Latest Updates from Our Project:
✅ Stretch Goal Reached - A Companion! + 🌈 NEW ADD ON!
over 1 year ago
– Sun, Sep 01, 2024 at 03:17:06 AM
We've reached the community stretch goal A Companion! 🐶✨
Originally, we didn't plan on adding a companion to Outbound, but we are very thankful that you care so much about the game that you brought this incredible idea up! This is a huge milestone for us, and we couldn't have done it without each and every one of you.
Our artists worked really hard on creating a cute and fitting companion for Outbound and we are happy to share the design today!
Everybody is different, and therefore we want to offer multiple in-game skins for the companion. You can customize your companion to your liking! 😊 We also added Backer-exclusive skins, that can be acquired via Kickstarter now!
🌈 Exclusive Cotton Candy & Marshmallow Skins!
We created two backer-exclusive skins: Cotton Candy & Marshmallow! These can be acquired as a Kickstarter add-on! You can add them to your pledge to give your companion a unique and very cute look! :)
To add add-ons to your pledge, click on the "Manage your Pledge" button on the campaign page or find more detailed instructions here!
Companion Gameplay
We have also been very hard at work programming a prototype for the companion!
You will be able to give commands such as picking up an item or directing your companion to a certain position.
You will also be able to put things from your backpack into your companion's pouch! Your companion can even store its items into your vehicle for you!
Updated Key Art
We believe that the companion should be seamlessly integrated into the identity of Outbound. And therefore we created a new version of Outbound's key art!
What’s Next?
While a major stretch goal has just been reached, we’re not stopping here! There are still more stretch goals to unlock and more exciting features to bring to Outbound - next one up: More Mini Games!

over 1 year ago
– Mon, Aug 26, 2024 at 08:42:25 AM
Unlimited Sofa-bilities! By reaching the Modular Sofas stretch goal, you will now be able to mix and match sofa pieces into a design that perfectly fits your own home on wheels. Want to build the biggest couch you've ever seen? Now you can!
See the first couple of modular sofa pieces below, which by the way are also customizable with your favorite color and with different patterns!
We're looking to incorporate different styles of sofa pieces as well. Which style would you like to see in Outbound?
Modular sofa option examples in-game
Unlocking the Companion
The goal for the Companion has been set and we're very much looking forward to seeing whether we can make it!
After the companion stretch goal was introduced we couldn't help ourselves but starting to think about what the companion would look like and how you could interact with it. So we created some concept art of a dog with some inventory options. Let us know what you think!

Lucky's treats
As you may have guessed, the treats for Lucky are starting to stack up high! Since the current number of treat Add-ons is a widely discussed topic, we figured we're turning it into a guessing game with a price!
Whoever is closest to the number of treats Lucky has at this moment in time (approx. 3100 backers) WINS a free Above Snakes Steam key. Winners will be contacted on Friday.
✅ Stretch Goal Reached - Beekeeping + New Community Stretch Goal!
over 1 year ago
– Fri, Aug 23, 2024 at 02:13:59 PM
The bees are happy! By hitting the Beekeeping stretch goal, you will now be able to catch bees and keep bee colonies in Beehives in Outbound.
We already have a beehive concept in the game, and would like to take this opportunity to show you how we went from a couple of concepts to in game models.

Community Stretch Goal!
We hear you. And we listen closely! Originally, we haven’t had this planned as a stretch goal, but due to the amount of requests we receive, we started looking into it. We are incredibly grateful to have a community that deeply cares about the game and guides us into the direction of what is right for Outbound!
Therefore, the next stretch goal after Modular Sofas will be A Companion, a community stretch goal introduced by you!
Bobbleheads & Supportocado Charms for Friends!
Since many of you asked about possibilities to get extra Aiyana Bobbleheads and Supportocado Charms, we decided to introduce them as extra Add-Ons! You can now add these to your pledge after you selected a tier.
If you want to add these add-ons to your current pledge, you can do that by going to the campaign page and click "Manage my pledge".
Community Achievements
And another item has been unlocked in the Community achievements! By reaching more than 100.000 views on YouTube, the Luigi Lamp will be making its way into Outbound! This cute lamp emits a gentle ambient light, while bringing a forest vibe into your home on wheels.

