• Implemented a rolling save system. This means the game continously generates backups of your save system. Should Steam Cloud act up, your PC crash or your power go out - then your save file should be backed up locally. We\'re extremely sorry to anyone that lost their save file.

• Moved \"Pocket Change\" to the middle of the skill tree to make it more impactful and give more options at the beginning.

  [/*]

• Moved \"Overtake\" to the middle of the skill tree to make it more impactful and give more options at the beginning.

• Rotten Table now only accounts for purchased helpers and coins. The starting coin does not add to the count, meaning \"Pocket Change\" no longer affects it.

Hey there! Sven (greenpixels) here.\nI\'m the programmer for Gamblers Table and one of the two people that work on Gamblers Table.\n\nFirst of all, thank you so much for using the feedback form to such an extend. We\'re blown away. Almost 700 of you shared their opinions, suggestions and ideas. And its super interesting to read them all.

I\'d love to go over some of the data and talk about it with you. If this doesn\'t interest you, totally fair! You can skip ahead to \"Changelog\".

Your Feedback

\"Have you played the demo?\"

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45599374/a54d8a5c72ea0ab27bfd4610111e7f0f25e4e370.png\"][/img]

\"Woah, a ton of you have played the demo! And even 25% percent say they completed it, which is bonkers! The reason we included the question about the demo is because we wanted to know whether the people that played the demo are more negatively positioned towards the release than the ones that haven\'t played it - and that does seem to be the case.

We have understood that especially for these of you, the release of Gamblers Table felt underwhelming. When we developed the game and had people play test it, we genuinely thought the additions we made were fun and plenty for a release.

We spent a lot of time thinking about synergies between skills and created polished assets in order to have a visual and meaningful change to game play rather than just a flat number increases. We wanted Gamblers Table to have builds and strategy, but also present the skills in a visually appealing way.

Oxidized coins, visitors, rockets, muscle helpers, burning cursors, intense auras, the thief and more - all of which have distinct visuals. But in retro perspective, we of course understand that by having fewer skills, even when they are more visually polished, the interval between skill points ended up much too long, which does not very much align with the spirit of typical incremental games and makes it feel too long and grindy. (Except when you played oxidized copper coins when it was still 10.000x, but we don\'t talk about that here - whoops)\"

\"How did you like the length of the full game?\"

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45599374/0830e1270bbf1c443a1b4259fba346a050f568bf.png\"][/img]

\"This graph (and most of the feedback) indicates that the game was too short - but ... also too long for a lot. And I think the graph being so split is displaying one of the biggest issues of Gamblers Table as most of you have correctly pointed out.

Gamblers Table is trying to be both an incremental game, but also an idle game - which is super challenging in terms of balancing. The people that are used to idle games expected way, waaaay, waaaaaaaaay more play time - we had several answers where people had the game running for 60 hours and then told us the game was too short. But we also had a lot of people play for 4 hours, saying that the skills are way too far apart and the game ends up too long.

We\'re still actively talking about how to best remedy this, but we do have some ideas - and you added tons of great ideas aswell. Thanks!\"\n

\"Did you leave a review?\"

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45599374/1bb653b9a35787d6c00861cd4ca66d2ac1b20a59.png\"][/img]

\"Initially when I saw this, I was super shocked. Not about the little amount of negative reviews in the form - that was expected due to survivor bias - but rather about the amount of people that haven\'t left a review at all. I was super pouty at first, but then my wife looked me straight in the face and said \"When was the last time YOU left a review on Amazon or anything like that?\" ... And yeah ... She is right.

Wanting to have your game reviewed is just a natural thing as a game developer on Steam I suppose. But this feedback form was a reality check and made perfectly clear that most people likely won\'t - and that it\'s totally normal and fine!\"

\"What are your suggestions for changes and updates?\"

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45599374/0dd6f6497fbcb30b2426641c5e655a4367951149.png\"][/img]

\"This is the section most dearest to me. So many thoughtful, constructive and great answers that genuinely communicated their interest in the game, that they feel very strongly about Gamblers Table and want what is best for the project. As to not leak any personal information I will not share them directly, but this is just a wonderful source for ideas that you will see reflected in todays and upcoming patch notes.

