Buckshot Roulette Official Merch Restocked and Reloaded. How fortunate.
Todays announcement is on a shorter side, but very important for us nonetheless. The BUCKSHOT ROULETTE T-Shirts are back on menu via our beloved friends and partners at Fangamer
If you ever wanted to have the Dealer close to your heart and you mean that literally, consider getting one right now since apparently the stock runs out fairly quickly. Weve also infused a third of the T-Shirt stock with a special power to always have a live round whenever you saw off a shotgun. Who knows, maybe youll get one of them? Its a gamble and you seem to love it, right? But thats not all. We also now have The Dealer Pins.
Featuring both The Dealer AND The Shotgun from the BUCKSHOT ROULETTE Computer Game. You can even aim the shotgun straight at the Dealers face. How fortunate! If theres ever going to be a live adaptation of BUCKSHOT ROULETTE by Mr. Beast, this is gonna be a part of the dress code for sure. And the T-Shirt of course, so start preparing in advance. Anyway, thats all we have for you today. Well return to you soon enough with more messages, but for now here are the handy links to the merch:
If you're having a bad day, just remember that tomorrow could be a good day. It's a gamble. And once you realize you're gambling, you'll be happy again. Because gambling is awesome. Until next time, Mike Klubnika, CR Channel & Fangamer

Buckshot Roulette Reached 4,000,000 Sales And We Have A Present For You
It feels incredibly sentimental to write another one of these posts. After all, underneath our ruthless and greedy personas of Illegal Gambling Ringmasters are still just a bunch of nerds who love seeing people enjoy our video games. Even if some of the time theyre mad at us for getting blasted with a hand sawed shotgun in the face. So we want to thank each and every one of you for taking part in our dance between life and death and bringing BUCKSHOT ROULETTE to over 4,000,000 sales. Our dream of making 1 Million 4-People-Lobbies is now achievable! But we dont want to stop there. We too are High Rollers at heart, so we declare that were aiming to double that number yet again no matter how much it takes! So today we are launching one of the most requested features for Buckshots Multiplayer a Public Lobby Search.
[quote] Hey guys! We've noticed an influx of reports about connection issues. Unfortunately, this is not on our end, and we can't fix it; however, we have a fix! Thanks to Bruno from Discord. You can try port forwarding UDP ports 4379 and 4380 to allow outgoing traffic. Keep in mind, that not every router allows for port forwarding. More info at: https://portforward.com/[/quote] With it you can have your dance between life and death with people all across the world with no need for such old-school techniques like Finding Friends or Joining Discords. The progress is inevitable and our partners at Volta Standard Electronics did their best to keep up with the times and we hope youll love this new feature. Whether you are a newcomer in our night club or a long-time regular, we hope to see you back again and again and again and again and then some more.
Were happy to announce that THRESHOLD, a solo horror project by Julien Eveill is OUT NOW on Steam. If youre craving more horror with gritty PSX aesthetics and devastating story, give it a go, wontcha? In a lonely station atop a mountain, a train rumbles its precious cargo to places unknown. Now is your shift. Keep the pace. Uncover a mystery. Fight for your last breath. The air is thin up here. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2580020/THRESHOLD/ No matter how crowded the club gets, theres always a seat for you. The night is coming to its end and a new day shall bring new terrors. Thank you. And see you again soon. Mike Klubnika & CR Channel

Nominate Buckshot Roulette for "Most Innovative Gameplay Award"!
Firstly, wed like to share some development news. The voices requesting matchmaking in Buckshot Multiplayer overwhelmed even the nightclubs music and the gunshots in the basement were working on adding matchmaking into the game in the next update!
Now we dont have a concrete release date for it, but Lobby selection will be available soon and currently is in testing. Speaking of. Its almost the end of the year, and youve probably noticed something thawing out from its slumber (besides festive songs). Its the Steam Awards, baby! We wont be pointing any shotguns at you, but might we suggest nominating Buckshot Roulette for Most Innovative Gameplay Award? After all, the game gave birth to a small sub-genre of other games! Best Soundtrack and Better With Friends would be pretty cool as well. Or maybe you dig the visuals of Buckshot Roulette so much that it deserves Outstanding Visual Style Award! Or maybe it was your personal Game of the Year (and if so, were very humbled!).
In any case, consider nominating Buckshot Roulette, or other Critical Reflex games, like Mouthwashing, Arctic Eggs or THRESHOLD! And if Youre not familiar with them, heres a quick link to every single one: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2475490/Mouthwashing/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/2763670/Arctic_Eggs/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/2580020/THRESHOLD/ Vote!

