KeokeN launches crowdfunding for Deliver Us Home to rise from ashes

KeokeN Interactive rises from the ashes with a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter for ‘Deliver Us Home’, the third instalment in the ‘Deliver Us’ Series.

Hoofddorp, NL – June 11, 2024. Today, KeokeN Interactive has launched their crowdfunding campaign for Deliver Us Home, the anticipated third instalment in the Deliver Us series.

Deliver Us Home, a solitary sci-fi experience where a lone astronaut seeks to secure a new home for humanity, immerses players in an atmospheric adventure fraught with mystery. After its teaser premiered last weekend during the Future Games Show, the kickstarter page is now live.

KeokeN founders and directors Koen and Paul Deetman call for aid from their community and network. With a funding target of €100.000, the Kickstarter campaign enables them to regain momentum on Deliver Us Home and rebuild their studio from the ashes.

“Taking matters into our own hands after years of pitching feels very liberating,” explains Koen Deetman, “and it has motivated us to work extremely hard over the past few weeks. Creativity spiked to an all-time high and we’ve been running on all cylinders to orchestrate the campaign, the trailer, and the demo that backers get to play. It truly is a token of our love and dedication to the craft of making video games.” 

The campaign comes at a time of great turmoil within the industry, the effects of which have profoundly impacted KeokeN. “It’s an arduous task to create both a crowdfunding campaign and a demo with the skeletest of skeleton crews, whilst simultaneously helping our former friends and colleagues find new places to work,” says Paul Deetman. 

Still, Deliver Us Home marks a return to the very roots of the series that the brothers are excited to share with both new and returning fans. “The game emphasises mystery, majestic desolation, the thrill of the unknown, and awe-inspiring moments,” they elaborate. “Combined with our vision for more player agency and a widely linear approach, players are in for a unique adventure. And at the same time, the campaign forms the foundation for how we can shape KeokeN’s future with a very lean and experienced studio, better suited for a sustainable future as an independent developer.”

The kickstarter campaign runs for 30 days to hit its target of €100.000 before its conclusion on Thursday July 11, 2024.  

About Deliver Us Home

It’s the 23rd century. Humanity has long ago evacuated the wasteland that is planet Earth. You, a descendant of the evacuees, have been trained relentlessly to become an interplanetary astronaut. Sent out into the endless void of space, your mission statement is as simple as it is impossible: secure a new, permanent home for humanity.

After a long journey, you approach your designated planet. Though you’ve prepared for the unexpected, there’s no telling what lies in store for you on the surface. Survive the unknown, explore the desolation, and break ground for humanity’s new home as you uncover the secrets of mysterious settlers that – somehow – arrived here long before you did.

Pokemon-meets-Harvest Moon in Ova Magica’s Anticipated NextFest Demo Ahead of July Early Access Launch

Fresh off the heels of participation in this year’s Guerilla Collective showcase, colorful JRPG Ova Magica is taking part in Steam’s latest Next Fest. Billing itself as “Pokemon-meets-Harvest Moon”, the game has had a long history of development originating as far back as 2019. Developed by a primarily woman-led team, the game has received extensive hype online, and became the #6 most funded game campaign of 2021 on Kickstarter (as well as received the “Big K” community award from the site). The game has had significant attention directed toward it since then from multiple locations, including being spotlighted in an edition of the 2022 PC Gaming Show thanks to its publisher, Top Hat Studios, Inc.

After much hard work, the team is extremely proud to be able to present its extensive demo ahead of its July Early Access launch, featuring 4-5+ hours of content. The game is scheduled to launch into Early Access on July 23rd. You can view the announcement trailer for the game’s upcoming launch below, which debuted in Top Hat Studios’s publisher spotlight in Guerilla Collective. 

The game features an extensive, highly interwoven mixture of Creature Collector, JRPG, and Simulation elements. You’re the new resident of Clover Town, and your new life awaits you! Befriend blobs, explore themed dungeons, and maybe meet the love of your life! When not battling fellow blob trainers or making friends with (or doing errands for) the other residents of the town, tend to your very own customizable farmstead, where you can grow and craft ingredients & materials to not only strengthen your blobs and make money but also unlock beautiful new worlds full of adventures.

The goal of Ova Magica is to combine the charm of classic genres with new, modern and intuitive twists on staple mechanics. After moving to take care of a farmstead in the aforementioned quaint little hamlet Clover Town, you’re introduced to something that changes your life forever: Blobs! Blobs are cute, wobbly, and rotund creatures which hatch from eggs. Treat them with care and they can become your greatest companions!

Coming in dozens of varieties (with all of them being cross-breedable, for hundreds if not thousands if not more results!), Blobs can face off against rival blob trainers and help you out around the farm and in the wider world with their unique abilities. As your relationship with the locals (some of whom you might choose to settle down with!) and the town increases, the secrets of Clover Town start to unlock in front of you. And by secrets, we mean hidden temples, dungeons, and portals to exotic dimensions!

These new worlds contain strange items and priceless artifacts that hold the key to the town’s – and your own – future. Tame and raise blobs, battle trainers or wild dungeon blobs, build your homestead, explore the secrets of the world, and win the hearts of the residents of the townfolk. What will you write in the history book of Clover Town?
