It's time to drop the concept for this lil' prototype.

Roguelike dice builder to the tune of Slay The Spire/Peglin with physics based dice rolls. More info under this post if you're interested in my ramblings.

It's MY game, I get to make the patch notes about whatever I want!

(The word is "Defenestration")

Gamers I need suggestions.

If you played a physics-based dice rolling game, would you prefer an orthographic or perspective view? Ignore that the dice are currently hard to read for both lol

Chat I'm cooking. Laying the foundation for different classes/characters to have access to different dice.

Made a system that detects what your physics based dice rolled. I don't want to fake the roll through a random number generator.

One of the things I'm very happy with the release of my horror game that takes around an hour to complete, is the median time played is currently at 43 minutes :)

And now, because I can't be stopped, I'm prototyping something where you throw A LOT OF DICE.

If you like horror games with a dash of humor, give THAT TIME I GOT REINCARNATED AS AN AUTONOMOUS ROBOTIC VACUUM CLEANER a try!
