Dan FitzGerald, developer of Dawn of the Plow [$1.99] and FireWhip [$0.99], has been tooling away on Dog Sled Saga for a few years now with his partner Lisa Bromiel. The game has been in early access on Steam for a while now, with promise of a mobile version someday. There was a good sign of that happening with the game being among the Google Play Indie Games Festival exhibitors. And in fact, the game will be hitting version 1.0 and releasing on mobile on September 22nd.
