Dungeons & Degenerate Gamblers News

[p]Touch Support[/p][p]Big overhaul to the game's touchscreen support.[/p]

• [p]now first tap on a card will hover it, second will interact with it.[/p]
• [p]you can now drag cards from your hand into play to play them.[/p]
• [p]while hovering a card you can press and drag left and right on the touchscreen to scrub between cards, allowing you to precisely choose a specific card even when they are very close together.[/p]
• [p]lots of changes to make swapping between input methods (mouse, keyboard, controller, touchscreen) seamless.[/p]

[p][/p][p]16:10 and borderless fullscreen[/p]

• [p]adds support for 16:10 aspect ratio .[/p]

[p]Please only use this if you have a 16:10 monitor or are in windowed mode.[/p]

• [p]adds a borderless fullscreen option.[/p]

[p][/p][p]Foe Balancing[/p][p]Alucard (Triple Down! and below)[/p]

• [p]Replaces Ace of Hearts with 1 of Hearts.[/p]

[p]The Ace was too consistent a source of both value and healing in long encounters.[/p][p]Bouncer (Triple Down! and below)[/p]

• [p]Replaces King of Clubs with King of Hearts.[/p]

[p]This makes him deal less damage when affected by Rules Card/Sweep the Leg, and also makes him susceptible to disruption via Blood Donor Card.[/p][p]Mr President[/p]

• [p]Swaps the normal deck and Quadruple Down! deck for Mr President.[/p]

• [p]In the new Quadruple Down! deck: makes the 10 of Diamonds a 6 of Diamonds and the 6 of Hearts a 10 of Hearts.[/p]

[p]Previously the normal deck was harder since the Blood Donor Card would eventually drain Hearts to 0 leaving it with a low deck sum.[/p][p][/p][p]Other improvements[/p]

• [p]improves the responsiveness of input glyphs on draw and discard piles when the last card moves out of them.[/p]
• [p]when trying to play Official Trump Card while not having enough chips the error message will now be "not enough chips" instead of "no valid target".[/p]

• [p]fixes a bug where the bottom right buttons in the following places did not have the keyboard/controller shortcut for that type of button: Deck choice (choose random deck), Unique Chip choice (reroll), Sofa Sleeper (leave)[/p]
• [p]fixes a bug where new (non-functional) copies of Unique Chips and difficulty chips were being added every time a room was selected.[/p]
• [p]fixes the lock and unlock sound effects being played multiple times when more than one card was being locked or unlocked at the same time.[/p]
• [p]fixes a bug where a card you started with from Random Deck could be stickered at end of run even though it hadn't ever been recorded as collected (it will now also be marked as collected).[/p]

[p]Hello Tavern Dwellers!

The Steam Awards 2025 are open for nomination and we'd be grateful if you chose Dungeons & Degenerate Gamblers for Labour of Love! We love every moment working on the game and hope that you are still having loads of fun with it.[/p][p][/p][p]May the best game win![/p][p][/p][p][/p]

[p]Rendering [/p]

• [p]changes engine render mode to prevent a bug where the screen was black other than the mouse cursor.[/p]

[p]In v1.4.1 we made a change to the engine render mode to better support older devices, but this introduced a new rendering issue where the screen would be displayed black other than the mouse cursor. So we're changing back to the same renderer that v1.4 used, and anyone that has the "white screen" bug that was in v1.4 can now swap render modes by putting "--rendering-driver opengl3" (without the "") into the launch arguments for the game in Steam.[/p][p][/p][p]Damage sound effects[/p]

• [p]these have been simplified and made to be much more natural, especially the sound effect that played on dealing 21 or more damage.[/p]

[p][/p][p]ID Card Customisation[/p]

• [p]the fingers are now shown in greyscale when choosing to have no right hand accessory in the ID Card Customisation menu, to make it clearer that the fingers will not show during a run if you choose this option.[/p]

[p][/p][p]Bug fixes[/p]

