Buckshot Roulette News

[h2]Greetings, High Rollers[/h2]

No more fooling around, today we’ll be brief.

The long-awaited BUCKSHOT ROULETTE multiplayer will launch on October 31st.

Featuring:

• New items for strategic mutual annihilation. No pills included.
  
• Brand new music to bop to while staring at the barrel
  
• A bunch of new faces kindly provided to us by Volta Standard Electronics
  
• And the special sting of betrayal from your friends and loved ones

[h3]But wait, there’s one more thing:[/h3]

You might be wondering about all of those ‘beta test sign ups’ we’ve been doing earlier. Join our Discord to get access to the Beta in the few upcoming days to try out the multiplayer earlier.
We’re expecting to be able to provide you with access sometime before the official launch.

We’ll also be granting an even earlier access to select content creators, so keep an eye out for previews coming soon.

We’re so happy to have you back.
Volta Standard Electronics is happy to have you back.

[h3]But before we go, a word from the CR Channel Crew:[/h3]

In a lonely station atop a mountain, a train rumbles its precious cargo to places unknown. Now is your shift. Keep the pace. Uncover a mystery. Fight for your last breath. The air is thin up here.

THRESHOLD, a solo project by Julien Eveillé is coming to Steam in 2024. Stay tuned for more news.

See you again, High Rollers.
May your games never, ever end.

[h2]Greetings, High Rollers[/h2]

The most astute of you have already found out that we’ve been showing off Buckshot multiplayer at G-Fusion in China. You might even have seen some footage of it.

In that case, there’s no reason to keep it under wraps any longer. So for all High Rollers at home, we’re releasing some of our own footage for you to feast your eyes on:

We’re sorry for any friendships ruined in the process

Not captured at the photo: a three-hour line to play Buckshot’s multiplayer

Only one of them will walk out with a case full of money tonight.

Of course we know that merely ‘just watching’ is not enough. The greed, the thrill, the high stakes — you can only experience these in action.

[h2]So we’re inviting you to take it further.[/h2]

This October marks the first anniversary of CR Channel — a collective of brave developers pushing the envelope of the horror genre further than imaginable and a bunch of horror nerds from CRITICAL REFLEX with a dream.

To celebrate we have prepared many, many surprises for you throughout the whole month waiting to be unpacked, like an advent calendar of sorts. And we’ll be launching the BUCKSHOT ROULETTE Multiplayer Beta as one of the gifts — sorry for spoiling the surprise a little. Hope you don’t mind.



And for those of you lucky enough to be in Japan from September 26 to September 29, you can play the Buckshot Roulette Multiplayer earlier at the CRITICAL REFLEX booth.

Not just on PC, by the way: by popular demand we’ve set up the Real Buckshot Roulette experience. Staring at the barrel of a shotgun has never been so fun, eh?

But before we go, we have an announcement from CR Channel:

Mouthwashing, a space horror tragedy brought to you by the masters of ‘weird’ horror at Wrong Organ of How Fish is Made fame, is OUT NOW on Steam.

Follow the lives of the crew as they endure starvation, isolation, and the strain of dealing with each other. The ship will be out of power in six months, with food rations running out even sooner. Will they make it through or will they perish under the light of an eternal sunset?

See you again soon, high rollers.
The night is coming and it’s darker than ever.

[h2]Greetings, High Rollers[/h2]

Been a while since we last spoke with you all, hope you missed us a lot. We know what you guys are all waiting for, and while we don’t have any announcements today, we wanted to let you take a look at the backrooms of our nightclub. Even if it’s still in development.

So without further ado, let us begin.

[h2]Would the shell loading machine please show itself for the demonstration?[/h2]



Wonderful, thank you.

The cat’s been out of the bag for quite a while, but we think it’s about time to officially confirm that BUCKSHOT ROULETTE Multiplayer will allow up to four high rollers to partake in the dance between life and death.

Of course that meant that the old tech had to be replaced with something more suitable for a… bigger crowd. Thankfully, our colleagues at Volta Standard Electronics are the best when it comes to inventing efficient tools for bloody entertainment, so we’ll introduce you to some.



