I’m absolutely thrilled (and a little in shock) to share that Doggy Don't Care 🐶 has been selected to receive a Games Production grant from Screen Australia!

Check out the official announcement and all the other great games selected!

I’m not alone in this anymore

I have been making Doggy Don’t Care alone for over a year (maybe even nearly two years now) and I am proud of what I have achieved so far. June 2024 marked a turning point when I quit part-time work to focus on Doggy Don't Care full-time with hopes but no confirmation of securing funding.

Thanks to Screen Australia I am not only financially supported but I'm no longer in this alone. Rotub Games now has a graphic designer and composer on board to elevate Doggy Don’t Care to a new professional standard.

I did an interview

By the way, I did an interview with whatsItLike.com.au about my journey to becoming an indie game developer and gave some insights into building Doggy Don’t Care. You can read it here if you’re interested.

Cheers,
Rotub

I'm so excited to announce Doggy Don't Care officially launches on September 24, 2026! Watch the brand new launch date trailer here. (PS: Wishlist so you don't miss the 10% launch discount) I started making Doggy Don't Care because I was anxious about getting a dog. Before I even had one, I was picturing chewed furniture, annoyed neighbours, chaos. So I turned that anxiety into a game.

Doggy Don't Care is primarily a solo dev project, and seeing over 15,000 of you want to play it means absolutely everything. Every wishlist genuinely helps a small game like this find its audience — so thank you! We're deep in development and things are looking very good. Excited to show more but for…
