Hey, guys! It's been a lil while, huh? I'll start with the Roger's route news first!
I'm on schedule for an October release! Excitingly, 80% of the route has now been implemented, including 4 of the 8 endings. Currently the whole evil half of the route is now playable! I just retrofitted one of the ending scenes with voice acting the other night!

As always, here's The Chart™, showing a more or less scene-by-scene summary of the route! Everything in green is playable and complete, minus a final round of playtesting/bugfixing. While the orange part looks quite large, it only makes up about 20% of the script! Based on the current rate of progress, I should finish the next ending within the next few days and soon after that, make a bee-line for the other 3 endings! As an extra little bonus, here's some more voice acted footage, this time from the evil half of the route:

The evil route involves Gingi running a scam on Roger and seeing how far it can push Roger's gullibility! It's a little bit experimental (it's not quite like any of the other routes), and contains some cool visual stuff, a lil 3d work, a sick art sequence and some great new music! The entire route also contains some subtle callbacks to my previous work which eagle-eyed players may pick up on!

In my NEXT devlog, I will formally announce the DLC's release date! I won't announce the specific day I have in my head yet (in case there's any unexpected delays), but I'd like to get the route out during the first half of October if possible! :)


I've been real excited to reveal this one! There was quite a lot of back and forth behind the scenes regarding the fur and boy, did she turn out beautifully! Here's a few pics I took of the plush!

Also, I've heard your demands and now, there's Ticket Jerry merch!
Yep, Karen, Ticket Jerry and Bigfoot! By far the 3 most popular pin requests from fans, available as a set. Easily three of Dialtown's more respectable residents.

Anyway, thanks for reading and for your continued support! Next devlog will be the announcement of exactly when Roger's route is releasing next month! Catch you on the flipside!!!

Hey, guys, long time no speaky! I've got some major Roger route news!
I've been REAL hard at work this last month! I'm actually at the final stages of development now, doing tiny bits of pick-up assetwork (namely for stuff like props in Gingi's hands + transition screens), audio work and of course: programming the physical route! In the last 2 weeks, I've completed about 25% of the total route programming (or 50% of Roger's evil route!)

This mightn't sound like much, but keep in mind, the total wordcount of the route is 94-96k words, and I even added 2 new scenes to the route (both of which have had scripts + assets completed and are being programmed on this very day!) It's been a busy, busy last few weeks!

As a treat, here's some footage showing off some voice acting + Peter's theme!

Originally, I was gonna push to get the route out at the end of the month, but given that a few of my collaborators ended up with having more on their plates IRL than planned, I think it'd be safer to aim for late September to early October! (So, during the Mingus campaign, which'll be featured in my NEXT devlog!) Based on total progress over the last few weeks, I'm actually completely on track to hit that target!

Here's total progress on the route progress chart (amber represents script finished + assets basically ready to be dropped in the editor, green = playable!) Some friends are also helping me test the evil route while I work on the good route, so that should help expedite release! This represents roughly 1/3 total completion, which isn't bad since most of this progress was made over the last few weeks!

The route also contains a lot of smaller things based on positive/negative feedback from the base game, including many skip points in scenes (to help the player control pace), more art, more voice acting, even a lil animation! There's MANY cameos and references in it, both involving stuff from the basegame and even from my older work! Obviously this is the largest route Dialtown has, in its wordcount, the number of unique tracks, the number of endings and more and I'm doing my best to make it the best it can be before it releases. I wanna thank you guys again for your patience. Rest assured - no rest shall be assured for me until this is out! Thanks, everyone!

Hello, everyone! I'm here today to announce the release of a NEW Dialtown plush! Just in time for Pride Month, without further ado, meet the new Sgt Norm Allen plush:

Norm's by far the most elaborate Dialtown plush yet! Not only does he come with a detachable pistol, but also has three interchangeable faces, which you can switch out at will! He also comes with a detachable pride cape! A portion of the proceeds from his campaign will also be going to the Trevor Project[www.thetrevorproject.org], who offer mental health support to struggling LGBT+ youth!

