Who are we?
Henchman & Goon is a small game development studio located in Bergen, Norway. We've been at it since 2012, and have worked on a variety of contract projects, including animation, apps, graphic design and more. These days our sole focus is on creating our own games, and our current project is Pode.

What is Pode?

Pode is the story of a little rock helping a fallen star find its way home. As they travel up through the inside of a giant mountain, they discover remnants of a lost civilization and learn that together they can bring their surroundings to life. This is a game about friendship and cooperation set in a beautiful, meditative world inspired by the aesthetics of Norwegian nature and culture.

Why are we on Patreon?

We began work on Pode in June 2015, and for the duration of 2015 we were mostly self-funded. Since then we’ve been so fortunate to have received grants from the West Norwegian Film Center, the Norwegian Film Institute, and the media fund Zefyr. With their help we have gotten to the point where we are certain we can see this through. However, the funds are limited, and it is still a stretch for Henchman & Goon to get ends to meet without taking focus away from the project. We would like to pour all our time and resources into creating an extraordinary experience for you to take part in. And to do that we ask for your help.

However, what we don't want to do is to exclude anyone from joining our community. Some people can spare a few bucks a month, some can't. If you do - Awesome! You'll get creditet in the game, you get to feel great about helping us make it, and we'll love you for it. You don't have to pay up to contribute though. Just follow us and spread the word. Help us by letting others know we're here. You'll still get access to everything we post, and goal rewards.

We hope you’ll join us in making Pode super awesome!
