Die in the Dungeon update for 5 March 2025
EA Update 3: Reworked Difficulties and New Levels: D5 and D6!

Hello everyone!

After a hectic (and great!) launch period, we’re now focusing on key design issues reported by players in reviews, forums, and feedback reports. Here’s a non-exhaustive list of some of the most important ones:

- The difficulty jump between D0 and D1 is too steep.
- Runs feel too long.
- Dice rewards are not exciting enough.
- Elite Battles are repetitive (same enemies).
- The Resilient modifier from the Roachvil enemy is frustrating.
- Inconsistent UI in certain menus (like the backpack).

We want to address these issues over time, and this update takes the first step toward improving several of them. Let’s go over the changes:
Difficulty Overhaul

All difficulty levels have been reshuffled to create a smoother progression. D1 has been split into two levels—one focusing on higher HP enemies, and the other introducing new actions and stronger attacks. We’ve also added a brand-new difficulty level involving curses!

As always, balance is tricky, so we’d love to hear your feedback on these changes. Your input helps us shape a better game!

Resilient Modifier Rework

Many players found the Resilient modifier from Roachvil frustrating, as it sometimes required very specific dice rolls to land an Accurate Kill.

To fix this, we’ve tweaked the mechanic so that failing the Accurate Kill is less punishing. Now, instead of the enemy remaining nearly unkillable, it will either buff or debuff you, depending on whether you succeed or fail with the Accurate Kill. Roachvil is already a tough enemy with high damage output, so this should balance it better without removing the core mechanic.
More Exciting Dice Rewards (and Better UI!)

Area 1 can feel a bit stale after multiple runs, so we’ve implemented a popular request: loosened area-based dice restrictions!

This means dice from later areas can now appear earlier, making deck-building more dynamic and exciting. These dice will still be rarer in early areas, but we hope this will allow for more creative builds and strategies!

Additionally, we’ve fully implemented the UI update from our last post—dice in the backpack now display all relevant information, making the UI more consistent across menus. If you have any UI/UX feedback, let us know!

Support for Speedrunning... and Future Challenges?

As a bonus for this update, we’ve introduced a toggleable in-game timer!

We've noticed a growing speedrunning community in our Discord, so we wanted to provide a reliable timer. Since we're still working on reducing loading times, the timer has been adjusted to exclude load times from its count.

Looking ahead, we’d love to organize challenge-specific runs with the community! These won’t necessarily be speedrun-focused, but could introduce unique restrictions. Let us know if you’d be interested!
Changelog for Die in the Dungeon EA Version 4.1.7 (109.0f0):

- Added two new difficulties: D5 & D6.
- Added new UI for dice in the backpack (including description for modifiers and energy cost)
- Added toggleable in-game timer to settings.
- Added two new relics: Insect Repellent & Sticker Pack.
- Added three new curses: Septic Bandage, Idolizing Eye and Shattered Opal.
- Fixed multiple issues related to screen resolution.
- Fixed Jester event always removing properties from first valid dice in deck.
- Fixed incorrect hitbox in relic rewards.
- Modified Resilient modifier behavior (from Roachvil enemy).
- Modified rules for difficulties D1, D2 and D4.
- Modified HP and attack value of multiple enemies.
- Modified shop cost scaling per area (reduced in Area 2 and 3).
- Modified graphics for difficulty icon.
- Modified dice rewards in all areas.

What's Next?

For the next update, our top priority is still reducing loading times, especially in later stages. We have tentative fixes in progress, but they require thorough testing as they impact critical game systems.

Meanwhile, controller support is progressing steadily, and we’re fixing various input-related issues before opening a beta branch for early testing.

Finally, a small teaser: this week, we’re starting work on new content! We’re excited to introduce a fun mechanic that makes battles a bit less RNG-dependent. More details soon!

Before we go, thank you to everyone who has played, left a review, shared the game with friends, or simply enjoyed their time with Die in the Dungeon!

We’re a small team, but we’re committed to keeping a steady flow of updates with the help of the community. Your feedback directly shapes the game, and we want you to see those changes in real time. See you next week!



Die in the Dungeon update for 5 March 2025
Hotfix: New Version 4.1.8 (109.0f1)

The last build had an issue where players who had already completed D4 had to redo it for D5 to unlock. This hotfix ensures that D5 now unlocks automatically for those players, sorry for the issue!

Along with this fix, we’ve also made a few additional tweaks and bug fixes in this update. Check out the full details below!
Full Changelog:

- Fixed D5 difficulty not unlocking automatically when D4 difficulty is already completed.
- Fixed Plague enemy incorrectly having the Poisonous modifier in D1+ (now correctly exclusive to D6).
- Fixed Mirror Dice miscalculating terrain value from mirrored dice.
- Modified color outlines for Curses.
- Modified difficulty rules text to dynamically adjust gradient color based on difficulty level.
- Modified Moon Chakram relic to no longer trigger effects from Thorns and Poisonous modifiers.