Thank you everyone for letting us know - and we heard you! Below are the change logs from the most recent patch.\"

Patch Notes

Changes:

• \"Guided Launch\" can now trigger Thief and Visitors, which should improve the idle experience and balance out the discrepancy between active gameplay and idle gameplay just a little. Whether thief is triggered by rocket can be configured in your Tactics tab.

  [/*]

• Your tactic configurations in the Tactics tabs will now be persisted and remain across restarts and sacrifices. You no longer have to readjust everything on startup. This one seems so obvious it almost hurts, sorry about that.

  [/*]

• The buff window starts much, much smaller now, giving more room for shop items. The dragger between the shop and the buff window is also much more apparent now and better indicates that you can resize the two, since most of you didn\'t notice it existed. (Did you?)

  [/*]

• Hats can now be sorted alphabetically and by rarity

  [/*]

• Hats now indicate their rarity by having their names colour coded

  [/*]

• Hats added through the steam workshop have the steam logo in the background to better separate them from common hats

  [/*]

• The search input and other controls in the hat configuration are now fixed at the top, no matter how far you scroll down

  [/*]

• There are now additional sound settings to specifically highlight hint sounds (Visitor, gaining a skill point or the thief spawning)

  [/*]

• Removed the \"hide cursor\" option so lost souls may hopefully return again.

  [/*]

• Changed the look of check boxes so they are more apparent.

  [/*]

• Helper Focus now correctly displays that it adds \"+5\" to ALL coins instead of just copper coins.

  [/*]

• Reduced Oxidation to 1000x. Yes we know, it has almost gotten to the point of an inside joke that we keep reducing it ... candywhat And we know that just reducing it is not the perfect solution. Its just the quickest solution for now while we are back at the drawing board.

  [/*]

• Changed the description of \"Missile\" so it no longer mentions \"Helper\", as Missiles are not affected by Community or other buffs related to Helper. After all, does it really look like the helper on top of it is in control of that situation?

  [/*]

Fixes

• The game cursor no longer moves while the game window is not focused.

  [/*]

• Connected game pad controllers no longer move your actual computer mouse cursor while the game is not focused.

  [/*]

• The capsule machine now correctly scales its volume to the \"Soundeffect\" slider

  [/*]

• Fixed some potential causes for crashes, including not using exclusive fullscreen.

  [/*]

• Fixed an issue in which the tooltips of skills that unlock an item in the shop would not display what the shop item actually does

  [/*]

• Fixed some issues specific to steam deck like not being able to open some links, send mails and so on. But mostly by not displaying these options as the steam deck does not have a default mail client.

  [/*]

Planned

These changes didn\'t make it in yet, but I\'m at it! brownchicken

• \\[PLANNED] \"Guided Launch\" triggers sleeping helpers

  [/*]

• \\[PLANNED] It should be possible to \"drag to scroll\" in the screen with the capsule machines

  [/*]

• \\[PLANNED] Improve the stat screen by increasing the interval in which an average is calculated

  [/*]

• \\[PLANNED] Add a tactic for \"Lucky Echo\"

  [/*]

• \\[PLANNED] Add a tactic for \"Sticky\"

  [/*]

There is lots more of your feedback lined up that will make it into upcoming patches. Thanks again!\n

Community Spotlight

Being part of a game that enough players are interested in to warrant a community spotlight is just nuts and a dream come true, honestly. It\'s an honor to display the super cool things all of you have created!

We begin with a wonderful guide by the user Windoki, explaining how to add your own hats to Gamblers Table. Such a cool and well written guide, have a look!

[dynamiclink href=\"https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3644977336\"][/dynamiclink]

Using the built-in workshop upload tool, you could upload wonderful hats like these!

(This is a selection of some of the ones I really like, in no specific order - but there are tons more of super cool hats in the Steam Workshop!)

