Hello Everyone!
We have to announce that we are not ready to release the remake this summer. We were far too ambitious with this deadline and we apologize for the delay. We are working hard to bring you the best re-imagining of the game possible. We would also like to answer some of the questions we’ve being seeing a lot in the comments with the most current info. Please comment below with any additional questions or feedback you have. We do take the time to read them all and we always have the players in mind during development.
Why are you adding a whole year of development?
Truthfully, the kitchen is the only room close to being complete right now. We have added much more content than we originally planed when we started this remake, and we are really excited to keep it going. We just need time to work on everything. We will aim to keep you updated with our progress. We don’t want to release anything until we are confident that it is ready.
Why remake the whole game? Why not just update it?
Much of the original game was rushed and patched together in just a few months. I had a day job during the start of development and just simply didn’t have the knowledge, experience or time to create a properly managed and organized project. Fast forward to today, and Who’s Your Daddy has been more successful than I ever could have imagined. I now work with my brother and one of my best friends. We are working with an amazing musician to create new original music as well as original sound design for the whole game. We are also working with an animator to create ridiculous animations for many of the events in the game to really help the characters have a life of their own. We are more focused and organized than ever before. I feel like we now have the ability to create something truly impressive and unique. We ultimately decided that we would be better off re-creating everything from scratch to make this a truly special reimagining of Who’s Your Daddy.
Why are you releasing the remake for free?
We are only releasing it for free to the Steam players who already own the original game. This platform has been, and always will be, our most important player base. We want to take all the support you have given us these past years and pay it back by releasing an awesome, well made remake which truly and wholly captures the spirit of the game. One which won’t cost you a thing but your patience and feedback.
We hope that through a major free update we will be able to create a strong player base once again and bring this game back to the spotlight. We also hope this attention will help us build a community on the new platforms we intend to release on, namely Xbox One, Android & iOS.
Will we still be able to play the original Who’s Your Daddy?
Absolutely! We will make it available through a steam beta program. Details about this will be posted here and in the forums when it becomes relevant.
I don’t like the new models, what are you going to do about that?
We will be adding the original character models to the game as an “OG” customization option for all users at launch! Their movement will not be exactly the same, as a whole new animation system has been built. A detailed post with images and video will be made soon to allow for your feedback. We also plan on creating modding tools that will allow players to create their own custom daddies and babies!
Will there be new content?
Yes! In addition to re-imagining all of the original content, we are adding many new items, interactions and mechanics for the Daddy and Baby! We also have plans for a large basement area that will contain all new content!
Will there be an alpha/beta to participate in?
We currently have no set date for any public builds of the game. Our intention is to release a demo a few months before the full release. We are waiting so long for this, because we do not want hype for the game to build up too soon before it is ready. With this being a remake of an already released game, we imagine your expectations will be high and we intend to meet them.
Will there be any content behind a paywall with this update?
No, absolutely not! Anyone who owns the game on Steam will receive the remake as an update to the original Who’s Your Daddy. It will be like the original is being overwritten with this update, however you will still have access to all the original content as well through the beta program as mentioned above. However, if you are interested in getting the game on one of the other platforms we are releasing on(Xbox One, Android & iOS), we will not have any way of tracking ownership to that. You will have to purchase it through those platform’s stores. The pricing on all platforms will be $4.99.
Any plans for future updates after the remake?
We don’t want to get ahead of ourselves, but we do intend to continue working on the game even after this remake. Our focus at that time would be to begin developing a completely new map. We have zero intentions of ever putting any new content behind a paywall.
We would also like to announce that the official name of the remake will be referred to as “Who’s Your Daddy?!” (We have edited some of the previous posts to be in-line with this)