Buckshot Roulette Match Customization, Free Look and QoL improvements and more
Hope youve missed us been a while since the multiplayer launch after all. We sure did. Today we are bringing you our first substantial update for the multiplayer with some of the most requested features (that were easier to implement than the public matchmaking) and neat QoL improvements. Thank you so much for giving us your feedback both Mike and the CR Channel Crew wanted to make sure you all know that we see everything and were building a roadmap for future updates as we are writing these patch notes. Well chat about that later when were ready though, stay tuned for that in the near future. And now, lets get to the topic at hand:
By default, holding down the right mouse button, or the left trigger on controllers, will now let the player look around. Free look is enabled throughout most of the game unless the shell sequence or the round indicators are shown, or other similar events take place.

Thank you so much for giving us your feedback both Mike and the CR Channel Crew wanted to make sure you all know that we see everything and were building a roadmap for future updates as we are writing these patch notes. Well chat about that later when were ready though, stay tuned for that in the near future. And now, lets get to the topic at hand:
Added additional match customization settings that can be changed by the host:
- The starting health (or random) for each round.
- Up to 12 shell sequences in total (4 x 3 rounds) - any number of blanks or lives (up to 10 shells), or set specific sequences to be random. The number of items to grab per shell load can also be adjusted, or set to random.
- For each item, in any round: max item amount per player, max item amount on the entire table, and whether or not the item is used in-game. This allows games where there won't be enough items for everyone. Item grabbing will now be cut off for players that, in the middle of grabbing items, no longer have anything to grab from the available pool of items.
- By default, all match customization settings are set as the default that were used in previous versions. Changes can be reverted to default at any time.
- Players in the lobby will be informed of match settings that have been changed by the host, but will only see the category instead of the specific values.
Added a free look mode:
By default, holding down the right mouse button, or the left trigger on controllers, will now let the player look around. Free look is enabled throughout most of the game unless the shell sequence or the round indicators are shown, or other similar events take place.
QoL Improvements and Bug Fixes
- The second volume of the soundtrack (mastered, with metadata) can now be found in the game files.
- Greyscale death can now be toggled under audio/video settings.
- Fixed a visual bug related to the basement window.
- Fixed the game softlocking when a player that is grabbing items disconnects, and all other players have finished grabbing items.
- Steam nicknames are no longer public.
- Fixed the disconnection message not working properly in most locales.
- Fixed the game crashing when stealing an item from a player that has disconnected.
- Fixed the cursor not being visible in some cases when exiting the options menu in multiplayer.
- Fixed a softlock for when a user disconnects during shell loading.
- Fixed a number of localization issues.

Buckshot Roulette Multiplayer Beta Launch Window Announcement
The most astute of you have already found out that weve been showing off Buckshot multiplayer at G-Fusion in China. You might even have seen some footage of it. In that case, theres no reason to keep it under wraps any longer. So for all High Rollers at home, were releasing some of our own footage for you to feast your eyes on: [previewyoutube=XX79VNbS1To;full][/previewyoutube] Were sorry for any friendships ruined in the process
Not captured at the photo: a three-hour line to play Buckshots multiplayer
Only one of them will walk out with a case full of money tonight. Of course we know that merely just watching is not enough. The greed, the thrill, the high stakes you can only experience these in action.
This October marks the first anniversary of CR Channel a collective of brave developers pushing the envelope of the horror genre further than imaginable and a bunch of horror nerds from CRITICAL REFLEX with a dream. To celebrate we have prepared many, many surprises for you throughout the whole month waiting to be unpacked, like an advent calendar of sorts. And well be launching the BUCKSHOT ROULETTE Multiplayer Beta as one of the gifts sorry for spoiling the surprise a little. Hope you dont mind.
And for those of you lucky enough to be in Japan from September 26 to September 29, you can play the Buckshot Roulette Multiplayer earlier at the CRITICAL REFLEX booth. Not just on PC, by the way: by popular demand weve set up the Real Buckshot Roulette experience. Staring at the barrel of a shotgun has never been so fun, eh? But before we go, we have an announcement from CR Channel: Mouthwashing, a space horror tragedy brought to you by the masters of weird horror at Wrong Organ of How Fish is Made fame, is OUT NOW on Steam. Follow the lives of the crew as they endure starvation, isolation, and the strain of dealing with each other. The ship will be out of power in six months, with food rations running out even sooner. Will they make it through or will they perish under the light of an eternal sunset? https://store.steampowered.com/app/2475490/Mouthwashing/ See you again soon, high rollers. The night is coming and its darker than ever. Mike Klubnika, CR Channel & VLT dard Electrons

