Excellent game, would love to see what you could add with more time if you continued to work on it! The potential for cards / decks is huge. Well done.

I love this. The strategy isnt somthing you can get in a game with so much time prassure to make it.

Very cool, I lasted a while and was at one point close to beating the game, but no such luck.

It was fun, a tiny bit confusing at first, but learned to play within a couple turns.

Great job!

I'll be submitting my game to the jam tomorrow for the first time ever.

Pretty Hard! I won on turn 111, an auspicious number. Was trying to work out heuristics for it, but... well I had fun even if I didn't know what I was doing :D

purpledartfrog 2020-04-20 07:16

What a great entry - like I said on twitch as well ... I was a bit worried by the fact that it's not as easily "available" - you need to use a little time to get into rules - but it's all worth it. I will actually be returning to this... not only during the jam :thumbsup_tone1:

:purple_heart: :dart: :frog:

i like that i was able to start the game just randomly putting dice in to places that fit and by the end i was working on strategies for getting the best dice rolls. really good game.

darriasart 2020-04-20 07:39

Bravo, more depth than anything I could do

mcaddie 2020-04-20 10:00

Great game, found myself getting sucked in playing it! Screen Shot 2020-04-20 at 8.00.02 pm.png

96 turns. This was pretty hard, but actually very balanced and thought out. I enjoyed every minute playing and while I was frustrated by the dice rolls I was glued to the screen.

2020-04-20 12:57

Fun game! I watched some of the stream, so I knew how it worked. Still pretty pleased with my score \o/

Fun game! Pretty easy to ensure you never lose, but challenging to try to win in as few turns as possible. Well balanced and enjoyable.

ironygames 2020-04-20 15:28

This is so far my favorite game. I'm a sucker for games you could play table top, and this is definitely one of them. I haven't beaten it yet but I'll go back to it. I love the chance, the questing and the life systems.

As feedback, I think you could actually forego most of the tutorial, as the UI has explanations for it everywhere. The tricky part was understanding how the list of numbers was updated. At the beginning it was sequential, left to right. I wonder if that would make for a more challenging game? :thinking:

stanleygray 2020-04-20 16:12

Smart, interesting, and unique game concept! Fun to play and well-polished, though I don't think there is a lot of replay value unless you lose. It seems pretty easy to win once you get the basic strategy down (won in 40 turns my first game despite playing mostly randomly at first). The "music" is pretty odd... it's definitely original.

generictoast 2020-04-20 17:49

Actually a really fun game to play! I didn't really think strategy games would perform well in ludum dares but this one is really well thought out and fun! I also tuned in to some parts of your stream while you were making this game p.PNG

rich 2020-04-20 18:20

Excellent! I always enjoy your programming tutorials and streams!

taffaz 2020-04-20 19:26

Great game, you can tell you took a lot of inspiration from dicey dungeons and crafted a unique game from it. Some difficult decisions in there too. Pip Pip Hurrah!

theseusinabottle 2020-04-21 00:18

I didn't get the chance to check out the stream when you where programming due to participating in the Jam but I can tell by playing it that it must have been really productive. I like the fire crackle effect and the dice roll. Definitely a good game.

bloody-xdlol 2020-04-21 00:29

wow quill that is currently the best game i played today fun-wise. great Job. Pip Pip Hurrah!

watched part of the stream. but got to create a game for the first time in the jam category thanks to your ludum-dare streams!!!

kingmatthew 2020-04-21 04:09

A very creative game! I have never seen a die builder before. There are so many possibilities with card interactions and die combos. Watched the stream too, while participating my self. Great work!

dxk2294 2020-04-21 09:28

Great, really fun game! I felt a bit overwhelmed by the tutorial screens, but after a couple of turns I fully understood what was going on. This is one of the most fun LD games I've played, I love that there's a lot of genuine strategy and decision making

This is great. Dice builders are one of my favorite genres in boardgames!

corporation 2020-04-21 15:55

Bringing to life such a deep mechanics in 2 days is insane. Nice job!

slimabob 2020-04-22 01:03

Very interesting game! It's easy to understand, but surprisingly challenging. The audio is great as well! Good job :)

kunonooni 2020-04-22 04:33

Well Done Quill! I popped into the stream periodically to check up on how the game was coming along. It turned out real nice. Congrats on another successful LD!

interface 2020-04-22 04:35

As usual, some very deep mechanics. I'll admit I had some trouble figuring out what was going on while playing. The explanation in the beginning helps, but once I started playing I wish I good go back to some help (or did I miss that option?) Took me several defeats before I started getting the hang of it. Great work!

wasd 2020-04-22 06:29

Very cool entry quill. Allways happy to see more content of you.

potatoandtaco 2020-04-22 09:38

Confusing at the start, but at the end I felt I did confident choises. Nice and replayable.

Oh and I won in 60 turns!

purpledartfrog 2020-04-22 14:12

@wasd absolutely agree and it's sad that he doesn't do much Unity stuff on his channels anymore... there are other channels that technically are just as good but I've always loved the approach and feel of his teachings (young skywalker) :rofl:

@quill18 I ABSOLUTELY miss content from the Quill18Creates channel ... or is it because I need to use twitch (although I haven't seen much in there except for gaming and of course LD's)

wasd 2020-04-22 14:30

@purpledartfrog asking the real questions here :)

lars-erik 2020-04-22 16:18

Love the theme. Played it a bit late yesterday, so might have done better when more awake. Felt that the progress was a bit too slow, like the game punished me all the time. Otherwise, as others have mentioned, nice depth and cool usage of dice. One of the better entries wrt. complexity and logic.

xbcw 2020-04-22 17:57

I love the strategy that you were able to get within 48 hours. Game feels very polished. Nice work.

selftitled 2020-04-22 18:11

Interesting take on a dice game, had the steam on in the background as I worked on my own game, so nice to finally get to play it. Turns out, I have no affinity with the fire gods.

weirdybeardyman 2020-04-22 23:27

Nice one quill, I wasn't very good at it but it made me keep playing until I worked it out :)

phixnay 2020-04-23 19:39

Cool! On my second try I got 41. Learning :)

yazara 2020-04-24 10:57

Great concept for a game! I played it through :) The quests are really engaging, the strategic depth is nice and there's a decent amount of variety. The only weak point are the graphics

nonon 2020-04-25 14:22

Very nice concept, I usually don't really like games with dice because of the randomness, however I was pleasently surprised. I enjoy the strategy and the quests. Keep going!

oxters 2020-04-30 16:38

Really fun game, it has a nice twist to the dice gameplay. I was able to build two monuments, then the third one was really difficult. I'm pretty sure if I tried again, I can do better.

roka-josh 2020-04-30 23:18

Great game, managed to get a victory after a few attempts. Really liked this one a lot!

sierpinski-simon 2020-05-03 16:37

Winningg.png That was fun

2020-05-07 01:09

I love this game... I follow the creation process and think that you did an excellent job! It was very fun to play!

nyxkn 2020-05-10 13:25

Great game! I spent quite a while playing until I managed to win. Very addicting! The soundtrack was unique and fitting super well with the game; it did so much for the mood! Really felt like a complete game. Thanks for the experience!
