From the desk of Mayor Mickey McFinnigan (D)

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NEW FRANKFURT, Del. Alicia, take a dictation.

As we commemorate the 249th birthday of our great nation, I ask all New Frankfurtians to remember the sacrifices made by our own brave revolutionaries during the Battle of Frankfurt Heights on Aug. 27, 1776.

While we mightve lost the battle but through raw determination, gumption, and some big guns we won the war.

A couple hundred years later, we now find ourselves in a precarious spot where the very foundations of democracy, freedom and independence hang in the balance.

I, for one, will not rest until I am re-elected for my fourth term as Mayor of New Frankfurt and I can continue to lead our fair city toward the future. I trust you all feel the same way. (https://secure.actblue.com/donate/mickeymcfinnigan)

But despite the turmoil facing our country, today is a day of celebration, rest and relaxation.

To quote New Frankfurt legend of sound and stage Lin-Manuel Miranda, In the eye of a hurricane, there is quiet. For just a moment.

Now go out and do what New Frankfurters do best:

Have a Goddamn hot dog.

The Honorable Mickey McFinnigan,

Mayor of New Frankfurt.

Good afternoon to all hot dogs <3 And to everyone else... hi... I guess... Here's a few fixes and adjustments ahead of our big 1.1 update: Raised hot dog prices by $0.50 Raised base franchise earnings from $75 to $100 Raised odds of someone ordering a dog with sauerkraut by 0.25% Reduced odds of INFINI-BURGER customers placing larger-sized orders Included some new logic in the day 0 tutorial that should account for common beginner errors Increased the size of the "rat poison zone" slightly Added [spoiler]"THE PARK"[/spoiler] label to [spoiler]the park[/spoiler] contract photo to clear up any confusion Added a hint when the [spoiler]rat hole first appears[/spoiler] Fixed issue with "notoriety" not resetting if quitting from main menu & immediately continuing Disabled accessing a certain secret when the Prompt window is open Fixed a logic error for the Day 12 cutscene Fixed a small typo in Meet'N'Date

What just happened?

Against all odds, STREET DOG LEGEND has sold over 100 copies! We are stunned, to say the least. We weren't even sure if we'd sell TEN! You see, we're kind of bad at this "marketing" thing that is meant to make "products" "successful."

Seriously though, thank you to everyone who has played, left a kind review, and has dogged like no one dogged before. It means so much :D

We developed the game in 3 months and, although we had tons of ideas left, didn't want to burn ourselves out with something no one would ever play. As it turns out... lots of people are playing - silly us!

What's Next?

So now, I'm excited to say that STREET DOG LEGEND will continue receiving updates for the foreseeable future. The first of which will come in a few weeks, update 1.1! Here's a little preview:

Explore Mode

[img src="https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images/45629738/b7b1196c0e3ad1792a969d12066ef7b537acb9e4.gif"][/img]

The biggest feature of 1.1 will be an "Explore" option added to the map, with 5 unique spots to visit in New Frankfurt!

The Bistro

[img src="https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images/45629738/d683760b8551fc7bda93026e93ad0a20067dcc76.gif"][/img]

The Bistro will feature 2 drinks that modify work days (great for speedrunners!) and 4 rotating "regulars" you may recognize from your work days. Strike up a conversation with them, and get to know them better the more you talk to them.

The Bodega

[img src="https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images/45629738/87e9f190512ebc782484aefc5112b36204881a0b.gif"][/img]

The Bodega has 4 slots of rotating items, all of which can modify your work day. Squirt sauces faster, increase customer patience, and earn more money! It's the perfect way to start the morning before doggin. Plus, the shopkeeper might have some interesting things to say.

The Casino

[img src="https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images/45629738/7ad79b955bcd0af3941375491ac5d0765b18d49d.gif"][/img]

We heard you - you want to GAMBLE! Soon, your biggest financial dreams will be possible. The Casino features two games, Blackjack and Slots. Surely this is a fine way to spend your hard earned cash.

The Exchange

[img src="https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images/45629738/7b94e351f46d6c0f006d0451b628878682d09a5f.gif"][/img]

The New Frankfurt Stock Exchange is open for business! Invest in leading hot dog industries and strengthen your portfolio for maximum gains (whatever that means).

The Gym

[img src="https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images/45629738/e99ce0664b892321174229459f048c65145ed2ed.gif"][/img]

At the Gym, you can play 3 unique minigames to strengthen Tony's energy. Not only can you compete for high scores, but you can "level up" your ability to explore more spots per day!