Buckshot Roulette Multiplayer Progress Report
Been a while since we last spoke with you all, hope you missed us a lot. We know what you guys are all waiting for, and while we dont have any announcements today, we wanted to let you take a look at the backrooms of our nightclub. Even if its still in development. So without further ado, let us begin.
Wonderful, thank you. The cats been out of the bag for quite a while, but we think its about time to officially confirm that BUCKSHOT ROULETTE Multiplayer will allow up to four high rollers to partake in the dance between life and death. Of course that meant that the old tech had to be replaced with something more suitable for a bigger crowd. Thankfully, our colleagues at Volta Standard Electronics are the best when it comes to inventing efficient tools for bloody entertainment, so well introduce you to some.
Starting off, of course, with a brand new playing table. Our priority was to make the game of chance as fair to all contestants as possible, so the Volta Engineers prepared a perfectly symmetrical table that would still allow all players to have 8 items at a time. And a rotation mechanism for a shotgun, since you wanted to see it in action so much. Of course, having more players together at the same table implies that there should be new items tailored around this mechanic specifically. Like this remote, which is [REMOVED: Proprietary information of Volta Standard Electronics]. Or, I guess we can just say that it only makes sense with multiple people at the table for now.
Note: All safety guarantees void if body parts remain on the table during clearing sequence Hope you enjoyed our little tour into the multiplayer zone of our nightclub. Well be back soon with more info, but for now keep the bets coming, our dear High Rollers.
THRESHOLD, a solo project by Julien Eveill, is joining the CR Channel Family of deeply discomforting and beautifully unsettling video games. THRESHOLD is a short, dark and atmospheric First Person Exploration game picturing disturbing facts about an untold brutal story. Pick a country, start your shift and try to save the world with the help of your precious bucket, some Air Cans and a bunch of planks. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2580020/THRESHOLD/ Among twice as many players you better be twice as lucky. Good luck. Mike Klubnika, CR Channel & VLT dard Electrons

Would the shell loading machine please show itself for the demonstration?
Wonderful, thank you. The cats been out of the bag for quite a while, but we think its about time to officially confirm that BUCKSHOT ROULETTE Multiplayer will allow up to four high rollers to partake in the dance between life and death. Of course that meant that the old tech had to be replaced with something more suitable for a bigger crowd. Thankfully, our colleagues at Volta Standard Electronics are the best when it comes to inventing efficient tools for bloody entertainment, so well introduce you to some.
Starting off, of course, with a brand new playing table. Our priority was to make the game of chance as fair to all contestants as possible, so the Volta Engineers prepared a perfectly symmetrical table that would still allow all players to have 8 items at a time. And a rotation mechanism for a shotgun, since you wanted to see it in action so much. Of course, having more players together at the same table implies that there should be new items tailored around this mechanic specifically. Like this remote, which is [REMOVED: Proprietary information of Volta Standard Electronics]. Or, I guess we can just say that it only makes sense with multiple people at the table for now.
That's enough for now, let's remove all this junk from the playing table and wrap this up.
Note: All safety guarantees void if body parts remain on the table during clearing sequence Hope you enjoyed our little tour into the multiplayer zone of our nightclub. Well be back soon with more info, but for now keep the bets coming, our dear High Rollers.
But before we go, a quick announcement from the CR Channel Crew:

