One more hotfix before heading to bed! (that's update day for you...)

[h2]Full Changelog:[/h2]
- Fixed an issue where some potions weren’t showing up in rewards due to RNG logic.

All potions should appear during rewards correctly now, so it’s the perfect time to fill out your Codex!
Thanks again for your patience, and as always, thank you for playing!

We got some reports of certain saves not loading correctly after the last update. It looks like the bug was caused by some changes to the map generation introduced recently. Loading should be working as expected now.

[h2]Full Changelog:[/h2]
- Fixed an issue preventing some save files from loading.
- Modified the unlock sprite for the Potion Mimic companion.

Sorry for the issues, and thank you for playing!

Hello everyone!

A new update just dropped, and it brings a brand-new mechanic: Potions!
Let’s take a look at how they work:

[h2]🧪 Potions 101[/h2]



Potions are consumable items that trigger immediate effects during battle. When used, they roll a set of dice and apply effects based on the result. Sometimes, you'll need to reach or exceed a specific value for the effect to succeed.

Just like relics, potions come in different rarities, the rarer the potion, the stronger (and sometimes riskier!) the effect. A special line of high-powered potions, called Super Potions, can be earned only after boss battles. You’ll get just two per run, so use them wisely!

Wondering where to find potions? You might come across them after battles, and rumor has it the shop has some new stock, too! Save up your coins, you never know when an extra block might save your run!

We’re hosting two special events to celebrate this update in our Discord server, come join us and participate!

[h2]🎉 Meet Us at Guadalindie 2025[/h2]

We’ll be attending Guadalindie 2025 next week! If you’re near Málaga, Spain on the weekend of May 16th, come say hi. We’ll have exclusive Die in the Dungeon merch available!

We’ll be showcasing the game to new players, but for the veterans… a sneak peek at Endless Mode might be waiting for you 👀

[h2]📅 What’s Next?[/h2]

The next major update will be all about Endless Mode: a new way to play Die in the Dungeon, featuring unique challenges and a more arcade experience. More details soon!

Also, Controller Support testing starts this week! We want to make sure all functionality is ready before releasing it to the public, and that's why we took some extra time to make sure the new potion UI was working correctly. We’ll share a post soon with instructions on how to try it on the beta branch.



And finally, our fearless new hire, the Frog Reporter, will be back this month with juicy news and exclusive footage! This time, by popular demand, we’ll also include a text recap of the video with all the important information, perfect for those who prefer reading over watching. Make sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel so you don’t miss it!

That’s all for now! Enjoy the new update and see you next week! 🧪✨
