New Demo Update: The Duchess Arrives! ♟️

Dicevaders Demo · published 35 days ago

All eventsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hey Commanders!

Great news!!! We have updated our demo for you all. We’re working so hard behind the scenes and wanted to say a huge thank you for all the great feedback we’ve received so far on our game. Please keep it coming! We wanted to share with you all the new improvements you’ve helped us make and add more content that opens up even more strategic possibilities for you.

Enter The Duchess

The highlight of this update is the arrival of our newest commander: The Duchess!

The Duchess grants players access to unique chess-themed units, including the Queen, King, Bishop, Knight, and Pawn. These powerful new units are sure to shake up your strategy! The Duchess is one of 10 commanders that will be available for you to play as at launch. Of course, you can still play as The Core, Blob Girl, and The Captain in the demo.

The Duchess Infinity Score Challenge 🏆

Think you've mastered the Duchess already? We're challenging you to hit Infinity with her! Get your scores ready, because we're looking for the 3 most creative builds that reach Infinity to win a game key at launch!

Keep your eyes peeled on our Discord and social channels for the full details on how to submit your entries.

Demo 0.7 => 0.9 🚀

(We've skipped a version because we had a BETA 0.8 internally! So this is two updates of changes, though many of which are not shown in this log because they aren't in the demo).
