We released the first build for Dice Deluxe, our first game!!
Hey all, a little less than a year ago, my best friend and I started a small project: a roguelike deck builder based on Yahtzee (heavily inspired by Balatro, of course).
At first we worked on it as a side project, but we ended up spending dozens of hours on it and realized it had more potential than just something we would play together for fun.
Basically, it's a simple game where you have to score as many points as possible by playing Yahtzee figures with 5 dice that you can fully customize by swapping their faces for new ones with unique effects. We worked on adding a lot of ways to improve your run, both temporarily and permanently, and packed in as many dice effects as we could (I think we're at around 70 at this point)
I shared my progress on this sub twice before and the feedback was really positive! You guys made me actually want to release this, so here we go! This is the first build I'm posting on itch (before eventually releasing on Steam, but we're not quite there yet). A lot of things are still missing, mainly audio effects and music, because I want to create them myself but have no idea where to start...
I'd love some feedback! I made the game playable directly in the browser so downloading and installing isn't necessary. Hopefully nobody will run into any game-breaking bugs, but if you do, I'd really appreciate it if you let me know here or on the itch page 😄
I'm thinking of posting this build on some gamedev subreddits too, but they're a bit intimidating lol
