Last Week!
This is the last week of the Lonesome Village Kickstarter campaign! We have reached 379% of the funding goal! Thanks again for all your support! 😊
This last week please help us share the campaign with your friends and family and let's make Lonesome Village the best it can be with all your support! 😃
Lonesome Village Interesting Facts #2!
Here is the second part of the Interesting Facts from Lonesome Village:
✅ Interesting Fact #4 - Wes outfit
Wes' outfit takes inspiration from J.R.R.Tolkien fantasy character Tom Bombadil, on the books, it says that Tom has a blue jacket and yellow boots, so we decided to use those colors for Wes' outfit
✅ Interesting Fact #5 - Magic Glass
The special item Magic Glass in Lonesome Village takes inspiration from the Lens of Truth item from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
✅ Interesting Fact #6 - The Cult
The idea of The Cult using masks to hide their faces in Lonesome Village takes inspiration from Stanley Kubrick's movie "Eyes Wide Shut"
You can see the movie trailer here (Credits belong to original creators):
Platforms and Languages info!
We are happy to share that we have decided to include Mac and Linux as launching platforms for Lonesome Village!
And we also want to share the list of the languages we are considering supporting:
Now, we want to share two great Kickstarter videogame projects currently live:
Chiaroscuro is a 2D adventure platformer with metroidvania elements that is doing very well on Kickstarter (70% funded in the first 12days!).
Take control of Rose, a mysterious amnesic, and explore a world that has fallen into darkness—where only a few precious flickers of light remain. From peaceful grasslands to a long-forgotten mine, Rose will navigate this interconnected 2D world as she gains new abilities and faces off against monstrous creatures, as well as other adventurers with their own hidden plans for the light they all covet.
The team is awesome, and Joey (the main developer who started this project by himself) is only 20 years old! Go check them out and try out the free demo that they have available!
Nippon Marathon 2 is the ultimate "Bakage" (Japanese for "Stupid Game"). Players race across a bizarre obstacle course until only one player remains. Skill and chaos are united in one wonderful experience.
Last time you raced across Japan, this time you’ll take on the world.
Lonesome Village Interesting Facts #1! ASMR Stretch Goal amount reduced! Mini-comic! & Shout Out!

Hello again! Right now we have reached 372% if the funding goal! This is great! Thank you for your support! 🙂 🥳
Lonesome Village Interesting Facts #1!
We will start sharing a list of the most Interesting Facts about Lonesome Village! Here we go:
✅Interesting Fact #1 - Lonesome Village name
The name of the game "Lonesome Village" takes inspiration from an old song titled "Lonesome Town" by Ricky Nelson. Listen to the full song here (credits belong to original creators):
✅Interesting Fact #2 - Name of Wes
The name of the main character of the game: "Wes" takes inspiration from the film director Wes Anderson, he is the creator of Fantastic Mr. Fox movie.
✅Interesting Fact #3 - Wes is a Coyote
Originally Wes was considered to be a wolf, then we thought that wolves are more aggressive than smart (we wanted a smart animal because of the puzzle-solving part of the game), then we considered a fox but we have seen foxes on other games, finally, the idea of Wes as a coyote came one day that I (Steve) was watching The Simpsons and an interesting character appeared: The Cosmic Coyote
We will continue sharing more interesting facts in the following updates! Hope you like it 🙂
ASMR Stretch Goal amount reduced!
Many people have suggested us interesting ideas for the stretch goals following the Relaxing Scenes (ASMR), we want to include them and thanks to that is that we decided to reduce our next Stretch Goal by $3000 USD and set the new goal to $1 630 000 MXN (≈$77 000 USD)
With this change and your support, we are hoping to reach it very quickly and reveal the next Stretch Goal which we don't want to spoil now but it is a very interesting new feature for Wes 😊
This time, we also want to share another cool videogame Kickstarter which is currently live, we are talking about KAPIA!
KAPIA is a story-driven adventure executed in a classical style of 3D quests from the mid-2000s.
Stefan, a retired pilot, and a strong-willed grandfather, takes on the responsibility of solving the mystery of a global lockdown. Little does he know his most powerful ally will be his little granddaughter, Reny.
With two playable characters, each level in KAPIA is designed for either Stefan or Reny. Levels that feature Stefan have more narrative puzzles. Reny’s puzzles are more mechanics-oriented.
You can see how it works with a 90-minute demo available to download!

Special NPC Tiers limit reduced!
Many people have asked us to reduce the limit for the special NPC Tiers to make it easier for them to sold-out and include those NPCs into the game and give the special figurine.
Today we decided to reduce the limit from 100 units to 40 😃. With this change, it will be easier for the Tiers to sold-out and the figurines will be more exclusive because instead of having 100 there would be just 40!
We also have a better picture of each Special NPC figurines:
