Hi everyone!

Today is the day. Dog Duty was launched out of Early Access and v1.0 is now live! I want to thank you all for the support and trust you've given us during the Early Access period of Dog Duty. A lot has happened, and it is all thanks to your feedback! Thousands of bugs have been squashed, new enemies and vehicles were added and even a whole new game mode was implemented into the game! Now of course, this v1.0 comes with some patch notes, so here they are!

• Added a brand new Horde mode map
  
• Completed Horde Mode screens
  
• Tweaks on horde calculations and challenge
  
• Fixed issue that could halt boss wave on Horde Mode
  
• Fixed collisions/map of Swamp's Armor Supply
  
• Improvements on gamepad's target snapping
  
• Added a very specific and secret character on Horde mode, that may be unlocked by doing something very specific ;)

I hope you'll all have fun with Dog Duty, and of course if there's any feedback you might still have, please let us know!

Hey everyone!

With pride I'm announcing today that Dog Duty will leave Early Access and go into full release on 17 September 2020!

The Early Access period has been great, with a lot of player feedback, interaction and things added and improved to the game. We cannot thank you enough, but this doesn't mean that we're done with updates! Please keep your eyes on the Steam page for any news.

Seeya!

Hey all!

As Horde Mode recently made it into Dog Duty, there's been some new stuff that's been added into the game for this new game mode. Check it out:

• Added BotPods for automated defense
  
• Added 2 new turret modules: Hydra Rockets and Artillery
  
• Fixed issue that prevented placement of objects on certain tiles
  
• Squad now is automatically healed after wave complete
  
• Fixed an odd issue that blocked gamepad input on some certain conditions

Right now the developers are working on the shop screen when playing with a game pad, as right now we're aware that it looks quite messy ;)

Enjoy!
