Hey, gang! Long time, no see! We have been tracking issues in our user forums, working on assets, busy with non-game projects, and prepping a slew of updates in the space of time since the last post. Now we will get into what to expect in the near future!
Haulin' Oats
There were no expectations for Haulin' Oats but it still underperformed. That being said, there will be one large patch to bring it out of Early Access and then smaller QoL update after that. The plans to expand the game with some additional features have been scrapped, sadly. However, all the updates we had planned like Steam Deck support, controller support, score mode, extra animations, etc. are all in this massive, upcoming patch which is almost done. I really loved how this game looked and played but it was pretty niche and drowned in the tidal wave of indie games.
The Dope Game
The beloved Dope Game will be getting a final patch soon. It contains all the fixes from bugs we've received since the remaster update. It will also put the nail in the coffin for some features we planned like multiplayer and character customization. Multiplayer... just didn't work and that's OK. Resources will be moved to a new game project instead but we'll give this beast the ending it deserves.
Into Oblivion
Well, this game received its last patch with The Last Drop update and has been laid to rest. I do miss those characters and hope to bring them back at some point somewhere else. Some vague representation of the ideas for the canceled Brewmaster expansion were worked into a recent game jam game called TasteMaker. Good times!
One Way To Die
The final update for One Way To Die is almost, almost ready. We've talked about it before so I won't go into lots of details here. However, for a free game that wasn't super popular, it has received a lot of love over the years. I'm really looking forward to this final update, I think it's neat.
Raise Your Own Clone
For a game I hated worked on and it seems other people hated to, it is getting a full revamp with something I wanted to try. It will be the last to get updated but it is a really big overhaul. More on that when it gets closer but maybe the people of Turkey will stop buying so many copies.
The Great Beyond!
For the future, CoaguCo will probably release two more games then call it quits. Game development can be fun but making commercial games sucks: both time and money. It has been fun seeing folks enjoying these games and hilarious seeing people hate them. We will keep you posted as we go but at least there is light at the end of this tunnel!
Have a safe and, hopefully, not too hot rest of your summer!

You are about to uncover four twisted tales of misadventure surrounding people connected, in some way, by the late Dr. Cyrus Stansfield's cloning machine. Within these stories you must face the ethical dilemmas and possible fortune while guiding each character to their own end.
The story takes place in the city of Starkham; the same location as One Way To Die and The Dope Game, and features recognizable places and characters spanning both games. Owners of previous games will get alternate story chunks unlocked as well.
In the proper fashion of text adventures, the player starts a story and navigates by making decisions at certain times to move forward. Each decision has a variety of outcomes and consequences, many of which have randomized elements to them. Before the start of each story, the player is given the opportunity to change various elements about the story, similar to Mad Libs. These changes will move forward with each story as the player progresses.
The game comes with four stories which are released in episodic fashion:
Story One
The Addict follows the nephew of Dr. Stansfield, Marsch, after he gets out of rehab and inherits his uncle's mansion and lab. Will he fall back to old habits and ruin this opportunity or will he take advantage of it and finally improve his life while continuing the family legacy?
Story Two
The Doctor reveals exactly what happened to Dr. Stansfield leading to his nephew taking over. How did he die? Did he even actually die at all?
Story Three
The Neighbor follows a little girl, Madelyn, who stumbles into the lab after it has been condemned following the nephew's untimely mistakes. She also falls victim to the cloning machine and must not only clear her good name but stop her clone from doing further damage.
Story Four
The Clone is about Aloysius, one of the clones who survives Marsch's failed experiment, who tries to make sense of everything that happened since then as well as unravel the mystery of Dr. Stansfield's death.
The game launches with story one, The Addict, with the additional stories to follow as episodic updates.
The game also keeps track of various statistics, both personal and global, such as decisions made, random events encountered, and wins/losses over games played. Progress on each story's branches is also kept so the player can use it to experience all the different outcomes for each one, if they choose.
There are also a total of twenty-five achievements broken up among the stories, five each, as well as five global ones.
The story editor should be available for the game sometime after story four launches, quarter one 2017. With it, players will be able to create their own stories set in the Raise Your Own Clone world and make them accessible to other players. Be it through our website, Steam Workshop, or even via e-mail.
