Ooo

[nimble lance]

Dice games on fire today?!

[lyric sphinx]

This looks fire

[sturdy ember]

As soon as I have a moment I shall sit down with the demo 🔴🎥

[cunning wraith]

I saved up 69 dollars and died

[stoic lodge]

Shop can be a little too far sometimes, they are choice between fight but sometimes it's not enough😇

[cunning wraith]

oh there was shops

I just wanted to farm gold

Anyways how dare you tease me with this sneak peek card when I have a card that gives 3 chips per gold

[stoic lodge]

Teasing will continue until morale improves 😬

[cunning wraith]

fair enough

yay I did it

[stoic lodge]

Nice prism synergy!

[cunning wraith]

Basically Swashbuckler + egg + present strategy in balatro

[teal sparrow]

Flush Full House instead of Flush House is cursed after playing so much balatro

[cunning wraith]

to bad this game doesnt have SUAS

[stoic lodge]

SUAS ?

[teal sparrow]

it's a Balatro bug

[cunning wraith]

^

[teal sparrow]

based on some manipulation with a Joker that saves you from death

and running out of cards to play

[cunning wraith]

welp

[stoic lodge]

This is unfortunate 🥲

There is only 2 sneak peak for the moment and you loot them both in the same time

[cunning wraith]

The thing is I could have won, but I though my 5oak would win and my 4oak was better than my 5oak, but I wanted that +2 extra chips for the anvil

the +2 chips was not worth it

[stoic lodge]

Yes I agree anvil is quite weak, a buff is needed

[devout glacier]

Looks super fun that's an easy wishlist! Will give a shot at the demo some time this week :) Is there a discord server?

[cunning wraith]

I realized you can just shove dice into a hand after you already clicked the score button

[stoic lodge]

If you are not in a rush you can wait for Steam Next Fest there will be an update with content. There is not discord server for the moment

[devout glacier]

Awesome! But I definitely will check the demo out, I'm working on a similar game and it's so fun to see more games like that are on the way :D Best of luck for the development!

[stoic lodge]

Thanks , you too!

[stoic lodge]

It's a known bug... it can help you to reroll dice for free but shhhh... enjoy before I patch it 😇

[cunning wraith]

XD

[cunning wraith]

Rip

I think the consumable that copies the last consumable used works even if the last consumable used was last round

[stoic lodge]

Yes correct there is no limitation in time/ round.

[cunning wraith]

Why did I say round, I meant like last game

[stoic lodge]

Oh thanks for the bug report !

[cunning wraith]

Np, its kinda my thing

rip

I dont understand why flush is worth so much, I think you put an extra 0 or something because its literally worth more than a fortuna lvl 1

Also I feel like straights need a buff

[placid totem]

Is this game on mobile?

[stoic lodge]

Only PC for the moment then a controller / steamdeck support is planned

[stoic lodge]

Flush is a secret combinaison so its need modification on your deck.
For Straight there will be a button to sort automatically your dices, that will help to spot this figure more easily and increase its use

[cunning wraith]

I still dont understand 😅

also I sold something on my last hand and got softlocked

[stoic lodge]

Do you have a screenshot ?

[cunning wraith]

Oh I forgot to get one

It should be easy to replicate so Ill try

Using wine can get you below the score threshold without winning

[stoic lodge]

What do you mean with "wine"?

[cunning wraith]

the consumable

wine

[stoic lodge]

Ok thanks

[cunning wraith]

anyways thats all for today probably

[stoic lodge]

Thanks a lot !

[cunning wraith]

No problem! Looking forward to play testing the other game as well!

[placid totem]

Is it just balatro with dice?

[cunning wraith]

I mean the art style is very different, plus the game itself Id say is much harder

there is less shops and a relic system

but there is a lot of similarities

[placid totem]

Neat

I'll might check it out later

[cunning wraith]

Alright

[cunning wraith]

rerolls go brrr

[stoic lodge]

Need to convert some face to green and destroy some faces 😏

[cunning wraith]

Tbh I didnt realize how this games reroll worked until earlier today

[stoic lodge]

What did you think before that ?

[cunning wraith]

I wasnt thinking

actually because of the one that gives money for each 3 in deck I kind of got confused because there isnt rlly a deck

I dont know if I misread deck because of to much Balatro or what

[stoic lodge]

Your dice are persistent throughout your run, so yes, there is a deck. However, it lacks features to show your deck and display what dice with which faces you have. This area needs more work.

[cunning wraith]

oh also the 4 leaf clover prism used the words "contain a two pair" when it acts like "is a two pair"

or well double pair, not two pair

actually wait what, I played a 4oak and it upgraded but a full house didnt upgrade it

[stoic lodge]

You are right I will correct it, changing the localization or effectively add "contain" two pair

[cunning wraith]

fun run

and I still lost

[stoic lodge]

You lost before first boss ?

450k score you must have win first tree

[cunning wraith]

what?

the boss was 500k

ant made it 450k

[stoic lodge]

ok

[cunning wraith]

anyways I won this time, boss was only 270k though 🤷🏻‍♂️

the starfish looking prism was at 460 chips after that hand 🔥

Nice

[stoic lodge]

Nice

[cunning wraith]

great time to lose ig

[cunning wraith]

I love rerolling 7 dice 6 times and getting 1 2

[stoic lodge]

They love you back 😬

[cunning wraith]

Wow

[vast bobcat]

just finished my first run

scalers are really fun in this, found myself in a high dice build

[stoic lodge]

GG 🙂

[cunning wraith]

I forget you made both Pip My Dice and Roll Five

[stoic lodge]

Not Pip my Dice, maybe you are confusing names ?