Thank you for playing, more updates coming soon!

EA (Mini) Update 4: Faster Loading Times!

Hello everyone!

The full release of Die in the Dungeon is now officially three weeks old, and the updates aren’t stopping anytime soon! This time, we're bringing a much-needed optimization along with a mix of other bugfixes.
Shorter Loading Times

That’s right! After some deep changes, we’re happy to announce that loading times between tiles should now be noticeably shorter. We appreciate your patience, it took some time to address this issue as we had to modify critical parts of the game, but we hope this optimization makes your runs much smoother now!

Quick note: The transition time between areas remains unchanged for now. Since it only happens twice per run at most, we plan to optimize it in a future update.
Addressing a Couple of Long-standing Issues

Thanks to your feedback, we were able to pinpoint and fix a few recurrent issues, including the numbers "3" and "8" being hard to tell apart, and softlocks when using certain dice combinations or interacting with enemy dice. For a full list of fixes, check out the changelog below!

Changelog for Die in the Dungeon EA Version 4.1.9 (109.1f0):

- Fixed long loading times between map tiles.
- Fixed softlock when rapidly using dice with Flash and Heavy properties on the board.
- Fixed softlock when Ant Dice interacts with Haste slot from Winged Sandals relic.
- Fixed music not playing after certain transitions.
- Fixed "Look Mom, No Heal" achievement to correctly trigger when not using heal dice.
- Fixed multiple typos in French.
- Modified run score to take into account starting HP of each character.
- Modified relics UI when the map is open to prevent relics from overlapping tiles.
- Modified font to make "3" and "8" characters more distinct.

What's Coming Next?

In the immediate future, we’re focusing on bringing full controller support as soon as possible! A beta branch for players to test will be available very soon, so stay tuned!

Beyond that, we’re working on lots of new content for the coming weeks, including:

- New relics to support even more playstyles!
- A rework of the Elite Battles to make them more unique!
- A brand-new mechanic that will give players more agency during runs!

A new way to shape your run is coming… Can you guess what it is?

That’s all for today! Let us know if you notice the improvements in loading times and keep the feedback coming. See you next week, and as always, thank you for playing!

Die in the Dungeon update for 29 March 2025
EA Update 5: The Big Relics Update!

Hello everyone!

Today's update is all about relics, bringing new content and changes to increase run variety when relics (and curses!) are offered as rewards. We've also adjusted some rarities and tweaked a few behaviors based on community feedback. Let's go through the changes!
12 New Relics!

Twelve new relics of all rarities are now available in all runs, with a special focus on supporting more offensive playstyles. The relic selection algorithm has been adjusted to increase the variety of relics offered during Elite Battles, Treasure tiles, and Boss tiles. We're planning to continue expanding the relic pool over time, hoping to incentivize even more diverse builds in the future!

By the way, you might have noticed this already, but some of these relics are designed as shout-outs to content creators who have played the game over its many iterations, helping us reach even more players. Can you guess who we’re talking about? Here’s a quick reference for those who just want to know:

- Wandering Helmet - Wanderbots
- High Wizard Cloak - Olexa
- Visionary Egg - Northernlion
- Caffeinated Feline - Sodapoppin
- Corrupted Mushroom - Vinesauce
- Top Hat - Silithur
- Equestrian Piece - checkmate101

4 New Curses!

Are you one of the brave amphibians taking on the toughest challenges in difficulty levels D5 and D6? Well, we’ve got some good (or maybe bad?) news for you: the curse pool just got bigger!

When designing curses, we aim for a balance between drawbacks that make runs more challenging while also opening up potential synergies. But that’s not always easy! Got an idea for a curse or relic? Drop it in the comments or join our discord server to discuss directly with the community!

Let us know what you think about these new relics and curses! Which ones are your favorites? Which might need a few adjustments? Your feedback is always helpful!

Now, brace yourselves for a massive changelog!

EA (Mini) Update 6: Bug-fixing? Bug-smashing!

It's the 2-month anniversary (is that even the right word?) of Die in the Dungeon EA release!

To celebrate, we’re dropping a small update packed with bugfixes and a few balance tweaks to keep runs going smoothly. Also, we're joining the Strategems Festival with a 25% discount for a limited time, so don’t miss out!

Behind the scenes, we’re still cooking up a bunch of cool stuff, including a brand-new feature (more on that below) and the much-anticipated Endless Mode. We've also teamed up with some awesome folks to work on all kinds of DITD-related surprises in the near future. We’re super excited to show you everything, but not just yet!

Without further ado, let’s hop into the changelog:

instructoad: Remember frogs, don't drink and dice... or maybe do?

That’s all for now! As always, thank you so much for playing, sharing your feedback, and being part of the journey.

See you next week!


Die in the Dungeon update for 7 May 2025
EA Update 5: The Potions Update!

Hello everyone!

