One more week

Hi! I really hate to do this, but I’ve decided to push v0.11 of Dicey Dungeons back by another week. That means I’m now aiming for the 3rd of August. I should have done this last night, but I really wanted to keep to the schedule. I’m sorry. 🙁

The new version is an absolutely huge tech overhaul. We’re totally ditching the old pixel art canvas approach and we’re using 4K art everywhere. Getting this to work has been no small thing, and, if I’m honest, has been something of a learning process for me – it’s not something I’ve ever really done before.

I have a version of the game that more or less works, but it still has some pretty serious tech issues, and I’m very uncomfortable releasing it like this. So, I wanna take another week. Do it right. I think making the game as good as it can be is more important than sticking to what’s ultimately a pretty arbitrary schedule.

I’ve been stressing about this a lot! I’m really sorry! I’m really excited to share it next week!

Edit: Hey. This is taking way, way longer than I expected. I’m basically working flat out to get this finished, but I don’t know when that’s going to be. As soon as I possibly can, is all I can say right now. Thanks for your patience <3

Dicey Dungeons v0.11 delayed a week

Hey! Just to let you all know, I’ve decided to push the next version of Dicey Dungeons back a week. This means that the next build, v0.11, will be coming out on the 27th of July instead of the 20th.

I obviously hate doing this – delaying a build is basically a last resort, and this is only the second time since March that I’ve done it. But this is a big, important update, and I don’t want to rush it. I appreciate your patience!

Also, gosh, I’ve been terrible about keeping this blog post up to date! Here’s a recent catch up of Dicey Dungeons related stuff:

  • I finally announced the team! The final version of Dicey Dungeons will feature art by Marlowe Dobbe, and music by Chipzel. The next update is all about finally getting their work into the game, which I’m very excited about.
  • Now that things are getting closer to completion, I’ve stopped releasing alphas for free. However! Alpha versions are still available on itch.io! Buying the game on itch gets you access to the newest alphas, as well as a copy of the finished game.
  • v0.10 is out! This one introduces the fifth character, the Robot!
  • Got a steam page too! Coming soon!