Buckshot Roulette Multiplayer Teaser, Summer Sale, New Bundle and more
Been a while since we announced that were working on multiplayer, huh? Well, today we intend to fill the Dealer-shaped hole in your hearts with some good news, so crack open a nice and cold can of Digita, get your defibrillators ready and lets get right to it.
As Mike mentioned in one of his Q&A answers, his style of development is mostly about figuring out the core mechanics, features, etc. and lots of polishing afterwards. So were happy to announce that were officially in the polishing stage of development. This doesnt really mean that we have a release date for you all today, but weve had the chance to tinker with the prototype and we had an absolute blast with it. We asked Mike to let us share a sneak peek into the current state of multiplayer, and heres a cute little screenshot he allowed us to show:
Expect to hear more about the particular mechanics of this mode closer to its public launch, but we hope that this little glimpse into Buckshot multiplayer will make the wait a little more bearable. But it wont take too long, hopefully. Speaking of things you can do before the multiplayer launch
And that means you can prepare for the multiplayers inevitable arrival by getting a copy of Buckshot for yourself or for your friends youd want to have a dance between life and death with. (or just stuff Buckshot in your shopping cart along with some other games with decent discounts youre never gonna install after buying, we dont really mind that outcome as well.) But thats not all. We collabed with Strange Scaffold to bring you yet another Buckshot Roulette bundle, now with an incredible (and dearly beloved by us) indie gem El Paso, Elsewhere. Introducing Super Strange Indie Shooter Bundle. Our title game is on point, we know. You know the drill: you get a better deal on two great games, we get more people in our nightclub. A win-win for everyone.
Vlta tandard Ectic deands mre evenue. Gv s ll your money. What else is there? Oh right, a reminder that there is still time to get into the Mikes Twitter Art Contest. To participate, draw your OC (original character) as the Dealer, using this screenshot.
Then head over to Twitter (currently known as X) and post your creation using #buckshot_oc tag. That's it! In our next devlog, Mike will pick the winners and reward them with Buckshot swag:
Can you fry eggs on top of Mount Everest? Should you even try? How many eggs, sardines and cigarettes does it even take to make an omelette? Find your answers in Arctic Eggs, a Sci-Fi cooking game where you take up the role of a Poultry Peddler stuck in Antarctica and longing for a way out. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2763670/Arctic_Eggs/ Thats all for today, High Rollers. Well return quite soon, but for now make sure to join the CR Channel Discord, because you never know, maybe well need some volunteers to test the Buckshot Roulette multiplayer or something. If youre gonna bet on someone, bet on yourself. And if that doesnt work out, double down on yourself. Mike Klubnika, CR Channel & VLT dard Electrons

BUCKSHOT ROULETTE Q&A Session with Mike Klubnika
We were truly astounded by the amount of questions we received for you, so it took us a longer than expected to go through them all to get our final list, but here we are today at the first ever BUCKSHOT ROULETTE: A Q&A Session by Mike Klubnika. We kindly asked Mike to answer your questions and well be presenting the answers with their wording and punctuation intact!
Thank you to our Discord community for submitting all your lovely questions, even the thirsty ones (oh god so many, many thirsty ones)! We'll be sure to host more of these every so often, so if we didnt answer yours this time dont worry, there will be other opportunities to submit your burning questions down the line!. In the meantime, please, consider a cold shower or caressing some greenery. Now, back to work. See you next time in the Community Highlight devlog... and maybe something else as well? Remember, it's not a gambling addiction if you keep winning. Best of luck to you, High Rollers. Mike Klubnika, CR Channel & VL SSSSTR LCTRRRS

