EPISODE 2 UPDATES: STEAM DIRECT AND GREENLIGHT
Doris and the Dragon is a love story. Our brave heroine is on a journey to find her missing husband Albert in the vast wilderness that is Limbo / Purgatory / The Divide / The Underworld - whatever you want to call it really.
We are pleased to announce that we are on sale again to celebrate Valentine's Day! I'm sure Doris misses Albert very much so make sure you support the project this week!
Today, Saf has been spending her time with us creating the stunning promo image that is available at the top of the page. Here is a sketch of the work in progress.
This week, Valve announced the new Steam Direct feature that will now replace Greenlight which is exciting news for the development community. There are a few articles that have been posted over the last few days that go into the potential strengths and weaknesses of such a system but we have faith that whatever happens, it will benefit the Steam marketplace as a whole.
It does throw a bit of a spanner into the works of how we were planning to release the full Doris game but the plan is to still aim to upload Doris and the Dragon Episode 2 to Greenlight as soon as possible. We hope that we can have your support to push this through the voting procedure as quickly as we did last time!
We are back in the studio again to do more voice tests for the outstanding characters. As of right now, we have ten new characters and about ten new explorable areas with more to come. Most of them are confirmed with the voice actors that we have available but we are still in the process of casting the last few that have proved to be a little difficult. Don't worry we are on top of it!
One of the comments we received on Steam asked what sort of improvements we might be making to the voice acting for Doris Episode 2. For a start, the voice of Doris is staying the same for Episodes 2 and 3 for consistency and we are constantly working on how we select the right takes. Ideally, we would be setting aside at least a few weeks to make sure that the vocals are really tidy in time for the release!
See the photo below for a snap from our latest recording session:
We learned a lot from releasing Episode 1 and we really appreciate all the feedback that we received. We are confident that this will make Episode 2 even bigger and better.
We'll be back soon with another update!

Check out some of our recent reviews on Steam from Verified Customers:
An unexpected treat, a joyously little thing, and with such great voice acting. It reminded me of what I loved about Pratchett, and it caught me off guard by sharing a more fleshed out view on Grant Morrison's concept of the purpose of a Universe. All in all, lovely. Fun characters, great voice acting, and just an overall sense of fun. Really, really good job. I couldn't praise you enough, despite how short it is. Loved it right down to the stylised visuals that reminded me of Another World. Please make more.

EPISODE 2 UPDATES: NEW MUSIC, NEW SCENES - TRAILER COMING SOON!
Happy New Year everyone - we hope you have had a great start to the year!
In the last blog post, we shared how we have been putting the assets into the game and polishing off the scenes that we are going to reveal in the trailer.
Just click and play the video to have a look at some of the new music that is going into the game right now! Ben and Assad seem pleased with the progress!

We are back from a short winter break and ready to leap into action to make a real push for the trailer. It's taken a little longer than expected to get the assets together. We really want to make sure that the trailer was the best representation of the game possible, so we are taking our time to ensure that it's going to be perfect.
This is a quick snap of the Arrogant Pixel development team as we say goodbye for Christmas and the New year break before coming back to work in January!
Saf has been spending her time animating the scenes and the new characters (which we are SO excited to show you by the way). It looks like an almost complete game! Ben is busy putting everything into the game. We still have voice acting to complete but since Ryan is now back in the country, we are jumping on that too this week.
This is a quick photo from today's work jam session :D
We are working as hard as we possibly can on this game. It is truly a labor of love.
We'll be back soon with another update!

EPISODE 2 UPDATES: SOME MAJOR MILESTONES :Doris:
Happy Holidays to the IndieDB community. We are pleased to announce that we are on Sale again. You can grab up to 33% off in the Steam Sale! This is for a Limited time only so make sure you grab a bargain while you can!
In the last update, we talked about how we had completed the script for the game. Production has been going really well and it is nice to see the game coming alive, slowly but steadily.
The real test was putting all the assets that we've been generating over the past few weeks and months of development. Saf has been working hard on background art and character animations, Assad and Ryan have been busy recording and composing music and designing the sound. Ben had planned out the main dialogue trees and written a huge script and game document that we are all currently working from.
Saf has been one of the busiest members of the team with all of these background pieces to finalise and pass on to Ben. All of these needed to be finished in order for the game play programming to begin. Luckily, she is a beast so she finished this weeks ago and is now finalising character art and animation!
At this stage, we had become a lot more comfortable with the lore and the overall story that we want to tell. A few weeks ago, most of the asset programming for key scenes were completed and you can see the joy on Ben and Assad's faces below:
It was also really good to have Jamie Wood back in the studio and laying down some dialogue that will end up going in the game. Getting started with some post-production work is also really exciting and the light at the end of the tunnel is now kind of visible.
Here's a quick snap from our first official game voice audio recording session:
The goal for the next few weeks (after we have a short break for the holidays), is putting together a gameplay trailer for the imminent Greenlight campaign. We are ready to go with the voice acting recording so I imagine this won't be too far in the future.
Anyway...back to the grind! We'll be back with another update, shortly!
We hope you enjoy the Winter break!

Join The Tale of Doris and the Dragon Official Group
This is pretty new. Not ever been admin of a Steam group before but there is always a first time for everything!
We created an Official group so that fans of Doris would be able to keep up with everything to do with the following 2 episodes of the series.
CLICK ON THE POST TO VIEW THE LINK:
http://steamcommunity.com/groups/dorisandthedragon
The Game hub is great but we will only be posting essential information specifically relating to Episode 1 (promotions, patch notes...etc). We still have 2 more games to make! If you want up to date information and regular updates on production of the following episodes in the series, the Official group is the place to be.
We have begun production on Episode 2 and we are happy to say that we are making speedy progress with this. It'll be out before you know it!
The thing is with adventure games, if we start posting any new scenes, characters...in fact, anything to do with the game, it instantly becomes a massive spoiler. We kind of want to avoid doing this on the Episode 1 game page announcements.
We'll do our best to reveal as much as we can without ruining it for you. Anything like that, we'll post within spoiler tags in the new group.
We're going to be posting a Greenlight campaign and trailer for Episode 2 very soon, so we really appreciate the support so far from the Steam community.
If you bought the game, we would welcome your feedback in the form of a review so you can share your experience with people who are thinking of buying The Tale of Doris and the Dragon Episode 1.
Here is another review that came out today from Entertainment Focus who gave Episode 1 a stunning 4/5 score:
