Cosmo D here.

I've posted the second Dev Diary for my next game, Moves of the Diamond Hand.

This diary goes into depth on a new gameplay element in this game - wandering agents who patrol certain areas of the game, similar to guards in an immersive sim. But how you interact with them builds on Club Low and the Diamond Hand demo - with dice, of course.

Thank you for continuing on this journey with me.

Cosmo D here.

I just shared the first dev diary for my next game, Moves of the Diamond Hand.

If you’ve played Betrayal at Club Low, this one builds on that same chaotic spirit—but with a deeper, more flexible dice system centered on tension, storytelling, and strategy. And if you’ve played my earlier games: we’re back in first-person! It’s a melding—and deepening—of all the elements.

This post is all about dice drama: how I simulate rolls, why I love having too many dice, and how each one tells its own little story.

This Demo represents Chapter 1 of the game. It alone is roughly the length of Betrayal At Club Low and will be part of Steam Next Fest this coming week.

This game brings together everything I’ve been building over the past ten years—refining my dice mechanics from Club Low while returning to the immersive first-person perspective of my earlier work.

Thanks for your support thus far, and I'm looking forward to continuing on this journey with you!

Earlier this year I posted a screenshot teaser for the game I've been working on since I finished The Norwood Suite. But now the timeline is set and the release is imminent: Put it on your wish-list: Tales From Off-Peak City Vol. 1 is coming soon!

About the game:

It’s a hazy Sunday morning on the corner of July Avenue and Yam Street. Caetano Grosso, a former saxophone player and longtime pizza-maker, is just getting his pizza oven warmed up. Orders are trickling in, and he needs someone to help with the deliveries. You sense an opportunity, but unbeknownst to him, what you’re really after is his old saxophone, and you’re going to get it one way or another. Your pursuit will set off a chain of events across the neighborhood, taking you deep into the hidden worlds and private lives of the people living there.

Tales From Off-Peak City is a first-person adventure game series, all set on, around, and under a single street corner. Filled with memorable characters and the spaces they inhabit, the game provides an open-ended world full of secrets and hidden agendas. Building on the gameplay foundations of Off-Peak and The Norwood Suite, players will explore the streets and its surroundings, make pizzas, take photos, push buttons, open drawers they’re not supposed to, and lose themselves inside the atmospheric musical score that integrates itself directly into the game world.

Volume 1: Caetano’s Slice is the first game of many in the anthology of Tales. While each ‘Volume’ is its own self-contained story and experience, taken together, they build towards the larger over-arching narrative of what’s really going on at the corner of July Avenue and Yam Street and what role you ultimately play in its fate.

My next game is called Tales From Off-Peak City. I'll have more to say on it as the year unfolds, but in the meantime, you can follow its progress on my Discord channel[discord.gg]. Watch this space...
