddFauna world!

We are now also able to afford to hire sound designers! They will work on the ambient nature sounds for the biomes, the sound of Astor munching on berries, the voices of all the beasts, and much more!

Thank you for believing in us and our OddFauna community! Let’s make some new Fond Memories!

Cheers,

Cliff

P.S. I’d like to introduce Peter Sebeckis who is helping us with Community Management! You’ll notice Peter commenting and updating here on the Kickstarter - say hello if you have the chance. We’re glad to have him on board.