[cunning wraith]

Oh yeah

I am

[cunning wraith]

Because there username is Fokaz

So 3 similar letters

[stoic lodge]

And almost same length

[sturdy ember]

Got a chance to play, there's some good ideas here. It does feel like there could be a lot of room for novel/changed effects for Prisms, since so many things feel like clones of jokers, but the basic foundation is there.

[stoic lodge]

Thanks for your feedback. We have a lot of ideas and will implement new systems soon!

Many of the current prisms, similar to the jokers in Balatro, are placeholders and will be removed. That is the reason why we didn't named them.
They were added just to have a playable demo and bulletproof the concept with dice. Of course, some very basic ones will be kept, but we plan to introduce many exclusive ones.

A huge update is coming soon. Based on feedback from Steam Next Fest, we are adding many features to clarify some of the game rules (notification system, new tooltips). The update will also introduce a new collection system and record system (win streak, best score, etc.).Stay tuned!

[sturdy ember]

That's awesome to hear, looking forward to updates

• New rolling dice animation.
• New tooltip for dice.
• Added notification system when the player enters an "unknown node" to display the node type.
• Added notification when upgrading a figure
• Added tooltip when hovering over the health bar to show damage history.
• Added vignette effect on win, loss, scoring, and consumable use.
• New loss panel and win panel.
• New UI to show unlocked items during the run and new records made by the player.

New Content:

Upcoming : Steamdeck support and new experience system for figure played...

[cunning wraith]

That was a lot of reading, I guess I need to replay the game soon

[stoic lodge]

A lot of changes since July, they were 2 Major updates. Adding experience system for every hands you do, adding unlock system, 20 decks and map rework.
I launched early access to seek motivation and more feedback for my game.

[stoic lodge]

Demo is still up , if you want to give it a try. If you played months ago you can compare !

[sturdy ember]

i played demo v6, so it'll be interesting to see what's new

[cunning wraith]

Alright, Ill see if I can play later

[cunning wraith]

I got a chance to play the game and the experience was a bit weird. For some reason when I lost and started a new run it brought me back to before I died

So then I just retried like 4 times with in round scaling and eventually would beat the round, only to die to the next and repeat

The xp system doesnt really work to good since its just a few more chips and multi but requires more and more hand plays

It should be just as hard to level up at any point

[cunning wraith]

Sorry I have company over so my speakinng is like off and on rn XD

Anyways the game is fun, but for my computer slightly laggy and it might be to hard to get a good build? Its hard to say because I havent gotten a single Xmulti item yet or anything

Bug wise for the 1 run the only bug I noticed was you could reroll after playing a winning hand if you spam clicked it which worked well for me since I had “on reroll with nothing in hand gain 3 gold”

Final score, 7/10 but if I play more and get more sense of the balance of the game it can reach 7.5/10 or 8/10. Especially since there seems to be a lot of gamemodes

[cunning wraith]

Also the UI can get pretty goofy

[cunning wraith]

For some reason you dont get the full chips from a hand as it says you should get

[cunning wraith]

What are your thoughts Foma?

[stoic lodge]

Sorry didn't see your feedback

[cunning wraith]

all good

[stoic lodge]

What computer did you use ?

[stoic lodge]

Thanks for the clear report I will fix it.

[cunning wraith]

I just use a regular windows 11 so nothing major but its not the worst either

[stoic lodge]

It's because of the text "<sprite name="xxx">" that dont show the icons correctly ?

[cunning wraith]

Id assume so

Its been a few days so Ive forgotten a decent chunk of what happened

I think it was using the keyboard controls like f1, f2, esc and stuff while I had already lost

[stoic lodge]

Ok thanks for the info

[modest nexus]

i did try the demo; it was a good time! modding access would be cool though

[stoic lodge]

Thanks for your kind words!

[astral crypt]

I like the game but I think it needs dices to have like multi cards , holographic and more type of dices... I just playrd like 3 runs I did not saw anything diffretent than the normal ones.

but I might being dumb and need to play even more.

[stoic lodge]

All "natural" dice are the same on your deck. But they are influenced by your deck (for example "No-six" the is no 6th face) but you can modify face, and add "aura" that is a bonus for all face on a dice.

[astral crypt]

Nice thx for that! I liked the game it is on my Endless Fun Collection on steam with more than 40+ Roguelikes

[stoic lodge]

Thanks!

[stoic lodge]

if you have more question please quote me so I can answer faster!

[astral crypt]

Thx foma! Btw Balatro and these epic games like yours will help me be happy for sometime since I lost my job yesterday

Roguelikes gives me some happiness haha

[stoic lodge]

Sorry for your job but glad we can provide you some relief !

[wind gull]

Is this still being developed? I would love to contribute art as I'm not a fan of the blurry image style

[stoic lodge]

What is your portfolio ? What image do you mean about the blurry image ?

[wind gull]

this
why is it like this?

Nevermind
Too much on my plate rn anyway

sorry

[stoic lodge]

You are playing a very old demo prism are more like this now