What else?

Wow, you want more? Okay...

While we have lots planned, we are prioritizing "Explore" mode because we have noticed some players earning TONS of cash. Many of these new locations give you the opportunity to dump all that cash, but they also give you the opportunity to earn WAY more than is reasonable in a typical playthrough.

To compensate, we'll be adding a cosmetics magazine that lets you re-decorate / re-stylize your apartment. These upgrades will be expensive and purely optional. We'll have more to share on this at a later date.

What now?

Keep an eye out for more updates! The full 1.1 release should be coming in July, and there's more after that - including a working TV and even some more animal friends. If you're interested in beta testing 1.1, join our discord in the link above, we'll be sharing the build soon :)

Um... anything else?

Yes!

Big shoutout to KinzyKenzie for being the first to collect every achievement the game has to offer, and for being the first to speedrun multiple categories of the game. Not only did she set up the speedrun page, but she currently holds the world record in most categories. That's freaking awesome!

That's all for now. Dog on, friends!

Clarified the "Freeplay Mode" description Fixed issue where map could be opened during cutscenes Fixed issue with speedrun timer displaying incorrect time upon finishing the game Fixed issue with a certain "secret" persisting across saves when starting a new game from main menu

[ 2025-06-21 18:42:25 CET ] [ Original post ]

STREET DOG LEGEND had an incredible week, with lots of streamers trying out the game, \tens\ of new users, and we even reached enough reviews to earn us a little "Positive" on our store page. YAY!!! Thank you for all the support. Please keep the reviews coming if you like the game <3 Join the official STREET DOG LEGEND discord Let's get into the patch notes: Lowered the price of fancy sauces to $200. Now you can get saucin' a little sooner Added a "pointer" to the notification on Day 1 so players will have a better chance of noticing their new magazine. So now, there's the letter, the prompt notification, and a pointer. If anyone else playing somehow misses the magazine, I'm officially blaming you - sorry! Clarified two secret clues, including making a "6" more six-like Fixed cutscene typos & errors on Days 8, 12, 22, 24, and 29 Fixed issue where franchising reminder shows up more than once across multiple days Removed older "laptop open" sounds Texture compression was adjusted to a new format, which should reduce the game's file size back to ~300MB

HAPPY ONE WEEK ANNIVERSARY TO STREET DOG LEGEND!

We have sold over 50 copies and have over 100 new wishlists. This kind of global financial success was unimaginable to us... we are so grateful for the support and we are so happy people are enjoying the game!

To celebrate, we have launched an official STREET DOG LEGEND discord server!

The server is a little quiet right now, but if you're interested in discussing different story paths, speedrunning strategies, or offering suggestions for future updates, this is the place to do so! Just click the link above to join :)

If you've enjoyed the game and would like to support us, PLEASE leave a Steam review! We will love you forever and ever and ever and ever and- well, you get it.

[img src="https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images/45629738/5cb9ca57035c813a29d5a307e9ffe4222914a616.jpg"][/img]

Now, let's get into the latest update!

Here's some new accessibility changes:

Added a pickle icon to the relish bottles to help people with Red/Green colorblindness distinguish between them better

Increased the contrast to grilled buns & "special" hot dogs

And here's some additional hotfix notes:

Fixed the "Order Failure" sound playing at the end of each day

Compressed more textures to lessen the VRAM load and hopefully address the rare lag issue we've seen on some streams of the game

Adjusted the difficulty of EPIC STICK FIGHT, it is now slightly easier (but still epic)

Added a CTA for steam reviews after quitting to main menu (this reminder can be disabled)

Added a main menu button for the discord server

One final request: We've seen one instance of the main menu hot dog going absolutely crazy. So far this seems very, very rare, but if anyone else encounters the issue, please use the "Bug Report" button in the options menu, and let us know what your computer's specs are and if there are any steps to recreate the issue. Thank you!

We've had a big influx of new players and new wishlists overnight - another special thanks to all you legends out there :D Another big thanks goes out to @itswill for trying out the game on his Twitch stream, and to @jcubed100 for making our first ever YouTube playthrough! This hotfix addresses some pretty spoiler heavy stuff that affected some gameplay and story progression. Notes below: Fixed issue where Start Menu music wouldn't loop. Yippie! Fixed issue where contracts would mistakenly auto-complete after serving any following customer a "special" hot dog Fixed issue where savescumming before a work day started would trigger the work timer in the apartment Fixed issue where game would save past the gala, which was never intended. Continuing on previous saves past day 29 may result in bugs, I recommend starting a new game on either Story or Freeplay mode if you wish to keep playing! Fixed typos for some dialogue and a clue in a secret area Adjusted odds of "special" customers appearing, they previously appeared a little too often Implemented safety check for a frame perfect bug that involves a pack of hot dogs and closing the cabinet. If someone else encounters this issue, please submit a bug report detailing steps to recreate!

