Independent game making couple Dan + Lisa will showcase Dog Sled Saga in the Google Indie Games Festival, September 24, 2016 in San Francisco. The game is 1 of 30 new or unreleased indie games that festival goers will play and vote on. The festival will occur mere days after Dog Sled Saga’s long awaited release.
Dog Sled Saga is the debut collaboration between creators Dan FitzGerald and Lisa Bromiel. Players take on the role of a rookie musher who must foster a team of unique dogs to carve their story into the trails of the Mount St. Something region. The game combines hectic arcade racing with rich team management layers.
Three and a half years of development have seen a quickly funded Kickstarter campaign in 2013, a well received Steam Early Access project, and a recent string of major updates pushing towards the completion of the game. The full release next month will see the long awaited iOS and Android ports of the game, plus many big new things like overarching story moments, a breeding system, and a final wave of polish.