Greetings, High Rollers!
We were truly astounded by the amount of questions we received for you, so it took us a longer than expected to go through them all to get our final list, but here we are today at the first ever BUCKSHOT ROULETTE: A Q&A Session by Mike Klubnika. We kindly asked Mike to answer your questions and well be presenting the answers with their wording and punctuation intact!
And we're kicking things off with the most frequent questions we received these past couple of weeks. Take it away, Mike:
- Will there be a mobile or console release of Buckshot Roulette? VR? Currently there aren't any plans for mobile or VR, but Buckshot will be dropping on current-gen consoles later this year.
- Will multiplayer have any new items exclusive to it? Maybe some insights about it? A lot is subject to change at the moment, but there are plans to have exclusive items as well as other additional mechanics for multiplayer. The new items aim to make the game more strategic for PVP, and other mechanics may or may not include the ability to place bets from your total winnings. Go big or go home.
- Who is God? What was his reason for playing the Dealer? Is he dead? God is just your average 'creator of the universe' type of guy. Made a bet with the Dealer and all hell broke loose. Literally. Yea he's super dead.
- Can you tell us some insights about the games development? Did you encounter any bizarre or funny bugs?
I had one bug where the dealer proclaimed "0 LIVE ROUNDS. 0 BLANKS.", picked up the shotgun, did nothing, and placed it on the table. I knew it was all going to break but it still got a chuckle out of me when the game crashed as soon as I shot myself. There was also this one time when I added the deformed dealer mesh that he swaps to when he gets shot for the first time. I tested it once and totally forgot about it, so later that night when I was expecting a :) dealer and got a >:( dealer instead, it actually spooked me quite a bit.
Mike shared his logs of that happening just for giggles, enjoy! - Will new items/mechanics/weapon types be added to the base game? Currently the main priority is multiplayer, but it is possible that the base game will receive some updates. The synthesizer would be pretty neat, and a daily run that is the same for all players, but which you can only try once, is also something I have considered.
- Does the game take place in the same universe as previous games? Yes.
- Is the player still alive in the game? Or already in a form of purgatory or hell? The player is alive. Hell comes later.
- Who is Doctor? Is he an entity or a human being? Doc is a 'normal human'. Just one of the people responsible for keeping the game going. He spends most of his time outside though, just to protect his hearing.
- Would you ever consider adding "modifiers" to the game? I.e. switching around the odds of the preset shell loads, double damage always active, no items, etc. It would be neat. I imagine multiplayer would especially benefit from modifiers and similar mechanics, and if it'll be a feature either on launch or later down the line, then it'll most likely be on both the base game as well as multiplayer.
Of course, we couldn't help but notice a certain fascination with the Dealer in our community, so the next batch of answers is dedicated to our beloved affable sharp-toothed meatball.
- Does the Dealer have a body? Or is he just a floating head with hands? Nah. Dealer just floats around like that.
- What kind of music does Dealer like? Maybe some genre? Sorting algorithm 'audibilizations' is by far the Dealer's most liked genre. Radix sort is his favorite.
- Is there gonna be a vid about the Dealer backstory? Or maybe a little bit of a lore of why we are in this situation with the Dealer? There will be some updates down the line that will flesh out the story more.
- How many times has the dealer gone to a dentist? How many teeth does he even have, both showing and hidden in the void of his mouth? Sure he went to the dentist. Was told to quit smoking. Total annihilation after that. 38 teeth.
- What does the dealer think about all the people simping for him? Can't think of anything funny for this one lol
- Does the dealer prefer non-alcoholic beer or a normal one? Which brand? Normal. Digita all the way.
And the last category for today are the questions addressed personally at Mike, the best opportunity to get some of the insights behind his inspirations and design!
- What is your favorite game/book? My favorite game of all time is probably Outer Wilds. The DLC is one of the best horror games I've played so far, and I actually liked it more than the base game.
- What inspired you to make Buckshot Roulette? What was the inspiration for the art style/sound design? Overall, the mechanics and their presentation are mainly inspired by Inscryption. Like for example the way the camera pans around to show certain parts of the table. Apart from that the overall atmosphere, sound design and vibe of the game is inspired by all types of media with gritty and industrial aesthetics. Pi (1998) was a big influence in just throwing various pieces of random electronics everywhere, and enough cables so that they're a fair tripping hazard. PilotRedSun's animations have that lo-fi look and sound to them that I really liked, and it made me appreciate how cool stretched textures can look. Part of the soundtrack is inspired by the work of Aphex Twin and Boards of Canada, while the nightclub tracks are inspired by various boiler room sets and the Hotline Miami soundtrack.
- How do you set deadlines for yourself, keep scope creep in check, and know when a game is ready? I usually just pick a date and plan stuff out before I start doing anything. I personally don't really vibe with long game design documents that go over every single aspect of the game before development starts, so I just stick to the core mechanics, gameplay loop, story, and just go from there. I spend a lot of development time just polishing, so after a certain point I just look at the thing and go "yeah". I usually don't have issues with scope creep, but Buckshot Roulette is one instance where I decided to just fully embrace it. It's one of the reasons the game was actually released a month after the original deadline. I vibed with ideas like the signature machine, smoking dude, and the car sequence with the final score so much that I just decided to add them.
And that's a wrap!
Thank you to our Discord community for submitting all your lovely questions, even the thirsty ones (oh god so many, many thirsty ones)! We'll be sure to host more of these every so often, so if we didnt answer yours this time dont worry, there will be other opportunities to submit your burning questions down the line!.

