Orphan Adds PS4 Support In Kickstarter Stretch Goal
Indie Developer Windy Hill has confirmed that Orphan, their upcoming silhouette-styled indie platformer is aiming for a PS4 release, if the game can make its way through its crowd-funding phase.
Orphan is a classically styled 2D action platformer where a young boy is a survivor of an overnight alien invasion. The art style and gameplay has been inspired by titles such as Another World. Many fans of Limbo may notice some similarities, but easily Orphan stands out a lot more. The concept and design is certainly something different and honestly deserves to reach its $32,000 Kickstarter goal. Developer Windy Hill Studio hopes adding PS4 support, as well as additional backer tiers.
“With Kickstarter support waning in the gaming community I set small goals with small tiers and tried to run a conservative campaign,” said studio owner Brandon Goings. “Supporters are saying Orphan needed to go bigger, all the while I’m constantly asked by console gamers if Orphan is coming to PS4. I’m listening, and hoping these changes can help get the campaign back on track.”
The screenshots from Orphan are outstanding. A worthy backer for sure. There are more screens below.
Orphan’s is a platformer that features many strategic elements, including stealth. You will play as a defenceless 8 year old boy in an Earth invaded by hostile alien forces. If it succeeds in its Kickstarter, it will be one of many titles that Game Maker Studio have recently announced for PS4 since the engine added support for PlayStation platforms last year.
