If Animal Gods becomes a huge success do you guys plan on making a follow-up? Or perhaps release the game for mobile devices?

Still Games
Ah, beautiful optimism! Yes, we have plans for sequels to Animal Gods, which would feature Thistle in new environments, meeting new characters, and exploring new gameplay. If there is a demand to be on mobile devices or portable consoles, then Animal Gods could find it is way over to them at a later date. Taking it one step at a time though, with Wii U, PC, Mac & Linux coming first [Playstation 4via stretch goals!]

Will there be any special attack (weapon) skill systems in the game? (like Diablo 3 for ex)

Still Games
You will have a bow and sword and there will be upgrades and special attacks like in Diablo 3. We have plans for “multishot” and
“pierce”, for instance.

I really liked the music from the trailer. Will there be similar music throughout the game?

Still Games
Thank you! Yes, there will be synthetic beats & bass like the one you heard in the trailer — aching melodies & clicky beats. There
will be some orchestral sounds as well.

I read that there will be a whole cast of characters and charming story moments in Animal Gods. And that´s something that i
really like in action/adventure/RPG games. So I’m kind of curious to hear how much you have focused on that?

Animal Gods made me think about a mix of A link to the Past, and the epic Jrpg´s of the 90s.

Still Games
We like those moments in games too, so there will be plenty. There will be a lot of heart and charm in the beginning of the game —
and then Thistle goes on her perilous journey to confront the Animal Gods. She will meet characters and engage in those story moments
along the way.

I’m really hyped about the “Open World Exploration”. So I’m wondering if you could say at approximately, how many hours of
game gameplay that there will be on side content? (side-quests, exploring, etc.).

Still Games
We can’t say for sure right now — the length of the game will be dependent on how much money we raise!

Jonas TGG
Will players be able to have companions?

Still Games
In between exploring dungeons, you’ll go to homes, meet characters and hear stories, but Thistle is ultimately on a lonely quest.
You’ll have friends and meet people, but defeating the gods is up to you.

What are you guys hoping to archive with this game. Like: giving 2D action / adventure game a new touch? Inspire others to make more 2D games? Etc.

The world of Animal Gods sure is really beautiful.

Still Games
We would like to take really old-school, classic & fun gameplay – and take people on a journey with a slightly more personal &
majestic story. One where you meet characters with whom you can fall in love. There’s a stylized darkness in the game, which is a
unique note to the 2D action/adventure genre.

Jonas TGG
What do you think will make this game shine the most? the open world exploration, the story line, the music, etc.

Still Games
The glittering stars 🙂

From the responses we’ve heard so far, players have enjoyed the music and art direction. By the time the game is complete, we think that the art and the world will resonate with players. We want players to fall in love with ancient Europe. We also want to leave players haunted.

Jonas TGG
Is there any plans to release Animal Gods to console? If the kickstarter campaign goes really well I mean.

Still Games
If the Kickstarter is funded, Animal Gods will be coming to Nintendo Wii U! There is also a stretch goal targeting a PS4 release. We
are willing to port to other consoles and devices, too, but that takes time and a proper budget. The scope of the Animal Gods release
is all a matter of funding at this point. Thank you for helping!
