The Dope Game - Remaster v4.0 Out Now
Sorry about that. Yes, there are so many different angles to the game that all the bugs were impossible to find. However, there is a patch being put together now that will address some of them soon. If you find one, please report it on our Discord or the Steam community section under "Bugs/Glitches". You can even exploit them for fun and profit for the time being.
Yeah, during the last year or two we discussed with the community the best way to approach the remaster version: should it be a new game entirely, some DLC, or free patches and a price bump. You guys chose the price bump with free patches; probably because you already owned the game. Turns out it was the easiest way to do all this without complication or setting up a bunch of stuff through Steam.
We talked a little bit about the content packs coming out after launch and now we'll expand on these a bit more.
After a patch or two, we will have a Skins Update which will add more skins to the customize section of the game. It will also fix the color selector, which honestly kind of sucks right now. The CoaguCoins will be available in-game at the bank and use in-game money to buy. Gotta spend them stacks on something. Next is the DLC Update which will update all aspects of the DLC content. Mostly a graphical update, it will also change the Android APK to a newer version and the console edition. There will be a few extra surprises too like Point Shop items. Next is the Combat Update which will re-work parts of the combat system, which is showing its age. You can fight multiple opponents and there will be some new effects like particles and such. Next is the Docks Update which will finally add a new sub-location, The Brewery. Here you can deal with ol' Jenkins as he sets up his make-shift brewery (featured in the Brewmaster update for Into Oblivion). He will sell the player a variety of upgrades to use in the game. Lastly, the Multiplayer Update. This, naturally, adds multiplayer to the game and lets you deal with or against friends and foes. There is so much added here we will discuss it more later on.
We do too so that's why you can change the game's branch to "classic" and just play that version. Go to the game's properties in Steam and swap your branches out.
For the curious, here are all the documented changes. Some may be missing.
This, as you can read above, is just the beginning and we have a lot more to share and update throughout the year. Stay tuned!

Well hello, dope fiends! It has been some time, hasn't it? Today we are finally releasing the remastered version of The Dope Game, complete with bugs. There is a lot to cover so let's get into it.
First, you'll notice a huge graphics overhaul but all the code underneath was pretty much re-written too. You will see some locked off options which will be enabled in later content packs (which we will talk about soon). And bugs.
I found some bugs...

Wait, the price changed?

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.
