Goner

Small Summary

I debated for a while on whether to even include this game- but since you can technically add it to your wish list on Steam, I figured why not.

Goner is billed as a “thrilling new take on survival / adventure genres”. TLDR- you’re a normal person (aka not a SUPER MARINE HERO ADVENTURER) dropped into an island with deadly dinos. It was successfully funded via Kickstarter back in September of 2020 with the expectation – at that point- of entering early access within a year post Kickstarter campaign. Plot twist: that didn’t happen. Updates to their social media (like Twitter, YouTube) basically stopped receiving new content posts around the same time. While the developers are still answering game related questions in their Discord, there doesn’t seem to be any sign of any content/game related postings (images/videos/etc) there either since early 2021. They also completely ghosted posting to their Kickstarter backers from July of 2021 to February of 2022. Unfortunately the posts are locked to non backers, so I’m not able to see exactly what their first message back contained. Hopefully some news on the state of the game- news that doesn’t seem to exist elsewhere.

I’ll update this if things shake up.
