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

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!

WIP early character concepts for one of the starting classes for Dice with Death - The Soldier.
This guy's core mechanic calls his "reinforcements" to the roll, triggering extra dice on certain conditions!

Ahh the "grand" reveal, also known as finally having some fantastic key art.
You have died. The good news is Death is eager to help you process this via a friendly game of Dice. Or is he just bored?
Anyway, we're working on Dice With Death. A dice-builder made in a pixelated 3d! #GameDev #IndieDev

Know what we left behind in the 90s that we should have carried forward? FMVs in video game narratives.

DWD Dev Mini-blog 1: Early work for me often revolves around modelling play patterns. One of the things I did in the last year was improve my use of Excel to do so. Last day has been creating a dice rolling, hand detecting sheet in Visual Basic to nail down base scoring. #GameDev #IndieDev
