The Deer God met its Kickstarter funding goal last week. However, just a few hours ago, the campaign’s donations hit $40,000. This means that a Wii U version of The Deer God will now be made a reality.

A $55,000 3DS stretch goal was announced last week, but is unlikely to be met with just over a day remaining in the campaign.

As far as the game itself is concerned, The Deer God is a platformer “about survival, reincarnation, and karma, all set in a breathtaking and unique 3D pixelized world.” It’s targeted for launch in 2015.

Check out the official Kickstarter page for The Deer God here.
