Stretch Goal Unlocked: Animal Companion!

We Did It!

I am very happy to announce today that, thanks to your help, we reached the highly anticipated Stretch Goal: Animal Companion!



[h2]What Does the Animal Companion Do?[/h2]
The animal companion will be your friend during your otherwise lonely journey in Above Snakes. You will find your companion on a specific tile that will be tied together with a quest line. Once found and unlocked, they will stay by your side. You can name them and, later on, will be able to customize them (fur color, for instance).

The animal companion will help you find secrets in the world you craft! They can smell things and let you know where a secret passage might be, find a clue you otherwise wouldn't have seen, or let you know where to dig with your shovel to obtain a hidden item! You can also instruct your companion to fetch you a certain item from your storage space at your base. This mechanic is useful if you don't want to go back home just yet!

And yes... you will be able to pet it ;)

[h2]A Little Surprise - Meet Little Bone![/h2]



To celebrate the unlocking of this stretch goal, I prepared a little surprise: A Kickstarter-exclusive skin for the animal companion called Little Bone! Little Bone will match the Bone Hunter's weapon skins (available with Bone Hunter's Edition and higher) if you want to go for the full western/spooky aesthetic! As with the Bone Hunter weapons, Little Bone is only obtainable via Kickstarter and will never be available again!
