Dice A Million News

[p]Hi there! Sooo this month was Steam Next Fest and… it was great! We gathered a few thousand wishlists and got a lot more eyes on the game. In case you missed it, we hit 20k wishlists!!!

[/p][p](though it's 21k now already…)[/p][p][/p][p]Thank you all so much for the support, there’s a lot of people patiently waiting for Dice A Million’s release and it’s growing everyday, giving me all the gambling power I need to finish the game… Remember the game is set to release on January 2026, so there’s not much time left![/p][p]Now, let’s talk about some stuff I’ve been working on!![/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][h2]NEW CARDS[/h2][p]Yep!!! Some of you may remember when I mentioned back in April that on release there would be new cards, but in a special separated set, to not bloat the normal card pool. These are more powerful/specific than normal cards, so they’re of course rarer… and all locked by default![/p][p][/p][p]You’ll need to work your way through the dice to be able to get them though…[/p][p]
[/p][p][/p][p]Ever needed that single mirror cube in your bag to win and didn’t draw it in your last roll?! Gift Card allows you to draw any specific die you want from your bag.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][h2]MORE VISUAL UPGRADES[/h2][p]OK yeah let’s address the elephant in the room now, what you saw above is the new UI for booster packs! I’ve been working hard in upgrading them since, let’s be clear, they were so boring looking before.

[/p][p]I also made a new chest animation! I posted this on twitter the other day (which you should definitely follow me there…) and people really seemed to like it!

[/p][p](you can skip it by just clicking you brainrotted kids…)[/p][p][/p][p]There’s a LOT of little visual and sound enhancements I’ve been doing that I’m saving for full release, so the game will feel as fresh as ever.[/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][h2]LOCALIZATION[/h2][p]Another thing I’ve been spending a lot of time into is rewriting the text system in the game to allow for easier localization support. You really shouldn’t notice anything if you only play in English, but the goal is to release with a bunch of languages besides English and Spanish, can’t confirm which ones yet, but I’ll let you know! This new system will also allow fans to easily do fan translations if they want :) (crossing fingers so Dice A Million is in pirate language someday)[/p][p]
[/p][p](dice language)[/p][hr][/hr][p][/p][p]Phew! That’s all for now! As I said, release isn’t too far away now and there’s still a lot of technical work to do, sooo I’ll get back to work now-[/p][p]wait, what? can you hear that?[/p][p]…[/p][p]I think my phone’s ringing somewhere[/p][p]can you hear it too…?[/p][p]
[/p][p]hello…?
