Deadly Premonition developer Swery swears to find funding for The Good Life even if Kickstarter fails

With 10 days to go and only half of the Kickstarter total raised, Hidetaka "Swery" Suehiro's second attempt at crowdfunding murder mystery game The Good Life may fail. But the charismatic Deadly Premonition developer, and Yukio Futatsugi, co-creator of the game, are determined to get The Good Life made regardless.

"At this point they're almost at 6000 backers [6257 at the time of writing] - that's great," the pair told me via translator at Reboot Develop 2018. "The problem is the goal itself is so large."

The Good Life needs around £200,000 more to reach its £448,224/$650,000 goal on Kickstarter. It's a considerable amount but far less than the $1.5m The Good Life sought on Fig in autumn 2017.
