1) Dog Dynamics Update
Major changes
We've greatly changed the way sponsorships are offered to you and the rewards you'll get from them. Gone is the array of unceremonious, confusing checkboxes!
- Sponsorship offers
- Any sponsor upgrades you had in an existing save will be removed in this update, but hang tight...
- Sponsors may now approach you every 5 to 10 days to offer you a specific sponsorship upgrade according to the cumulative Fame level of your team.
- Sponsorships come in 3 types: Standard, Major, and Exclusive. You have 3 slots for sponsorships, and the types take 1, 2, or 3 slots, respectively.
- More fame will get you better upgrades as a lesser sponsorship type (fewer slots required).
http://www.dogsledsaga.com/news/assets/sponsor-manage_x2.gif
- Sponsor upgrades
- Effects:
- Foodbag upgrade slot count reduced from 6 / 7 / 8 / 10 / 12 to 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10 slots by level of upgrade.
- Sled upgrade now reduces sled friction by 1 Snow Quality level per level of upgrade. Friction influence on acceleration/deceleration has been tweaked.
- Rope upgrade now reduces the count of recent rope snags by 1 per level of upgrade, effectively delaying tangles by a snag.
- Funding upgrade now reduces total monthly expenses by 5 / 10 / 15 / 20 % by level of upgrade.
- Visuals:
- Unique sled body per Sled Upgrade level
- Company logos for sledpack according to Funding Upgrade
http://www.dogsledsaga.com/news/assets/sled-variety_x4.gif
Various sled upgrades, funding logos, and sledpack colors!
- Effects:
- Fame
- Fame no longer compounds based on existing fame level prior to a race
- Fame level thresholds have been lowered
- Some fame is granted to all dogs in a 1st place finish
- Color customization
- Dog harness color, which was previously randomized at hire, is now customizable.
- Sledpack color is also customizable
http://i.giphy.com/3osxYchKZjwfdQKZ4A.gif
- UI updates
- Revised notification system - notification instances (e.g. "Race Today" popup in the Kennel Screen) will not be repeated in a single play session
- Fame level and breed added to dog cards
- Other small tweaks
- Technical: New bundled Java runtime
- The game will no longer prefer your installed JRE over the bundled one
- Executable files changed on all platforms
- Windows 64 bit users will now use a 64 bit JRE
- Let us know if these changes affect your ability to play the game!
Have fun trying to score the best sponsorship configuration for your team!

Major changes
This update is all about changing the way money works in Dog Sled Saga, and making it so mushers must be more selective with the dogs on their team.
Operating cost
- In addition to league dues, the Dog & Driver Association now charges a registration fee per dog on your team. You might need to make some cuts… The game will walk you through adapting to these changes.
http://i.giphy.com/26FPAEHtLrZH3FeXS.gif
- If you take dogs off your team, you can rehire them in the future. Some of their progress will be lost, though.
- Also, you’ll need to build expansions on your kennel if you need more slots for dogs! A big one-time cost.
Regimen system
- Choose whether each dog will or won’t do the day’s task with you or get rest while idle in the kennel
http://i.giphy.com/26FPpUy2Xt8ioPH4Q.gif
Better error handling
- We’re happy that Dog Sled Saga’s Early Access experience has been smooth for many of you, but game development gets inevitably messy sometimes - our game has been known to crash here and there with some of our builds!
Now, instead of abruptly closing, you should get an error popup, and a crash report will automatically be sent to Dan, the programmer. This should take a few steps out of the troubleshooting process we’ve used up to this point.
Difficulty balance
- Fault chance has been altered/reduced for the various Happiness levels
- Skill chance has also been altered/reduced
- Skill level can no longer go beneath your skill cap minus one
- Hunger rate has been reduced for races with 4 and 5 dogs
- Fixed aptitudes showing before Specialty Lvl 1 is reached for dogs
- Costs adjusted to accommodate new expenses
- Overall difficulty curve reduction
Miscellaneous UI changes
- Dog delta popups occur at the beginning of the next day without blocking actions
- Dog delta popups for Skill Cap Up and Fatigue Capacity Up
- Major kennel screen overhaul!
- Tons more
We hope you like the new changes, and the next big update should be around the corner!

