Hello everyone!
It's with great pleasure that I meet you again today to talk about the next major update!
Things are going perfectly well, and it's scheduled for June 26th, 2025!
What's coming in this new version of Fortune Avenue?
This is an update that focuses on character customization. You'll be able to customize your dice with rounded dice, sharp-edged ones, auras, or even smoke effects. I've tried to be imaginative when it comes to dice, but if you have more ideas, I'm all ears. I was actually thinking of adding dice with dots shaped like squares, diamonds, or triangles to add even more variety.
Anyway, after the dice, I've added tombstone customization. I've put in some more cheerful stuff, like flower pots, pumpkins, or even hearts. It's colorful and looks great in-game. Nothing but good stuff!
On top of all that, new rules and cards are making their appearance. Enough to shake up an ongoing game. The helicopter has also had a little makeover to make it more aggressive.
What about multiplayer?
I've done a lot of testing and also received a lot of feedback. So the next version of Fortune Avenue is going to be much more stable, desynchronizations should no longer occur. Deleting a festival works correctly, skipping another player's turn also works correctly. I've focused on fixes but I'm already thinking about what's next.
That is, being able to play Fortune Avenue in remote play together. Many of you have asked me for this, so I'm thinking of implementing it eventually. To this will be added a lobby overhaul, to make it more robust. This second part is fully planned in the early access roadmap so the game is progressing, and it's possible that it will come out of early access sooner than expected since the project development is going very well!
So, the next update is scheduled for June 26th, 2025, and it will come with a promotion!
For those of you who are eager to try this new version, you can already do so.
To do this, go to your Steam library, click on Fortune Avenue, go to properties, then go to Beta. From there, select the unstable version and let Steam do the update. Be careful though, as players who don't have the same version of Fortune Avenue can't play together.
Thanks for reading.
Take care of yourselves
