Hey Heroes! Here to let you know we have a new patch up, that references some outlier enemies that are too strong, nerfing them a little bit. Additionally, unfolding cards upon an enemy fold is not less powerful, as this was sometimes causing runs to be too RNG based. We also added a Restart button to the pause menu, if your run is going dicey, just use this button to restart the game with the same Hero and Trinkets selected. - Devourer Total27 -> 21 - water splash, Toxic Waste, Fireball balance - Fallen king balance If you face a bug that you like to report, please use our Steam Discussion Forums or join our Discord: https://discord.gg/HUyNpF9Zgg --- Thank you for your continued attention to Dice & Fold.

Hey Heroes! With the nemesis update, seems like we overcorrected things based on data from players who play the game way too much. We had a lot of feedback about extreme mode being impossible to beat, with this update, the Elite monsters difficulty curve is mostly returned to how it was (just a little bit harder) We hope you give it another try, let us know what you think. Cheers! Sorry about the overcorrection!

[ 2024-10-11 13:03:58 CET ] [ Original post ]

Hey Heroes! We are very happy to read your comments and reviews, while we try to better the game. Today I'm happy to share all the details for our 3rd free content update: Nemesis update which adds 10 new heroes to the game and full patch notes. Let's get into it!

10 New Heroes & Fallen King

The bosses you previously faced in the game became playable heroes! You can try to beat the Fallen King boss with 10 brand-new playable heroes.

The heroes beat the evil and now nemesis joined the side of good. This angered Fallen King, he will do everything in his power to stop you! When you enter the dungeon with a Nemesis hero, you will face Fallen King 100% of the time.
Fallen King is hard to beat, which requires you to use colored dice on its slots. It doesn't stop there, he also unfolds random bosses that you need to beat.

New Soul Items & Trinkets

With Nemesis update we added a bunch of new Items and trinkets, mostly focusing on the Soul mechanic of the game, which most nemesis heroes (and Warlock) use.
Pro Tip: Pinwheel has some nice combo potential ;)

Economy Balancing

A few scaling economy items, that related to Gold and Silver gain, that sometimes scaled too hard and created inflation in the game. To combat this and create a better experience, we nerfed the scaling economy items and made non-scaling ones more affordable.

Extreme & Endless Mode Updates

Previously we changed the extreme mode to give at least 2 trinket slots to a hero. This made few heroes near impossible to beat on extreme difficulty. We decided to revert this change and give all heroes 3 trinket slots in Extreme difficulty. Elite heroes in Endless Mode was scaling too slowly, compared to scaling of the items offered in the shops, this was making things too easy. Now Endless mode enemies difficulty to fold and attack damage scales on a faster curve. This should result in a more challenging gameplay for the endless mode.

New Click to Drop QoL Feature

Now, instead of dragging certain dice, you can click on the Exact slots or Total slots, to make the game automatically drag dice onto slots.
This is a beta feature and only works on Exact, Total, Heal, Shield and Attack slots.

Bug Fixes

We had various bug reports that we fixed in this update, not all but here is a list of most important fixes;

• Fix Bard's skill being able to silence bosses
• Update item effect for Orb of Overkill
• Spawn all gold coins at once if the player has more than 20 coins
• Fix item cards not being able to be purchased via click in the shop stage
• Fix interaction between undo button & Butcher's custom mechanics
• Fix dice being able to be placed on dice slots of folded cards
• Do not offer Pact of Sacrifice in the shop if Love in a Bottle trinket is used
• Fix Jack & Gambler's skills not getting unlocked on undo
• Add scrollable unlocked trinkets list to victory screen
• Fix the same item being granted too many times by companion & hero skills
• Fix interaction between Weeping Stone & Jack
• Revise "Stage End" & "Stage Start" items and their interactions with trinkets
• Save & load lock states for hero & companion skill slots
• Click to drop feature for dice

If you face any bugs, feel free to drop it in Steam Community forums or on our Discord. We will make sure to track this bug and let you know when we deploy a fix for it. ---

Hey Heroes! As we gear toward the free Nemesis Update which will add 10 new heroes to play to Dice & fold; A new funky memory-game roguelike from our publisher Rogue Duck Interactive is set to release on Q4 2024. Which has a free demo, that you can try now! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3179860/Pairs__Perils/ Pairs & Perils is a memory-game roguelike and dungeon crawler. Match cards to attack enemies, avoid traps, shop for relics and consumables. Sharpen your mind as you journey through the dungeon's depths in search of The Dealer.
Memorize the cards on the table. Pair heroes with their corresponding weapons to attack enemies and avoid traps at all costs. Traps deal damage and skip your turn. Enemies have their own attack counters that decrease with each passing turn, bringing them closer to attacking.

After every battle you visit the Merchant's Goods, where you are able to purchase new relics and consumable cards. Relics are cards with passive effects which trigger when certain conditions are met and consumables can be used to aid you in battle. Try different builds and see what works for you!
Enemies may have special abilities that can be used against you, ranging from stealing gold to spawning a bunch of skeleton cards on the table. Or, you know, destroying the relic that took you so long to acquire. Ugh, I hate slimes.

Hey Heroes! We are sending out a new small patch that fixes some more of the known bugs tracked in our bug-tracking system. We mainly aim to reference the "negative dice bug in endless mode" bug in this patch. Let us know in Discord and here if you face any game-breaking bugs! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1eXvm6W3L-O3pnfoh2qt-kzwiqrutRlOvZhyewQjQan0/edit?gid=2077548819#gid=2077548819 https://store.steampowered.com/app/2693930/Dice__Fold/

[ 2024-08-26 11:21:27 CET ] [ Original post ]

Hey Heroes! Back with a small patch, where we further balanced the Endless mode depending on the community feedback. By their per stage scalable nature, some Items were disabled for Endless mode, and we balanced up the difficulty curve of the Endless mode runs. Now it should feel more fair and enjoyable. Addition to shiny items, here is some items we have disabled;

• Dragon's Horn
• Lost Coupon
• Gatekeeper's Obol
• Dice of Need
• Duelist's Cloak
• Heart In A Jar
• Luckstone
• Earrings of Fate
• Gold Chest
• Cloud Amethyst
• Tainted Ruby
• Nomad's Flintstone
• Bloodbloom
• Lumbar Vertebrae
• Elixir Of Hope
• Wise Voyager's Hat

These are not the whole list, but you get the point, the items that are not unique, that can scale faster than the run's curve is not available in the shop for Endless Mode only.

HP, Shield and Gold Cap Changes;

There was a cap of 149 in the game for these values, we wanted to make it feel intuitive, make all of them capped at 99.

Trinket Slot Changes;

We made some changes to how slots gets unlocked. Because giving 3 slots to a no-slot hero is an instant win; - hard mode, at least 1 slot unlocks for any hero - extreme mode, at least 2 slots unlocks for any hero (it was 3 exact) - endless mode, at least 1 slot unlocks for any hero (it was 1 exact) eg: if the hero you are playing in the extreme already has 3 slots, it will have 3 slots, if it has no slots, it will have 2 in extreme mode.

Bug Fixes;

• Update item effect for Sleeping Bag
• fix coin drop lag (no more fps drops while coins dropping)
• Update custom mechanics for Jinn
• Do not offer Anvil in the shop while playing with a Soul Hero
• Fix interaction between Obsidian Plate & Stone Heart
• Update item effect for Orb of Overkill
• Update item effect for Chisel
• Save & load dice probability list
• Fix Triple Dagger not folding Ghoul
• Update Endless Mode enemy scaling
• Limit max reroll cost to 19
• Fix interaction between damage reducing items & Forlorn items
• Fix Briar Sword not folding Raven
• Update item effect for Savior's Contract
• Fix some japanese item descriptions

Thank you for being patient while we fix these issues. If you face any bugs, feel free to drop it in Steam Community forums or on our Discord. We will make sure to track this bug and let you know when we deploy a fix for it.
It's a long list of fixes and you can track the bugs that we already solved or currently working on solving in this link https://store.steampowered.com/app/2693930/Dice__Fold/

Hey Heroes! Dice & Fold has been the biggest hit of our studio by far with over 40,000 copies sold in less than 2 months. As promised, I'm happy to share the new free content update we promised: Endless Mode. In this update, even though we didn't plan at the start, we also added a new Hero called Warlock.

