Dev Diary - 6/12/20 - Haulin Oats And The Dope Game Remaster
Have we discussed this before? The Steam Game Festival? Surely we did. Either way, it starts next Tuesdays and the demo will be available during that week. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMj2xHauVeM As you can see here, the gameplay trailer for the store page is live! Speaking of, the store page is also active currently. You can go over and check out all the details and wishlist if it you so choose. This week was spent polishing up both the demo and alpha v0.0.2 for the masses. Which reminds me, if you are in the cast, crew, a guest, or an early adopter, your Steam keys are now available in Itch.io! While you can redeem them now, you will have to wait until Monday night to get a hold of the new alpha version. If you are none of these people, you can just download the very limited demo on Tuesday!
Sidelined yet again, The Dope Game remaster saw very little work this week. However, things will resume to normal after the Steam Game Festival is over.
In the meantime, here is a screenshot of the new bus map. It shows off the new location: the Starkham Docks. It includes a new NPC and sub-location: Jenkins, from One Way To Die and Into Oblivon, and The Bootleg Distillery. Both are a tie-in to Into Oblivions upcoming DLC: The Brewmaster. More on that later this year though. Well, thats it for now. Itll be radio silence next week due to the SGF but Ill be over there doing stuff!

This is a game about truck driving, the US highways, and oatmeal. During your time as a truck driver for the Starkham Oatmeal company, you will be tasked with delivering crates of delicious oats to the local grocery store. The roads are fraught with dangers, as well as delights, so be sure to take along a trusty co-pilot and / or pet.
Arranged as a digital board game, you will encounter a wide variety of characters and obstacles ranging from drug cartels, bike gangs, random maniacs, pop stars, police, serial killers, and the few folk that aren't completely crazy. Make your way around the board and collect your wages every time you complete a delivery then return to the warehouse. Use it to buy spare parts for your truck, the favor of lot lizards, or sometimes bribe your way out of trouble.
When you start a game, each player will get to choose one of eight different drivers; with three locked by default. Each has two strengths and weaknesses, like bonuses to truck ramming checks or penalties to dealing with the law. Mix and match the different drivers with co-pilots and pets to get the upper hand against your opponents.
Just like the drivers, each co-pilot and pet has one different benefit and disadvantage. If you get a bad Incident card draw, you might just accidentally leave 'em at a truck stop somewhere for an opponent to scoop up. If none suit your play style, you can choose to play without one if you want.
Special guest characters (drivers, co-pilots, and pets) can be unlocked through different quests or by doing certain things a bunch.
Old friends from our previous games make an appearance as well. One cannot go through Starkham without seeing familiar faces like Bill Finnigan or Aloysius. They are sometimes found in Encounter or Incident decks. Depending on who you find, they may have a mission for you or an item to barter.
There are a lot of other characters as well. Scattered throughout the Incident, Encounter, and Resource decks various characters await you, either to rob you blind or give you mini-quests to complete. Heck, some might just need something as simple as a ride down the highway a bit or a wee bit of your money.
A quick and dirty list of features, for those of you who like bullet-lists:
- Music by Azucar (One Way To Die, Raise Your Own Clone) and El Castor
- All hand-drawn art
- 36 squares all filled with adventure
- 8 different drivers, 8 different co-pilots, and, of course, 8 different pets (including special guests)
- 75 different cards per Encounter, Incident, and Resources deck
- Play with others in online or LAN multiplayer
- The usual breakdown of statistics and leaderboards to measure yourself against
- Achievements that actually unlock stuff
Whether your driving record is spotless or you've played one of our games before, get some quicker in-game unlocks with the Mileage Club! For each of our previous games that you've owned or played (demo, family share, or free weekend), you will unlock guest characters or table accoutrements.
Haven't done so or don't got 'em? Don't worry, you can get all the same characters and bonuses by just playing the game. And with a little elbow grease.
