There is no sign more encouraging than when you are QAing your game and realise you are actually enjoying playing.
Might sound weird, but anyone who works in dev knows with how much you spend staring at the client, it's hard to see it as a game at times.

The primal fear when you finally get your Steam Page published in a WIP / early state just to work on live changes and you wake up to 50+ wishlists without you mentioning it or sending it to anyone

Making games is pretty cool sometimes I guess. Reconstructing / parallaxing a piece by the incredibly talented @carsondrewit.bsky.social (we'll show you it properly soon!)

For anyone: Games look silly and "bad" often right up until the finishing phases putting together their true release builds.
Here's what my current dev version of Dice with Death looks like with grey boxes and placeholders. Don't get put off by not starting at the finish line. #GameDev #IndieDev

The Soldier's portrait from Dice with Death!
His unique passive summons reinforcements (dice) to the battle (uh, bowl) when you roll duplicates!
If you like the sound of rolling 20 dice instead of 6, he's the one for you.

Posting updates and peeks at Dice With Death more in January - thanks for all the new follows!
We've been hard at work on the feel of the game mechanically and aesthetically. Here's some item design we're doing!

The Witch! One of our playable characters in Dice With Death.
She summons her Familiar dice to replace those you Bank, giving her some solid staying power in a round. We designed her aesthetic using Celtic history and hedge magic - art by awesome @mopmey.bsky.social

Games Journalism is getting a lot of brutal attacks these days for reviews, but this is a symptom of a long term self-inflicted problem. But it's not the problem people think.
It's score inflation. How are journalists meant to give nuanced scores in a world where 7 = Bad, 8 = Good and 9 = Great?

Classes in Dice With Death are the departed, their core mechanics related to who they were & how they died.
This is the Healer, fallen to the plague she spent her life treating. For people who love poisons and status effects she's a fun one!
