Paying the Tab - Patch 1.2.0 Release!
The latest patch for DEAD MANS HAND: Card Roulette Action is rolling into town. Weve got a long list of exciting new changes to introduce, so pull up a seat and have a look-see.
The biggest change coming in Patch 1.2 is an overhaul to the games presentation and interface. To help speed up the flow of gameplay, a players splash screen will now only play once per turn. We have also made significant changes to the gameplay screen, as shown below.
The goal with these changes is to make the gameplay elements easier to understand, as well as more visually pleasing to look at. Previously, players would cycle through the list of opponents when selecting their TARGET. Now, a new AIM button will bring down a lineup of the players in a new selection window. The players custom TRIGGER flair will also appear in these sequences if they have an Active card in the slot.
Additionally, players will notice new animations have been added for the SPIN and RELOAD cards. These will play as the cards are used. Finally, when aiming at their own character, new animations for the trigger pull sequence will play. Changes have also been made to the visual elements behind the characters during these scenes. We hope you will enjoy them.
The title now features a custom cursor shaped like the hands of the Frontier Units. This cursors appearance will reflect the color changes made to the units in the customization window. Additionally, the title now also features gamepad support with a simulated cursor controlled with user input.
As part of the updates to the user experience, a bounty window will now appear after a player is eliminated, asking if they would like to place a bounty on the player who eliminated them. The bounty window will also now remain active even during cutscenes, allowing players to continue interaction until their bounty is placed. As part of the 1.2 UI overhaul, the bounty board has been repositioned in the new game UI layout and will now properly remove bounties that have been claimed.
As of Patch 1.2, the in-game chat and options windows will remain interactive above cutscenes. Players may still cycle between chat messages and system messages.
One of the big changes coming to the game is increased payouts for players coming out of each match. In the original release of DEAD MANS HAND, winners of a game would receive 5 FC per total player in the game, and every player received 1 FC per turn survived.
In Patch 1.2, players will now receive FC for a myriad of reasons, with the total payout tabulated at the end of the game or when they are eliminated. Some of the new ways to earn FC include:
Two additional cards have been added to the game. They will appear in standard play as of Patch 1.2. LAWSUIT - TRIGGER - Receive HOLDERs hand when you are chosen as their TARGET. INHERIT - TRIGGER - Receive TARGETs hand when they are eliminated by your bullet.
Additional color options have been added to the customization screen.
A new window for Code Redemption has been added to the main menu. Patrons may now enter a code in this window to receive special promotional bonuses and rewards. As a thank you for reading this update and so that you might test this new feature out, enter the code PAYOUT in the redemption window to receive 500 FC, courtesy of the HEAVEN CORPORATION. Please keep in mind that some codes may only be available for a limited time. Stay tuned for additional codes in the future.
The in-game feedback form now has word-wrap enabled, making it easier to submit reports.
Thats all for this edition of Wild Frontier news. You can find an itemized summary of all the 1.2.0 patch notes below. Until next time, this is the staff at the DEAD MANS HAND Saloon signing off!

Dead Man’s Hand is a 2-8 player party game that combines the classic game of Russian Roulette with the unpredictable nature of card games. At the start of each round, each player draws a card. After the cards are dealt, one random player gets a turn as the Holder. During their turn as the Holder, they may use any cards they have collected to influence the flow of the game. To finish their turn, the Holder chooses a Target to shoot. If the Target survives the ordeal, they get to draw an extra card and the weapon is passed to the next player. The round ends when a bullet is fired, and the survivors go on to the next round.
Will you be a winner? Or will the next Dead Man’s Hand… be yours?
Welcome to Dead Man’s Hand Saloon. Situated on the edge of the wild frontier, our clientele come from all over to partake in our unique offerings of libations and entertainment. Of course, most are here for one reason in particular— the very game that is our namesake. Step on into our back room and see for yourself. Just be careful if you decide to play— the next Dead Man’s Hand might be yours.
Dead Man’s Hand features a deck of cards that can be used to change the flow of the game. One card is drawn by every player at the start of a new round. Players who survive being targeted also draw one card after being fired upon.
Should you shoot yourself and try to get an extra card, or should you choose someone else and try to eliminate them? Decisions like these will determine the outcome of the game. Just remember…
Only One Player Can Win Dead Man’s hand!