Endless Mode

This update features a new gameplay mode, where your Hero will keep going deeper into the dungeon after fighting the boss. Every boss fold will increase the level of elite-ness of the monsters you face. Making long-term beneficial item combos are very important if you want to stay alive in this mode.
Endless Mode will be unlocked for a Hero, if you complete it in at least in Easy Mode. And it also features a Steam Achievement, which you can get it by completing the 50th stage with every hero.

New Hero: Warlock

We wanted to make sure to add at least a new hero to play in this free content update. Warlock as a concept fits perfectly with Dice & Fold, and this hero also foreshadows the new mechanic we will use for our future Nemesis Update: Soul. Soul is a type of hero stat that you acquire by folding enemies. You gain a new Soul by folding a monster card. Soul Mechanic also adds a new dice type: Purple Dice. This can be dropped on your hero's Soul Slot to increase it, just like Gray and Red Dice.
Some heroes, in this case, Warlock skill use Soul to function: Warlock's skill is called Soul Eater, discards all your available souls and Rolls a dice for every 3 souls. Warlock Hero will especially be fun to play in the Endless mode ;)

New Bosses & Enemies

With the update, Dice & Fold now features 2 additional bosses that you will have to beat. Fallen King & Nuckelavee. Fallen King, Turn End: Unfolds a random enemy of any rarity Nuckelavee, When a Slot is Completed: Damages you by 15
Additionally, to flatten the difficulty curve, we added some additional monsters to the game for specific monster tiers. These are mostly to balance the game, and hopefully fun to fold. Stone Knight,Turn End: Gains +2 Damage Gravedigger,Once Folded: Unfolds as Ghoul Solitary Knight,Once Folded: Heals your Hero by 4 Ghoul,Turn End: Gains +1 Damage
Let us know what you think about the new monster art :)

New Items & Trinkets

This update also adds around 20 new items & 5 new trinkets. You can see the details of these new items in the Codex section of your game. While the items focused on synergic and combo potential for their function, the new trinkets focus on heroes with Shields. Our goal was to balance the difficulty of the shield heroes with the new trinkets.

Bug Fixes

In this update, we solved a crazy amount of bugs and implemented some fallbacks to some issues that we are confident will make the game feel way more polished. We fixed the most common bugs and focused on fixing some niche interactions. It's a long list of fixes and you can track the bugs that we already solved or currently working on solving in this link:

Shop and Item Bugs:

- Stuck in Shop (unable to leave or progress forward) - Shop bug (Gold coins not dropping as item cards unfold) - Shop freezes while gold coins are dropping causes a soft lock; player is able to save and exit but rerolls the shop - Cannot choose items or re-roll (a Save and Quit, then Continue fixed the issue) - Golden whip to appear at earlier stage shops - Silver engraved cauldron not working as described (a varying amount of shields, still only get 10/20 silver coins) - Trinket issues (Select trinkets before the game, does not show up in the game; Pickled remains unable to use if player skips purchasing item in the first shop) - Player purchased a lot of items during the game but unable to scroll through the items on the victory screen

Hero and Companion Bugs:

- Hero Health Cap (players found all heroes cap at 149) - Game freezes after hero is defeated but companion still alive (all buttons shadowed but music keeps going) - Progress bug (player got to 100% completion on easy mode but played one run as Blood Mage on -Normal and lost, -25% on progress and some heroes got locked) - Hero Folded at Stage 15 but player still able to play the next stages with companion, companion also folded but player was able to play up to Boss Level and folded hero took ATK damage - Hero folded but game didnt end (workaround: save & exit). Player able to play the same stage again.

Skill and Ability Interactions:

- Savant + Coup de Grace skill permanently reduces dice rolled - Lucent Dagger deactivates Knight's skill "Sword Mastery" - Savant Skills - stuck on jester head skill & no coupe de grace on muted enemies - Synchronization of trinkets and hero (Knight Sword mastery + Shiny hammer) - Sage tea doesnt trigger at the beginning of the stage and during Boss fights - Solitarian and Virtuoso's Cookbook interaction exploit - Player used companion (Bard) skill to silence Devourer until the attack is at 96 but somehow End turn button doesnt work anymore and roll again.

