Explosm, the creators behind Cyanide & Happiness webcomic, announced a new dating game entitled Master Dater, which will release in Q4 2022.

In Master Dater, players can combine Head and Body cards to create a variety of prospective lovers. They each take on the role of the Sexy Single and conduct a search for their perfect match by reading off their desires and wants cards. The goal of the game is to collect five Interest Cards with one each from the Love, Flame, and Spark categories to claim the Master Dater title. This game is for three to six players, ages 13 and up, and plays in 20 minutes.

The Cyanide & Happiness team also noted that they are one of "a number of voices last year expressing their disappointment in other crowdfunding platforms (that may start with a “K”) moving to a blockchain model." Last year, Kickstarter’s COO Sean Leow expressed interest in using blockchain for payment security, decentralization, and a Smart Contracts feature (see "Notes from the Bottom-up Revolution"). In response to this projected move to blockchain, Explosm is running their funding campaign on Gamefound instead of Kickstarter. As of the publication of this article, this game is fully funded at $239,542 with 3,813 backers (about $63 per backer).
