It has been exciting to watch the campaign as it continues to gain support. On top of running the campaign, we here at Gal Pal Games have been pushing forward with game development to make sure we keep things on schedule!
We've started roughing out the layout
Look at all the Corporate Memphis Goodness
We've been playtesting Our last play test had players forming a business that created both taxidermy rats and cute little outfits for them to wear.
The Values and executive titles of the company
The company ended up with the values:
Don't Torture Puppies
Resonsibly reuse fabric
Honor the sacrifice of the lab rats
Local jobs for local Canadians
It was a joy to watch players justify that they weren't violating their core values by pointing out that technically dogs weren't puppies, argue vehemently over what it meant to "honour a sacrifice", and exclude a lot of people from their definition of a "local Canadian".
Developing a dedicated consent and safety tool Don't Torture Puppies is a unique game in that a subject that is often a hard line for players (torturing animals-- specifically cute puppies) is at the core of the main mechanics. In her past game, Drink My Sweat, Dora developed a safety tool for players to calibrate not just the subject of what is happening, but also the level of detail to which it is described. She is working on developing this tool to specifically fit Don't Torture Puppies.