Hi Gamblers!

We are currently looking for feedback on Gamblers Table. The recent reviews have been rather negative and we\'re trying to figure out on how to best improve from here on out.

We created a little feedback form that we would love you to take a look at.

This is our first commercial Steam release and we believe that listening to the community feedback is the best direction forward. You can write down any ideas, issues, suggestions and feedback.

You can fill it out here:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf844vDLna7xgQbTE57gLiHtx-TpWNG6S0rIm025P-YxioXJg/viewform?usp=dialog

Hello everyone! Gamblers Table just hit over 9000 concurrent players, which is ... just incredible. Thank you so much for playing our game and sharing all your feedback, kind words and ideas with us!

At the moment, we are trying to fix all sorts of little problems and bugs that you guys encountered and reported. Here is a quick overview of some of the latest changes:

• We uploaded a first balance patch that adjusted some overpowered builds (oxidation) and buffed the weaker ones

  [/*]

• The Visitor now has a prominent effect around it to make him much easier to spot on a cluttered screen

  [/*]

• Fixed a problem that prevented some achievements from being unlocked

  [/*]

• Fixed silver coins not being triggered by platinum coins

  [/*]

• Fixed a game crashing bug

  [/*]

• Advanced audio settings are coming in an upcoming patch as well, so you can specifically reduce the sound of coins

  [/*]

• Right now, we are focused on fixing an issue regarding cloud saving that can lead to save files being lost. We have already contacted the Steam Support and are waiting on their response. If you are affected by this, please contact me privately and I\'ll recreate your save file to the best of my abilities. We are incredibly sorry about this!

  [/*]

Besides that, we are collecting all your suggestions for new features, quality of life improvements and balance changes and will try to implement as many as possible. Please keep them coming!

We\'ve received so much amazing feedback via discord and steam and we already surpassed 300 reviews which is an absolutely incredible amount! If you haven\'t yet reviewed Gamblers Table on Steam, you can https://store.steampowered.com/app/3618390/Gamblers_Table/#app_reviews_hash\"" style="color:#bb86fc;text-decoration:none;">review it here . It is the best way to support the development of the game and would really make a difference to us! Lets go for the 400!

Lastly I would like to stress that we are extremely grateful to everyone who joined this community, played the game, uploaded their own cool hats and is just part of all of this. The last two days have been absolutely insane! If there is still anything unanswered, you can always post in the community hub or talk directly to us via discord and we\'ll try to respond as fast as we can!

Thank you all so much!

• Some people were experiencing crashes late into the game. I may have identified a possible issue and hope that this resolves the problem for the people affected. Please let me know.

  [/*]

• This change should also improve performance in the later stages of the game

  [/*]

• Applied a change that should hopefully resolve issues with cloud saving. Let me know if you run into any issues. Remember that you can always additionally save your savefile to a text file via the options menu to back it up - aswell as load it from there

  [/*]

• A lot of you were frustrated about \"Oxidation\" being way too overpowered and we heard you. The multiplier of \"Oxidation\" has been set to 3000

  [/*]

• We have also reduced the requirement needed for skill points as a lot of you rightfully mentioned that it takes too long

  [/*]

• Fixed several bugs regarding jittery popups and notifications

  [/*]

• Updated localization and fixed some translation issues

  [/*]

• Fixed a bug in which the achievement \"Building an army\" was given at 16 helpers instead of 15 helpers

  [/*]

Thank to you everyone that has been reporting issues on our discord. We will keep trying to improve the game based on your suggestions. If you feel the balancing is still of or something feels amiss, then please feel free to let us know via mail, discord or the steam discussions. Thank you and keep flippin\'!

Gamblers Table has just released!

We are super thankful to all the feedback, suggestions, bug-reports, ideas, playtesters and demo-players we\'ve gotten over this past exciting year.

In case you already played the demo, you can import your progress but we highly recommend to start a new game because we updated the early-mid game with new skills and you would just skip a lot of that new content by importing your save file.

