Release Date
Hello everyone! Both Tim (Bossforge) and I have been working day and night for the last months and are excited to finally share some huge news:
... Gamblers Table will officially release on the 11th of January 2026! 🎉
Let's go over what exactly will await you in the release of Gamblers Table:
A way bigger skill tree with skills that synergies with each other!
Unlockable tables that have different effects catering to different play styles!
New coins that come with new upgrades and new skills in the skill tree!
The ability to micromanage what skills trigger what coins in the tactics tab!
Hat capsule machines! These machines give you tons of cool hats to customize your helpers - in exchange for skull tokens, which can be gathered by failing a flip (landing on the skull side)
Steam achievements! I myself am a little achievement hunter sometimes, so I always love when games have some!
... and tons of quality of life features - based on your suggestions from the discord and the playtests! We really tried to polish what we thought made the demo special and give you just more of that.
Demo Update
But wait, there is even more news!
We believe that a demo should closely resemble the quality of the full game. For that reason we have not only added every single quality of life feature from the main game to the demo version aswell, but also added the new hat machines to the demo version! So you can now already unlock some hats and have your dudes look cool no matter what version you play!
BUT WAIT WAIT, THERE IS EVEN MORE NEWS!
We have also added achievements to the demo version!
AND ALSO - we made sure to integrate your save file from the demo fluently into the full version. If you buy the full version, you can just continue from where you left off (you just have to re-assign the points in your skill tree).
However, please note that we recommend resetting your progress in the full release nonetheless - to have superior experience of the game. The early game in the full game is significantly different and (in our opinion) way more interesting than in the demo. If you've already grinded up an insane amount of money in the demo you may accidentally skip a lot of fun content from the full game.
Here is a little change log of what exactly has been changed in the demo version:
Improved several animations, graphics and icons in the game
Added new configuration options to the tactics tab
Improved tooltips by adding more explanations, as well as have keywords be accompanied by icons
Added skull tokens and two hat machines
Added a hat management tab in the right sidebar to equip and unequip hats
Reworked the achievements tab
Integrated steam achievements to the demo
Added upgrade to flip silver coins by hovering
Added upgrade to flip gold coins by hovering
Added option to hold CTRL to mass-purchase from the shop
Upgraded the Godot version to improve stability on linux operating systems
Added a speed scale accessibility option to the options menu
We believe these changes make for a much better demo. If you have any feedback or troubles, let us know what you think via our discord, mail or the steam community!