✅ Stretch Goal Reached - Fishing
over 1 year ago
– Wed, Aug 21, 2024 at 04:19:21 AM
Fishing is here! Together, we have unlocked yet another goal! Thank you for your constant support and enthusiasm for Outbound! 💙
Stretch Goal - Fishing
Many of you asked how fishing in Outbound will work, when we don't want to harm or kill any animals! So we decided that fish will be caught alive and can be put into fish tanks in your beautiful homes. See them as your happy little decorative companions that make your home feel more alive!
Here are some of our initial concepts for a fishing rod and fish tanks!

Highlight - Gnomes
Speaking of collecting - the world of Outbound is full of secrets! We've hidden lots of collectibles such as Gnome statues in secret places for you to find! Gnomes come in all kinds of shapes and forms, making each one unique.
We’ve prepared what we’d like to call our very own "Gnome Kit", which can be used by backers to create a large variety of gnomes, holding all types of different items. With a bit of math, we found out that with this Gnome-kit a whopping 367.200 gnome variations can be created! 🤯
Gnome Kit - only available to backers backing for 'You as a Gnome'
If you back the "You as a Gnome" tier in Kickstarter, you'll be able to use our Gnome-kit to immortalize yourself as an in-game Gnome statue!
What will your Gnome look like? We’re very much looking forward to seeing your creations!
Next - Beekeeping!
The next stretch goal is an exciting one - Beekeeping! Who wouldn't want to wake up in their cozy camper home with some fresh honey every day?
We also included a preview of the next stretch goals! 😊
Community Achievements
In case you've missed it on our Discord server, the Banana Hammock has been unlocked! Now you can sleep under the stars together with your Friends. 💫 Well done, community!!
In the meantime we've also unlocked 1M+ views on TikTok and over 6000 members on Discord. Only one more to go before the Luigi lamp...
More Charm Designers!
As a token of our gratitude, we've decided to increase the number of available "Charm Designers"! This tier sold out very quickly within the first two days of the campaign, and we want to give more people the opportunity to participate in the design process of Outbound. Thanks to the additional funds raised, we're confident that we can make more community charms happen!
In case you want to switch to a "Charm Designer", you can upgrade your pledge via "Manage your pledge" on the campaign page.
Cheers,
Marc & Tobi
✅ Stretch Goal Reached - Cozy Kites
over 1 year ago
– Sat, Aug 17, 2024 at 06:45:37 AM
We're hitting one stretch goal after another! By reaching over 350% funding, we've achieved the surprise stretch goal Cozy Kites! 😊
Stretch Goal - Cozy Kites
With this feature you will be able to let a variety of kites fly high in the sky above your vehicle and camping spot! You can make different kites and place them wherever your want to make the coziness of your camping spot soar to new heights! 🪁
We will make sure that there will be a variety of all kinds of shapes and colors available! What do you think of these concept designs for cozy kites?
Concept art by Dan Vitoria.
Highlight - Furniture Customization
Speaking of colorful kites - did you know that you can customize almost all of the furniture in Outbound?
To provide a large suite of options, customizable objects can have up to 4 types of material that can be customized: fabric, wood, metal, and stone surfaces. Some of our furniture pieces, like cabinets, have multiple surfaces of the same material (wood in that case) and each of them can be customized individually!
And moreover, there will even be certain items that can take special materials like patterns!
Next - Fishing & Beekeeping!
Since we had such an incredible response from you on the Fishing stretch goal, we figured you would also really enjoy the next stretch goal.
Let us know what you think of the next one and also feel free to keep suggesting other stretch goals in the comments and on Discord! We look at all your suggestions and consider if we can incorporate them into the campaign.
