‘This is Fine’ dog gets his own platformer from original creator KC Green – Destructoid
If you’ve been on the Internet at all, you’ve seen the “This is Fine” dog, also known as Question Hound. KC Green (Gunshow, HE IS A GOOD BOY) is the artist behind it, and he just launched a crowdfunding campaign for Question Hound’s very own platformer.
The Kickstarter for the appropriately titled This is Fine: Maximum Cope went live earlier today with a goal of US$50,000. The campaign video includes some footage of the platformer in action, but Green is quick to remind everyone that the assets and video are in the early prototype stage. Still, it already has some cute animations and you can kind of see what they’re going for in the video below.
This is Fine: Maximum Cope has players traversing worlds based on very real anxieties, including Humiliation, Fear, Failure, Loss, and Regret. In addition to taking on enemies that embody everyday worries, you’ll have to face off against larger Anxiety Bosses. Defeating them and capturing their essence in a Worry-Box will net you new abilities that help Question Hound head into new areas.
Speaking of the dog at the center of it all, most of his abilities so far have to do with his trusty hat. He can toss it, shrink it small enough to fit inside it, and even use it as a boat. He can also use his tail as a helicopter and fire off a bark blast.
No really, this is fine!
KC Green is working with Numskull Games on this one. Reward tiers include a digital copy of the game, the physical release, a collector’s edition, t-shirt bundle, and so on. The “Big One” is a $1,500 tier that includes everything else plus an in-game cameo featuring Green’s illustration of you.
This will probably be fully funded in the coming hours. When This is Fine: Maximum Cope eventually launches — it’s currently eyeing a March 2026 delivery — it should be available on PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and Steam.