BUCKSHOT ROULETTE Q&A Session with Mike soon, new Inscryption Bundle and more
Remember that one time we promised to host a Q&A Session with Mike Klubnika? Well, its finally happening next week! So if you have a burning question of any kind (from Dealers favorite snack to the meaning of life) youd like to know the answer to, this is your cue to leave these in the comments below or on our Discord server in the #q-a-questions channel. Then well gather the most exciting (or incredibly silly) of these and have Mike answer all of them as truthfully as humanly possible. Well post the results later both here on Steam and on our Discord server, so stay tuned for that! And to answer the most common question in advance: the multiplayer developments actively in progress and in fact weve just seen the latest prototype internally (and it rocks). Youll have to wait a bit before we can show it publicly though. What we can share, however, is this photo, presented to you without any context:
One shotgun each. The next one is very special, as many of you were saying that Buckshot Roulette is basically Inscryption with a shotgun, so we're delivering. Presenting "Literally the same game" bundle as it's only fair to get both games with a discount if they're so alike! [previewyoutube=x-BRDpXY-IE;full][/previewyoutube] Its an incredible honor for all of us to team up with Daniel Mullins and Devolver to make this happen and we couldnt wait to share the news with you all!
Okay, nerding out is over, but before we go, heres our last quick announcement from CR Channel
The five crew members of The Tulpar are stranded in the empty reaches of space, shrouded in perpetual sunset. God is not watching.

Buckshot Roulette A Look Into Cut, Scrapped and Hand-Sawed Ideas
A surprising number of you were wondering about the stuff that almost made it into BUCKSHOT ROULETTE and was scrapped for one reason or another. Some of you even went as far as to datamine and dig through the game files to find out. Well, today we asked Mike Klubnika to share some of his unused ideas for BUCKSHOT ROULETTE, so you can take a peek behind the development curtain and see what could have been. Maybe some of you would even go as far as to mod some of these in. Just kidding, haha. Unless..?
Lets get started with a fairly known one: BUCKSHOT ROULETTE was called Shotgun Roulette up until just days before release. What is lesser known is the fact that this was an homage to swiftors Call of Duty video series of the same name which Mike used to watch and love growing up. BUCKSHOT ROULETTE was also originally planned to be a part of a bigger horror game, where the player would go to various locations in a small bleak town and complete objectives. One of these objectives was to beat an underground arcade owner in a game of shotgun roulette. The player would then use the tickets earned to purchase the grand prize, which was a piece of hardware for a device. Will that bigger horror game ever come to be? Guess, well have to wait and see
The original room BUCKSHOT ROULETTE took place was wayyy darker in the prototype Moving on to the game itself. The nightclub was supposed to feature a view of a large crowd dancing below, but this idea was scrapped to save time and besides isnt a hollow metal husk of a club with only you, The Dealer, and the Smoking Guy a more suitable place for whats about to happen?
Speaking of the Smoking Guy, for the initial itch.io release it was planned that he would follow the player into the room, before sitting on the chair and observing the game. Every time the player would die, the smoker dude could be seen sitting down again after reviving the player. However, once the final showdown arrived, the smoker dude would leave. This was also scrapped to save time. In earlier prototypes The Dealer also had a monologue where he explains the rules of the game. [spoiler]He also mentioned the prize money, and that if the player loses, their corpse will be sold for profit.[/spoiler] This monologue was removed so that there was less friction in getting into the game, since the rules of the game could easily be explained through short item descriptions and player interactions. Show, dont tell, you know. The Player always getting to go first also wasnt always the case. The first turn of the game was originally supposed to be decided by The Dealer spinning the shotgun, spin-the-bottle style The starting turn would go to whoever the barrel is pointing at. (Comment below if this is something you want to happen for Multiplayer mode, wink-wink.)
We dont have the animation for it, so well leave it to your imagination Speaking of game mechanics, there was one planned where the player could stack hand saws. Meaning they could saw off the barrel once, and then saw off the rest of the shotgun with a different hand saw, leaving only the receiver. This was scrapped mainly due to balance, but also to save time. And the hand saw itself used to have a much different look and animation. One key part of the first vision for the game was the player struggling to saw off the barrel with a large rusty hacksaw. The hacksaw was replaced with a foldable hand saw later in development so that all items could fit on the same grid. Well leave the possible animation for The Dealer to your imagination.
Original items line-up from the older prototype with the old hacksaw model The idea for heaven in the game was originally much more peaceful and less visceral. The player would have to interact with a person in the booth next to golden gates surrounded by clouds. The person would then ask the player whether or not he wants to try again, or go through the gates. This entire sequence felt very out of place when it came time to actually develop the scene, so it was changed to something that had more shock value and was a better fit to the rest of the games subtle lore.
Subtle lore in question The device that cuts the cables in the final showdown was planned to be a guillotine. The design was later changed though, since a guillotine seemed too simple and predictable. The ending of the game was originally planned to be an extended cutscene [spoiler]where the player would book it out of the club with the briefcase, enter their car, then look up to the rearview mirror and reveal only a blown-off head with a bit of spine sticking out - before it cut to black.[/spoiler] This was also scrapped mainly to save time. And lets top it off with a couple of ideas that were considered for post-itch.io launch but didnt make it into Buckshot. One of the features that was planned was an unlockable small synthesizer that could be found in the restrooms trash can. The synthesizer would have something like a 16-step sequencer that the player could program, and the melody would play after a round was won. This ended up not being developed as post-release needed features that were (and still are) more high priority. Please let us know if thats something you want to see, though. For the Steam release, initially an actual Double or Nothing unlocked cutscene was planned, that would show an engineer working on the disassembled table, with the new items being in a pile ready to be stocked inside the table. Thats all we have for today. Were planning to have a Q&A session with Mike sometime in the future, so stay tuned for that, and now back to the multiplayer grind! Wishing you the best of luck, High Rollers, Mike Klubnika, CR Channel & VLT dard Electrons