Speaking of demo, let\'s go over some of the changes and differences you can expect in comparison to the demo version. We\'ve also added some new changes that we\'ll announce here.

Several new tables with new effects\n\n[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45599374/7427d50e28c9475450a8b076bf64f6e33c4d7bcb.png\"][/img][img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45599374/e19a1502ae069b25d3dc9232ca19146a959a9b35.png\"][/img][img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45599374/31118f29633abd714ab92556bdea36f2a71bc887.png\"][/img][img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45599374/e8e1af8f7c164df943a28fd4cb1706c39ac313f9.png\"][/img]

... and more!

New upgrades and a way bigger skill tree with much more potential for finding custom and exciting builds

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45599374/5409f94ccd43ac324ad670c84c21fc7494038680.gif\"][/img]

Way more cool hats! (+ Modding)

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45599374/8b6ddf954802899d33a2640ea93cf4d268a6080b.gif\"][/img]

... and even [u]modding support[/u] to easily upload custom hats to the steam workshop [u]from inside the game![/u]

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45599374/5b95d257263399f053a76bdf3c9dba97319a2f25.png\"][/img]

Release Date

Hello everyone! Both Tim (Bossforge) and I have been working day and night for the last months and are excited to finally share some huge news:

... Gamblers Table will officially release on the [u]11th of January 2026[/u]!

Let\'s go over what exactly will await you in the release of Gamblers Table:

• A way bigger skill tree with skills that synergies with each other!

  [/*]

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45599374/bc3f8ea6fbd7caac3d5b3cd8e110b2688e681055.png\"][/img]

• Unlockable tables that have different effects catering to different play styles!

  [/*]

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45599374/8b373423deafef493a5ce549ec068d26f02c9b98.png\"][/img]

• New coins that come with new upgrades and new skills in the skill tree!

  [/*]

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45599374/e6544839fb54b621f1f331b588edc58d5c749887.png\"][/img]

• The ability to micromanage what skills trigger what coins in the tactics tab!

  [/*]

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45599374/8b842d200ad5f7b7b23f39d55e00fd9de6ae32d1.png\"][/img]

• Hat capsule machines! These machines give you tons of cool hats to customize your helpers - in exchange for skull tokens, which can be gathered by failing a flip (landing on the skull side)

  [/*]

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45599374/0ad8dd3fc994f21605c9287f1d1d66fd3c7bd4a4.png\"][/img][img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45599374/3e8b23b67017ab7e6e941e05ee49d80fc2646383.png\"][/img]

• Steam achievements! I myself am a little achievement hunter sometimes, so I always love when games have some!

  [/*]

• ... and tons of quality of life features - based on your suggestions from the discord and the playtests! We really tried to polish what we thought made the demo special and give you just more of that.

  [/*]

Demo Update

But wait, there is even more news!

We believe that a demo should closely resemble the quality of the full game. For that reason we have not only added every single quality of life feature from the main game to the demo version aswell, but also added the new hat machines to the demo version! So you can now already unlock some hats and have your dudes look cool no matter what version you play!

BUT WAIT WAIT, THERE IS EVEN MORE NEWS!

We have also added achievements to the demo version!

AND ALSO - we made sure to integrate your save file from the demo fluently into the full version. If you buy the full version, you can just continue from where you left off (you just have to re-assign the points in your skill tree).

However, please note that [u]we recommend resetting your progress[/u] in the full release nonetheless - to have superior experience of the game. The early game in the full game is significantly different and (in our opinion) way more interesting than in the demo. If you\'ve already grinded up an insane amount of money in the demo you may accidentally skip a lot of fun content from the full game.

