Game Garage, the developer of the upcoming Kirby Air Ride<\/a><\/strong> and Sonic Adventure<\/strong>-inspired title Star Garden<\/a><\/strong>, may have smashed its Kickstarter goal of $35,000, raising over $158,000 on the crowdfunding site.<\/p>\n But it isn’t through trying to generate further support for the project, continuing to add a number of stretch goals to entice more people to back the project before the crowdfunding period is over in 20 days time.<\/p>\n This includes PlayStation and Xbox ports and (perhaps more excitingly for us) a $180,000 goal that would see the video game composer Shogo Sakai supply two original tracks for the indie title.<\/p>\n Sakai is a musician who is probably best known to video game fans for his work on the Game Boy Advance title Mother 3<\/a><\/strong>, but was also responsible for providing music for Super Smash Bros. Melee<\/a><\/strong> and Kirby Air Ride<\/a><\/strong>, having worked at HAL Laboratory. In 2023, he left HAL Laboratory to become a freelance composer, and since then has also been making regular videos on YouTube<\/a>, where he shares his love of classical music and interacts with fans of his video game work.<\/p>\n Star Garden, on the other hand, is a promising indie title that sees players raising and training pets called Lumi (similar to Sonic Adventure’s Chao), which can transform into Warp Star-esque vehicles you can use to battle and race.<\/p>\n
