HarleQuest!, a new 3D roguelike dungeon crawler currently in development for the SEGA Dreamcast and PC, has launched its Kickstarter campaign. The game centres around court jester Estienne who has been thrown into the King’s dungeon after one joke goes too far, and he must now find a way to escape.
Its creator Ross, who goes by the developer name of Kilgariff Technologies Limited, told Fusion that “I love the style of games from the late 90s and you really get a creative boost from targeting an actual console of that era. I wanted to make a love letter to the games I enjoyed growing up, and HarleQuest! lets me channel modern gameplay design into a retro form factor.”
Speaking about the Kickstarter campaign, Ross explains that “backers will be able to get digital and physical editions of the game and plenty extras for those who like merch. The Dreamcast is still alive in 2023 with new games coming out every year, and that’s solely because of the global community of players willing to spend their money supporting us indie developers and give their enthusiastic feedback. It’s much appreciated!”
The campaign is running for another 27 days and is already well over the halfway mark. HarleQuest! is scheduled for release in October 2024 and we will to bring you a full review as soon as its release.