Here is a little change log of what exactly has been changed in the demo version:

• Improved several animations, graphics and icons in the game

  [/*]

• Added new configuration options to the tactics tab

  [/*]

• Improved tooltips by adding more explanations, as well as have keywords be accompanied by icons

  [/*]

• Added skull tokens and two hat machines

  [/*]

• Added a hat management tab in the right sidebar to equip and unequip hats

  [/*]

• Reworked the achievements tab

  [/*]

• Integrated steam achievements to the demo

  [/*]

• Added upgrade to flip silver coins by hovering

  [/*]

• Added upgrade to flip gold coins by hovering

  [/*]

• Added option to hold CTRL to mass-purchase from the shop

  [/*]

• Upgraded the Godot version to improve stability on linux operating systems

  [/*]

• Added a speed scale accessibility option to the options menu

  [/*]

We believe these changes make for a much better demo. If you have any feedback or troubles, let us know what you think via our discord, mail or the steam community!

Hey there!\nWelcome to the October update for the development progress of Gamblers Table.

In this update post I\'d like to go over some new cool features, new gameplay elements and more UI and QoL improvements,

FAQ

I\'d also like to use this platform to answer some frequently asked questions we have received over the past months, so lets start with that!

Hey everybody!

Its been a while since we shared our progress, so we are happy to finally give you an update on what we have been working on!

First of all, Im proud to show off the current talent tree. We added 10(!) new talents so far, which brings the current total to 19, more than twice the amount of the Demo!

I dont want to spoil them all already, so you can speculate a bit based on the icons. Lets take a look at only two of the new talents for now.

The first is one of the most suggested talents from the community, oxidizing copper coins. When you dont interact with copper coins for a while they start to oxidize and then grant bonus money when you ultimately flip them.

The second one has been super fun to animate and made me laugh a few times^^

you vs. the guy she told you not to worry about:[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45599374/5409f94ccd43ac324ad670c84c21fc7494038680.gif\"][/img]

We have also been sharing some very early work in progress screenshots of a new thief-helper and the table select mechanic on our Discord. If you would like to see stuff early or want to suggest ideas for new talents, wed love to have you join the Gamblers Table Discord ! But well of course also show the new features here once they are a little more polished.

Lastly, we have reached a new milestone: We surpassed 50k Wishlists, mainly due to a huge influx of Japanese players. It seems like a bunch of Japanese influencers discovered Gamblers Table and played it on their channels. Thank you all for playing and covering Gamblers Table and for wishlisting and for following the development!

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45599374/5d021ca52754244644a119cfc8d34a20636afa5c.gif\"][/img]

Hey there!

As of until now, I was really displeased with the UI in Gamblers Table. Depending on what language you selected it could happen that text was not properly aligned, overflowed or was down-right impossible to read. Speaking of \"impossible to read\" - on small devices it was just that - impossible to read. Sadly, the engine I am working with has no native functionality to easily scale text at runtime across all UI components. But I was determined to make it happen nonetheless.

So lets dive right in.

Accessibility

Keeping up the momentum from last update I\'ve now worked on more accessibility features.

Text Scaling

As I said in the beginning, reading the text on the steam deck, mobile or literally any screen that is not \"Ultra-Wide-Super-Duper-Mega-Big-Screen\"-size was kind of hard. The game now starts with bigger text to begin with and you also have an option to increase it. (or decrease it, if you liked the previous size more)

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45599374/d2b2d1c47d4722948d12970621099f81d7cd9344.gif\"][/img]

Button Size

Most the buttons in the game have now increased in size by approx. 150%. It was just honestly really hard to click them on smaller devices.

Better Tabs

So if you watch the GIF above in \"Text Scaling\" you can see that the tabs in both the option menu and the shop jump into the next line. This was previously not the case. Instead the buttons would just disappear into the void and you had to click an extremely itsy bitsy small \">\"-icon to navigate them.

This was not an issue for western languages, but especially for languages with a lot of characters that easily surpassed the width of the sidebar itself. This is now fixed.

Better Explanations

We received feedback that its not super clear what Sacrificing even does - and some skills could do with better explanations.

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45599374/66153deacddc1ad63cef6b7612bf721413cd1c29.png\"][/img]

Sacrifing no longer requires you to hold the sacrifice button. Instead, a popup opens explaing what exactly is going to happen. Admittedly this does not look super fancy and requires more polish, but that is something for upcoming updates. Having UI elements that require you to hold them can be an issue for people with motor impairments, muscle weakness, tremors, joint pain, or certain neurological conditions that make sustained pressure hard.

