Report Problem

Our 4 month plan to finish the game is done and I'm super proud of what we put together in such a short time frame!
And for the sake of making the working title official, I'm excited to present to you our game DOGWALK !

The main menu of the game.

What to expect

But it's not "done" done yet. The game is basically feature complete but as is usual, it's still riddled with bugs, issues and performance problems.

In the coming months we aim to accomplish multiple things:

  • Collect feedback and fix big issues we missed
  • Improve performance to support more hardware
  • Fix various bugs to make the experience smoother

We also use the time to put together a proper store page for Steam to make the game easier to access and find. Once we polish it enough, we'll press that launch button.

Some short clips of gameplay.

How to get Access

If you are already a subscriber, click here to get access to latest version of the game.

The game production was financially supported by our amazing Studio subscribers and is for now only accessible to them via our website.

Once we are ready to launch the game properly, it will be available for free! In that sense it is the same as all our previous Open Movie productions.

Open Source Code and Assets!

Click here to get the full game source code as of the writing of the article!

We're looking into ways we can share the full repository in a way similar to the other Blender projects, but for now this single download link will bridge the gap.

And just like all our other productions, you can get full access to our production files, assets and pipeline! The entire project is licensed as Creative Commons, so you are able to reuse, inspect or even build upon what we have.

You can also find a full timeline of all the progress and iteration on our production logs.

Still more to come

We learned a lot from this project. We were lucky to be in contact with various developers working on the Godot Project to help us out. We'll do our best to document our pipeline and workflow to present to you.

Thanks for reading and enjoy the game!
