One Deck Dungeon: Relics of the Forge

Hey friends, we just wrapped up today's Dev stream, the recording is available here:




Here are the two new relics we showed off during the stream:

Riddle #7 Answer

The trick for riddle 7 was to take just the odd letters (every other letter) from each of these objects - the correct answer spelled out Genie's Lamp, which grants three wishes!


Riddle #8 is open now, linked at the bottom of this update. It's a sneaky one! Remember to check your assumptions, and your work :)

Announcement Tuesday!

We'll be doing another stream on Tuesday at 2PM Eastern, wherein something Neat will be announced. We think you'll like it, and we are excited to show it off! 

After an annoying afternoon, I have fixed the camera problems. Sorry we weren't able to stream today, but everything is now properly updated!

We will have an hour-long stream scheduled for Friday Sept 13 at 1PM Eastern (at twitch.tv/asmadigames as usual), which will be followed by a fun event - a listening party for the One Deck Galaxy soundtrack release, on our digital partner's channel, twitch.tv/handelabragames at 2PM.

Join for either, or both!

Meanwhile, Riddle 6 wrapped up:



The trick here, which was hinted as usual by the question, was morse code! If you look at all the punctuation in each of the answers, they're dashes and dots. The code for each corresponds to S-Tier, B, C, and D. I had to rewrite this one several times! First, because the cluing wasn't enough. Then, when I went to input it, the answer phrases were *too long*, so I had to trim them down quite a bit.  

Riddle #7 is attached, and will be open until the stream on Friday. 

We're creeping up on 200K and just passed 2500 backers! Hurray on both counts :D  

Thanks again to each of you for your support, we're excited to make more cool Dungeon content. 

Hello friends! I hope you all had a lovely holiday weekend / PAX / Random September Weekend depending on where you are in the world. And, if you're on Brumigum, I wish a very happy Flowerwalk day to you!

We've all been a bit busy for the past week with our various travel and adventures, and we'll be back to full operations next week. We've got two streams planned: Monday Sept 9 and Friday Sept 13, both at 2PM Eastern. Next week's streams will be back to playtesting, so if you'd like to see more live play of the expansion and the evolution of heroes, relics, and encounters, tune in! 

Riddle #5 Solution:

This one a lot of you got! Good work :) 


Each of the four foes "held" an item, which you could find by removing the gap between the two words. The Drake Youngling's KEY was indeed the way out of the locked room...unless you threw an Anvil really hard at the door, but don't do that. Anvil toss is not OSHA Dungeon Compliant.

Stretch Goal: +1 Hero!

We've reached three stretch goals so far, adding 2 Relics and 1 Hero to the game. These are indeed not designed yet! We do have a very preliminary couple sketches to show you of the Hero concept - she's inspired a bit by olympians, and in specific...the shotput! This muscular magical hero has a cache of fiery meteors that she summons and throws at foes. Believe me, you do not want to get hit by a fiery meteor.



I'm working on her gameplay design now, and we may have something to share during next week's streams. 

The bonus relics to be added depend on the Relic Riddles! With +2 unlocked, the top 3 teams now will see their relic make it into the game. 

Happy Thursday, everyone, and have a fun weekend ahead. Relic Riddle #6 is now open, and it's a toughie! Good luck with it :)

Hello friends! Sorry for not posting this yesterday, my schedule for the week got a bit jumbled because of some family commitments.

The campaign is coming along, our next stretch goal is at 2400 backers and we're just about at $170K! Hurray for that, and thanks everyone for being on the ride :)

Our next stream will be a week from today, September 4th at 2PM Eastern. Timing didn't work out right for a stream this week, but we're excited to discuss more development with everyone - the next stream will be about Encounters.

Relic Riddle #4:



This one was a tricky one! The key here is the word "heady", which in wordplay parlance, means to look at the head, or first letter, of each word.  If you read the first letters of all the words in the clue, they spell out ITS A CHALICE, which leads you to the correct answer. We're down to just 7 people who've answered all 5 correctly! 

Up next is Riddle #5, which will be open until our stream on Wednesday. We'll be mostly away during the holiday weekend, and we hope everyone has a good time at home, at PAX if you're there, or wherever your travels may take you. Happy Dungeoning, all! 

Hello and happy Wednedsay! We ran a shorter stream yesterday to share a live peek in to some of our development process.

But first, we shared the solution to Relic Riddle #2.



Each of the four choices could be anagrammed to something you want, clued by the words "mixed up" in the riddle title. Over half of you got it right! Hurray :D

Relic Riddle #3 is live, and it's attached to this update. Its answer will be revealed during Friday's stream.

Plastic Cards Video

I also took a couple minutes to show the differences between deluxe plastic and standard cards. You can see the clip here - https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2230056941 (Sorry, can't embed twitch clips!)



Stream Recap

You can watch the full stream (a bit under an hour) here:



During the stream, we focused on balance discussion of the Thrasher and Flamberge, and talked through some of the ideas we've had over the past few days after seeing playtesting and reports. The heroes are coming along nicely, and I'm pretty happy with the thematic feel we're getting out of each of them now! 

We're also continuing to evolve the individual Relics' balance, to make sure your dungeon delving experience is as fun and interesting as possible. One Deck Dungeon is a game with some luck, and we want to make sure you've got some clever ways to mitigate that luck where possible in the new expansion. 

We'll be back on Friday with more stream! Hope to see you all there :)

And now...a riddle:
