That Dragon, Cancer abandons Ouya exclusivity, turns to Kickstarter

MCV Staff 14th November 2014 Development News

The developers behind That Dragon, Cancer have launched a Kickstarter appeal to raise the funds required to finish work on the game.

That Dragon, Cancer is the work of Ryan Green and his co-developer Josh Larson, and tells the true story of Green’s family dealing with their son Joel’s fight against brain cancer. Sadly, Joel Green passed away earlier this year, but the duo have continued to develop the game.

Green and Larson say the game could be complete in another eight months, but requires $145,000 to finish, according toPCGamesN. Some of this will come from a private loan, so the pair have turned to Kickstarter to generate the last $85,000.
