Thanks everyone for keeping up with the development of Doll Impostor!



Before continuing, I'd like to share a reflection: when I first launched Doll Impostor, I didn't expect to update it as much, just like some of my other games. However, this game had something that made me want to update it passionately (even before it became the best-selling game). Because of this, at some point, I realized it was more of an Early Access than a finished game. However, by then, it was already too late for Steam to classify it as Early Access (+6 months), and I understand that.

With this in mind, I want to clarify that the game will continue to receive updates as if it were in Early Access, and I'll design a strategy to promote it as a full release when it's ready, probably by launching a free prelude on Steam :)

Remember that the development of updates will be funded through Patreon! You can join here!

You can follow the progress on Trello

Now, let's talk about the new features in this update.

[h3]Daily Multiplier Reward[/h3]
Each new day you log in to play, your consecutive days count will increase. There will be a money multiplier based on how many days you've played. For example: 10,000 coins per day, if you play for 5 consecutive days, you'll earn 50,000 coins on the 5th day. Players with over 40 consecutive days will receive 400,000 coins per day. If someone reaches 100 consecutive days, they will get 1 million coins per day! :O

[h3]Loot Drop[/h3]
A system will be implemented to drop items from the career mode when a player dies. This will allow teammates to recover the belongings of fallen players who were eliminated by the robot.

[h3]Easter Egg Achievements[/h3]
A sequence of hidden items will be introduced (they must be collected in order) to complete the hidden dolls achievement. These items will emit a faint sound and will be well hidden throughout the maps. Additionally, since they must be collected sequentially, if you haven't collected the previous doll from another map, the next one might not appear.

[h3]Money Achievements[/h3]
New achievements will be added based on the amount of money currently owned.

[h3]Extras[/h3]
Additional items will be available for purchase in the refuge, such as: the radio, the Guess Who room, and a robot that will patrol your safe zone (in the future, customization options for the robot might be added).

[h3]Expansion[/h3]
The house expansion will continue by adding more elements such as lights, TVs, blood effects, music, etc., similar to what was done with the organization (with the goal of fully utilizing the classic mode house).

[h3]Guestbook[/h3]
A guestbook will be added to your refuge, where players you play with can leave a signature.

[h3]Co-op Time Trial[/h3]
The time trial mode will be adapted for multiplayer.

[h3]VR Adaptation[/h3]
As the highlight of this update, VR adaptation will be introduced! Some of you have already tried playing in VR using third-party tools, but now it will be officially supported, including proper input!

[h3]Weekly Tasks[/h3]
A weekly task system will be introduced, featuring a set of collective challenges to complete throughout the week.

[h3]Official Content Creators[/h3]
The official content creators program will be launched. You can check the requirements and benefits here.

Additionally, Twitch Drops will be implemented.
