Goner-124% Funded on Kickstarter

By Henry Buehler / September 15th, 2020

Goner is an indie survival-horror game set on an estranged island filled with dinosaurs and ancient life. You play as Anthony Sunder, a regular man looking for his missing mother and her expedition crew. You have no guns or advanced weaponry. You must craft whatever you can to survive and fend off ravenous dinosaurs such as the deinosuchus and quetzalcoatlus with more to come.

The game has victoriously smashed it’s Kickstarter goal along with various community goals that have added more dinosaurs to the game. If other stretch goals are met, a marine dinosaur, mod support, language support, console releases, and much more could be added.

From the press release:

Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain –September 14, 2020– Due to the support of almost 700 backers, independent games development studio Loco Players pledged $36k, 124% of it’s original goal on Kickstarter, to fund the production and development of Goner last Thursday.

Goner is a single-player, story-driven, dinosaur-themed 3D survival-horror in first-person perspective coming to steam in 2021. The game is starred by Anthony Sunder, a son looking for his missing mother and her expedition crew in an island inhabited by hostile members of a lost civilization and feral fauna you thought extinct.

“We are very proud to have exceeded every expectation about the success of Goner on Kickstarter”, says Yeray Schwartz, CEO at Loco Players. “We are excited to launch this awaited adventure in the first half of next year”.

Packing all of the best features from the survival-horror genre, Goner contains gigantic dinosaurs with fluid animations in full 3D environments, including species such as the quetzalcoatlus, the deinosuchus and the edmontosaurus. You will have to use their bones, skins, and other parts of their bodies to make new food, weapons, armor and tools.
