New York, 20 August, 2024 - Peepod Inc., is excited to announce a Rogue Rollout demo update. The deckbuilding dice game has received 3 unlockable dice skins with at least 10 more skins planned for the future. Players can unlock these dice skins by completing various challenges inside the game. Players of the free public demo will be able to unlock one of these three skins for completing the demo. The solo developer behind Peepod Inc., has also done a complete balancing update to the artifact cards to make some of the less used builds more viable.
The public demo released for Rogue Rollout on August 8th, and a 1.0 launch is planned for November 11th. Based on community feedback, there have been a rebalance of many artifact cards.
