About this project
Hug Now!
Houyou no Tetsujin! Japan's latest game show craze hits American shores, in Extreme Hugtime Simulation Challenge! Enjoy fast-paced hugtime action as you work your way up the Hugtime Pagoda toward the title of Iron Hugger!
How awkward are your hugs? How long can you hug your grandmother before she begins to squirm? Can you calm an angry co-worker with a hug before you and everyone at your office are featured on the evening news? Then maybe you could be the next Iron Hugger!
How do you hug with no bones?
Extreme Hugtime Simulation Challenge—the first project of independent game developer boredom’s products—is in need of animation and environmental modeling in order to finish the current stage in its production. The project is the first video game of its kind (hugging simulator/puzzle compilation fusion!) and will be available on the Xbox 360 and PC.
This game has been in production since mid-2009 and—with the help of private investors —we were recently able to fund the production of all 24 character models. However, we need additional help in order to meet the financial demands of the next stage in development. With just $500, we can bring our game’s models to life with rigging, animation, and environments for our characters to exist (and hug) in.
Your pledges will go to…
• Giving bones to poor, boneless 3D character models
• Granting the gift of motion to our unique and colorful game world
• Helping us build a stage and other necessary environments for Extreme Hugtime Simulation Challenge
• Helping us provide gamers everywhere with unlimited virtual hugs

Love (and hugs),