As you can see, he makes a great addition to the existing DT plushie lineup!
[www.makeship.com]
The NEXT Dialtown plush is gonna be launching in July, which is sooner than the waits between previous plushies, but Makeship pitched me something I knew DT fans would really like, so naturally, I said yeah! I'll also be confirming who the next plushie after THAT is in the next devlog (launching probably in late August, early September, after Roger's route releases) with a new enamel pinset! I appreciate the timeline's pretty condensed, just know the July launch added in the middle is why!

AS FOR ROGER'S ROUTE: the script has been finalized (minus one scene that me and Roger's VA are gonna finish when we've got time to write together as there's lots of visual gag opportunities!) and major asset work is being done, with several new posesets being finished this month (with only a few left to finish!) It's looking likely that I'll be releasing in August (so I don't end up releasing during the next plush campaign!) I'll also be releasing some more voice acted shorts on my social media accounts featuring Roger in 'em to help tide y'all over before the trailer comes out!

Alright, that's it for this devlog! Thanks for reading and have DIAL-TASTIC day!

(I'm sorry. They make me say that. Yes, them. The gibbons. They make me say it. You think I really run things?! They have a GUN to my head. Okay. Ciao.)

Hey, Dialtownies! It's time for a devlog where I discuss Roger's route some more! The next devlog after this one'll likely be the announcement for the Norm plush (which I've just received the prototype for!)
Some pretty major strides have been made, actually! The biggest and most important change to discuss since the last devlog is actually in how much new content has been added to the route. Roger's route has grown massively since I started working on it. Most notably, many new scenes have been added featuring appearances from practically everyone in Dialtown's cast! By my count, including characters who physically appear on screen during drawn segments or have full dialogue scenes, I think there's about 17 cameos! There's also references to characters who DON'T appear! So, very few characters have been left out!

Here's a new cameo scene from the start of the route, featuring a character that was previously unmet (but that many of you likely know!)

Joe isn't the only 'special' cameo in the route, by the way ;)

I can also announce that 6 out of the 8 route ending slides have been completed now! Some of you might be surprised to learn that 2 NEW endings have been added since my last devlog! A lot of new assets for the route have been completed (including new character sprites, with the route even having a few brand new characters!) Lemme whip out the chart so I can quickly quantify what's done:

The little bit in green is implemented and ready to play in-game right now. What's in orange has a more or less finalized script, formatted + ready to enter into the engine! What's in white isn't entirely incomplete either! These scenes have been story-boarded and I'm currently writing and finalizing a script for these segments right now!

The wordcount for the green + orange bits is about 68,000 words! For comparison, Norm's whole route is about 42k, and Oliver's is only about 24k! The route also has a record number of endings, with Karen + Randy's routes tied for second place, with only 6 each! So, this is already shaping up to be the largest Dialtown route by far! There's quite a lot of branching dialogue, tons of cameos, a new art sequence with voice acting is in the works (and yes, some of the new voice acting is recorded for the route, with two fan-favourite characters getting brand new lines!)

Since it's been so long since you guys have had a truly meaty DT content release, I'm going all out for this route, treating it like an expansion to the base-game! You guys have been really great to me and honestly, Dialtown's success has really changed my life, so I'm trying my hardest to deliver a route that'll entertain, satisfy and hopefully make a lot of you really happy! There's even nods to my older work + fandom in-jokes in the route and some scenes were drafted specifically using feedback I've gotten from the base game's content (aka, what you guys want more of!) Because the route has grown much larger in size (with lots of new art, voice acting, tons of scenes), the price-tag of the route will probably be $5!

I'm aiming to have the DLC out in July! No idea on the exact date yet. Presuming nothing catches on fire, I should be able to meet the date, given how much is done.

Hey, Dialtownies! It is I, the elusive and terrible Dogman. Just as I mentioned I would in the last devlog, I'm back to show y'all some brand new Dialtown merch, including the new Phonegingi plush and the 2-Year Anniversary Enamel Pinset, featuring Gingi, Mayor Mingus and Norm!

But, don't just hear it from me. Take it away, video-me!

