We're back with another Druid of Hungwood Kickstarter update, and yes, what's super exciting is how it's in the final days. The Kickstarter itself has already crossed the point where this feels less like a question of “will it happen” and more like “how far can it go.”

Right now, the campaign sits at $94,056 pledged on a $50,000 goal, backed by 1,050 people, with 4 days left. The core game is secured. What’s happening now is about how much extra content and care makes it into the final release.

Before reading further please go and support the Druid of Hungwood Kickstarter here to continue supporting authentic bara games.

Druid of Hungwood Kickstarter Stretch Goals Already Cleared

Side Quests Across Hungwood

Most of the side quest stretch goals are already unlocked. Hungwood itself, Shady Prick Forest, Gushing River, and Turgid Mountain are all confirmed. That’s a lot of extra areas to explore, extra scenes to uncover, and more time with characters who absolutely know how to hold attention.

The campaign has shown a lot of potential like the Orc Covenant and Dear Monster past campaigns, which carries real weight if you’ve followed bara game Kickstarters for any length of time. With the rarity of bara games listed on the platform Y Press Games has been carrying the torch for years. It's why these stretch goals will also support not just the studio, but the artists and creators in the bara space.

Prime example is Dopq, an extremely well-known Asian bara artist who has done the key artwork for Druid of Hungwood while being the co-creator, concept designer, and project manager.

Stretch Goals Still in Reach

What Comes Next if Funding Climbs

The next goals are sitting right there:

$95,000 opens the Desert of Phallicies side quest
$100,000 adds the Crevice of Darkness, completing the side quest list across every map

After that, the focus shifts to Live2D animated CGs. First for love interests, then for party scenes, and eventually for every major CG in the game. That’s the kind of addition that changes how scenes feel, not just how they look, because animation impacts emotion and escapism.

Why the Druid of Hungwood Kickstarter is Trustworthy and a Push Forward for Bara Fans

A Studio With a Proven History

The Druid of Hungwood Kickstarter is coming from a studio that already knows how to finish what it starts. It's as simple as that. It's why Y Press Games also carries the weight of trying out new project mediums, adding RPG to the mix of an already long, lore-based game.

Y Press Games has funded and delivered many successful Kickstarters over eight years with no missed releases or vague updates. In adult indie games, that kind of consistency matters more than promises ever could because of the lack. Some studios create bara "inspired games" or actual bara projects, but don't deliver or even give updates. Y Press Games has a dozen finished games showing their dedication to the craft. That shows trust.

A Bara RPG That Treats Gameplay Seriously

Systems That Actually Matter

Druid of Hungwood is an actual RPG. Combat matters. Party roles matter. Exploration matters. The lust mechanics add choices which keep encounters interesting rather than gimmicky. You can fight, flirt, or mix the two, and the game doesn’t push you toward a single “right” way to play.

Party Members Who Exist Beyond Romance

Characters With Roles and Relationships

The party system is where everything settles into place. Companions are not just romance options waiting for a switch to flip. They have combat roles, personalities, and relationships with each other.

Even characters you don’t pursue still live in the world and interact with others. The story doesn’t collapse entirely around the player, and that balance makes the setting feel active instead of staged. And yes. The men are big. Broad shoulders, thick arms, strong silhouettes. While it's obviously a treat, the true excitement for Druid of Hungwood comes from escaping into a story's lore as thick as its men.

Why Continued Support Still Matters for Druid of Hungwood

What Extra Funding Actually Adds

Even though the game is funded, continued backing still shapes what makes it into the final build. Extra side quests mean more character time. Animated CGs mean scenes that linger instead of flashing past. Wishlist goals also signal that there’s room for more bara RPGs that treat gameplay and adult content with equal care.

A Project Built on Y Press Games' Confidence

The Druid of Hungwood Kickstarter doesn’t feel like it’s making empty claims. There are only a few days left. The game is happening either way. What’s still up in the air is how deep the final version goes.

The question is are you backing and hoping that next stretch goal clears before the timer runs out?
