You are a private investigator searching for clues to find a missing person. So far they have led you to the abandoned Duke’s Donuts location she was last seen. What will the detective uncover in the long abandoned establishment?
Last year I released the original version of the game as a Gain jam concept and now I have finally decided to go forward in updating it and fleshing out the wider story as a whole.
Browser/phone friendly versions and downloadable versions will be available at the same time.
I am please to announce that planning on chapter 3 update production has started and I have gotten into contact with an artist in regards to re-designing Duke’s jump scare and game over model to retroactively updated.
In the next update there will be chapter selection too, big things planned for chapter 3 update and retroactive changes for chapters 1 & 2 are already being worked on. I have an artist hired and I got a voice actor hired too. Stay tuned, next update im shooting for October but could be sooner.
I really glad you liked it, I wanted to convey a kind of vague recollection approach to the flashback scenes in the game, like in real life when you remember unimportant events so fine details are forgotten in a sense.
For these scenes I used a crayon tool in photoshop and turned off any smoothing so it would look more like a quick pen doodle you would sketch up while killing time.
There will be more of these in the future of the game
I am pleased to announce that I have made the game easier to play on browser and less of a memory hog on PC downloads. I was able to do this by reducing file sizes within both builds so hopefully it should load faster on web browser. Along with faster web version loading the downloadable version due to the total game files resources memory space being reduced by almost 2 thirds the game should be more appealing to download thanks to the slimming down.
p.s. Writing work on chapter 3 is currently going on as well as art resources for the chapter 3 update due out later this year, I also have an artist hired to do a small amount of work in the game and I have also been writing script for Voice acting in the chapter 3 update, stay tuned!!!
also p.s. It’s my birthday today as I’m writing this
I have once again made some updates to the Chapter 2 version of Dukes Donuts.
Me being an absolute buffoon I had failed to realise that for the entirety of Dukes Donuts lifespan the Credits button on the main menu screen has not been functional the entire time the game has been available. This is the first item that has been patched and I am pleased to announce that the folks who have so far helped me on the game are finally going to be visible to the players and given the credit they deserve.
I am also aware that my older way of drawing character has become a major subject of criticism in my VN works and I have been trying to improve lately but I am please to announce that MoiNaushniki has lent their talent to the game and has redrawn the jump scare model of Duke and given him a more animatronic look inspired by FNAF.
Speaking of Jump scares, the jump scare animation has been updated so Duke has the appearance of lunging towards the player instead of just spawning into frame. me being a total dumb dumb I forgot to turn on animation settings for the jump scare event in the game, hopefully it now can give the player an actual jump scare as apposed to PNG with a loud noise.
Future plans for the game are going well at the moment. The Re-write of the Chapter 3 update is currently being discussed between myself and my co-writer and progress is being made. Art wise there will be assets redrawn in the future in my newer style of artwork and hopefully will take somewhat of a darker tone.
I hope you folks stick around for the future of the development of Dukes Donuts and be sure stay tuned for updates