Yeah, I think the video says it all best! Man. How about that tail, huh? Yes, everyone's favourite green dumpster-diver is back... in plush form. Complete with TAIL and Gingi's Iconic Mystery Scar™, the new Phonegingi plush makes quite the addition to the existing lineup of Dialtown plushies. I mean seriously, just look at these goofballs:

Adorable, am I right? Yeah, you can put this scrunkly entity pretty much anywhere you want. Nobody can really stop you, legally speaking, right? I mean, what's the plush gonna do if you put it somewhere you're not s'posed to? MISBEHAVE? Granted, if it did, you could do something about it preeetty easily...

And there's more where that came from!

There's also the new Dialtown Anniversary Enamel Pinset!

Yep! To celebrate the game's second anniversary, I thought it'd be nice to have another set of pins launch, this time featuring Phonegingi, Mayor Mingus and Sgt Norm Allen, together, like in the climax scene of Dialtown's final chapter! They turned out real nicely, and did I mention that Gingi's dial SPINS?!

Hey, guys! Dogman, here! Just wanted to write a quick devlog to show off a lil more of Roger's route (and after that, mention the merch that's coming out for Dialtown's 2-year anniversary! So, without further ado, let's get into it!

Over the last couple of months, I've been working on assets (backgrounds, character sprites), and implementing the very first scenes in the route, with finalized assets! I've also moved further ahead with the script. There's new voice lines too! Oh, and there's also been new ending slides finished behind the scenes as well. Funky!

Since I'm quite a bit behind my targeted release date, thanks to having to move in December, I thought I'd show off a few minutes of footage from Roger's route, partly to show that I'm still working on it, featuring the redux of Roger + Peter's introduction scene in Dialtown, complete with new assets, fonts and plenty of new dialogue! Work on the route has been slow (but steady) lately!

Yep! There's gonna be more merch dropping for Dialtown's 2-year anniversary (which is on the 14th of February)! Specifically, a Phonegingi plush and a trio of Dialtown enamel pins, which even come with new Dialtown art. Wowzers!

I'll resist showing them off JUST yet, but the Makeship pages for each'll be going live the day after this goes up, and a few days after that, I'll be begin teasing the new designs on my Twitter/Tumblr[www.tumblr.com] accounts! When the anniversary comes (on the 14th), I'll make a new devlog!

Thanks for reading and for y'alls patience waiting for the new DLC! I'm doing my very best to make sure that the wait's worth it! Thanks!!!

As promised, here's the devlog I swore to write about the new merch launch!

So glad y'all finally get to see what these look like, because maaan, I'm really happy with these! First time ever doing enamel pins OR glow in the dark stuff and man, am I hyped! I apologize sincerely to all of your wallets, coin-purses and cash-mattresses for the simultaneous launch, but I couldn't so no to the opportunity to make official Dialtown pins!!! JUST LOOK AT THEM. LOOK AT THEEEEM.

Hope y'all dig these as much as I do!!! Next devlog'll be about Roger's route but for now, have a houndly night!!! Ciao!

Hey, everyone! Dogman, here! I'm still juggling quite a few things right now and I decided to whip up a snack for y'all to keep everyone sated 'til I have more news on the DLC (which is admittedly taking longer than expected to finish with how many things I've been juggling as of late!)
I added a brand new scene to Randy's route (day 2) to replace a cut scene with God that was added to a previous incarnation of the game before the game came out!

The wordcount of the scene is just past 10,000 words! That's about 40% of the TOTAL wordcount of Oliver's ENTIRE route, with all 5 endings included! Wowza! Here's the very start of the scene (you can find it in-game for yourself by starting day 2 of Randy's route and visiting God, or by skipping the intro and selecting 'TEST GOD SCENE' as your character's name, which drops you right at the scene!)

