| 2 Years of Buckshot Roulette | 2026-04-04 | GREETINGS, HIGH ROLLERSTime flies when you keep waking up in the same restroom over and over again.It’s already been two years since the first shot rang out inside the nightclub. Back then it was a nasty little experiment. A grimy game for weird people with steady hands and questionable decision-making skills. How it all started.Now?There are more than 9 million High Rollers in the world. Also, somehow, 100,000+ reviews on Steam.That is a completely unreasonable amount of people to gather in one place unless you are founding a nation. So let’s just call it what it is: BUCKSHOT NATION. And to every single one of you who stepped into the club, |
| BUCKSHOT ROULETTE x Fangamer Merch Drop Out Now | 2026-01-27 | Greetings, High Rollers Last time we met, we left off with a little teaser of more BUCKSHOT ROULETTE merch coming this year. How about we take the excitement up a notch? A brand new BUCKSHOT ROULETTE Merch Drop is available now on Fangamer. And let us tell you: this one is a blast. We got some computer game goods that would get any High Roller’s heart pumping. Vinyls, deskmats, hats even. No shotguns full of blank and live rounds just yet, though. Go ahead, treat yourself, money is only temporary, but greed is eternal.

Shall we keep playing? | 2025-12-23 | Greetings, High Rollers We’ve been through this quite a few times, yet it doesn’t get any less thrilling or exciting with each post. Last December it was about 4 million High Rollers, this time we’re celebrating OVER 8 MILLION HIGH ROLLERS IN BUCKSHOT ROULETTE That’s insane, right? Like, when you really think about it, 8 million people who all played a small horror game… There are whole countries with fewer citizens than you, our daring High Rollers. It’s hard to find words to express how grateful we are to all of you. From a small experimental game on Itch.io to Steam, to Multiplayer and now this ginormous number. Our dearest Thank You to ev |

| s.p.l.i.t. by Mike Klubnika is OUT NOW on Steam | 2025-07-24 | Greetings, High Rollers Or should I rather say... future cybercrime convicts? s.p.l.i.t, a short horror story about hacking, unethical superstructure and despair, by Mike Klubnika is out now on Steam. A cramped dark room lit by countless screens. An IRC chat with fellow technicians. And one long night to gain root access to a superstructure of unethical electronics. Unconscionable secrets and vulnerabilities lie buried deep below legacy code and engineering. Only with meticulous planning and unwavering composure will they be unearthed. It all comes down to this.

| 6 Million High Rollers and counting, new games by Mike Klubnika and… a movie? | 2025-05-08 | Greetings, High Rollers Today we’d like to begin by saying… Oh, my . Remember last time when we spoke about the sales numbers of Buckshot? We were all like “Yeah, we’re past 4 mil, let’s meet up at 8 next time”. I don’t think we expected to make that announcement any time soon. And we’re not. Not today, at least. But it almost feels bad to skip out on huge milestone, so today we’re incredibly happy to announce that BUCKSHOT ROULETTE HAS SURPASSED 6 MILLION COPIES SOLD ON STEAM To all of you, from those who were with us from our humble pre-multiplayer beginnings to those who recently joined our nightclub – thank you so, so much. Of course, thi |
| Buckshot Roulette – Official Merch Restocked and Reloaded. How fortunate. | 2025-01-15 | Greetings, High Rollers Today’s announcement is on a shorter side, but very important for us nonetheless. The BUCKSHOT ROULETTE T-Shirts are back on menu via our beloved friends and partners at Fangamer If you ever wanted to have the Dealer close to your heart and you mean that literally, consider getting one right now since apparently the stock runs out fairly quickly. We’ve also infused a third of the T-Shirt stock with a special power to always have a live round whenever you saw off a shotgun. Who knows, maybe you’ll get one of them? It’s a gamble and you seem to love it, right? But that’s not all. We also now have The Dealer Pins. Featuri |

| Buckshot Roulette Reached 4,000,000 Sales – And We Have A Present For You | 2024-12-10 | Greetings, High Rollers It feels incredibly sentimental to write another one of these posts. After all, underneath our ruthless and greedy personas of Illegal Gambling Ringmasters are still just a bunch of nerds who love seeing people enjoy our video games. Even if some of the time they’re mad at us for getting blasted with a hand sawed shotgun in the face. So we want to thank each and every one of you for taking part in our dance between life and death and bringing BUCKSHOT ROULETTE to over 4,000,000 sales. Our dream of making 1 Million 4-People-Lobbies is now achievable! But we don’t want to stop there. We too are High Rollers at heart, so |
| Nominate Buckshot Roulette for "Most Innovative Gameplay Award"! | 2024-11-28 | Greetings, High Rollers! Firstly, we’d like to share some development news. The voices requesting matchmaking in Buckshot Multiplayer overwhelmed even the nightclub’s music and the gunshots in the basement — we’re working on adding matchmaking into the game in the next update! https://i.imgur.com/B9FKUf6.gif Now we don’t have a concrete release date for it, but Lobby selection will be available soon and currently is in testing. Speaking of. It’s almost the end of the year, and you’ve probably noticed something thawing out from its slumber (besides festive songs). It’s the Steam Awards, baby! We won’t be pointing any shotguns at you, but might |
| Match Customization, Free Look and QoL improvements and more — available now! | 2024-11-16 | Greetings, High Rollers Hope you’ve missed us – been a while since the multiplayer launch after all. We sure did. Today we are bringing you our first substantial update for the multiplayer with some of the most requested features (that were easier to implement than the public matchmaking) and neat QoL improvements. Thank you so much for giving us your feedback – both Mike and the CR Channel Crew wanted to make sure you all know that we see everything and we’re building a roadmap for future updates as we are writing these patch notes. We’ll chat about that later when we’re ready though, stay tuned for that in the near future. And now, let’s ge |