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45599374/f9f5194617454cdc4c088fbd3522aad7ce6f8ce6.png\"][/img]

It wasn\'t quite clear what \"Sticky\" really does and it sounded stronger than it actually was. It now better reflects it actual functionality, as it only triggers on-click and not when a helper, reflip or shockwave flips it.

There are upgrades?!?

You\'d be surprised (or maybe not, surprise!) that a lot of players play the game for hours without ever buying a single upgrade. But not on purpse. Apparently it was that easy to miss ... I hope that the text scaling mitigates that issue at least a little. But to be very sure, the sidebar tabs now blink until you click them at least once.

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45599374/d1895f3a03ff2613141b8f169fc5998c8d5f2e5a.gif\"][/img]

Speaking of blinking ...

We\'ve had some feedback regarding the wishlist button in the game. It kept blinking ... and blinking. Which totally distracted a lot of you. Sorry about that.

That wishlist button (as dumb as this may sound) is extremely important to us. Back when Gamblers Table was only available via Web it got stolen over and over again and being reuploaded to other pages and generated ad revenue for the thieves without us ever knowing.

Having this wishlist button was our only saving grace, because no matter how often it got stolen - this button always brought anyone playing back to our steam page! And we could see that it worked.

But having it blink all the time really is a tad excessive. So now it no longer does that and sits quietly and statically in the corner.

For anyone wanting us to completely remove it:

Sorry, but wishlists are super, duper important for small games like ours. Amount of wishlists is that magic number that steam uses to determine if you\'re in the charts or being sent to the shadow realm. The final release will of course not have it, but the demo will continue to feature the button. Thank you for understanding.

UI Changes

You may have noticed that the sidebar looks a little different now. That is because it underwent some major changes. Lets take a look.

Drag to arrange

We\'ve gotten the feedback that some of you would like to see more of the shop, but also some of you wanted to see more of other things. You decide now! You can drag the separator in the sidebar to adjust how much of which you want to see.

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45599374/25d41edb1ebed36afa70adfab3c883ae74804d7c.gif\"][/img]

Tactics

Looking at the GIF above, you can see that there is a new tab \"Tactics\". Before, the \"Helper Focus\" configuration was cramped into the lower sidebar window together with the buffs. The \"Helper Focus\" configuration has now moved into the \"Tactics\" tab instead.

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45599374/2a7f3cacf30443753ee61a98c20df1982d68eb76.png\"][/img]

There is also a new achievement for clicking that bad boy. As we have learned previously - not everyone clicks those! So wear that fish head with pride and joy.

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45599374/4e0c0454b346129170918f25be4208e4feb7326c.png\"][/img]

Shop Item Buttons

The buttons to buy weren\'t really great. They had their information really cramped and their text didn\'t break that well if it was too long. Now the amount you have is tidied up in the lower right corner.

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45599374/2ed7221ac516e96aa5a57d0572382ac2c3263070.png\"][/img]

Stats Tree

Okay, so this one is really cool. So many of you wanted a \"X per second\" display. Here it is! I\'ve completly reworked the stats tab and will now show you the money generated by every coin split up into the sources. You also get a cool bar chart to see what performs the best out of the sources!

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45599374/fc648115324b3a787209610cd770e0c98995135a.png\"][/img]

Anyways ...

I could continue on and on about other smaller changes I did. Some wording here and there.

But lets look at some stuff awaiting you in the final release!

Those are some of the new skills you will find in the skill tree of the release version. Would love your guesses on what you think what they do! My favorite is the helper on a rocket ... Wonder what that is about ...

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45599374/b2f8c52c66e79d43d4d8a7d1ef1d92c6937c8ec2.png\"][/img]

We regularly post images like that on our discord in the #progress-channel. Feel free to join!

I\'ve made it my personal mission to greet each and every single one of you with a HI-reaction.