A new update just dropped, and it brings a brand-new mechanic: Potions!
Let’s take a look at how they work:

Potions 101

Potions are consumable items that trigger immediate effects during battle. When used, they roll a set of dice and apply effects based on the result. Sometimes, you'll need to reach or exceed a specific value for the effect to succeed.

Just like relics, potions come in different rarities, the rarer the potion, the stronger (and sometimes riskier!) the effect. A special line of high-powered potions, called Super Potions, can be earned only after boss battles. You’ll get just two per run, so use them wisely!

Wondering where to find potions? You might come across them after battles, and rumor has it the shop has some new stock, too! Save up your coins, you never know when an extra block might save your run!

We’re hosting two special events to celebrate this update in our Discord server, come join us and participate!

Meet Us at Guadalindie 2025

We’ll be attending Guadalindie 2025 next week! If you’re near Málaga, Spain on the weekend of May 16th, come say hi. We’ll have exclusive Die in the Dungeon merch available!

Also, Controller Support testing starts this week!

We’ll share a post soon with instructions on how to try it on the beta branch.

And finally, our fearless new hire, the Frog Reporter, will be back this month with juicy news and exclusive footage!

Any news about GOG updating the game to its 4.2.4 version ?

I'm not affiliated with the developer/s and/or publisher/s. I just post changelogs, if I get an update-flag and can find one. I'm assuming it might arrive an gog in the next week, but I don't know.

Die in the Dungeon update for 4 July 2025
EA Update 9: The Big Relic Overhaul!

Hello everyone!

We're back with a huge wave of balance changes and fixes, in what will be known as...

The Big Relic Overhaul Update!
For a long time, we've wanted to make underused relics more viable, and we finally got the chance! This update reworks over 25 relics, making them easier to use, more fun, and generally more rewarding. We also adjusted the rarity of many relics, mostly downgrading them so the relic pool feels more diverse and more accessible during your runs.

We're always looking for ways to keep the game fresh and interesting, and the next area we see great potential is enemies and mobs. Expect redesigns, new mechanics, and a few fresh modifiers coming in the near future!

New Art for Areas, Events, and More!
The new background animations are here! ...well, we teased a preview in the last update, but this time all events have received brand-new art and animations. We also adjusted some issues with backgrounds in Areas 2 and 3, and fixed certain events showing the wrong background art.

But there's even more: several menus have been revamped, including boards, the finish-turn button, dice shadows, and a few special slots.

The wait is over, Endless Mode is finally here! This update brings a ton of new content to the game, so let’s jump straight into it:

Endless Mode: new rewards, new dice, new curses!
This new mode is accessible from the title screen (you’ll need to complete a few runs first to unlock it!). Once you start, your goal is simple: reach the highest floor possible!

Endless Mode is split into loops. Every time you reach the final area, you’ll return to Area 1, but enemies will get considerably stronger! That’s not all: a set of Endless-exclusive curses will make even the strongest builds vulnerable. Pick your poison wisely, and keep an eye out for special events where curses can be removed!

A Powerful Ally: Multitype Dice!
But not all is bad news for our amphibian heroes, a new type of die awaits once you push far enough into Endless Mode: multitype dice! These dice feature two types at the same time, letting you trigger two abilities with a single use. Of course, you can still boost them, mirror them, upgrade them, basically everything you can do with regular dice. But now you’ll get double the power in one roll!

Multitype dice come in several varieties, so we’ll let you discover them for yourself. If you find one that feels especially rare, share it with us in the comments!

Meet the Elite: Beetball, the Walking Fortress!
A new elite enemy has rolled into the dungeon: Beetball! Alongside Red Hood, this is part of the first wave of elites that will appear in both regular and Endless runs.

Like regular Bigtles, Beetball’s abilities revolve around block values... but with a twist. If you ever stack more block than him, he can power up even further! Be cautious with your Block Dice, or you might trigger a punishing counterattack.

What's Coming Next?

For those of you who missed our latest post, here's a recap of some of the content that's coming to the game in the future:

Controller support. We’re ironing out the last few bugs and plan to move it from beta to the main branch soon (including Steam Deck improvements!).

New Events. Many events are getting a full rework. Expect better rewards, more meaningful choices, and maybe even the return of dice rolls (like in Origins!).

Bestiary & Lore. The missing Codex section is coming! Learn about all the dungeon's weird inhabitants, and uncover more about Cinder, Lisver, Mango, and the world around the dungeon.

More Elite Enemies. Red Hood's just the beginning. New elite enemies will appear across all areas. Rumors even mention a Dragonfly nest somewhere down there...

Secrets! What's a roguelike without a few hidden paths here and there? We don't want to spoil anything just yet, but traversing the dungeon will definitely get more interesting once you start to uncover the many hidden passages and shortcuts it contains.

Also, we worked overnight to investigate that mysterious frog sighting for last time, at it seems like we finally got a closer look! Let's see…

Wait, that's… a bit too close, isn't it?

As always, thanks a lot for all your support and feedback. We hope you love this update and look forward to all the content coming soon!

Thank you for playing!
