About the Game
Flock of Dogs is a quirky, top-down, co-op roguelike. Fly through the sky with your dogs, friends, and a floating whale. Everyone is headed to the Flying Festival at the end of the Air River. Battle monsters and help critters make it to the big party.
Procedurally generated, hand-drawn world
Feed, water, and level up your dogs
Pilot a flying whale that acts as your mobile battle station
Descend into caves to fight boss battles against massive Cave Beasts
Encounter critters and folks that need your help on the journey
Take a break with minigames at the dog park!
At its heart, Flock of Dogs is about being a weird world with friends. You can play locally and/or online. You can share a keyboard with one other friend. The progression in the game is focused on the dogs and the whale, so players can join or drop at any time and won't be left behind.
Maybe the best feature is the Friend Slot...
A Friend Slot allows one of your online friends to join you for free! Anyone can download the "Flock of Dogs - Friend's Pass" and then join the game of someone who purchased Flock of Dogs.
One Friend Slot comes with purchase
Invite any friend (and each time, it can be a different friend)
Friend Slots stack, so if two people own the game and are playing together, 2 more friends can join them using the Friend's Pass to make a team of 4.
Flock of Dogs is my little dream world. The music was created by my friends and family. Wherever and with whomever you play, I hope it's a magical flight.

Official update history
On the site: Build 17302583
Up to date
Was busy this week with a little clay sculpting commission, but hey, it's nice to make a little money. If you got all your friends to buy Flock of Dogs, maybe I'd have gotten more work done this week :)
Anyway, hope you had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
- Fixed the submission feedback form losing focus, if you're playing with a controller
- Fixed playing with multiple controllers on the Steam Deck
Please submit logs or message me whenever you have map desyncs! (Or any bugs at all, ofc) One of the things I didn't realize when I decided to add online multiplayer when making this game was how hard it is to recreate network bugs, even if you know they exist.

Welp, I love my little game, but alas, the world does not. So Flop of Dogs it is. Can't say I didn't see it coming, but it doesn't feel great. I don't know how much more time I can justify working on Flock of Dogs, but I'll be making at least some efforts up until February's Co-Op Fest on Steam. Fixed some pretty serious bugs this week and was able to add in a fun "Flight Report Card", as I call it. Your "Flight" now gets a rank. I wonder if anyone will ever get the top rank...
Anyway, here's a list of stuff I did.
- Added "Flight Report" score card, so each run now gets a score, i don't track your high scores yet tho
- Ramed 'Carnivore' to 'Monstervore', bc it's more funner
- Fixed several issues with final boss!
- Put sundial and ffwd button at festival to make it clearer how to fast forward time
- Fixed dogs leveling up every time they eat a bone after getting 1 Big Bone
- Fixed ui issue on treehouse ladder
- Fixed visual issue with nighttime emotes
- Fixed issue with collecting coins during level transitions
- Tweaked generatoin amounts of flowers, hitchhikers, puppies
- Added "dirty whale" warning to help people understand why they move slow on whale
- Increased bosses' hps
- Fixed faucet-pups interaction
- Fixed mop-pup interaction
- Fixed mop-water bowl interaction
- Fixed duplicating returning small flowers to pool in final stage
- Fixed typos "Deliverty" and "Busness"
- Fixed day counter regression
- Fixed network issue with disbanding group
- Fixed network loading issue with photonnetworktime wrappinrg weirdly
- Fixed network bug with "Cancel Flight" aka "Return to Treehouse"
Note: many other known issues, but if you have any kind of desync or get errors, please press F9 and submit feedback. If you crash, it's more effort, but you can access your previous log through the menus and send that to me, but...just press F9 and tell me what you were last doing :)
Yours truly,
Max

This update really only fixes the inability to actually fight the final boss, which I screwed up. More fixes coming someday maybe.

Fixed collision on the stones at the Fork and getting on/off the ladder from dogback at the treehouse. Fixed the loading screen overlay staying on after loading into game failures or timeouts. Some other reported issues about the black screen or transitioning out of bounds I couldn't reproduce yet, so those aren't fixed.

Version 0.4.137
Sep 23, 2023
Version 0.4.137 (really should be perfectly compatible with ver 136)
I didn't update the trader to sell the new (C)etacean (AT)tachments like the turbine, pencils, vacuum, faucet.
Also fixed an issue with the "Retreat to Fork" option where everyone but the host would get dropped.
Fixed a text wrapping issue.
Defined a previously undefined color palette.

Many fixes. Network stuff, UI stuff, gameplay, etc. Added a controls menu and an in-game platform I call the "input switcheroo" to view controls and rebind controls, if you're using a keyboard. You can now start straight away at the Minigame Park, the Fork, or the Treehouse, which is cool.
The big news is that you can now also go beyond the gate, into the Air River, and play a demo of the first two biomes.
And the Flight to the Festival DLC page is now up on Steam.
-Max
P.S. Alright, so of course, many things are unfinished, so I won’t even bother listing those. I plan to release an official FoD Development Sky Map (aka road map) in my next update.
I will mention some significant known issues though:
Some of the fixes in the past 7 weeks:
Alright, listen, these are only some of the commits going back to Jan 11. There’s about 3 more weeks to go through and I’m not sure this is interesting to anybody. If you want to hear about more things that I fixed/messed up and then fixed, ask and I will tell ya.
I never intended to go this long between updates. Sorry. This was a significant one, because it involved updating Photon and Rewired, as well as letting players spawn directly at the minigames or at the Fork, which meant letting them spawn without the whale, which meant tons of things that just assumed the whale was there were no longer valid. Then also letting players past the gate and through two levels also meant a lot more work.
If this proves pretty stable though, fundamentally, everything added should be fairly incremental. I make no promises about the timing of the next update, however.

