CoaguCo End Of 2024 Update

Hey, gang! Been a super-quiet year with a ton of things going on in the background and a lot of radio silence on our end. However, this fancy end-of-year post should give you an idea of what was happening and what is coming. Feast your eyes...
Most of the time was taken up by life things and non-game projects with a lot of planning and setup for the final updates for each of the current games. Reviving our old Tenth&Hess Games studio to handle these last updates and start work on a new project too. Since we're here for the games (right?) let's get on with it!

One Way To Die

Almost ten years old now! This game has had a ton of updates and will see the final one very soon. As we saw in the Fall Update, the game's main loop was totally rebuilt to make it somewhat less reading and more like an actual game.

The story chunks have been condensed and re-written but are still as ridiculous as before. Conversion is about 90% finished at this point and will be out sometime after the new year. Probably January. Seriously!

Haulin' Oats

I personally loved this game but it totally bombed. That said we are about to release the game's 1.0 version on its anniversary in March. Most of the additional stuff was scraped but this last update will bring it out of Early Access and provide all the best, core things we wanted to do with it.

Like what, you ask? Local co-op, all the bug fixes, some re-worked rules, and more polish. There is a controller support and Steam Deck patch slated for after the release patch so fear not!

The Dope Game

Speaking of fear, the list of cool things that got axed from this final update gives it to me.. but the list of bug fixes restores hope.

The Fatal Dose update will come in May for the nine year anniversary! Holy shit, nine years of slanging dope and broken updates?! Yes. Mostly just fixes and minor feature additions like controller support finally and Steam Deck support. Some of the more ambitious things like multiplayer were dropped so this update will actually ship! Also, the sequel has been canceled to work on new projects like one we can't talk about just yet. At least not until all these updates get out the door!

Into Oblivion

This game was basically finished with The Last Drop update but we are scheming on putting in a controller support and Steam Deck update out sometime near the end of 2025. But don't hold your alcohol-laced breath on that.

Raise Your Own Clone

And a game I think we all hated will finally get an update we all deserved initially. Plagued by so many issues, this game was a nightmare to work on and completely missed the mark on what it was supposed to be. Bunch of assholes, I say.

However, it is being completely rebuilt from scratch into what a later design meant to do with and with more competent people now. It will be re-released in August to commemorate our favorite clone... The Flash himself. Yeah, he was the model.

What's Next?

We are doing some collaborations this coming year on some new projects but focusing on putting these old ones to their graves first. Announcements on new stuff will come in the summer of 2025 so don't worry. We'll talk soon. Thank you all so much for all the support over the years. Miss and love you, bitch!

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.
