Dicey Dungeons is getting more updates, mod support

Terry Cavanagh, creator of Super Hexagon and VVVVVV, released his latest game Dicey Dungeons three months ago. The combat-focused RPG about heroes who've been transformed into dice has apparently had an even more successful launch than either of his previous commercial games, and those were nothing to be sneezed at. As he wrote on his blog, "Within just its first month, Dicey Dungeons outsold the lifetime sales of my previous two games on Steam combined."

Dicey Dungeons already received a Halloween-themed update and several patches, but Cavanagh has said he's committed to more post-release support. The 1.7 update will be focused on modding support, and "hopefully we’ll be doing more stuff like the Halloween Special in future."

Thanks, RPS.

Jody's first computer was a Commodore 64, so he remembers having to use a code wheel to play Pool of Radiance. A former music journalist who interviewed everyone from Giorgio Moroder to Trent Reznor, Jody also co-hosted Australia's first radio show about videogames, Zed Games. He's written for Rock Paper Shotgun, The Big Issue, GamesRadar, Zam, Glixel, Five Out of Ten Magazine, and Playboy.com, whose cheques with the bunny logo made for fun conversations at the bank. Jody's first article for PC Gamer was about the audio of Alien Isolation, published in 2015, and since then he's written about why Silent Hill belongs on PC, why Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale is the best fantasy shopkeeper tycoon game, and how weird Lost Ark can get. Jody edited PC Gamer Indie from 2017 to 2018, and he eventually lived up to his promise to play every Warhammer videogame.
