Dream Table Poker — New Dreamcast Game in Development will Include Online Multiplayer

The newest indie title for the Sega Dreamcast comes from Glowhare Studio in the form of Dream Table Poker, which is currently being developed.

It’s a poker simulation which features a number of different ways to play for solo players against the “smartest poker AI for the 128-bit era”, as well as local multiplayer for up to four players. There are even strong possibilities for online play via DreamPi, which would be absolutely mega.

Rather interestingly, and perhaps the most unique part of Dream Table Poker is that it fully utilises the VMU display on your controller to show your cards away from the main screen, so that local multiplayer games become a whole lot more fun!

But the even cooler news is that there will be a Dreamcast Junkyard themed table and card deck available in the game as well!

It’s locked behind a cheat code (just to make things extra old school) which will remain a secret for now, but it will be shared at some point when the game gets a public release. An early build was released onto itch.io back in October, but this is now unavailable as the dev wants the final release to be everyone’s first impression of the title. 

The game is still in the early stages, so we’ll not fully preview Dream Table Poker quite yet; but once we get hold of a newer build from Glowhare Studio, you can expect a full rundown of how the game is shaping up from your favourite Dreamcast news source.