Greetings, High Rollers. Last week we half-jokingly said that were choosing to Double our sales of BUCKSHOT ROULETTE, but thanks to your dearly cherished support, it has become a reality: we have officially hit 1,000,000 copies sold on Steam! [previewyoutube=h_tyGlvtgok;full][/previewyoutube] Once again, we want to thank everyone who made this possible (you, to be precise). Both Mike and the CR Channel Crew will continue working hard to make BUCKSHOT ROULETTE the best it can be! And while the thrill of the night is still so enticing, we hope to one day Double the number of our players again. Also, you might remember Dr. Jewel (aka @juerucj on Twitter) the talented artist behind Buckshot Roulette's key art. Well, he went one step further making not only this art into live wallpaper but also its alternative version!

New Release Date Announcement
This hasnt been an easy decision for us, but we feel like we had to do it for a few reasons. Firstly, and most importantly we just need a little bit more time to polish the new features. We know that Miyamotos quote about rushed games being bad forever isnt really the case in 2024, but hey, we still think games should at least try to be done before shipping. Secondly, pushing back the Steam release also makes it possible for Mike to come to PAX East with us to showcase Buckshot Roulette and meet you guys all without having to crunch his ass off. And thats exactly what were trying to achieve here at CR Channel. We may have some more surprises waiting for you in the near future, and we hope theyll be worth the wait!

[previewyoutube=YnHq9F4jzcE;full][/previewyoutube] BUCKSHOT ROULETTE is a tabletop horror take on the infamous game of Russian Roulette with a proper 12-gauge pump-action shotgun. Live and blank shells are inserted into the chamber in a hidden sequence. Next take aim, (dont hesitate!) and pull the trigger. Many powerful beings entered this club before. Not a lot of them left.

At the top of a nightclub, smoke fills the room... blue and red shells skip across the bloody floor
[previewyoutube=YnHq9F4jzcE;full][/previewyoutube] BUCKSHOT ROULETTE is a tabletop horror take on the infamous game of Russian Roulette with a proper 12-gauge pump-action shotgun. Live and blank shells are inserted into the chamber in a hidden sequence. Next take aim, (dont hesitate!) and pull the trigger. Many powerful beings entered this club before. Not a lot of them left. As the metal railings tremble to the pulse of long-lost drum machines, a ruthless Dealer awaits you. Are you willing to play a deadly game of chance with them? Features:
- Pulse-pounding rounds with great replayability. Each run of BUCKSHOT ROULETTE takes approximately 15-20 minutes to beat and its unpredictable yet controllable outcomes will keep you coming back for more.
- Ruthless yet fair AI Dealer. The rules are simple. Anything you can do to him, he can do to you. Dont expect any mercy though, because hes playing for keeps.
- Double or Nothing mode. An endless game of chance with randomized health, item, and shell counts. A new record is always just one loop away.
- Achievements. Let the greed consume you as you chase the thrill of unlocking specific achievements.
- New Items. Discover unique items introduced with the Steam version, a special treat to those already familiar with the game.
