Work in progress sneak peek!
Hey all!
It's Marten here and I just wanted to give you guys a sneak peek into some work in progress stuff. The devs sent me some provisional artwork and I couldn't resist sharing it with you guys, as there's new weapons and new enemies coming to the game!
New Weapons
New Enemies
These are still getting fine tuned with new animations, and the new enemies (like a shield guy and a machette fella) will be added by hand into each level, but you'll be able to find these new weapons and enemies in-game very soon!
That's all for now, be on the lookout for a new update!

Dog Duty is coming to Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in spring 2020
Hi everyone!
I just wanted to let you know that Dog Duty is coming to Nintendo Switch, PS4 and Xbox One in Spring 2020! This also means that at that moment, the Early Access period will end and the 1.0 version will come out on Steam. I just want to thank you all for playing the game during Early Access and sharing your feedback. This doesn't mean at all that it's too late to share your thoughts, if you have any feedback, feel free to leave it in the Steam Community Hub or in a review!
The next step for Dog Duty is localization! We already have some ideas which languages should be added to the game, but we'd love to know if you have any further suggestions! Feel free to leave them down here in the comments.
