Dialtown: Phone Dating Sim News

OFFICIAL KAREN PLUSH - LIMITED EDITION + ROGER DLC!!!

Alright, two big announcements, one related to the game being updated and one relating to merch! Apologies, I genuinely forgot to update this place for the last few big bits of news, but it's something I'll make an effort to remember to do during big news reveals! Anyway, I'll start with the more recent news and work backwards (and try to include lots of pictures to break up the text!)

New limited edition Karen Dunn plush available now:


Yep, there's an official Dialtown Karen Dunn plush, available right now on Makeship.com! I'm extremely happy with how her design turned out (especially the accuracy of the stitched horse decal.) I've had her prototype for a couple of months now and I've been extremely excited to show off her design to you all!


She also makes quite a pairing with the Randy + Oliver plushies! Together, they form a pretty powerful coalition of plushies. Honestly, I feel a bit of an aura coming off the three of 'em. Bit of an presence, alright. Perhaps even a slightly malevolent one? Beats me. Anyway, here's a few pics of the trio (assembled, as they belong:)


Of the three Dialtown plushies that exist as of me writing this, I'm the most pleased with how Karen's design translated into plush form! As you can see from the pics, the manufacture quality is just as top-notch as with the other two. If the DT plushies continue selling well, I have plans to expand into more characters, like Gingi + Norm (and perhaps beyond it?) Think of the limitless possibilities. Anyway, one last image of the trio, this time with crime scene/mugshot photo lighting:


It's like they robbed a bank. What a world. But, also what's this? Well, I felt bad for not giving Oliver quite as much attention as I did with Randy during his campaign, so I decided to film a skit trailer for Karen, featuring my new face mask! I wanted something that was kind of hard to look at and ho boy did I snag a beaut.

Okay, I feel like I might need to explain myself a little. Yes, I totally could've probably commissioned something better from a fursuit designer, but... I feel like if I own even PART of a fursuit, my soul is basically forfeit. This mask suits the vibe of my work better anyway, in the sense that it's extremely off-putting and hard to look away from (without feeling like something hungry is staring into you), buuut also fairly inexpensive. (Bonus!) I spent only $30 on this thing.

[h3]Alright, that's it! This Karen plush is limited edition, like the last couple, meaning she'll only be available for a few weeks! Store page is right here! Now, onto the next bit of news![/h3]

BEHOLD, DLC: Roger's route


Yep! You probably saw this if you follow me on Twitter (I know, I know), Tumblr or Youtube, but I figured I'd make a crosspost here for the few that missed the other posts: YES, there's gonna be a new DLC for Dialtown coming before the end of this year!

...and it's about Roger. I've got a few minutes of early footage from it, featuring a few new tracks on the OST, including Roger's own theme!

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
In this route, you can visit Roger's workplace and assist Peter in the arduous task of somehow figuring out how to help Roger save his dying factory (or, y'know, you can just scam Roger yourself and try to earn more than the pitiful $5 Peter offered you with croime.) The DLC will cost a couple of dollars when it drops later this year (month yet to be announced!) and will feature 6 endings, making the DLC a full DT route, on par with, say, Randy or Karen's route!

And naturally, if Roger's route gets good reception, I may just follow it with more DLC! If you've a hankering for more playable Dialtown content, then you'll be on the pig's back before this year's out! (That's good!) As the video also shows, yes, there's going to be more voice acted content (and new art too!) The response to DT has been staggering (for instance, Dialtown has hit over 1k positive reviews on Steam! Hell yeah!), so I wanna make sure the next nugget of Dialtown content's a genuinely good time and the best I can make it! :)


The video speaks for itself, really, but I will also remember to show more off when I get closer to release! I'm juggling quite a bit right now, so it'll still be a few months before I can finish this off, I reckon! Either way, figured I'd quickly note it here since I forgot to before. Thanks for reading and for your continued support, everyone! I'll update y'all again when there's more news! Thanks!!!

Thanks to everyone who bought a plush so far! Last week has been insane, but in a good way, like waking up to find out that the crow that lives in your shed now considers you a good friend and will occasionally bring you pilfered shiny objects, like discarded jewellery. Thanks, all!

DIALTOWN MERCH - RANDY PLUSH NOW ON MAKESHIP.COM!!

Hey, all. Sorry for how late this announcement is. I'm a big dullard and forgot I could put general news on here as well as Steam stuff.

There's Dialtown merch now!

[h3]I've partnered up with Makeship on a Randy plush campaign! So far, in the 24 or so hours it's been up, it's already passed the 200 sales mark![/h3]

[h3]These plushies are all high quality, made to order (one is made for every person who orders, meaning they're all one of a kind, even if visually identical!) and they'll be shipped out in a couple of months! I'm really hyped about having merch, the end result is SUPER high quality too![/h3]

[h3]BEST OF ALL, Makeship is willing to do more plushies (Oliver is being considered right now) if Randy sells well! They told me that if Randy can get to 400 in the next week (oooh) that they're willing to make an Oliver plush, which I'd LOVE to see.[/h3]



[h3]Here's the link to the storepage, hell, here's THREE HYPERLINKED LINES OF TEXT, ALL LEADING TO THE RANDY PLUSH STOREPAGE![/h3]
