Patch Notes v1.1.0 - Extreme Mode Update, Bug Fixes and Balancing

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.

Bug Fixes


Here is some bugs we fixed; - fix wide screen mainmenu bg - fix: windowed mode scene change resolution issue - Do not display continue button if last save was on hero selection panel - better quality settings - extreme mode save and sync system - end game no trinket indicator - Limit min silver conversion rate to 1 - fix difficulty button frames - reverse hero selection panel scroll behavior - companion selection, clearer text - goto menu make sure didPlayWithJack = 1 - reverse display of recent trinkets - fix no trinket exception - Check if DM is folded when all the other enemies are folded - Allow a maximum of 28 dice on the board at the same time - Fix Savant's skill not getting reset after Coup De Grace is used during boss stage - Display localized special ability tooltip for Savant - Do not offer shiny and regular versions of an item card in the same shop - fix savant unlocking extreme - Check if all cards are folded 2 seconds after the last enemy is folded & activate end turn button - fix white spaces on "To unlock" text for some languages.

Steam Trading Cards

  • Dice & Fold is a game that combines the strategic depth of turn-based dungeon crawlers with the thrill of chance inherent in dice games. Players unfold cards to face the creature cards and try to beat the card and fold it. Reminiscent of classic table-top RPGs, the game adds a simple layer of strategy.

    Mechanics

    The core mechanic of the game revolves around dice rolling. Players engage in combat by rolling a dice, with the outcome directly influencing the strength of their attacks. The higher the roll, the more damage inflicted on the enemies. Strategic depth is introduced through the need to carefully select which enemy to attack first, requiring players to drag and drop the dice onto the appropriate enemy card's dice slot.

    Each turn is a test of tactical acumen. Players must strategize the best use of their dice rolls to maximize damage and control the battlefield, while also anticipating the counterattacks from monster cards at the end of each turn. The game offers a compelling risk-reward system, challenging players to balance aggressive tactics against the need for self-preservation.

    Adding to the complexity, the game features five distinct classes, each with unique abilities and playstyles. This diversity allows for varied approaches to dungeon exploration and combat, encouraging replayability and experimentation.

    Roguelike & Deckbuilding Gameplay

    With the generative dungeon system, reminiscent of the branching pathways in "Slay the Spire." This element of choice ensures that each journey through the dungeons is a unique experience, filled with unexpected challenges and rewards. As the player you will choose the enemy and upgrade cards you want to keep in your next turn.

    Between dungeons, players have the opportunity to choose upgrades, similar to the mechanics in "Vampire Survivors." These upgrades range from enhancing dice rolls and bolstering class abilities to gaining new upgradeable cards that can turn the tide in challenging encounters.

    If a player is defeated, the game doesn’t end in frustration. Instead, players are rewarded with meta upgrades and currencies that can be used to strengthen their character for subsequent runs. This progressive system ensures a continual sense of advancement and achievement, even in defeat.

    Strategy & Chance Together

    With its blend of strategy, chance, and RPG elements, "Dice & Fold" offers an engaging and ever-evolving gameplay experience that appeals to both fans of dungeon crawlers and players who enjoy the unpredictability of dice-based games. Its unique combination of mechanics, and expansive upgrade system, offers a lot of replayability and fun!