Soft Lock and Crashes:

- Player unable to get back to menu after defeating Boss on the Victory page, Player force close which makes all their progress lost (no trinkets or victory from the match) - Extreme difficulty missing on victory screen - Shop stage soft lock (header says choose companion; player able to save and quit, then continue to fix the lock) - First companion pick softlock - Soft Lock on Boss using Paladin; Boss changed on Save & Quit Reload

We will make sure to track this bug and let you know when we deploy a fix for it. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2693930/Dice__Fold/

[ 2024-08-16 09:38:26 CET ] [ Original post ]

Hey Heroes! We are amazed by the reception of Dice & Fold. We sold almost 30,000 copies and we have a growing community on Discord for our new shiny game! Over 2,000 players completed all the heroes in the game, and some of them finished it in Hard mode for all heroes. We didn't want you to wait for a new update to get back into the game, so did some schedule changes on our 5 free updates. In light of this much attention from you, we are releasing our First update: "Extreme Mode Update" earlier than we planned to previously. (This update is extra, so it won't change the timeline of when the Endless update will be released)
Extreme Mode introduces the highest difficulty mode. This mode will be very hard, almost all enemies are Elite, and even harder dungeon curve than the hard mode. The bonus is, you will be able to use 3 trinket slots for all heroes while you play in this difficulty mode. So, having unlocked all trinkets and the strategy of choosing the right trinket for the right hero in Extreme mode will add an additional challenge to this mode. Extreme Difficulty will be playable once you beat the game with Savant.

Balance of the Game

We 6 previous updates focusing on the game's difficulty, and we made numerous changes in those updates to get the current curve of the difficulties. In this update, we made it so that you can't roll colored dice while Dungeon Master is present. What we noticed was that some heroes are prone to spamming Red Dice heals or Blue Dice skill completions. This change will prevent this cheese play-style.
Trinket Drops: Your hero can drop lower-tier trinkets if all current-tier trinkets are already dropped. Also, there were some trinkets that were not dropping, we fixed that. This will allow you to play your favorite legendary hero to potentially drop all the trinkets. Hard Mode: Now in hard mode, all heroes have at least 1 trinket. We noticed it is very hard to get a good run going with heroes that doesn't have any trinket slots, for example, Jack. This makes it more pleasant to play in hard mode with these heroes. Queen: She now has 1 trinket slot, we want her to be more approachable. Gladiator: Had a considerably low boss beat rate, and most players lose in the early stages, so we increased its health from 18 to 24.

Hey Heroes! This one will be a small update, the beat rates based on heroes are where we want them right now. However the feel of the game still can use more polishing. My team is reviewing your thoughts and ideas on Discord and Steam community forums, and we also play the game continuously to see how the changes feel. As long as your voice and the stats data we have align, we are making changes to the game. Over 700 players completed all the heroes by far, we decided to release the "Extreme Update" early. We just implemented the system for it, and testing it right now, it will be available as a free content update next weekend when we fine-tune it enough to show it to you. If you are into almost impossible challenges, Extreme difficulty will be for you, we will also have Steam achievements for the extreme difficulty. Let's get into what we changed in this update;

Balance of the Game

Queen and Sorceress had a low beat rate compared to other hero curves. To reference this, Queen now has 1 trinket slot and Sorceress starts the game with extra HP. We will see the effects of these in the data and make more changes to it. Normal difficulty early runs for the first 3 heroes now get lower-tier monsters. This will let beginner players conserve health in the early stages. Other Updates We had placeholder skill icons in the game. Our artist did these for both heroes and companion skills in the style of the game. Changed the Hard mode finish icon indicator.

Bug Fixes

Here is some bugs we fixed: - Fix companion stage issue regarding clicking on "pass" with no current companion - Remove dismantle dice & shield dice tutorial message exceptions

Hello Heroes! I'm having a hard time finding a intro, it's 5th day of release, so its day 5 update. Cheers :) Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the previous post about selecting which boss you will fight. We think getting a random boss is not a good experience if you can't strategize for it. With you reaction and discussing internally we are thinking about choosing a boss randomly and showing it in the 8th turn. This way during the run you will be able to strategize your build to face this particular boss. What do you think about this idea? Let us know in the comments, if this gets a good reception we will implement it.

