Goner

Small Summary

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

Goner is billed as a “thrilling new take on survival/adventure genres.” TLDR- you’re an average person (aka not a SUPER MARINE HERO ADVENTURER) dropped into an island with deadly dinos. It was successfully funded via Kickstarter 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 and YouTube) stopped receiving new content posts around the same time. While the developers are still answering game-related questions in their Discord, there isn’t any sign of any content/game-related postings (images/videos/etc.) there either since early 2021. They also wholly ghosted posting to their Kickstarter backers from July 2021 to February 2022. Unfortunately, the posts are locked to non-backers, so I can’t see what their first message back contained. Hopefully, there will be some news on the state of the game that doesn’t exist elsewhere.

I’ll update this if things shake up.
