That's because I consider the Flight to the Festival DLC to really be the main game in Flock of Dogs. It is the co-op, roguelike experience I've been working for 7 years. The Minigame Park and the (all new) beginning area are still free. I did this whole Steam thing in a weird way, I know. Also, the game is still in Early Access, so the DLC is still basically also Early Access.
What's new/mostly new/mostly finished are:
- New biomes
- New dog tricks
- New tool upgrades
- New bosses
- New clouds
- New beginning area/tutorial (I don't like calling it a "tutorial")
- New difficulty levels
- New poems
It Comes With 1 Friend Slot
Purchase of the Flight to the Festival DLC includes 1 Friend Slot. With it, you can have 1 friend join you at any time. They just need to download the free base game. For additional Friend Slots, my plan had been to create another DLC called "Friend Slot" and then you could buy up to 6 copies of it, but Valve said that's not feasible. So I guess I'd have to create 6 DLCs titled Friend Slot 1, 2, 3...6. Or setup in-app purchases? Idk. On the to do list.
Situation Report (Er..."Flight Status?")
It's kinda embarrassing that it's taking me so long to get here, and I'm still not done, but...oh well. I have also just about finished a launch trailer, but I'm not launching, so you don't get to see it now. Heheh. I have spent a lot of time fixing bugs and working on the netcode, so, as always, if you find any bugs or have any feedback, please let me know.

P.S. Just want to say I'm very happy with the new clouds. I'm happy about the other things too, but I just didn't think the background clouds would add that much, but boy oh boy, I love 'em.
