- We Are Sorry To Say... - 1 April 2026
Hello to all players of Nine Ball Roulette. Nine Ball Roulette has been online for over a year, and we are very pleased that so many players have enjoyed our game. However, after much internal struggle and countless sleepless nights of painful discussions, today, with a heavy heart and deep regret, we announce that producer Sanchez will be leaving WaveBox Labs. Just last week, during a team-building event at a real-life billiards hall, Sanchez, after missing an easy straight shot into the bottom pocket, reflexively pulled a hairdryer from his bag and held it to his chin...

- Nine-Ball Roulette With Ultimate Video Update - 18 March 2026
Everything is becoming clear. Just now, we released a brand new version of Nine Ball Roulette. This version includes a series of major optimizations: The game now supports launching with D3D12, while the previous Vulkan and OpenGL3 launch options have been retained. Overall, D3D12 and Vulkan offer similar performance, but most graphics cards support D3D12 better, while OpenGL3 is better suited for older devices. The game's rendering effects have been updated; in-game lighting and shadows are now more realistic. You can now adjust more video options in the settings, including MSAA, SSIL, volumetric fog, etc., to better adapt to different players' devices. Nine-ball roulette now supports ultrawide screens, and there are no longer black bars on monitors of different aspect ratios. Significantly optimized in-game voice chat stability, reducing in-game voice chat stuttering issues. Thank you…