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45599374/fcb999570c12743cc3770899f1f4d73ada2fda9b.gif\"][/img]

Thank you for playing!

Hey there!\nThe demo seems to be doing well. Seeing your discord messages, mails, reviews, blog posts, videos ... it is super exciting and we could not be happier. We\'ve just reached 40.000 wishlists! As a team of just two, we did not expect for things to go the way they\'re currently going. We both truly appreciate it, thank you.

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45599374/a3c231fad07e4ccb6c6851e6ed0f26430986a51f.gif\"][/img]\n\nI\'ve got some exciting new to share. Among some quality of life changes, bug fixes and performance improvements I\'ve also worked on some other things that I\'d love to share with you - so let\'s break it down.

Accessibility

Gamblers Table initially only released as a prototype on itch.io back in march. It had no audio settings and the most received feedback was for a way to turn off the sound. Those are settings that normally get prioritized when developing games, so I immediately patched it in.

But among other feedback we\'ve also gotten a lot of requests regarding the amount of clicking. While \"Quick Flip\" alleviated some issues, players that had genuine wrist problems would still struggle to play the game overall. But for obvious reasons we concentrated on working in more content first.\n\nI myself also struggle with a pained wrist due to a sport incident, so it was a very dear topic to me that I want to eventually extend the options of Gamblers Table by a palette of accessibility options.

So now I finally got around to add the first set of accessibility options for the game.

Automatic clicking

You can toggle an option that automatically flips coins at your cursor every second. For some reason the image is way slower than what it actually looks like, but you get the idea.

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45599374/0832fe5fb27c48c1a2c3c8a92d460178fcd64258.gif\"][/img]

Cursor Size

In the midst of all the flashy effects (which is a topic for maybe another accessibility option) you sometimes lose track of your cursor. Being able to adjust the size is one of the options in the game.

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45599374/9c6439b208fd994a85e9189cd261e51b202570a2.png\"][/img]

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45599374/1974f5da36dc3b9be7aab76f1e1e1b38abdd478e.png\"][/img]

Cursor Color

Following up on the previous point, you can now also adjust the color of your cursor. This also changes the color of the 1-second indicator of the auto-clicker option of you have that enabled.

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45599374/93a94b63c88048cb67d9f25faa5b51a34204800b.png\"][/img]

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45599374/55872d5cb9e1ba730d3f7c8e92c6763ed855cf9a.png\"][/img]

These are the first changes that made it into the demo and will also be present in the final release. But why stop there? As mentioned above, reducing the visual explosion fest that Gamblers Table naturally is should also be a toggle. I\'d also love to add an option to increase the text size, but that is an issue that sadly needs a little more effort and will be included in future updates.

Quality of Life

As a gamer, the annoying part of playing a demo, prototype or early access game is that often they are missing some key quality of life features that seasoned games already contain. That is just a natural, as the earlier game versions need to flesh out their content first - Gamblers Table not being an exception.

But now that the demo has launched I was finally able to work in some of your suggestions (pst, join the discord!) and ideas

Skill Tree meets Drag Movement

A lot of people were wondering why only the middle mouse button moves the skill tree. And that is a valid question - but no more! Both either holding left click or right click while dragging the mouse now moves the skill tree.

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45599374/3d8d66bb20598163acbf3520342044d6121174c3.gif\"][/img]

When are we there?

Gaining progress is good and all - but it would be nice what that progress even relates to. 50% of what? Meters? Kilos? Cheese? The skill tree button so far may have shown that you are half-way there toward your next skill tree point, but didn\'t give any further information. Now, hovering the skill tree button tells you how much of what.

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45599374/5695e36657fb3d77a65f6db6ad1ccf648475ec9b.png\"][/img]

\"I\'ve played 23467829349878923 seconds!\"

So ... divided by 60 ... is ... and then divided by 60 ... wait how much again? I had the bright idea that the playtime should be displayed as seconds. That just didn\'t make any sense at all. No further explanation needed, its now hours and minutes.

