Doloc Town

First Doloc Town Developer AMA - Join To Get Doloc Town OST!

Believe it or not, it's been 6 months since Doloc Town initially enters Early Access!

Half a year ago, when we introduced our official subreddit, we briefly teased the plan for future AMA. We're aware that with no new content to update, the community has been a bit radio silent over the past month or so. To make up for it, the team has prepared some Doloc Town Original Soundtrack codes (many new players still haven't grabbed theirs!) for an AMA event and hope as the update is out, players will be willing to join in to chat with us :)

We'd also like to take this opportunity to welcome more players into our official subreddit. So the Steam OST codes will be distributed to EVERYONE who left a comment in our AMA Subreddit Thread!

To qualify for the giveaway, simply JOIN our subreddit community first and leave a comment in the official AMA thread. If you don't have a question yet, feel free to just come and say hi to us!

Hat Creation Event - Get Your Hat Concept Into The Game!

As we introduce some new hats in this update, the team thought it’d be wonderful to host a hat creation event!

We want to gather community ideas for future hat designs - the team will review all eligible submissions, and you might just see your hat concept come to life in the game down the line! 🧢

Join our Discord server and check out #event-announcement to find out more!
