Buckshot Roulette Windows, Linux game

Greetings, High Rollers!

Been a while since we announced that we’re working on multiplayer, huh? Well, today we intend to fill the Dealer-shaped hole in your hearts with some good news, so crack open a nice and cold can of Digita, get your defibrillators ready and let’s get right to it.

Multiplayer development status

As Mike mentioned in one of his Q&A answers, his style of development is mostly about figuring out the core mechanics, features, etc. and lots of polishing afterwards. So we’re happy to announce that we’re officially in the polishing stage of development.

This doesn’t really mean that we have a release date for you all today, but we’ve had the chance to tinker with the prototype and we had an absolute blast with it. We asked Mike to let us share a sneak peek into the current state of multiplayer, and here’s a cute little screenshot he allowed us to show:



Expect to hear more about the particular mechanics of this mode closer to its public launch, but we hope that this little glimpse into Buckshot multiplayer will make the wait a little more bearable. But it won’t take too long, hopefully.

Speaking of things you can do before the multiplayer launch…

BUCKSHOT ROULETTE IS 15% OFF ON STEAM SUMMER SALE

And that means you can prepare for the multiplayer’s inevitable arrival by getting a copy of Buckshot for yourself or for your friends you’d want to have a dance between life and death with.

(or just stuff Buckshot in your shopping cart along with some other games with decent discounts you’re never gonna install after buying, we don’t really mind that outcome as well.)

But that’s not all. We collabed with Strange Scaffold to bring you yet another Buckshot Roulette bundle, now with an incredible (and dearly beloved by us) indie gem El Paso, Elsewhere.

Introducing Super Strange Indie Shooter Bundle. Our title game is on point, we know. You know the drill: you get a better deal on two great games, we get more people in our nightclub. A win-win for everyone.

What else is there? Oh right, a reminder that there is still time to get into the Mike’s Twitter Art Contest. To participate, draw your OC (original character) as the Dealer, using this screenshot.



Then head over to Twitter (currently known as X) and post your creation using #buckshot_oc tag. That's it!

In our next devlog, Mike will pick the winners and reward them with Buckshot swag:

• 1st Place - Buckshot OST vinyl, signed by Mike himself
• 2nd Place - The Dealer plushie
• 3rd Place - Assorted Buckshot merch like stickers and acrylic charms from CR Channel

And last, but not least, we have a quick announcement from CR Channel Crew.

As we continue to explore the medium of surreal and atmospheric experiences and push it further, we’re happy to announce that Arctic Eggs, a game from our friends at The Water Museum, is joining the CR Channel Crew… and is available now on Steam for 20% off at Steam Summer Sale!

Can you fry eggs on top of Mount Everest? Should you even try? How many eggs, sardines and cigarettes does it even take to make an omelette? Find your answers in Arctic Eggs, a Sci-Fi cooking game where you take up the role of a Poultry Peddler stuck in Antarctica and longing for a way out.



That’s all for today, High Rollers. We’ll return quite soon, but for now make sure to join the CR Channel Discord, because… you never know, maybe we’ll need some volunteers to test the Buckshot Roulette multiplayer or something.

If you’re gonna bet on someone, bet on yourself.
And if that doesn’t work out, double down on yourself.
