Developer Quotes
- "That [Doge] was the cornerstone character for me. That was the character upon all the other characters were built. That came from me. Once you put doge in the game, how would people feel about the game? So we just did it and it was hilarious. We just couldn't stop laughing. We've never seen a game do this before. And from there, we really started to push the characters – and now it's the least ridiculous one. Unihorse was also there, but Doge really set the bar. It's more silly than a unicorn pooping rainbows."
- ―Matt Hall about Doge