Happy Friday! Thank God It's Hot Dog! God, Freakin' Mondays - Don't you hate them? Good thing it's not Monday - it's Friday! Which is awesome, by the way. Here's a big patch of fixes for STREET DOG LEGEND to round out launch week! Huge thanks again to everyone who has played so far <3 Your feedback means so much, and it makes us happy that people care enough to let us know when there are issues. Before I get into the patch notes, I'd also like to mention that there's bigger content updates on the way - more cart upgrades, more minigames, more characters, and even newer content we don't want to spoil. So keep an eye out, version 1.1 will be HUGE!!! Now, here's the patch notes for version 1.0.1

MAJOR FIXES

Fixed a major economy bug where customers paid twice for each order. At the expense of the citizens of New Frankfurt and their wallets, all of your playthroughs have been making BANK! No more! Now, customers only pay once. Sorry to the crapitalists, but this is only fair. Adjusted the pricing of Hot Dogs, and the bonus cash received with further upgrades. Upgrade progression should feel more natural and challenging. Those looking to relax more can still earn double money by enabling "Chill Mode" in the accessibility settings. Fixed steam overlay issues on MacOS - Achievements should now properly trigger for those users! The issue involved application codesigning.

MINOR FIXES

Fixed a bug where players could cheat their previous health inspection by quitting / continuing Fixed a minor dialogue issue on day 18 Fixed bug where infini-burger grill upgrade didn't upgrade the grill (sorry) Adjusted inifini-burger economy so that it gets crazier much faster and is less boring Added additional hints towards some secrets in the game... I'll say no more!

[ 2025-06-13 20:24:02 CET ] [ Original post ]

Just a couple more tweaks today! Clarified some dialogue on Days 12, 16, and 18 Fixed issue where "Disable BG Movement" option wasn't persistent Fixed a rare bug where the happiness meter would trigger a day failure while inactive Disabled background artwork processing when background isn't visible to help reduce lag on some systems Applied higher compression to cart & background textures to reduce lag on systems with limited VRAM One request: if anyone experiences lag in either the Park or Downtown, please submit a bug report with your computer specs. It seems this lag issue is rare but I'd like to identify it further :)

Evening, doggers! Thank you for such positive feedback so far <3 If you're enjoying the game and would like to support us more, the best thing you can do is leave a review on Steam! Some additional smaller fixes for tonight: Fixed bug where certain unlock purchase would not refresh if already unlocked Fixed some hidden achievements triggering later than expected Fixed a particle effect that failed to stop emitting Fixed a typo on Day 20 Adjusted the probability of a certain, secret-path cart occurrence Adjusted bun grill R.O.I. and increased the "score" deduction for failing to get grilled bun orders correct

Thank you to everyone who has played STREET DOG LEGEND on launch day! Special thanks to BabyLongLegzz and fightcloud2002 for being among the first to stream the game <3 Here are some fixes to some smaller issues that were encountered: Fixed some characters / backgrounds that stuck around a little too long Fixed some dialogue errors in the "Entering Gala" scene Fixed a bug where a post-game unlock wouldn't unlock Corrected some outro typos Adjusted bun grill R.O.I.

Hey big dog!

STREET DOG LEGEND is out now on Steam! Go ahead and smash that buy button, or wishlist button if you have, like, mixed feelings on it, or something. Explore New Frankfurt and become the best dogger anyone has ever seen!

Development for the game started in February this year, and it's been a wild 4 months! This is my first Steam release, and first proper game. While I would like to say it's a groundbreaking addition to the cooking sim genre, it's more like a love letter to the flash games I grew up playing.

If you feel like chilling out, making some dogs, and laughing along the way, give the game a try! One full playthrough can take anywhere from 2 to 4 hours, and there's multiple endings to explore and even an additional game mode! Plus, lots of trophies / achievements to hunt, and even a speedrun mode!

And if you encounter any issues, feel free to use the bug report feature in the options menu, or post something in the Steam Community.

Well, with that, all I got to say is: Dog on, friends!
