Hello everyone!
Today we’re bringing you two big announcements:
The Art & History update is now live on Steam! This is our 11th post–Early Access update, featuring a cleaner battle UI and a brand-new Run History section.
We’re also launching a writing contest on Discord! Flex your creativity with short stories set in the Die in the Dungeon universe for a chance to be featured in the upcoming Bestiary.
⚔️ A new UI design for battle
After several iterations, the battle UI has received a much-needed refresh. The goal was a more compact, easier-to-read interface. Here are the quality-of-life tweaks included in this pass:
Clearer grouping of effects (your actions vs. external effects) for faster parsing.
More compact modifiers: values and icons are bundled together, with a 99+ display for very large numbers.
Hover focus: hovering characters or enemies now brings their related UI to the front.
New title cards for each Area for a more polished presentation.
UI is always evolving in a roguelike, so we'd love your feedback. If we spot more areas to improve, we'll keep iterating.
📜 Run History is here!
A new option has appeared under Extras on the title screen: Run History! Browse your previous runs, see which relics and dice you used, and review key stats (like on the end screen).
We've been recording runs for a while, so you should see recent runs as soon as you update. If anything looks off or missing, please let us know, some issues may have slipped through the cracks.
🖋️ New Contest: Let’s write the Bestiary together!
The rumors are true: a new Bestiary section is coming to the Codex in an upcoming update... and your stories can be part of it!
Write a short entry (pick an existing enemy or a short in-universe story) and post it on our Discord. We'll select a few among the most upvoted to be featured in the in-game Codex (with full credit, of course!).
