A little background In 2022, Lappi Soft was lucky enough to join the Polish acceleration program Digital Dragons, and thus obtain budget for the development of Wild Dose. Not being a 3D artist, I took advantage of this opportunity to work with two artists, Darya (part-time freelance) and Zuzanna (full-time junior), who joined me at the end of 2022, in order to have our own 3D models, our own identity. I like to think we succeeded in giving Wild Dose a more assertive artistic direction, and I personally loved that period when we were building this world. Unfortunately, I soon realized that my impromptu role as art director was preventing me from making progress on production, given that I was the only developer/game-designer/level-designer. At the beginning of 2023, I therefore decided to close the Polish branch of Lappi Soft by the end of the year, which meant parting company with Zuzanna (who finally left us in May 2023 for a new position). In June 2023, the Polish branch of Lappi Soft is mothballed before liquidation (the French “parent company” remains active). I decide it's time to go solo again for a full year to finalize all gameplay and narrative aspects of the game, before finalizing the artistic side (with Darya) using the remaining budget. In July 2023, Wild Dose was announced as one of the 4 finalists in the Game Cup, France's independent video game cup, with the chance for first and second place to win 20,000 and 7,000 euros respectively.