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45599374/ec91a7f4846bb4ef147074b4ae149eb0adc75e09.png\"][/img]

Upcoming

The demo also contains some hidden customization where you can overwrite the image of your cursor or the tablecloth in the middle, but I\'ll talk more about that when I\'ve added the option to add your own hats into the game.

I\'d also like to replace the money source information in the info tab with money/sec displays. So instead of accumulating the total value that a gold coin netted you it will instead show the money it netted you in the last X seconds. This should better indicate your progress and the speed at which things are going on.

There is just so much more to talk about it, but lets wrap it up for today and keep some for the next posts.\n

Thank your for playing Gamblers Table!

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45599374/16f5905677a6cab014787a08cab820693b5fc2f4.gif\"][/img]

And finally, let me share some visuals of new features:

As I mentioned above, you can now customize your table cloth, Greenpixels recorded a short video explaining the feature. We have already seen some really fun community designs in our discord!

This is the first glimpse at the underlying lore of the game, its the animation that plays when players reset the game to start a new prestige run

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45599374/317bca44565794bef0342f5fe24c03e8856c7603.gif\"][/img]

And here are two GIFs of upcoming mechanics (they are still work in progress and wont be in the demo though), nothing out of the ordinary, just what you would expect from a game about flipping coins:

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45599374/d9bbb357af13be51281435f1332698ce1886c7ed.gif\"][/img]

Just as last time we would like to share some development updates. First, we have been working on Steamdeck support:

Due to popular request, here is a very early screenshot of our Achievement System:

And lastly, we have been working on twitch chat integration. If a streamer plays the game, he can have his helpers be named after viewers and have them randomly say stuff from the chat:

All these features came from community suggestions. If you also want to participate in the development and share your ideas with us, wed love to hear them! You can either post on the Steam community hub or join our Discord via this *Link* .

And lastly, if you havent played the prototype yet, you can still try it for free on itch: *Link*

Hey everyone, we reached our first big milestone! Its been less than 3 weeks and we already made it to 10k Wishlists! Thank you all so much! We would have never guessed that so many people would be interested in our little incremental game.

As a thank you I wanted to share some GIFs of what we are working on for the full version of the game:

We added hats so you can better distinguish your little helpers from now on

New types of coins, of course

And some new animations

In case you have found the game on steam and havend played the prototype yet, you can still try it for free on itch: Link

Thanks again for the support, we really appreciate it!

Hi everyone,

We are excited to announce that Gamblers Table will be coming to Steam!

First, let us give you a quick rundown of who we are and where the idea for Gamblers Table came from. We are Greenpixels and Bossforge, a team of two hobbyist indie devs from Germany. Earlier this year we wanted to work on just a small prototype together and set ourselves a deadline of 3 weeks. Since we are both fans of incremental games the choice of genre was easy and the idea for Gamblers Table was born.


About 6 weeks ago we published the finished prototype on itch.io. We didnt expect more than a handful of players to try the game but then the game started trending and ended up on #1 of the New&Popular category with thousands of daily players. We have been absolutely overwhelmed by all the great feedback and ideas that we received from all of you, thank you all so much!
Due to the amazing reception, we are going to turn the prototype into a fully fleshed out Steam game now! Here is a quick rundown of what additional features and changes we have planned for the full version:

-Significantly longer playtime
-More coin types
-Better income statistics
-Coins that interact with the board in more interesting ways
-Controlling in which direction a coin flies when flipping it
-Controlling which types of coins the automation helpers will flip
-In general, more interactions with the helpers
-Customization for the helpers (hats)
-Upgrades that change the table
-Better sound effects
-Ascencion/Prestige system
-Talent tree
-More clarity about when and how upgrades unlock
-Achievements

Most of these additions come from player feedback. If you have any ideas or wishes for the full game, we would love to know! If you didnt have a chance to play it, the prototype is still available on itch.io , go check it out and let us know what you think :)


So, whats next? We will be working on the full game and post regular updates here on the Steam community hub. There will also be a Steam demo with most of the final features closer to release. If you click the follow button, youll be notified whenever we post and when the demo goes live.
