At long last, version 0.8 of the demo has just been released! This version completely overhauls the way that card effects work under the hood. They are now much more consistent and less buggy, especially when card effects interact with each other, and its going to be significantly easier for me to add new card effects in the future! Improvements: - The game is much faster overall, with the card movements animations in particular being shortened Loot Box event fixes - fixes a bug where you could quickly open a new loot box after clicking last potion which would mean that the next loot box only showed one potion and all rewards couldn't be collected - makes the skip rewards button skip card and heal potions - makes the loot box opening animation get faster as you open more boxes - fixes a bug where more than one "open loot box" card could be dealt if you clicked rewards and skip button quickly Notable bug fixes and changes: - Dark Mage can now be played by the opponent - XI Strength now cannot skip the next opponent round if the opponent had already stood - changes IV The Emperor, V The Hierophant, XV The Devil, XVII The Star, and XVIII The Moon to be checked when round ends - this also fixes a bug where if they were swapped to other player their effect stayed on the first player - changes XVIII The Moon shroud to be checked whenever moving cards - Glitched Card now works more consistently - fixes a bug where Valentines Card wasn't suited as hearts - fixes a bug where loyalty stamps weren't being correctly removed after filling the Loyalty Card - fixes a bug with the Joker where it wouldn't set it's value to 0 if there were no cards in discard pile - fixes a bug where beer and a shot wasn't costing 100 chips - fixes a bug where the Trade Offer event could offer the same card that The Collector requested - fixes a bug where you could choose the Beer and a Shot option while having less than 10 health - fixes a bug where killing the opponent using Scratch or Wheel of Fortune would allow them to play one more card before the encounter ending - swaps the Poker Players Jack of Clubs for Jack of Diamonds - several tweaks to card descriptions Im really excited to be done with this overhaul as now I can get back to adding new features, cards, and encounters!

You’ve played blackjack before…



In Dungeons & Degenerate Gamblers you’ll travel through a tavern where everyone plays a very different version of blackjack to what you’re used to. You’ll have to master it to strike down the capitalists at the top that are profiting from the tavern’s manipulation of the blackjack-addicted townspeople.

But never with cards like these!



Every run you’ll build a new deck from a collection of over 175 unique cards, each with it’s own special effect. Will you use the powerful Tarot cards? Or perhaps you prefer the Business Card, or the Hall Pass? Or maybe you have an Ace Up Your Sleeve?

Just as your deck will be different every time, so will the way you wield the cards. One run you might be focused on drawing aces, while the next you are aiming to fill your opponents deck with bad draws.

And never in a place like this!



As you make your way through the tavern you’ll be presented with many choices - make sure you make the right one, as the consequences could catapult your run to greatness, or end it very quickly… Will you buy a loot box, open a booster pack, drink ale, or stay in the fancy room?




Disclaimers: Dungeons & Degenerate Gamblers contains no real currency gambling, no micro transactions, no loot boxes, no bait and switch tactics, no cryptocurrencies or NFTs, and definitely no Skinner Box “gameplay elements”. Any art that resembles art from other media is used only as a parody, to poke fun at predatory monetisation tactics, and the absurdity of how tried and true methods used to make adults addicted to gambling are now used by gaming’s largest companies to trap children in their lifelong whale nets.
