2025-07-14
Blender Studio's 'Dogwalk,' a free-to-play game, has taken Steam by storm, accumulating over 300 overwhelmingly positive reviews within two days of its release. This charming game features a delightful winter landscape and simple gameplay. Players take on the role of a cute, fluffy dog, leading a child through snowy forests and frozen ponds to gather materials for a snowman. Developed entirely using the open-source Blender and Godot game engine, 'Dogwalk' showcases the power of open-source tools and lowers the barrier to entry for game development. Despite its short playtime (around 20 minutes), its relaxing atmosphere and free-to-play nature have made it a surprising hit on Steam.
