The Dope Game Remaster - Release Date - May 30th, 2021

Hey there, dope fiends! The horrendous US election period has somewhat passed and we're all still balls-deep in covid so what better time to drop the final release date and information about The Dope Game Remaster?
The remaster will be released on May 30th, 2021, which is the five-year anniversary for the game. This will give ample time to squash any weird bugs, put on more polish, get the Russian localization fixed up, and make sure everything else is updated and ready to go on day one instead of staggering releases. For existing owners, it will upgrade the current version of the game. Existing owners will also be able to test out beta builds of the remaster leading up to the release. There is currently a "beta" branch that has the WIP version. For new players, as per some conversations with the community, the game's price will be increased on May 30th, 2021 to $4.99. So if you are interested in getting it on the cheap, now is the time. Or any big sale after the Remaster's release since the on-going discount structure will stay in place. Here is the final list of new features for the Remaster version:

Classic Edition as a separate exe which can be started from main menu
Multiplayer up to 8 people running around the streets of Starkham
Customizable characters
Complete graphical overhaul
New engine and re-written code-base
New area - The Starkham Docks
New NPC - Jenkins; he sells various items to boost your game-play
New sub-area - The Bootleg Shack
Hospital allows healing your crew and you can sell organs
Old Lady's drug fluctuations have been corrected, improved
Brand-new police HEAT system
Armor can be purchased, found, worn
Upgraded API system to allow more drop/find with community
Accessibility features
All interfaces (HUD, inventory, Stashware, etc.) have been re-worked
Various community suggestions have been added in

I'm sure there are a few other things I have forgotten to mention too.

The Stash DLC

The Stash will get a bunch of new updates; basically everything in there:

Big addition to the artbook; containing new art and some comparisons
Updated Android Edition to Remaster version as well as Classic version
Face-lift for the thank-you note
New wallpapers and updates to existing wallpapers, plus multiple sizes
Old school terminal game is getting updates too

The only thing not getting an update in The Stash is the soundtrack. Speaking of...

The Dope Game OST

A brand-new official soundtrack will also hit the scene for $1.99. It will contain a liner note PDF as well as some new tracks that will be present in the remaster. All proceeds from the OST will go directly to Macabre Gandhi himself.

Beyond That

Other than all this, sometime in the Summer of 2021, I hope to get Steam Workshop enabled. Primarily for letting the community create their own localization versions, but to also allow customizing other aspects of the game such as backgrounds and character skins. That is all for now. I will have more news as we march into 2021 and will roll out a few more test builds before the final release. Stay tuned!

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.