Balance of the Game

The latest changes showed up in the data and aligned with our target dungeon beat rates. Still the Easy mode rates are not where we want. So we made the curve for easy difficulty mode a bit easier. Some players also gave us an idea about making boss attack values lower in easy mode. We also did that as we see in the data for easy mode players lose on the boss. Elite Monster encounter percentages changed; - Common hero: 5% -> 3% (except Jack is 0%) - Rare hero: 10% -> 7% - Epic hero: 15% -> 12% - Legendary Hero: Stays at 25% (Elite monsters are the versions of normal monsters which has increased attack damage and higher total slots) This change will make the general difficulty curve smoother till legendary heroes. Data shows the epic/legendary hero beat rate is similar, so we left legendary heroes as is. Additionally; - Ronin's Headband now gives you 10 gold but also gives you the +1 dice rolls during the companion selection stage. - Keeping current companions will heal them by 5 in the companion selection stage.

Bug Fixes

Here is some bugs we fixed; - Limit max shield amount to 119 - Refactor item effect for Twinblade - Check if the last dropped trinket is included in trinkets dropped this run, recursively - Disable undo button when DM is folded - Disable damage slot of silenced enemies - Also reroll items on shop stage also when clicked on "Reroll" text - Revise reroll button text height - Undo on-fold damage for Snake - Fix: sometimes gold coins won't show up in item stage (Revise "additional gold fall" angle) - Fix: earrings of fate and archeologist effects

Other Changes

Music: Added a new track and its intensive versions that change with higher stages. Clearing confusions for trinket drops; - if you beat the boss with a rare trinket, if any rare trinket is not available to drop, you will drop another trinket of a lower rarity (if it exists) previously you only dropped trinkets that are the same rarity as your hero. - if there are no possible trinket drops, we will have a note in the trinket drop section of the victory screen, saying there is no more rare or less rare trinket to drop.

Thank you & Come to Discord

Some of you went bananas! 433 players completed the game with Savant, which you need to complete all heroes to unlock Savant. That means they finished the game. That's crazy. Come to Discord, and share a screenshot of your currently completed heroes. If you completed all, we will give you a special rank <3

[ 2024-06-28 18:14:55 CET ] [ Original post ]

Hey Heroes! Another day, another Day X update from us. In this case it is Day 4 Update. We had some issues with cloud save system for cross platform saves. This should be fixed with this update, if you lost your progress on another device, launching the game once should sync your progress depending on your achievements and cross platform save should work with no issues after this point. We added Trinkets as dropable achievements. This adds 41 new achievements to already existing 40. If you already have bunch of trinkets, when you launch the game, you should get your trinket achievements instantly for those you already have now. We want to have tons of custom achievements in the future updates also, like "roll 20 dice in a roll".

Balance of the Game

Looking at the stats data, with yesterday's update, onboarding runs are way better at %70-50 beat ratio. We made smaller adjustments in this update to bring this close to 80%. We want the first 3 hero to be easier than usual since player still learns during these runs. If a player is a quick learner, or want more challenge, they can always play these heroes on Hard. Bosses: We had comments about some bosses being either too hard or too easy, this is also shown in the data. We listed the boss beat rates and made adjustments to the bosses in order to make them feel equally difficulty. See the updated boss stats, we will make additional changes as we see changes on the stats data:
Tho, the nature of the game, some heroes counter some bosses well (eg: Illusionist for king) To fight this, we are discussing ideas on letting the player choose which boss to fight, similar to choosing a companion. What do you think about this change, let me know in the comments. Companions: Some players stated that they always favor few companions over all of them. This is also shown in our stats data. Our main goal is to make you choose a companion that is synergic with your hero's skill. We made some balance changes on companion skills, their health and skill slots to make sure they are unified in terms of power. For example, now, Shopkeeper takes all your spare silver, Cook damages your hero by 2 upon using their skill. We also balanced all companion skill slots and health.

QoL Enhancements

We now display the hero & companion rarities in the codex. Also added a note in game related to how the trinket drop logic happens. The rarity of the Hero you beat the boss determines the trinket rarity you will get.
Codex: In Codex, all elements now show their rarity, and all the elements are sorted by their rarity in game.

