Hey dope-fiends! This winter we will be pushing the "final" quality of life update for The Dope Game. The update will include things like:
  • New graphics
  • Minor changes in the HUD
  • Minor changes to interface controls
  • Controller support
  • A new secret feature
  • Minor refinements to Stashware
  • Minor refinements to combat
  • Minor refinements to inventory
  • A few small additions to The Stash DLC

The QoL update should be out some time this winter; most likely Q1 2020. Leading up to, of course...



Yep, The Dope Game 2 should be playable early-to-mid 2020. Art is being created, the base system is almost ready, and the majority of design is finished. This includes many of the ideas you guys put forth in our sequel thread.

An early access version will be available, once the playable alpha is ready, to let players test the system, help us make changes, and stress-test server capabilities. We expect almost all modes to be available.

Character modeling recruitment will also open up this winter to fill all the missing roles. For more information on being a character in the sequel, contact us at [email protected] for details.

We will have more information on the game available this winter with details on modes, multiplayer, etc. Stay tuned!

The Dope Game - Halloween Event

Hey, dope fiends! It's that time of year when the residents of Starkham don their favorite Halloween costumes and await their treats from all their trickery. This year from October 20th to November 2nd, The Dope Game Halloween event will be active!

As tradition dictates all the NPCs will be wearing their costumes and all the environments will be Halloween-themed. Even the illicit substances will be called by holiday-appropriate names. And if you can manage to collect 100 pieces of candy, you will be awarded with a special holiday achievement. If you don't, for whatever reason, meet this goal you can always reset your PC's clock and try again.

Happy holidays!

The Dope Game - X-Mas Event Live

Hey, dope fiends! The X-Mas event for the game has gone live and it adds a few things to the game, if you’ve not played during last year’s. The event will run until early January, usually around the 2nd.

The X-Mas event adds in two additional achievements, both tied to mini-games within the game. The first is for gifting each NPC a specific gift. The second is for destroying 12 different snowmen across Starkham. You will also notice that every area has gotten a layer of snow and all the characters have dressed up a bit. The names of all the drugs have also changed to more festive versions.

Happy holidays!
