Hey, dope fiends! Holy crap, we have a rather big update today. The Doped update has finally hit and is our first big content update for the game. We have a bunch of different pieces of into and here they are broken into chunks!
Giveaway
To celebrate we are doing a giveaway over at our community hub which will go live after this post does. We will be giving away a few copies of the Dope Fiend edition of the game.
Twitch
We will be streaming a play-through of the new version around 5 PM CST! Just head over to our Twitch page and hope the stream doesn't shit out half-way through!

Discount
We were going to do a discount for this update but Valve has a cooldown period on that kind of thing so it was a no-go since Summer Sale wasn't that long ago. Because of this, we will be posting discounts to Itch.io and Indiegamestand instead! With a Steam discount coming at the end of the month.
