Looks legit, solid graphics. The video will probably help them get pledges too. I forgot about Kickstarter.

 

[Demon_skeith]

20k is a pretty big goal, not sure if they will make it or not, but wish them best of luck.

  New pet species​

• The adorable moth-like Nochturn is ready to join any Santarian’s adventuring party as soon as they join the site. Brave adventurers who journey to the Lava Caves of the Flamefall Cascades can find the draconic Harlowin and fearsome Grusim. The elegant Drava can be found at traveling merchant Vespera’s exclusive shop. And finally, the friendly Quibbit evolves from its tadpole-like Minimal form.

• Exciting new site features
•

• 
  
• Send your pets Gatheringat locations across Santaeand they will bring back exciting items to share with you! Your pet might bring you a magical rune from the mysterious Stormforge Caverns, gather useful plants from the Ancient Grove, or maybe even discover an egg that can hatch into another pet at the volcanic pools of Ember Springs. You can also direct your pet to pluck rare berries from the Great Berry Tree!

• 
  
• When your pets go Fishingat the sunny Solar Sands – or in any gathering location across Santae – there’s no telling what they might find at the other end of the line. You might reel in a delicious fish, an eel that can join your pet as its Minimal companion, a piece of useful equipmentthat only needs a small repair, and so much more. More discoveries in the depths of the waters around Santae are sure to come.

• Santae’s sunny days and mysterious nights each hold their own mysteries to explore. As the world cycles between states every hour, you and your pets have the chance to make exciting new discoveries!
• 
  
  
• Visiting the Lava Caves in the dark of night will bring you face to face with the opportunity to tame a fearsome Grusim – but during the light of day, the Grusim retreats. While the sun shines over the Lava Caves, you can instead bring your Harlowin eggthere to hatch into a new companion.
• 
  
• Exciting Events
• 
  
• The most important ingredient in the world of Santae is you: The community!
•

• 
  
• The Goopper Swarm
• 
  
• Mysterious slug-like Minimals swarmed Gathering locations all across Santae, prompting adventurers everywhere to collect them in an attempt to learn more.

• 
  
• By collecting the Gooppersand discovering their source, Santarians discovered a brand-new location: The Goopper Grotto. This tranquil forest clearing holds an amazing secret: When you bring a Goopper there alongside certain powerfully magical items, the Minimal will transform!

• The Mourning Grusim
• 
  
• By following the traces of an ancient legend, adventurers learned of a mythical creature lurking deep within the Lava Caves.

• 
  
• Together, Santarians discovered sanDust: A secondary currency earned through site activities. This magical dust proved to be the secret to calming the ferocious ancient beast within the caves. By working together to collect sanDust, the communityunlocked the ability to tame and adopt the Grusim for everyone!
• 
  
• The Quibbit Cove
• 
  
• When Santarians began to discover mysterious eggsaround the site, they banded together to collect them and learn more about them. Together, we learned how to hatch Quibbspawn eggs into a brand-new Minimal: The Quibblet!

• 
  
• But the Quibblet was no ordinary Minimal. More ancient clues pointed the community towards a newly-discovered location, Quibbit Cove. It was there that the true secret of the Quibblet was revealed: Feeding it in the cove causes it to evolve into a fully-fledged pet, the Quibbit!

• 
  
• Thanks to the community’s efforts of research and discovery, the location of Quibbit Cove and the secret of Quibbletevolution are now unlocked for everyone.
•

That's wild. They did really well with getting pledges. They must have a huge following.

I think they were able to reach more people on Kickstarter by asking their users to follow their campaign prior to the launch, which is a pretty smart tactic. They also have 274 followers on Twitter, over 1k followers on tumblr and they use other games' hashtags on Tumblr to reach more users.

“Increasing our Kickstarter following pushes us up the Kickstarter algorithm!
This means potentially more backers, which in turn means we would have the ability to bring many more features to santae, much quicker! (See our Development Roadmap here - This includes our planned "Adventure Party" feature!)”

Have heard a lot about Santae and it's fun. It's definitely a new game but 2025 is a little far. The fund raising adopted to make the game even better is a good development.

I’m very optimistic that they'll reach their goal very quickly. This is because they're offering awesome rewards, like cuddly pet etc.
