Hark! A new roguelike joins the roundtable! 🎲

In Dicealot, classic Farkle dice rolls are juiced up with multipliers, crazy quest dice, and a bewitching medieval adventure to discover.

Play the demo now and see how hard you can hit, but beware—Farkle and you could lose it all!

Cartoon style art for Dicealot. Background is blue and lighter blue lines spreading out from a central point. In the centre is a knight in armour on a horse with a cloak under it's reigns.

Image shows the player, a red haired knight with a flaming sword facing a knight on a horse on the right. Around them are statistics about health and hit points. On the left is the dice rolling area. There are two scoring dice on the bottom and some special dice along the top that multiply score. Screenshot from Dicealot. Image shows the combinations of dice you can roll to score points.

Don't just listen to players. If given the option, they'll optimize the game out of their games, and the story out of their stories. It's our job to filter information and data and feedback into good work, and while we'll sometimes miss it's better than blindly following surveys.
joshmlabelle.bsky.social Josh @joshmlabelle.bsky.social · Feb 22
I once worked on a visual novel game where all the surveys and focus groups said that nobody wanted romance, they only wanted mystery and sci-fi.

Then 75+% of clicks in-game went to stories with explicit romantic or sexy themes.

www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...
'These kids do not care about romance': Game devs want to know what today's teens want, and surveys say sex and romance isn't it
Young people want stories about friendship more than romance, say researchers and industry execs.

Really nice piece on Jingle Jam from @gibiz.bsky.social www.gamesindustry.biz/video-games-....

We worked with Jingle Jam when I was at Curve - but it's been a real privilege to get involved from inside. Look out for announcement on how Yogscast Games is supporting soon 👀