I will mention some significant known issues though:
- If you venture beyond the gate, sometimes, after completing the two demo stages, some clients will freeze at a black screen. Sometimes, everyone freeze. Sometimes, the game recovers if one person force quits the game.
- If a dog is flying back to the whale, it can go through walls and a player that joins might spawn on that dog and thus be out of bounds. You can drop out from your PopUp menu.
- Coins are not synced for joining players
- When the whale is landing, other players’ position might flicker a bit
- Sometimes, small tetris pieces are unbreakable/only appear for some clients
- Wingless dogs don’t take off when reaching an island border
- Kites destroy frame rate
- Moons spawn on top of each other
- Mop lady does nothing
- Long neck man does very little, it’s a semi secret, but there’s hardly anyway for you to figure it out atm
- Lawn mower is out of control
- (Throwing items is now done with mouse click or right trigger, not exactly an ‘issue’)
- And many more!
Some of the fixes in the past 7 weeks:
- Showing cursor when game menu opened when 0 players and hiding cursor when
- SpigQueen won't spawn key if gate is open
- Fixed Build-A-Pup being used by mouseless keyboard player glyphs
- Fixed BAP allowing you to make see-through dog
- Fixed BAP t9 clickableness
- Fixed searching for room name T9 input
- Adjusted menu options fill speed

- Added controls display pressure plate in-game (with keyboard rebinding access)
- Added controls display in menu
- Fixed drifting gamepad input
- Fixed issues with treehouse bedroom
- Improved latency compensation for dogs, monsters, items
- Fixed a sandstorm issue
- You can now kick players out of your room
- Fixed unbreakable giant tetris blocks (but still tiny ones sometimes spawn)
- A few dog behaviors added, like follow the leader, meander, sniff & poop
- Networked the Flower Powers menu, but most Flower Powers not yet implemented
- Fixed some network race conditions in level transitions
- Regression fixed with dogs circling
- Regression fixed with Flower Cocoons
- Fixed saving/loading preferred/customized dogs
- Regression fixed for climbing ladders

- Fixed visuals for UI during night
- Fixed regression with the summoning pedestal and the rocks not being activateable sometimes
- Thorny vines on islands no longer affect flying dogs
- Improved UI flow for players who move with arrows
- Fixed whale summoning chess pieces and not just flock

- Fixed Sternhalma (aka Chinese Checkers) array error

Version 0.3.61
Dec 22, 2022
Merry Christmas!
Santa's brought me only bugs, which I love, because I eat them alive. Also, you can now consistently, successfully kick people out of your game. The menus are prepped for future Friend Slotting. I've done away with the thorny brambles blocking the air layer. This always seemed weird to me, but I wanted some method of trapping the dogs in the treehouse area until they meet the whale. So I've reworked the giant tetris blocks a bit so they're damageable even by slow whale rammings.
You can access emotes with 1 or with the DPad now. They're somewhat limited, but lemme know if there's some emotion you just must convey.
Man, UI tweaking is so fiddly and takes so long. I'll just mention though that it's so nice that I no longer really clench up in fear that my game will break when I'm playing online with a friend and we're transitioning from are to area. So that's some progress.
Keep submitting feedback from the in-game form and considering joining the Discord to really tell me about all your troubles.

Build Version 0.3.51
So are you ready to here about the new feature that I'm most excited about in Flock of Dogs? Hmm?
Ok. Here goes...
There's a new, in-game form to submit feedback to me!
Hot dog! You can press F9 and create a bug report/feedback message at any time. So yeah, do that.
I'm now allowing players on the beta branch to fly beyond the gate. If you're unsatisfied with the amount of bugs in the current experience, I apologize. I can provide many, many, many more on the beta branch when you fly beyond the gate ahahaha. Seriously though, let me know if you (and your friend(s)) would like a beta key and promise to give me feedback. Join the Discord.

Ok, so. Fixed big issue withi joining via entering a room name! And some other big issues, like trying to put on a hat freezing your character. Anyway, there's plenty more bugs where those came from :)
This is what Early Access is all about woo hoo. If you have you more bugs to report or would like to participate in play testing, join the Discord.
It's crazy to me that there's people finally playing my game. It messed up some of my debugging routines that auto-joined rooms, because I never thought to check for more than 1 room existing! Anyway, I've been working long hours, but I'm like more into it than ever, which is sorta surprising, sorta not. I figured I'd be motivated by having actual players.
I'm hoping that after another week of really hammering on network code bugs, I will be able to pour my full attention to the Flight to the Festival.
