  Big Exciting News with lots of KINETIC energy!

  Hi everyone, have you already heard the big news?Crescent County is going to be published by Kinetic Publishing! ✨✨🎉🎉🎊🎊🥳🥳This was announced last week as part of the Kinetic Publishing showcase! We are INCREDIBLY EXCITED to announce this partnership. Working with Kinetic Publishing will allow us to scale up our development efforts and deliver the best possible version of Crescent County. We're SO JAZZED!You can check out our feature in their first ever showcase above, where we share some footage from our new island, and talk about our journey and inspirations! We've been hard at work building the final version of the game these past eight months, and we can't wait to show you more!❗The first thing we want to say with this news: To our Kickstarter backers - we would not be here without you. The funds raised through our Kickstarter campaign have allowed a small team of us to continue working on this game, developing vital assets and systems. We are eternally thankful to everyone who showed up to support us in 2025 when we needed it most.❓Just in case you’re wondering - all Kickstarter rewards will still be fulfilled. No worries about that whatsoever. However, our Kickstarter campaign said we would aim to finish the game around October 2026 - this date has to change. We are currently looking at ☀️Summer 2027☀️ as a new release date. We recognise this is a big jump and the reality is, whilst we have been making great progress on the game in this last year, we have been a small team and we have had to make some big changes to our world and systems. Those of you who have been keeping up with our Kickstarter updates will have a good sense of our achievements and progress over the past year but we are simply nowhere near ready to put the game in players hands. Please rest assured that we are all working our hardest to create a game and an experience that will live up to your expectations.🎮 Slightly less relevantly for Steam, but originally we had aimed to release on PC and X...

This isn’t shrinkflation, we promise! It’s to ensure the island is the right size for the story we want to tell, keeping everything in scope and improving the overall performance.Roadworks in progress - Our new system adapts roads to the terrain they are placed on SO. MUCH. BETTER. They feature intersections and branching-off lanes, as well as having automated prop placement!

  Summer Game Fest + Steam Next Fest!

  Hellooooo!🧹Quick status update on the Kickstarter: TEN days left and nearly at £70k!! This is an amazing achievement, thank you all so much for your support so far! Now let's get to the news!Summer Game Fest 2025We get very very excited whenever Crescent County gets talked about by someone who isn’t us and so can you imagine our excitement to announce that Crescent County will be in TWO showcases during the Summer Game Fest! Starting tomorrow at 17:00 BST is the Wholesome Direct, an incredible line of games with positive and uplifting vibes. We always love the beauty and variety of the games featured in this showcase and it’s a true honour that Crescent County will be counted amongst them. And then, straight afterwards starting at 19:00 BST we’ve got the Women-Led-Games showcase. It shouldn’t be any secret that there are really incredible women working in the Games Industry and many of them take a lead role in creating some of the best games each and every year, much of the work behind Crescent County is thanks to our very own Anna Hollinrake and we can’t wait to see what other creators and projects are showcased alongside Crescent County during this event.If you happen to spot us during these showcases feel free to tag us on Bluesky/Twitter/Instagram and tell us how excited you are for Crescent County (we don't mind 😉).Next Fest DemoWe're throwing our baseball cap (which you could get as a Kickstarter reward 👀) into the Next Fest ring! This Next Fest will be active from June 9th and ends on June 16th. You probably already know this but game demos get so much more coverage and signal boosting during Next Fest and seeing as our Kickstarter is going to come to an end on June 17th, we’d really really appreciate it if everyone reading this could find a moment to hop onto the Crescent County demo during Next Fest and help spread the word about our game!

  Kickstarter funded in under 24 hours! Stretch goals! London Comic Con!

  It’s been just over a week since we launched our Kickstarter, and a LOT has happened. Let’s get to the biggest news first though! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45053786/0b35631b112f415bd84c82654407b1a4d54ee1cb.png Crescent County hit its funding goal in under 24 hours. This is an absolutely unbelievable achievement and we are so, so thankful. For a game idea that started out so small, and so hopeful, and seemed so utterly impossible to make real, we’re now sitting at 62k with 20 days left to go. From all of us at Electric Saint, thank you so much for all your cheering and enthusiasm and support. We crossed the line at 16:37, with more than an hour to left on the clock! It was also CARNAGE in the Discord as we speculated on whether we’d cross the finish line before the 24 hour mark. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45053786/b7a8ed5653291509d2938a094b9243ab11314b73.png We were screaming, we were cheering, there was much keyboard smashing. We didn’t think it was likely to happen in 24 hours at ALL, but the sheer momentum of this community’s energy carried us forward. With delight and yelling and memes. Sending you all SO MUCH LOVE!!!! And hop into the Discord if you’d like to get involved! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45053786/c79f17328ae3a34a277f35abc9ff7d6303212fbd.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45053786/c514b131cfd102ab9c5eb073940d71110dafb604.png We’ve also hit our first stretch goal: £60k: Expanded Driving Radio! Music is such a vital moodsetter for our game, and we want to have as many vibey tracks in Crescent County as possible. With the extra funding, we can pay for more music for our in-game radio/background music (not the Spotify playlist)! Alongside creating more original music to add to our OST, we also want to license music from existing artists. We'd love for CC to act as a literal vehicle for music discovery, especially for new and upcoming local bands! This is something we're already doing in a small way, but we want to do it a WHOLE LOT MORE! Our next stretch goal iiiiis: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/450...
