As was revealed back in mid-September, The Deer God will be making its way to the Wii U eShop, courtesy of Mobot Studios. The 2.5D action platformer from Crescent Moon Games sees players exploring a beautiful world as a humble deer, with the ability to reincarnate as other animals. Though it's already been released on numerous other platforms, The Deer God is supposedly due out sometime this month.
An eager fan recently took to the Crescent Moon's Twitter to see if there was any news about how development is progressing, as the studio has been relatively quiet on the Wii U port. The response was that development has "made a lot of progress", though no release date – or window – was given. Considering this response, there's a chance this'll hit the eShop before the year is out, but don't hold your breath.
What do you think? Will you be interested in picking this up? Do you think this will still release inside of December? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
Thanks to Ryan Millar for the tip

Heh, too much eshop releases this month. This can wait. Good that they're making progress.
Also I don't think this will make crunch time for 2015.
Isn't this just an infinite runner, though? I'm curios to see how you all review it.
@argh4430 The trailer says it's procedurally generated.
I couldn't wait so i bought it on xbox. It's amazing! Beautiful story and fun gameplay.
@argh4430 it's not a infinite runner. Side scrolling platformer but it is randomized generated. I enjoy it.
Fun fact: I have a deep and unrational fear of deers. Yep, that's something.
Looks awesome! I want it! Crescent Moon games if your out there can you also bring Ravensword to Wii-U? It would be the Wii-U's best Eshop open world RPG and with the use of the touchpad. Wow!
Keep your expectations down, I have it on XBone and it's really not very interesting or good.
Hey look it's Princess Mononoke, where Ashitaka?!
No mandeer, no sale.
It's meant to be a pretty bad game. I have it on the XB1, need to get around to trying it.
@Jaunty Yup. It's got poor reviews on Steam and the iOS version is a buggy mess. More style than substance.
Its a bit meh, i was really hyped about it. not much happens and you just run on forever in an endless loop.
They lost me at "procedurally generated".
@GoldenGamer88 - that's only a fun fact if I knew you and could randomly place deer related objects around your dwelling
No thanks!
@vgakvd : So you don't subscribe to Live?
This game were free on Xbox One for everyone with LIVE. I Deer God free myself.
"Procedurally generated?" Does that mean this is like the computer game Ender plays in Ender's Game?
@chewytapeworm my thoughts exactly
@Ventilator on and off i do. I don't have a lot of time for video games anymore like i used to so i just get the pre paid cards for live when I play for awhile 3 months at a time. I must have missed it when it was free. I have it now and I see adventures of van helsing is free so I might download that
Now that im hearing its an endless runner how bout switching out and bringing us Ravensword instead? Ravensword would be badass on 3ds. Im passing on endless runner. They make me so angry lol
I already own it for free on Xbox One but from what I have heard it is pretty but gets repetitious quickly. A shame since it looks so darn good.
A lot of people said it already, but I got it for free on XB1 and it's nothing special.
Fawn can't b used as a verb, whoever wrote this.
This gets very bad reviews on metacritic, so I may pass.
Oh, and I hate procedural generated stuff.
@mrchills Man, where do I even begin with you.
....Okay.

2: Have you not heard of puns?
3: I find it hilarious that you're correcting grammar and in the same sentance you use "b" in place of "be".
Make sure you actually know what you're talking about before trying to correct people.
I'm the eager fan from Twitter! Thanks guys!
Yeah, after hearing about the glitches on the ios version and the general meh-ness of it all I'd caution anyone to wait for reviews and impressions before pouncing on this
The atmosphere and visuals caught my eye, the steam reviews are what opened them. It sounds like the game had promise but fell short in the mechanics/game play. Although they recently patched for the the bugs/glitches being mentioned, so that's nice.
Definitely going on my wishlist (which should have more organization than just the platform!)
It IS on my Steam wishlist...but I've been holding out for the Wii U version. So I could both support the Wii U and Crescent Moon.
