CLOUDSCAPE REACHES KICKSTARTER ON JUNE 22 WITH A SPECIAL NINTENDO SWITCH PHYSICAL EDITION: RESTORE YOUR FARM AND THE WORLD IN THIS CUTE ZELDA-LIKE MEETS SURVIVAL GAME!
Veteran animator Chris Gottron, better known for his work on Spongebob Squarepants, She-Ra and The Fairy OddParents, begins his crowdfunding campaign to fund the last leg of development of his highly anticipated action adventure survival game
Chris Gottron (a.k.a. Konitama) announced today the Kickstarter campaign of the open-world action adventure survival game Cloudscape, which will begin on June 22nd. In Cloudscape you play as Kumo, a Cloudling who wakes up washed ashore in a sunny deserted island. You'll have to explore the island and build a refuge for yourself, because this paradisiac place is not as uninhabited as it looks: monsters roam the island by night and will attack you on sight! The game will be available on PC, Nintendo Switch (with a physical version), Playstation 5, and Xbox Series X.
You will have to gather materials to craft tools and weapons, forage and fish to get food, stoke your campfire to fend off the darkness of the night... You can mine, cut wood, plant and harvest and many more things to build your farm and thrive in your island. Eventually you will manage to leave it – but that's only the beginning of your real adventure! You're not restoring a farm, you're restoring the world.

Eventually you will manage to leave it – but that's only the beginning of your real adventure! You're not restoring a farm, you're restoring the world.
You will keep exploring and finding ways to survive in every land you find, so as to expand your reach to multiple islands and bring them together, improving the life of whoever you find in your journey. Every playthrough is unique in Cloudscape: with a mix of procedurally generated and carefully hand-crafted areas, every experience will be different, without losing the quality of a curated, designed experience. Combining elements of survival and Zelda-like combat and discovery based gameplay, Cloudscape is the story of a little cloud who falls to a fragmented earth - and decides to turn it into paradise.
The Kickstarter campaign of Cloudscape will last 30 days, and aims for a funding goal of $50,000 to fund the last leg of development of the game, which started in early 2020. Chris Gottron is the proprietor of Konitama LLC, and is a decade-plus long veteran of the animation industry - having previously been at companies such as Nickelodeon Animation Studio and DreamWorks Animation Television.
