Octodad, last year’s amazing docudrama (and award-winning game) following the life of a secret cephalopod, is getting a sequel!
Several of the members from the DePaul University team that created Octodad last year have founded a new indie studio: Young Horses. In addition to announcing their new studio, they’ve also announced Octodad 2, which promises to deliver more of the wacky, out-of-control, physics-based gameplay as the free original, but now with a “much more polished, full-featured and longer game!”
To help raise development funds and meet their planned release schedule of next year, Young Horses has opened a donation page on Kickstarter. Based on their donation, supporters are also eligible for anything as simple a pre-order of the game or early beta access, to t-shirts, plushies, and even a full-sized, framed oil painting. Not only is it a great way to help get this dream game off the ground, but also an open door to fans who want to show their love of Octodad, so head on over to the game’s Kickstarter page for more information, including a teaser trailer.
For those of you who never played the first game, download it for free from the Octodad website.
