When it comes to crowdfunded bara games, trust matters. Backers want to know that the studio understands the genre, respects its audience, and actually delivers. Druid of Hungwood is a strong reminder of why Y Press Games has earned its reputation as one of the most reliable names in bara RPG development.

The game is already fully funded, but the team is still pushing forward with stretch goals, wishlist targets, and added content that can make the final release even stronger.

Druid of Hungwood A Fully Funded Project That’s Still Growing

Promotional artwork for Druid of Hungawood featuring a lineup of muscular bara-style characters, including a red-bearded dwarf, a white lion man, a human druid, a green orc, and a rugged werewolf-like warrior, with “Funded on Kickstarter,” “Wishlist on Steam,” and the game title prominently displayed.

Druid of Hungwood has officially passed its main funding goal, securing the core game’s development. That alone puts it in a solid position, but Y Press Games isn’t stopping there. Additional funds directly unlock new side quests, scenes, and expanded content across the game’s maps.

This approach shows confidence rather than desperation. The base experience is already locked in, while extra support goes toward enriching the world instead of patching holes. Backers aren’t funding a gamble, they’re helping shape a bigger version of something that’s already happening.

Y Press Games’ Track Record Speaks for Itself

Over the past eight years, Y Press Games has successfully funded 12 Kickstarters without missing a single delivery deadline. That kind of consistency is rare, especially in adult indie development.

They’ve earned their “Backer Favorite” status by doing what many studios fail to do:

Deliver complete games
Stay on schedule
Avoid cutting promised features
Keep communication clear

Druid of Hungwood benefits directly from that experience. The scope is ambitious, but it’s built on systems and workflows the team already knows how to execute.

Druid of Hungwood is A Bara RPG That Respects Gameplay

The UI displays romance-themed combat options like Tease, Dominate, and Submit alongside classic RPG commands such as Attack, Skills, Defend, Item, and Run, with health and status bars visible for both characters.

At its core, Druid of Hungwood is a full RPG, not just a visual novel with stats. Combat, inventory management, crafting, and exploration all play real roles in progression.

The game’s defining hook—“lustable” enemies—doesn’t replace combat. Instead, it adds an alternate layer of interaction that fits naturally into the world. Players can choose how they engage encounters, whether through force or charm, and that flexibility helps the game stand out among other bara titles.

A Cast Designed for Long-Term Engagement

Character portraits, names, and a confirmation box reading “Confirm your party? Yes / No” are visible.

The party system is one of Druid of Hungwood’s strongest elements. Rodin’s companions are love interests and functional party members with distinct combat roles and personalities.

Each character brings something different:

Dorik supports the party through runecasting
Murag thrives in frontline combat
Gildrath offers powerful magic and defensive strength
Clint balances tanking and ranged attacks

Romance is added into these dynamics, not placed on top of them. Party members you don’t date can still form relationships, making the world feel active rather than centered solely on the player.

On the right, a bearded, muscular man stands shirtless in a medieval town street, holding and reading a parchment, with wooden buildings and market carts visible in the background.

Why Continued Support Still Matters

Even though the game is funded, continued backing and wishlisting directly impact what makes it into the final build. Extra side quests, bonus scenes, and expanded environments deepen replay value and character development.

Wishlist goals, in particular, are tied to new content. Hitting those targets sends a clear signal that there’s demand for more bara RPGs with real mechanics and adult storytelling.

A Bara Game Built on Experience, Not Hype

One man has a muscular build, fangs, glowing golden eyes, and a playful, confident grin, suggesting a demon or fire-themed character. The other man has a bearded face and softer expression, blushing as he looks toward him. Multiple panels focus on eye contact, smiles, and subtle heart symbols, emphasizing romantic tension and mutual attraction rather than explicit action.

Druid of Hungwood doesn’t rely on promises it can’t keep. It’s coming from a studio that has already proven it knows how to finish what it starts.

For fans of bara games who value:

Muscular character design
Real RPG systems
Romance that grows naturally
Developers who respect their backers

Druid of Hungwood stands as one of the strongest projects currently in development. You can continue to back the game on Kickstarter here and help them reach even more stretch goals. It’s already a success, and with continued support, it has the potential to become one of Y Press Games’ most complete and memorable releases yet.
