A Hat in Time already surpassed its target goal and stretch goals on Kickstarter, but there still have been opportunities for additional content.

The campaign has raised a total of $230,000 thus far. Thanks to the extra $30,000, Grant Kirkhope will compose two more tunes for the game. Gears for Breakfast also has plans for new enemies. While specific details are being kept under wraps, the team is “working hard on providing as much variety as possible with the funding”.

Armikrog isn’t guaranteed to be fully funded on Kickstarter. Donations have kicked up considerably over the past couple of days, but there’s still roughly $65,000 needed before the $900,000 goal is reached. The Wii U stretch goal also looms at $950,000.

So what will happen if Armikrog misses out on its Wii U target? Nothing, really! Animation director Mike Dietz recently said that the team will simply take pre-orders through Paypal and “continue funding the game.”

“If we fund the game through Kickstarter but fall a little short of the 950K Wii U stretch goal, we’ll open up a Paypal site to take pre-orders to continue funding the game. I feel confident we can make up the difference after the KS ends.”

Dietz also shared a little information regarding the Wii U version of Armikrog. It will contain exclusive content, but Dietz didn’t reveal any specifics.

“We’re still working through the design and how Armikrog will best utilize the unique capabilities of the Wii U, but it is safe to say there will be content exclusive to the Wii U.”

Dreamfall Chapters, a new 3D adventure game that was successfully funded through Kickstarter, will be coming to next-generation consoles.

Lead developer Ragnar Tornquist told Eurogamer:

“We are preparing to go to consoles, without officially announcing anything. We are keen on getting this game to as many people as possible. The game works extremely well in a TV/couch scenario – it’s a perfect game for that. We’re building a game that has cross-platform technology anyway, so I think the chances are extremely good that we’ll land on one or both of the next-gen consoles.”

Tornquist additionally noted that there are hopes of getting Dreamfall Chapters on Wii U. It really comes down to the console’s ability to handle the game – there’s a chance that it won’t be powerful enough, though discussions are ongoing with Nintendo as well.

“We are also in dialogue with Nintendo. We’re going to be looking at it. We can’t make any promises because the the Wii U, it’s underpowered compared to the next-gen consoles and PC obviously – I don’t think that’s a secret or Nintendo would get upset at me. We’re going to look at getting the game running on Wii U and then we’ll make decisions depending on how that goes and what we see the market possibilities are doing. Like I said, we don’t want to exclude anything, so we’ll try anything.”

A Hat in Time smashed its original target on Kickstarter and has managed to raise enough money to reach all stretch goals.

The game just surpassed $200,000 in funding a short while ago. As a result, developer Gears for Breakfast will add in elements such as full voice acting, a tune from Grant Kirkhope, and a full spaceship hub.

A Hat in Time may have surpassed all goals on Kickstarter, but three days remain in the campaign. You can donate to the project here.
