Time for Deckbuilder Fest!

May 4

We're pleased to have a Demo ready and participating in the Steam Deckbuilder Fest. This captures enough to give you an idea about the core mechanics. It's probably enough for one, maybe two runs of the game.

What's not in the demo that'll be in the release:

Meta-Progression: Releasing lots more tubes, vendors, and fiddle sticks
Random rebalancer to adjust the rarity of items in runs
Permanent upgrade mechanism
Modes and challenges
Controller and Keyboard support

We're not sure how well balanced the demo is yet. We're guessing a deckbuilding veteran won't have a problem but someone new to the genre might fail. So let us know if it's too easy or too hard.

Enjoy Rabanaz and all the other great games in the Fest!

A Demo Is Coming

Apr 12

We've been polishing the gears and oiling the pistons. We've put together a standalone demo that lets you play a run against the machine. It'll be released... soon!

The demo features the key mechanics of the game with a limited number of tubes and store options. It'll be similar to what you'd experience with a first run of the full game, before unlocking more features.

We don't have controller support yet, but as soon as that is in the full game we'll release a new demo. We're committed to keep updating the demo as the main game progresses. It'll always represent a sneak peek of the current development version.

Development Update 2025-05-31

May 31, 2025

We've hit the point where we'll be running our first external playtesting sessions. There's enough game in place to get feedback on how to go from here. We're still a ways off from public playtesting.

For the development status, here's some quick notes on what each section needs to move forward.

Graphics

Much of what remains here is tweaking, polishing, and of course the missing scenes.

Replace remaining placeholders
Story elements (the generic parts and holders)
Settings screen

Audio

We've just started here, so basically everything needs to be done.

Engine

Load management and feedback
Audio ambience
Controller support
Keyboard support
Render optimization
Mid-run save and reload
Achievements

Animation

Animations make the game feel alive (and hide loading).

Scene transitions
Object animations, like tubes, chip activations, counters, etc.
Idle animations

Gameplay

Many more tubes
More vendor options
More chip purchase options
End of run

Progression

Not everything should available at once, to avoid overwhelming new players and to give a sense of progression.

Task/event based gating of tubes
Step-wise reveal of fiddle sticks
Map staging

Modes

Beyond the basic gameplay, we'd like to add special challenge modes. These might come quite late in the development, possibly not until early access.

Machine selection (upgrades stored per machine)

Story

Rabanaz is a steam punk casino and there's a purpose to you hacking their machines. It won't have a significant impact on gameplay but to add flavour.

Cut-scene panels
Vendor panels
Bad Tube characters
End-Run
End-Game
