Pre-heat your ovens - it's roundup time.
Hello there, perfectly respectable, law abiding chicken shop managers.
We've been hard at work preparing DNFC for our Early Access launch, so thought we'd give you a bit of a roundup of the news ICYMI.
NEXT WEEK we'll have some juicy new info for you. But for now, get your chops around some of this.
We ran a closed-beta that totally ruled.
Some guys janitor peed in the kitchen. Someone made half a million dollars for selling a measly bag of weed. All of you hated the first attack on your compound.
Big up everyone who signed up to help us test the game for the first time. Your feedback informed us of where we needed to focus next. Which leads me to...
We ran a second closed beta cause you all rule
We interviewed Nick Fokais, the solo dev behind DNFC, who totally rules
Talking to the man behind the madness, everything from his experience as a programmer to the inception of Dope Games, as well as his favourite type of chicken, of course.
DNFC will be launching soon into Steam Early Access - wishlist now to keep up to date with all the dumb stuff we make in the kitchen.
Get your hands on DNFC - again!

Developer Interview - Nick Fokias
Hey everyone!
In the run up to this weeks closed-beta test (sign-up here!) - we had the chance to speak to the man behind the madness of Definitely Not Fried Chicken - Nick Fokias.
We talk through Nicks life and experience in programming, the inception of Dope Games, the life of a solo dev and some inspirations behind the game.
We can't wait for you all to go hands on with the game this week, so we hope you enjoy this chat with Nick while you wait.
If you're looking forward to DNFC, don't forget to add it to your wishlist ahead of launch.
We are super excited to share with you that an MVP Beta Test for Definitely Not Friday Chicken will be launching on the 23rd June!
If you want to take part you simply need to join our playtesting group (and agree to the NDA) which you can find at www.mergegames.com/playtesting
So if you want to take part head on over and get signed up! Invites will go out next week!
The other exciting news is that DNFC will be going into early access soon! We'll have more to share on that before long, but we're really excited to get players hands-on with the game and get your feedback!
We filmed a fun video segment to go with this were Callum, DNFC's Product Manager, and Danny, Community Manager, answered community questions with increasingly spicy hot wings between questions. In the madness, we managed to completely lose the recording so salvaged what we could from our B-Roll which we've shared for your enjoyment!
This week, we're going to chow down on some chicken wings and answer any burning questions the community have for us! We know we've been a little quiet recently - we're trying our best to ensure everything is all good and in working order for the upcoming playtest. We may even have answers on this one in the video...
So, ever wondered how long the game is? How many fronts you can operate? What our favourite wings are? Now is your time to ask!
Leave us a question here, on the discussion boards or over in our Discord.
And while you wait, ICYMI, check out our Employee Induction:
A brand new trailer!

We're hard at work on a beta build in our MVP testing group, so sign up if you haven't already and stay tuned for more news!
We mentioned a while back that we had some beta testing coming up for Definitely Not Fried Chicken, that is still the case, though we're not quite ready to throw open the doors to your new chicken shop!
We want to make sure everything is just right for your grand opening so if you bear with us a little longer, we'll be sending out a link to register for a beta code soon!
Reminder! If you want to receive an invite for the beta you must be a member of our internal testing group. Joining requires agreeing to an NDA, as in the group we'll share opportunities to test some very early builds on a range of our games!
If you want to take part in the testing, here's the link to the group - this is your warning to go and get signed up before invites are sent! https://www.mergegames.com/playtesting
So sit tight a little while longer and before long we'll have you building your very own chicken & drugs empire before you know it - we can't wait to see what you think!
There's something else exciting on the horizon too, we've been hard at work on a new trailer! We can't wait to show, so stay tuned!
Here's a last peek into some of the fun stuff you can look forward to in Definitely Not Fried Chicken!
Want to get hands-on with Definitely Not Fried Chicken?
Hey everyone,
Something very exciting to share today! We're at a point in development where we would love to get some hands-on feedback from players in February!
So if you want to play the opening hours of Definitely Not Fried Chicken and can commit to providing some honest feedback on the experience then we want to hear from you!
We have a testing group set up so if you want to get involved please head to the link below and sign-up.
We'll see you on the other side :-)

Thank you!
Business in the Front & Party in the Back!
Hey there, budding restauranteurs!
We wanted to give you a little look at what operations might look like as you begin to build your business empire in Definitely Not Fried Chicken.
Front of house, everything looks above board as you serve locally sourced chicken (very locally sourced, more on that in a future update!) and hot fries to your customers.
The illegitimate side of things is where there's real money to be made...
With the right equipment and a bit of space, you'll soon have a thriving crop of Cannabis plants.
Once ready, they can be harvested and sent for drying.
Then your green-fingered employees can cut the dry Cannabis plants ready to be packed and shipped.
Then, with happy and oblivious faces tucking into your famous fried chicken, your trucks can go out to make deliveries to your other clientele ;-)
Stay tuned for more and we'd love it if you added DNFC to your Steam wishlist!