• [p]fixes the Shields in Spades achievement not working.[/p]
• [p]fixes a bug where Glitched Card would not update the choice helper text for some cards.[/p]
• [p]fixes a bug where the new foil map wouldn't display correctly for Flash Card when exploited.[/p]
• [p]fixes a bug where a card dealt to player's hand could be shown facedown in Go Fish event.[/p]
• [p]fixes a crash caused by trying to go to next event/encounter very quickly after seeing the choices.[/p]
• [p]fixes the Memory Test flip timing being too fast, especially at higher animation speeds.[/p]
• [p]fixes a bug where clicking the main menu button to join QQ could sometimes lead to Discord instead.[/p]

[p]Customisation changes[/p]

• [p]change the right hand to show all the time instead of just when having cards in hand[/p]
• [p]changes the left and right hands to change colour depending on current skin colour customisation setting[/p]
• [p]changes the no smoking setting to only visually prevent smoking but still leave the cigarette as selected customisation if it is selected - means you can swap the setting back and forth without having to also change the customisation[/p]

[p][/p][p]Foresight changes[/p][p]Make the foreseen card more visible by:[/p]

• [p]reducing the opacity of the purple mask[/p]
• [p]increasing the size of the preview, especially in top left and bottom right corners[/p]
• [p]reducing the opacity and value of the eye background colour[/p]

[p][/p][p]Go Fish changes[/p]

• [p]Improves Go Fish event to be a more consistent reward pool and to not be so confusing as to what is happening on-screen[/p]

[p]More consistent reward pool:[/p]

• [p]get first set of cards from player's deck[/p]
• [p]get second set of cards from Gamblers decks (pooled from Tavern, Lounge, VIP Area)[/p]
• [p]reduce to 8 pairs in total and 4 cards held in each hand[/p]

[p]Not so confusing:[/p]

• [p]move cards to a discard pile on the right side of the event instead of burning them[/p]
• [p]change mid-event dialogue to show the full message immediately which helps a lot with the timing of the event[/p]
• [p]tweaks to the order of moving cards around to make the event more readable[/p]
• [p]move first cards from owner's deck positions instead of dealer position to make it clearer where they came from[/p]
• [p]better timing to show event description label[/p]
• [p]better text and layout for event description label[/p]
• [p]better draw pile visuals and prevent the player from viewing the draw pile with "no peeking" dialogue and error sfx[/p]

[p]Cool stuff:[/p]

• [p]show the customised hand and accessory in Go Fish[/p]
• [p]improve the way cards in hand are spread in Go Fish[/p]
• [p]resort the hands if the card taken was from the centre of the pile[/p]
• [p]show cards in Gambler's hand upside down hehehehe[/p]

[p][/p][p]Other improvements[/p]

• [p]adds sound effects for the end of round damage animations[/p]
• [p]adds a short delay after flipping cards on a few events now that flipping cards is much faster (Tavern Counterfeiter, Dungeon Counterfeiter, Have a Drink)[/p]
• [p]progressively damages the Loyalty Card art as more stamps are added[/p]
• [p]the left hand moves in and out of view now instead of just appearing when cards added to hand[/p]
• [p]smoking visuals are now changed immediately when changing the Smoking Allowed setting[/p]
• [p]removes the requirement to save a portrait before opening the portrait file location[/p]
• [p]improves the localised description for Jimbo[/p]

[p]**Bug fixes**[/p]

• [p]fixes a bug where a Glitched Card rolled Wheel of Fortune X, which then drew a Glitched Card that turned into a The Lovers VI, resetting the original Glitched Card back to a default Glitched Card before it could tell the game it had finished its effect, and softlocking the encounter[/p]
• [p]fixes a bug where the partyhorn sound effect would not play if you were using the Birthday Deck while having the right hand accessory customised to a non-partyhorn option[/p]
• [p]fixes a bug where dialogue box could show up really big if dialogue shown twice quickly[/p]
• [p]fixes a bug where Proxy Card text and background could show up on other cards in Slot Machine Shop after Proxy Card had been shown once[/p]
• [p]fixes a bug where you could quit while final boss dialogue still open and continue to get one more card reward[/p]
• [p]fixes a bug where a Red Card would be shown in your deck on the victory screen if your deck contained a Yellow Card[/p]
• [p]fixes visual bugs when Glitched Card rolled Jack in a Box and Flash Card[/p]