The road to Dog Sled Saga 1.0!
This is the first of several upcoming updates themed around major changes to the game. We've mapped out the rest of the game's development looking towards exiting Early Access. We'd love your feedback as we go! Keep your eyes open for the rest of the final stretch.
Major changes
Dog dynamics overhaul
We've made some changes to the ups and downs that your dogs will experience over the course of their career. Many stats have been altered to make managing your team more challenging and interesting.
Fatigue
- Dogs gain fatigue with each speed drop during a race
- Light fatigue wears off quickly with rest
- Deep fatigue gained if all light fatigue slots filled
- Deep fatigue lingers longer and affects dogs' happiness
- Fatigue capacity increases with perfect catches
http://dogsledsaga.com/dog-dynamics-update/img/fatigue.gif
Happiness
- Stepwise only - no longer a sliding scale
- Neutral happiness is "good," with upward and downward modifiers
- Recent Favorite Thing gives happiness up
- Different amounts of deep fatigue give happiness down
- No more happiness cap mechanic
Skill
- Skill warm-up goes up and down rapidly
- Gives increased chance of Skill triggering during races
- Warm up by training on off-days leading up to races
- Training while at max warm-up will increase skill cap
- Resting reduces warmed-up status
http://dogsledsaga.com/dog-dynamics-update/img/skill-bar.gif
Off-day tasks
Instead of only waiting for the next race, you now must choose what to do with your dogs on off-days.
http://dogsledsaga.com/dog-dynamics-update/img/day-task-image-layout.png
Currently, you may train or give care to as many of your dogs as you'd like per day. In a future update, you will be more limited, but you will be able to hire additional employees to help you...
Perfect catch changes
Perfectly timed catches are even more valuable now! Effects:
- Increased skill trigger chance in race
- Brief speed boost
- Progress towards increasing fatigue capacity
- Naturally makes your food supply go further
http://dogsledsaga.com/dog-dynamics-update/img/perfect-catch.gif
New dog breed - Samoyed
Another long-awaited sled-pulling dog added to the roster! Even fluffier than our Malamute, but with a smaller frame beneath the fur. Hire one for your team!
http://dogsledsaga.com/dog-dynamics-update/img/portrait-frame-samoyed_x3.png
Thank you!
We can't say enough thanks to our players for checking out Dog Sled Saga. Your support and feedback are what pull us along the trail towards release. The game will be progressing fast now. Many elements that had not yet met our hopes for the games quality are coming together great in our eyes, and we hope it's a more fun, compelling game for you, too. Thanks for sticking with us!

If you've been unable to start the game
With the help of a very patient Dog Sled Saga player, I got a new lead on crash-on-start issues that some users have been experiencing. If you haven't been able to run the game, try this:
- Right click Dog Sled Saga in your Steam Library and choose "Properties"
- In the "General" tab, click "Set Launch Options"
- Type "-w" (for windowed) or "-b" (for borderless windowed fullscreen) and hit ok
- Close the window and try running the game
Unfortunately, borderless windowed fullscreen doesn't behave correctly on Mac. Please let me know if this fixes or fails to fix any issues you've been experiencing!
Changes
- Preliminary revision of Pre Race Screen
- Trees wiggle when hit with food
- Popup for end of race approaching
- Changed fullscreen sequence at launch
Version 1.7.0
Mar 15, 2015
Small but important update - the "Main class not found" error that some users were getting when launching the game should be fixed.
The issue was that we recently had to remove JRE6 compatibility from Dog Sled Saga, but I forgot to tell our executable. The game comes with a bundled JRE which will be used as a fallback if you don't have a compatible JRE installed on your system. The executable will no longer erroneously see JRE6 as a satisfactory JRE.
View on Steam
- Min JRE version set to 1.7.0 in Windows executable.
- Red outline rope animation on snag and tangle
- Drag arrows outline flash on drag command

Leading up to PAX, we put a lot of polish into parts of the game and made it clearer for new players.

Changes:
- Skill and fault starburst animation
- New story screens at career start
- Improved tutorial
- Updated Dog & Driver Association Headquarters scene
- More screen transitions

Noticed how the Good Catch skill totally ruins dog positions? Well, it doesn't anymore! We also put in some fancy screens that were designed but didn't make the initial cut for Early Access.
Enjoy this small content update! More to come very soon as we prepare the game for a certain showfloor early next month...
PS - crash on launch issues seem to have died down. It's very important to us that you let us know (on our Steam forums, or wherever) if you're still experiencing any, or if you did previously but no longer!
