During its wildly successful run on Kickstarter, an upcoming indie farming simulator called\u00a0Coral Island\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>has accrued over $1.6 million in just 30 days, setting it up to be a popular installment into a crowded genre.<\/p>\n

While it doesn’t quite make the list of most successful Kickstarter campaigns for video games<\/a>,\u00a0Coral Island<\/em>‘s numbers are certainly nothing short of unexpectedly significant.\u00a0Starting at a modest funding goal of $70,000 for Stairway’s debut title, most backers saw impressive graphics and wholesome gameplay and pledged the base amount of $20 to get the game, while tens of thousands of other gamers were excited enough to pledge more for the early alpha version.\u00a0Coral Island\u00a0<\/em>was fully funded in the first 36 hours.<\/p>\n

Following the indie farming sim<\/a>‘s early stretch goals such as seasonal NPC outfits, minigames, and bug catching,\u00a0Coral Island\u00a0<\/em>continued to gain momentum and eventually, the developers needed to add more goals as the Kickstarter continued to rise in popularity. This resulted in highly requested stretch goals becoming easily surpassed, including a merfolk underwater village and, later on, the option to romance 2 of the NPCs from this village.<\/p>\n
