1.0 Release Date -9/15/2026-
After 5 months of Early Access and constant updates we are ready for a FULL LAUNCH. If you have not already noticed, one of the major changes is the new name. Over the last few months so many things have gotten exponentially better including mechanics, quality of life, Thematic changes, & even the main character design, so with all that i figured a Name change was in order as well. I would have loved to have been the only "Slice & Dice" but unfortunately, we fell pretty low on search results, but on the brightside as soon as i thought of "Dough or Die" as an alternative it hit the same as thinking "Slice & Dice" was the perfect name. With the New Main Character also comes Lore, Graffitti and props scattered around the city that will help tell the story of the "clearborn". A Race of humanoids thats sole purpose in life is to make pizza, some neighbors embrace the Chefs, but others want to make it know how unwelcomed the clearborns are in their neighborhood. If you already own the game, feel free to login and check out all the new updates ive added in the last couple months including a brand spanking new combat system, 10 more items, leaderboards, a huge new map, and countless QOL + optimization upgrades. Make sure to be ready for all the new content on the Launch SEPTEMBER 15th and go wishlist the Soundtrack featuring 13 full length songs from LOV8 & BRIGHTSIDE MOVEMENT releasing shortly after Hope you EnjoyRead full article on Community Announcements (Soundbyte Interactive)Patch NotesOfficial
