Devlog: Early Access State, Roadmap and Supporter Pack
[h2]Hey, folks![/h2]
You might have already seen Die in the Dungeon popping up with some content creators! Their early feedback has helped us refine the game, smoothing out rough edges in preparation for launch.
That’s right, we’re racing full speed toward Early Access on February 21! It’s hard to believe it’s finally happening, but here we are.
Now’s the perfect time to break down what you can expect at launch, what’s coming in the first few months, and a little something special for those who want to support us!
[h2]Early Access Content[/h2]
The game is content-complete based on our original vision, meaning all planned areas, characters, dice, events, relics, and unlockables are already in place. But we still have plenty of ideas on how to make the game even better!
At this stage, we believe listening to the community should be our top priority, just as we did throughout all previous versions (Classic, Origins, and the Demo).
Here’s what you’ll get at launch:
- 🗺️ Three areas, filled with new enemies and five unique bosses!
- 🐸 Three playable characters, each with a unique board and exclusive dice types.
- 🪙 100 relics to collect and experiment with.
- 🎲 31 different dice types with 14 combinable properties.
- 💪 Four extra difficulty levels.
- 🏆 40 achievements and unlockables.
- 💬 Full localization in 11 languages.
[h2]Roadmap[/h2]
We have big plans for Die in the Dungeon beyond launch. Here’s a look at what’s coming in the first few months:
[h3]1. 🎮 Controller Support[/h3]
We originally aimed to have controller support ready for launch but decided to hold off until we could do it right. Expect a much smoother and more polished controller experience in a post-launch update.
We may even introduce it through a beta branch first, stay tuned!
[h3]2. ♾️ More Difficulties & Endless Mode[/h3]
At launch, you’ll already have four unlockable difficulty levels (with more to come in the future!), but we want even the best players to have more interesting challenges and rewards.
That’s why we’re working on Endless Mode, a fresh challenge with new enemies and bespoke mechanics for those who want to push their limits.
[h3]3. 👁️ Sneak Peek into the Future[/h3]
We don't want to reveal too much just yet, but here's is a small taste of what's coming:
- Better Events. As a beloved mechanic from Origins, we want to reintroduce dice-rolling during events. But this time, we have a much better idea on how to make them feel better and more balanced. More details soon!
- Bestiary and More Content. The new Codex already includes an exhaustive list with all characters, dice and relics in the game, but something’s still missing… enemies! We’re working on a proper Bestiary with detailed enemy info, including lore! Of course, we’ll also continue expanding other categories with new dice, relics, and more.
- Story and Secrets. While we focused primarily on gameplay for the Early Access release, that doesn’t mean we aren’t planning to expand the world of Die in the Dungeon. In fact, those of you who played CLASSIC will probably have a few questions waiting for an answer…
Is there a *true ending* awaiting our amphibian heroes?
[h2]Supporter Pack[/h2]
And now, for those who want to go the extra mile, we’re excited to introduce the Supporter Pack!
If you’d like to support the development of Die in the Dungeon, the Supporter Pack is a great way to do so! By picking it up, you’ll be directly helping us continue improving and expanding the game while receiving some exclusive content in return.
This pack is purely cosmetic and does not affect gameplay, it’s simply a way for fans to show their support and contribute to the game’s ongoing development.
Here’s what’s included:
🎲 New Cinder Skin: Dice Knight (shiny and proud)
🪰 Companion/Pet: Baby Flyfant (does nothing, just cute)
🎵 Full OST by Fat Bard with 19 tracks (more to be added during Early Access!)
[h2]Steam Raffle Winner[/h2]
Before we go, it's time to announce the winner of our Steam raffle!
Without further ado, let's see who the lucky one is...
> 🎉 kolpro12! 🎉
Congratulations! You'll receive a message from us soon, enjoy your key!
[h2]We’re almost there![/h2]
Make sure to wishlist the game, recommend it to your favorite streamers/youtubers, and spread the word!
Thank you for your support, and may your dice rolls always be in your favor! 🎲🔥
