Dev Diary - 5/15/20 - Haulin Oats And The Dope Game Remaster

Hey there, fellers! It is that time again, you know the one; development diaries for both Haulin Oats and The Dope Game remaster. Ill keep them brief, as is tradition.

Haulin Oats

This week was a crunch to get the demo submitted for the Steam Game Festival and, by the skin of my ass, I made it. The demo is based on the alpha version 0.0.2 build that you early adopters will get access to soon (and on Steam, no less); more on that a little later. The demo will be available at the start of the Steam Game Festival for the public to try. It limits you to just singleplayer, with only the basic five drivers, co-pilots, and pets. Encounter, Resource, and Incident cards are limited to the first 10. Everything else should function as normal. Oh, except you only get one lap before the demo ends; however, you can replay it over and over to get a taste of the whole board. This demo will also be updated as alpha testing and beta testing continue. It will also turn into the games official demo at release.

Back to the next alpha build, I am currently doing one more big polish and bug pass before uploading it to Steam. I dont have an exact date but Id say very soon. Once that gets uploaded, the Steam keys for cast, crew, early adopters, and some other folks will be passed out. The bulk will be available through the Itch.io links you were given previously or in your Itch.io account. The small remainder will be e-mail individually. A little bit down the road is alpha version 0.0.3 which will have multiplayer and Steam achievements. Hopefully this will also be the last alpha version before moving into beta as all the systems will be in place and just need tweaked. Oh, and a trailer is being worked on too...

The Dope Game Remaster

Honestly, not a lot happened with The Dope Game this week as almost all the time was spent getting Haulin Oats demo ready. Nonetheless, there was some work done though it was mostly bug-hunting.

Here is a screenshot of the main menu now. You know, for shits and giggles. I was going to upload the new store graphics and Steam assets, as well as new achievement icons but after getting everything in place it just seemed a bit confusing. You know, considering it doesnt match the current version thats available. That being said, the beta branch should get some love soon. Still hoping to hit the May 30th deadline and 4-year anniversary of the games launch, so I should get back to it. See you next week for more!

The Dope Game: The Stash

To escape the city of Starkham and start your new life, you get your friend Preston to set up a meeting with the local loanshark, Sweaty Mike. After foolishly borrowing $2,000 to start your fledging drug dealing career, you embark on a timed mission to sell as many drugs as possible throughout the city. However, you must evade the police, make sure not to ♥♥♥♥ off the locals too much, and navigate an ever-changing drug market.

Visit locations like Crockfort, Pinky's Gun Emporium, Murphy's Lake, The Noose & Rafter Bar, Hillside, Saint Jaysus Memorial Hospital, and more to interact with people and buy or sell a variety of drugs. Almost everyone you meet can be fought or bartered with in some manner.

The Dope Game, the newest game from CoaguCo Industries, It is a take on John E. Dell's 1984 classic game Drugwars, where the player goes around New York City trying to make as much money as possible selling drugs while evading the police. But this isn't New York City. Or 1984. The Dope Game takes place in the fictional city of Starkham, Blannington, most infamously known from our previous games One Way To Die and Raise Your Own Clone.

The game features original music by Macabre Gandhi and fully hand-drawn art assets by GP Garcia. For those of you unfamiliar with the premise, here is a fancy list of game features:

15 locations around Starkham
16 different drugs to buy and sell
10 (barely) different weapons
8 different game lengths to play
Listen to the old lady say lots of things on the bus (unlocks stuff sometimes)
Borrow money from the loanshark (and maybe pay it back)
Interact with (and fight) a variety of townspeople
Randomly lose drugs, money, or weapons and possibly find those of other players
Hire crew members to fight with you
Random generated crew members: names, weapons, health, damage
Full soundtrack by Macabre Gandhi
22 Achievements
Fully hand-drawn game assets
A variety of random mechanics to make each game unique(ish)
Back up statistics on CoaguCo's server (requires account) and Steam

Owners of One Way To Die (dude, it's free) and/or Raise Your Own Clone will have access to two additional locations, The Finningan Brothers Fun Park and Dr. Stansfield's Cloning Lab, respectively. The Fun Park provides a new NPC to interact with, Bill Finningan, as well as allowing you to sell your wares to park-goers. The Cloning Lab provides another new NPC, Dr. Stansfield's Nephew, who allows you to stash drugs there for your next run. However, he may just do some of them.
