Okay, this isn't a live-service game. It's a small, $15 regular 5v5 multiplayer game. The only DLC is a $5 'supporter pack' that gives every character one more skin and the soundtrack. It's exactly what people have been demanding because they HATE live-service games. And then gets punished as one!

I played Dosa Divas to 100% completion over my Easter weekend. It was longer than a modern film, but shorter than a bloated AAA game. I took breaks. I ate with my extended family. I had breathing room.

So far Dosa Divas has been a blast. I played for almost 5 hours so far and didn't want to stop. Definitely check out the game from @outerloopgames.bsky.social store.steampowered.com/app/2950710/...

@outerloopgames.bsky.social has done it again! I am in LOVE with Dosa Divas! Some very witty digs that will make RPG fans just crack up laughing! Love the combat and the cooking! Cant' wait to continue this playthrough! #BlackSkyGamers #BlackJoy youtu.be/E0YPH6EeUtw

Main antagonist Lina and her mech has some of the hardest attacks to block in Dosa Divas. #indiegame #dosadivas #gamedev #animator #videogamesirl

“The beating heart of Dosa Divas is undoubtedly its family-based narrative. Remembering crucial childhood memories thanks to special dishes, these intimate moments abound in an otherwise bombastic and fast-moving tale”

This week's Crewcast is full of new games like PRAGMATA, REPLACED, Samson, and Subversive Memories - PLUS we sit down with Outerloop Games' @ekanaut.bsky.social to discuss their latest game Dosa Divas. youtu.be/fQWQarFR2D8

A quick dismount animation to make going into to battles snappy in DOSA DIVAS #indiegame #dosadivas #gamedev #animator #videogamesirl

Dosa Divas has a couple rough edges but the core gameplay works well and I loved the story it told about the complexities of family relationships and reconciliation. If anything the biggest flaw is it made me want more. www.cbc.ca/news/enterta...

Food represents culture, traditions, and history. You can trace immigration around the world on how certain foods has changed and been adapted by generations of settlers. Food can also be commodified, stripped of it's context and credit to appeal to a mass populace. Anyways, dosas are delicious.

dosa divas is by the developers of thirsty suitors! it has a mecha in it and she's great. this bundle is the "Defeat Despots With Friends" bundle, but to me, it is the "food gets you closer to your friends and also your culture" bundle 🥘 store.steampowered.com/bundle/72868...

On today’s stream, we’re joined by Dosa Divas director @ekanaut.bsky.social to discuss the game’s launch, the commodification of food and culture, and the challenges of releasing an indie game in these turbulent times. We go live at 4 PM ET twitch.tv/aftermathdot...

One of the earliest animations in DOSA DIVAS. Hard to figure out how to replicate IRL tho 😁 #indiegame #dosadivas #gamedev #videogamesirl #animator

Dosa Divas finely blends a heartfelt family narrative while tackling capitalism head-on. Set to the backdrop of a culturally rich cooking experience, its tight, active turn-based combat neatly ties together a tasty dish. My review.

Dosa Divas is an active, turn-based adventure where you cook with love and fight against an evil empire. As you should. Our Review: pixelbytegaming.com/dosa-divas-r...

I dig what @ekanaut.bsky.social and the @outerloopgames.bsky.social team is cooking and getting to understand who the cooks in the kitchen for this game are was a treat! youtu.be/r09h6H1jLlg?...

We discuss Dosa Divas on the podcast (out Friday) this week and have an interview with @ekanaut.bsky.social about it's development, but TL:DR is it's a really fun & engaging game with solid turn based combat, charming art & animation, and funny, humble story. Certainly Outer Loop's best game yet.

Oh yeah, didn't say anything about Dosa Divas launching! It is, unsurprisingly, rather good. At least for the few hours I've found time to play it for. The Thirsty Suitors team doing another game with cooking and turn-based JRPG combat, but this time an anti-corporate road trip with a magical mech.

When you work with someone as sharp and as talented as Anne-Marie it’s magical. Her work adds so much impact to every animation, interaction, menu, character moment, and so much charm to the whole experience. We’re lucky to have her on the team!

Starting now! Come hang out

Starting in 5 min

We're going live in 15 minutes to chat Dosa Divas and game dev with the team. Going to show off early stuff, dev tools, lots of art www.youtube.com/live/PuE8qZ1...

Dosa Divas is delightful and you should absolutely play it! Food truck mechs, delicious food, and a whole lot of heart make this RPG something special! 🎉💙

Opened up some Pokemon cards and now I'm going live on YouTube to dig into Dosa Divas! youtube.com/live/aLFOp4M...

"Like a good family dinner, you can tell that Dosa Divas was made with love. Every facet of the game feels like an ingredient specifically picked for maximum flavour, and the outcome is a title that is every bit as unique as it is fascinating." www.well-played.com.au/dosa-divas-r...

games that ask you to play as a mother, to parent as a mother, that complicates and interrogates the experience of being a mother. i mean the material reason those games don't exist is because women do not often make it that high up in the hierarchy of game dev compared to men.

Dosa Divas' narrative is especially excellent. It simultaneously explores anti-generative AI messaging & the many ways that corporate malfeasance can wreak havoc upon a community, all with a powerful, nuanced & empathetic family drama at its core. The game's final stretch got me real teary-eyed.

Been playing DOSA DIVAS my favorite thing about it is how it navigates sexuality and politics without collapsing into self-consciousness. most “horny” games tend to frame desire through a kind of performative moral correctness, or the reactionary, where it is crude and embarrassing.

DOSA DIVAS threads the horny needle! it’s playful and suggestive and there’s a wit to how it handles its flirtation that makes the material feel earned and sly. It understands that implication is more compelling than insistence!

Dosa Divas Review - a great turn-based RPG with a focus on cooking. An emotional story about personal growth, family and the power to use food to bring communities together. @outerloopgames.bsky.social @popagenda.co #dosadivasreview #dosadivas #indiegame