Bug Fixes

Here are some bugs we fixed in this patch; - Fixed some bugs related to high tier trinkets. - Fixed some bugs causing the game to soft lock.

About Dice/Die Grammar In Game

Understandability of the in-game text is the 1st priority for us. We had a player get very upset about this and even wrote a negative review. We made the decision to use the word "dice" for both the plural and singular forms of the word. Both uses are generally accepted nowadays and the word "die" is confusing in the concept of our game, some lines get confusing as the word "die" also has another relatable meaning in our game. - A dice is a small cube which has between one and six spots or numbers on its sides, and which is used in games to provide random numbers. In old-fashioned English, 'dice' was used only as a plural form, and the singular was die, but now 'dice' is used as both the singular and the plural form. [ Collins COBUILD Advanced Learners Dictionary. Copyright HarperCollins Publishers ] - With plural dice. (The form dice (used as plural and singular) is of much more frequent occurrence in gaming and related senses than the singular die.) [Oxford English Dictionary]

Hey Heroes! Back at you with the Day 3 update! I know Day 1 updates are common, Day 2 sometimes, but not every game gets a Day 3 update.

Balance of the Game

To be honest, we are struggling with comments from some of the players about the game still being hard. Our team definitely has a bias on the game's difficulty since we have been playing it basically for the last 6 months. To reference this and make onboarding better: We implemented a way for Jack, Queen and Joker to get a simplified run for their Normal and Easy difficulty mode. New players play these heroes first, and making sure these are approachable could ease the experience of the onboarding of the game. We will keep monitoring the data we have. We definitely hear your comments about the difficulty, we will use the stats data we have and your common comments as a guide to balance the game further. I would like you to give us some tips and ideas about what feels unfair or unbalanced in the game in the comments of this patch notes.

Bug Fixes

We have some bug fixes; - implement a failsafe for game softlocking with items acquired by random item generator skills (Cook, Shopkeeper, Artist, Craftsman etc) - catch save issue and failsafe open game scene - sync all hero progress also using steam achieveiements - also sync didPlayWithJack based on each - failsafe unlocked hero syncer - add DiceSlotCompleted to autism/adhd filter - show disabled status if a trinket is already selected - also clear achievements when player resets manually on settings - fix trinket panel on MacOS - Remove Light component from activation VFX - trinket selection blocker logic - add love in a bottle brave hero exception - fix progress reset normal difficulty Additionally, in this post I would like to thank my team for putting extra effort into making sure we support the game after release with these daily patches. We definitely haven't anticipated the reception we have and all the feedback and ideas we get from the community.

[ 2024-06-26 16:22:37 CET ] [ Original post ]

Hey Heroes! We have been crawling in the Steam Discussion Boards and Discord, and back at you with another quick patch. We are overwhelmed with the amazing reception by far. We also heard your feedback about the game being hard. We are slowly taking steps on balancing the curve by watching the stats data we have.

Balance of the Game

My current goal on balancing is to send out minor nerfs to monsters and buffs to items DAILY till we find a good balance that makes everyone happy for the normal difficulty. On this update some Tier3-Tier4 monsters got nerfed and we balanced the pricing of rare items and how frequently they show up in the shop. This should feel easier for the "normal" difficulty. Hard difficulty will be there for extreme players. For Easy mode, if you read the previous patch notes we said that we made the easy mode easier. This time, we made the easy mode even easier with this update.

Bug Fixes

We have some bug fixes for you; - Do not lock skill slots for Jack & Gambler during boss & miniboss fights - Localize roll button text when using item effect of Dice Charm as well - Update item image for Goblin's Eye - Fix undo button damage calculation when Knight's skill is used - Update "Recent Trinkets" empty slot visuals - Fix recurring trinkets in the victory panel - Add exceptions for displaying shield & dismantle dice tutorials - Check if droppedTrinkets is null - Disable scrollview for dropped trinkets - Do not lock skill slots for Jack & Gambler if the last folded enemy is a Slimi, Scarecrow or Demon - catch save issue and open game scene - Disable shining effect for skill icon when Jack & Gambler's skill slots are locked - All notation of "dice" or "die" or "dices" is now "dice" we will use dice for both singular and plural form of the word.

