In 2014 nearly 4000 backers pledged $US100,000 for a silly game about being a bear. Yesterday, despite seemingly happy backers and 78 per cent positive reviews on Steam, Bear Simulator's developer says updating the game any further is "a lost cause".
Eat, sleep, kill the odd adventurer, repeat -- that was my notion of what bear life was like before playing Bear Simulator. Now I know the truth: there's also bunny killing and wearing ball caps.
Following a successful (triple-times-funded-successful) Kickstarter campaign in Spring, Bear Simulator is on its way towards release. It's looking great so far.
What we're saying is this: Bear Simulator is about to become a thing and it will make all your bear dreams come true.
This is Bear Simulator. The developers describe it as "Basically it's a game where you explore while being a bear." Back it on Kickstarter.