I experimented a ton and added lots of branches with their own sub-branches. Only way to get everything is by going through the scene several times! Here's how the script for the scene looks with most (but not even all!) of the player choice branches shown:

There's also a new track added to the game (can be found on the extras menu, when you view the charsheets!), it's the same one featured in the brand new Dialtown Tool Friends series I uploaded to youtube (which is a short comedic lil epilogue to Dialtown, with all of the datables interacting at once!) Might as well link that below too:
There's gonna be some new Dialtown merch being unveiled VERY soon! I'll be posting another devlog on here in just over a week talking more about it! For now, here's a sneak-peak of one of the items taken with the lights off: (It's a glow in the dark Randy enamel pin!!!)

That's it for this devlog! The next devlog talkin' about the merch mentioned above'll be here very soon, so stay tuned!!! Dogman out!

Alright, two big announcements, one related to the game being updated and one relating to merch! Apologies, I genuinely forgot to update this place for the last few big bits of news, but it's something I'll make an effort to remember to do during big news reveals! Anyway, I'll start with the more recent news and work backwards (and try to include lots of pictures to break up the text!)


Yep, there's an official Dialtown Karen Dunn plush, available right now on Makeship.com![www.makeship.com] I'm extremely happy with how her design turned out (especially the accuracy of the stitched horse decal.) I've had her prototype for a couple of months now and I've been extremely excited to show off her design to you all!

She also makes quite a pairing with the Randy + Oliver plushies! Together, they form a pretty powerful coalition of plushies. Honestly, I feel a bit of an aura coming off the three of 'em. Bit of an presence, alright. Perhaps even a slightly malevolent one? Beats me. Anyway, here's a few pics of the trio (assembled, as they belong:)

Of the three Dialtown plushies that exist as of me writing this, I'm the most pleased with how Karen's design translated into plush form! As you can see from the pics, the manufacture quality is just as top-notch as with the other two. If the DT plushies continue selling well, I have plans to expand into more characters, like Gingi + Norm (and perhaps beyond it?) Think of the limitless possibilities. Anyway, one last image of the trio, this time with crime scene/mugshot photo lighting:

It's like they robbed a bank. What a world. But, also what's this? Well, I felt bad for not giving Oliver quite as much attention as I did with Randy during his campaign, so I decided to film a skit trailer for Karen, featuring my new face mask! I wanted something that was kind of hard to look at and ho boy did I snag a beaut.

Okay, I feel like I might need to explain myself a little. Yes, I totally could've probably commissioned something better from a fursuit designer, but... I feel like if I own even PART of a fursuit, my soul is basically forfeit. This mask suits the vibe of my work better anyway, in the sense that it's extremely off-putting and hard to look away from (without feeling like something hungry is staring into you), buuut also fairly inexpensive. (Bonus!) I spent only $30 on this thing.



Yep! You probably saw this if you follow me on Twitter (I know, I know), Tumblr[www.tumblr.com] or Youtube, but I figured I'd make a crosspost here for the few that missed the other posts: YES, there's gonna be a new DLC for Dialtown coming before the end of this year!

...and it's about Roger. I've got a few minutes of early footage from it, featuring a few new tracks on the OST, including Roger's own theme!

In this route, you can visit Roger's workplace and assist Peter in the arduous task of somehow figuring out how to help Roger save his dying factory (or, y'know, you can just scam Roger yourself and try to earn more than the pitiful $5 Peter offered you with croime.) The DLC will cost a couple of dollars when it drops later this year (month yet to be announced!) and will feature 6 endings, making the DLC a full DT route, on par with, say, Randy or Karen's route!

And naturally, if Roger's route gets good reception, I may just follow it with more DLC! If you've a hankering for more playable Dialtown content, then you'll be on the pig's back before this year's out! (That's good!) As the video also shows, yes, there's going to be more voice acted content (and new art too!) The response to DT has been staggering (for instance, Dialtown has hit over 1k positive reviews on Steam! Hell yeah!), so I wanna make sure the next nugget of Dialtown content's a genuinely good time and the best I can make it! :)

The video speaks for itself, really, but I will also remember to show more off when I get closer to release! I'm juggling quite a bit right now, so it'll still be a few months before I can finish this off, I reckon! Either way, figured I'd quickly note it here since I forgot to before. Thanks for reading and for your continued support, everyone! I'll update y'all again when there's more news! Thanks!!!