Thank you

Our team is excited to show you what we have in the store, thank you for the patience and continued support!

[ 2024-06-25 17:27:10 CET ] [ Original post ]

Hey Heroes! Day 1 patch is here. Surprising to our devs, we didn't have much game breaking bugs noticed today. We are still on the look out.

Balance

We noticed the run curve of the game on the middle to late stage gets too hard for some players. We wanted to balance this a little bit, nerfing some of the tier 4 and 5th monster cards. Another balance change is: We made Easy mode easier. We hope this feels better for some casual Heroes.

Technical

Additionally for some technical problem we had to leave vsync off and untoggleable in the game. Which now in the graphic settings vsync option is operational. If you had screen tearing, you might want to enable this. Another requested feature our Discord community asked for was to be able to reset your progress of the game. Since some players already played the game on the Demo, they wanted to reset their progress and play from the zero. We quickly implemented this feature, go to your settings and press "reset my progress"

Bug Fixes

We also have some bug fixes; - Lock Jack's skill slots if DM is folded - Audio Finetune pt3 - Disable info icons for Slimi Piece, Raven & Fireball - Fix Blood Mage's skill being able to fold Dungeon Master - Make Warden & Corrupt Alchemist override the item effect for Chameleon T - Remove "trinket slots are locked in demo" tooltip - wanna reset prompt & settings button - Disable silenced VFX when card is folded - Do not trigger item effect for Bounty Poster in boss stage - Lock Gambler's skill slots if DM is folded - Lock skill slots for Jack & Gambler when all enemies are folded

Thank you

We are also on the #1 for New Trending games on Steam US. We are so glad many of you liked the game. If you haven't already, feel free to send us your opinions as a review on Steam Reviews.

Dice & Fold - 5 Free Content Updates

As mentioned in the previous posts, we have already planned 5 different free content updates in the lifetime of the game. Full details on these updates and up to date version can be found in our steam page "roadmap" section, here is a copy of it;
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2693930/Dice__Fold/

[ 2024-06-24 10:02:18 CET ] [ Original post ]

Hey Heroes! We reached 26,000 wishlists! We are thrilled to hear all the feedback you gave us during the NextFest, we literally have a spreadsheet of feedback from over 1,000 entries. I'm glad that most of the feedback we got from you aligns with our vision and things we were already working on. The reality is that the demo was an old, but fairly stable version, and most of the feedback was either already implemented or was in the works. We also got really cool ideas from the feedback forms and are already working on implementing some of them.

Releasing on 24th June with 5 Free Content Updates Scheduled

I'm here to tell you we will be releasing Dice & Fold in 6 days on 24th June with 8 unique bosses, 20 minibosses, 70+ monsters with custom mechanics, 20 heroes, 150 items (including new Shiny items), and 20 trinkets. Demo had 70~ items and 5 playable heroes, 1 boss, and no minibosses.
You can also see a regularly updated free content roadmap post on the main store page of Dice & Fold.

Why Free post launch content?

With these 5 post-launch content updates we aim to; - increase the replayability of the game - introduce new synergic items that promote crazy builds - add new playable content like heroes, bosses, enemies, and game modes We don't want Dice & Fold to be one of those tiny indie games you play once, finish, and leave on the corner of your library.
Yes, some of my favorite games are like that. But we will continuously have new content to consume in the game, similar to our "solitaire approach" to making this game. Are you bored of a triple-A title, just want to play a game on autopilot when you are listening to a podcast, putting on a TV show that you memorize the lines for, and playing new content released on Dice & Fold. Just like Solitaire.

Why not Early Access?

We as a team debated over this a lot, we really think Dice & Fold gives a full game experience, with every angle covered, and fits the box pretty well with all corners touching. Meanwhile, we are very much aware Dice & Fold has a great potential for adding content horizontally. Releasing the game full and adding the additional consumable content with updates felt most comfortable for each member of the team.
Here is a warning tho, even though 20,000 players played the game's demo, it is still not battle tested, be patient while we fix up things, balance the content and add QoL in our first content update.

What do you think?

We care a lot about what you think, we were able to create a small community in discord & steam community forums, my team is actively engaging with your feedbacks and ideas, what do you think about our future plans?
