Hello fellow foragers,
We have some exciting news today, our Kickstarter campaign is now live!
Ever since we started the development of Out and About, we wanted the community to be heavily involved with its direction and design. From the way you customise your character to recipes you can forage for, we always wanted you to be part of the process. Your support over the past 18 months has been amazing, and we would appreciate any support you could now lend to the Kickstarter campaign. From backing the project, or sharing it on social media, every interaction is really appreciated, we wouldn’t have come this far without you.
In-game influencers
As we’ve mentioned in previous posts, we really wanted to work with the foraging community to enhance the gameplay experience in Out and About. A few months ago we reached out to some amazing foraging influencers, to work with and potentially include some of their recipes in the game.
Well, we’ve decided to go one step further, by including them in the game as interactive NPCs. Each of the in-game influencers (below) will teach you recipes they have created and offer a questline for you to follow. Let’s meet the wonderful creators.
SpicyMoostache
SpicyMoostache is a London-based forager and urban farmer. His educational content focuses on how to maximise food production in very small spaces.
ChaoticForager
Chaotic Forager is a science-based forager that focuses on mycology and holistic ecosystems. Her very informative and educational content is great for anyone looking to get into foraging or share a love of mushrooms.
FindersFeeders
FindersFeeders is a wholesome content creator whose content follows a simple message: Find the food, eat the food. Her cozy vibe is great for anyone who is looking to learn about foraging or upcycling pretty much anything.
MayaKindaMischief
Maya combines her love of foraging, nature, and photography to publish both educational and incredibly stunning content. You’ll find her in-game with lens (and mushrooms) in hand.
It’s been an amazing experience working with all the content creators over the past 6 weeks. All of them offer amazing content, with some great insight into the world of foraging and living in nature.
We’ve been so excited to share the news of the Kickstarter and the content creators with you. Once again, thank you to everyone for your support so far, and for any support you can provide during the Kickstarter campaign. We cannot wait to share more news with you, especially the first playable demo…but more on that another time. For now, here are some updated screenshots on our latest build.
Thank you,
Elena