Starting off, of course, with a brand new playing table. Our priority was to make the game of chance as fair to all contestants as possible, so the Volta Engineers prepared a perfectly symmetrical table that would still allow all players to have 8 items at a time. And a rotation mechanism for a shotgun, since you wanted to see it in action so much.

Of course, having more players together at the same table implies that there should be new items tailored around this mechanic specifically. Like this remote, which is [REMOVED: Proprietary information of Volta Standard Electronics].

Or, I guess we can just say that it only makes sense with multiple people at the table for now.



[h2]That's enough for now, let's remove all this junk from the playing table and wrap this up.[/h2]



Note: All safety guarantees void if body parts remain on the table during clearing sequence

Hope you enjoyed our little tour into the multiplayer zone of our nightclub. We’ll be back soon with more info, but for now — keep the bets coming, our dear High Rollers.

[h3]But before we go, a quick announcement from the CR Channel Crew:[/h3]

THRESHOLD, a solo project by Julien Eveillé, is joining the CR Channel Family of deeply discomforting and beautifully unsettling video games.

THRESHOLD is a short, dark and atmospheric First Person Exploration game picturing disturbing facts about an untold brutal story. Pick a country, start your shift and try to save the world with the help of your precious bucket, some Air Cans and a bunch of planks.

Among twice as many players
you better be twice as lucky.

Good luck.

[h2]Greetings, High Rollers[/h2]

Today’s community spotlight is a bit special, since we’ll be announcing the results of Mike’s BUCKSHOT ROULETTE OC Contest from Twitter.

Of course we are all well aware of how talented and passionate our community is, but seeing so many people taking on Mike’s silly little challenge truly made a lasting impact and we're so grateful to have such a creative fandom. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you!

[h3]And now, let’s introduce the winners of Mike’s Art Challenge:[/h3]

[h3]First Place:[/h3] (via Krybytes on Twitter)



[h3]Second Place:[/h3] (via _middaygardens on Twitter)



[h3]Third Place:[/h3] (sent to Mike via email, but he loved it so much that he included it in)



We’ll be contacting them on Twitter (or via email in case of the third winner) for further details, so if any of the winners happens to read this on Steam first — we’re coming for you.

But it would be a shame not to showcase some of the runner-ups as our sincere token of gratitude, so here goes the list of our favorites in no particular order:

A really high effort *video* submission with a Bogus Dealer via VibaPop


And another, also quite high effort video submission via Shifty_tm_

Who said the Dealer has to be a stoic, right? via PotassiumHere

Knife fight, you're gonna fight for your liiiiiife via Voxel_Moxel

Having a death wish, punk? via PhoxPhorus

HAnd last, but certainly not least, a KinitoPET crossover via mnemoticz


But of course these weren’t the only community creations we’d like to put our spotlight on, so let's finish it off with some of our beloved non-OC BUCKSHOT pics from this month

As always if you want your art to get showcased next time: tweet at us using the #BuckshotRoulette hashtag or submit your art in the #fan-creations channel on our Discord server.
[h2]Are you ready? Let’s begin.[/h2]

[h3]It’s a shame that this one didn’t participate in the contest, but we still wanted to share it with you all[/h3](via HANA_jijon on Twitter)



[h3]And moving back to classic Dealer thirst now[/h3](via _NOM_8 on Twitter)



[h3]In today’s obligatory video slot we have a wonderful crossover with Signalis. Please-please-please check out the full video, it’s so good

[h3]Rayman (or technically, Ramon from Captain Laserhawk) playing Buckshot Roulette wasn’t on our bingo cards for this year[/h3](via TodTheWizard on Twitter)



[h3]Moments before defeat[/h3](via hakugei668 on Twitter)



[h3]Now what we didn’t expect at all is to have an actual Japanese bar referencing Buckshot on Twitter, but it… surprisingly works?[/h3](via Bar_EA on Twitter)



[h3]Yes, this is a cool fan-art of the Dealer and Leshy, but this is also a reminder that we have a collab bundle with Inscryption, wink-wink, nudge-nudge[/h3](via
SkullKandi1 on Twitter)



That’s all we have for today. By the time this post goes live, we’ll be at BitSummit Drift, so if you happen to be in Japan — come say Hi! And once we return, it’s gonna be all about that multiplayer grind.



See you again soon, High Rollers.

Until then, keep hitting it big.
