Developer posts and news about this game.
Hi everyone! As we near ever closer to live testing with all of you entering the Monte Quacko, we wanted to talk a bit about how we’re preparing for all of you. Always Bet on Quack will launch with 32 player lobbies, making sure the space feels full without impacting performance.
Hi everyone! We spoke a few weeks ago about our commitment to not being an online casino, but we wanted to take that a bit further and talk a bit more about why we’re so against it. In 2015, Sam was playing Mass Effect 3 with his friends, most of whom ended up joining Dogwood Gam
Hi everyone! This week is the first week classes are back, there is a LOT that goes into that. We’re still working on Always Bet on Quack, and we try to have our classes not only use the game to teach but to help push it along as well. Last week we talked about Sam’s planned inte
Hi everyone! It is crazy to think the summer has already come and gone, but we’re now getting ready for the next school semester to start up next week. Both Sam and Tyler try to incorporate as much of the development process as they can into their classes. Sam is teaching Intro t
Hi everyone! As we’ve been working on the game I noticed there were a couple really good parts that almost didn’t make it in and I wanted to talk about why that was and ultimately how they ended up getting approved in the end. The biggest one is the construction minigames. Origin
Hi everyone! It recently made news that gamers in Australia are no longer able to use any of the casino functionality in Grand Theft Auto Online. This is something we’ve lightheartedly talked about but it really does deserve to be addressed. We fully expect there to be negative r
Hi everyone! As I mentioned last week, we ran into numerous obstacles trying to get our Quackette table home, and I want to share the entire adventure with you. The day after I was rear ended, Tuesday, we drove down to Maryland at 10am to see if the hitch had arrived. Thankfully
Hi everyone! As I mentioned last week, I would share the story of how this Quackette table is being made. We make plans to showcase at MAGFest every year, we love the event and it really is the best place we’ve found to share the games we make. For our submission this year, we ar
Hi everyone! I am so sorry for the radio silence. We have been on a bit of an adventure these past couple of weeks and last week it wiped me out so much I fell completely behind on posting updates! I wanted to share everything going on because it's been a process and I hope this
Hi everyone! We’ve been hard at work crossing our T's and dotting our I's. There is a lot more work to do, we’re now starting to put in final polish and final sets of programming. We are actively testing text and proximity chat so soon you’ll be able to quack it up with everyone
Hello Quacks and Quackettes! This intrepid reporter promises the following article is an UNBIASED review of the entertainment resort found in our great city, the Monte Quacko. Now, I’m not required to disclose how many room upgrades I was given or the amount of free drinks in my
Hi everyone! We are currently working on finishing up our final mini games. Before we started working on the demo, we had two games left to finish out of five total games that you’ll be able to play. Of all the systems we’ve put in, this one gets the most “Why?” questions. This s
Hi everyone! We have a really exciting announcement for you this week. After weeks of extensive testing and debugging, we’ve finally released our newest demo for internal testing. I know that isn’t as exciting as me saying we have an open beta, but we still have more to do before
Hello Quacks and Quackettes! Today’s top story may as well be in the tabloids! Famed international artist and known partier, Dük, was seen arriving at the Monte Quacko late last night. When asked about his plans, his team informed us he was here for an extended stay and would be
Hi everyone! I'm so sorry we didn't post a Steam update last week. Things have been really hectic with trying to get our new internal demo ready. We need it to create all of our marketing content as it is much more representative of the final game. This goes a bit into why that i
While post launch content feels ages away, we felt it would be fun to talk about what we want to do after we first open our doors to all of you! Always Bet on Quack started as a teaching tool and will continue to be used as such. Each following semester will focus on a different
One of the most rewarding parts of developing Always Bet on Quack has been seeing it become more than just a game project. It’s also become a real teaching tool. Sam and Tyler both use the game directly in their college courses at Bristol Community College, giving students a chan
One of our favorite parts of working on Always Bet on Quack is the people who bring it to life. Today, we’re excited to spotlight one of our programmers, whose work helps bring much of the features to life! Christian started as a student on one of Sam’s classes, and has most rece
When we started building Always Bet on Quack , we knew one thing from the beginning: We wanted the excitement of a casino, but we wanted to remove the predatory aspects of online casinos. Casino games are fun because of the tension, the unpredictability, and those big, memorable
Hello Quacks and Quackettes! Today’s top story is focusing on the city’s biggest construction crew, Quackers & Sons, and their biggest construction project, the Monte Quacko! Our investigation began almost a year ago when ground broke for the mega casino, the Monte Quacko. At
