Hi everyone,
I'm making a game called Horn & Dice. It's a roguelike dice-builder set in a dark world inspired by Slavic mythology.
It's inspired by Slay the Spire and by the board game Dice Forge. If you haven't heard of Dice Forge: it's a board game where the dice are literally taken apart. You pop faces off a die and buy new, stronger ones. The idea is great, but in the end it leans too much on luck. You roll and hope a good face comes up, and when you upgrade a die, you just swap out its weakest face and that's where the story ends.
That's what I wanted to fix: luck should decide as little as possible, and your decisions as much as possible. I think I pulled it off.
Over a run you build your own set of dice. You add new ones, swap their faces for ones that suit you better, and you can even upgrade a single face so it comes up more often. In combat you roll everything at once, lock what works, and reroll the rest. Some effects need several matching faces. The result is a game where luck still exists, but it's not the thing that decides.
The enemies and bosses you fight come from Slavic mythology: Ala, Azhdaya, Zmey, Vila and more.
The game is in Early Access. You can play it from start to finish, but there's still work to do:
- Visuals: some of the UI and art still doesn't look the way it should. That's my number one priority right now.
- Balance: some builds are clearly stronger than they should be.
- Content: more enemies, artifacts, events and die faces. I'm still deciding exactly what to add.
