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!

Legend has it that this mysterious marvel of engineering known the Pocket Brewer was invented by Dr. Cyrus Stansfield as a means of keeping the homeless away from his dental office's parking lot. Some say it was crafted by the government to subdue the masses of Starkham. Others say some highly motivated drunks cobbled it together when the Noose & Rafter briefly shut down for the summer. Regardless of how it happened, it has allowed the denizens of the town to easily make dangerous alcoholic drinks and hold all-too frequently drinking contents.
The game takes place in various seedy locations through the city of Starkham (prominently featured in our previous games) and against some of it's better known inhabitants. Players can customize their character as well as challenge friends in different multiplayer matches. Bet on your matches directly, or spectate on other people's match and bet, to gain money to buy upgrade, cosmetic skins, and items from the local Shady Merchant.
The game has the following features best laid out in list format with snappy phrases like:
- Face off against five different characters in story mode
- Various outfits, hair styles, and accessories
- Soundtrack by Macabre Gandhi and David Totten
- Online and LAN multiplayer up to 4 people
- Personal and global statistics on debauchery
- A leaderboard system of true alcoholics
- Over 50 items to mix, match, and drink
- Over 100 mixed drink recipes
- Over 15 temporary buffs to save your hide
- Over 15 Residues to sabotage your opponent
- Drink in various locations around Starkham
- Bet against friends and foes to acquire coins
- Upgrade and unlock gear at the Shady Merchant's shop
- 30 achievements to obtain
The game features online and LAN cross-platform multiplayer for Linux, Mac, and Windows so you can drink your buddies under the table no matter what operating system they use. Watch matches as a spectator and bet on the winner either through pot bets or side bets. Or get into the action yourself in one of four different game modes; each with a subset of rules.
Spectators can also rolls dice as they wait for a match to end or even try to influence the outcome through devious methods.
Similar to the "Street Loyalty" features of our last game, The Dope Game, there are some small bonuses for players of our other games. Mostly of the cosmetic variety. Each game played unlocks a different skin set to mix and match with the ones you have already. If you haven't played any of our previous games, fear not, you'll only have to spend a little coin to get them as well.
