Project Update: Development update 🎲 Improving the Roll Feel

Hi everyone,
I hope you’re all doing well! A lot has been happening behind the scenes . We’re now deep into refining the product following our T0 samples, and overall we’re in a really strong position. Most of what we’re working on now comes down to fine tuning and improving the experience, rather than fixing major issues.

🎲 Rolling Behaviour – Making It Feel Right

One of the biggest areas we’ve been focusing on is how the dice actually rolls.
We explored increasing the internal weight by testing larger weighted inserts. Interestingly, this had very little impact on performance, which tells us the balance of the dice was already in a good place.
Where we did see a noticeable improvement was in the shape of the dice itself.
By subtly rounding the top and bottom edges, the roll feels:
  •  more natural 
  •  more consistent 
  •  closer to what you’d expect from a traditional dice roll 
This has been one of the most meaningful improvements so far, and we’ll be carrying this refinement forward into the next stage.






🔘 Button Feel Improvements

Another area we’ve made strong progress on is the button feel.
The earlier samples didn’t feel quite as responsive as we wanted, so we made small internal adjustments to the button mechanism.
The result is a much more positive, tactile press that feels significantly better and more consistent to use.
This is a real upgrade:
  •  Small increase in pad height / engagement 
  •  Better tactile feedback 
  •  More consistent press 



⚙️ Internal Components - What You’re Seeing

We’ve also included some images of internal components and test parts.
These include:
  •  metal weighted inserts 
  •  internal structural parts 
  •  button assemblies 
  •  early component layouts 
At this stage, a lot of these parts are:
  •  prototype iterations 
  •  test variations 
  •  not final finishes 
So they may look a bit rough or purely functional  that’s completely normal for this phase.
What matters is that each of these parts is being tested and refined to improve:
  •  overall performance 
  •  durability 
  •  feel in-hand




 What’s Next

We’re now preparing for the next round of samples (T1), where these refinements will be implemented into the tooling. We’ll continue to keep you updated as we progress.
