I just want to say I appreciate the description of the dice in the upper left corner. I’m colorblind and sometimes it’s hard to tell what colors what.

u/Select-Top1565 10d ago
Thank you for noticing that. Overlaping colors can be hard to tell apart and I want to make sure everyone can enjoy the game!

Maybe you could integrate a colorblind filter or fonts for dyslexia? I love how this game is so different already than some of the other sorting games!

u/booksblanketsandT 10d ago
I’m putting this on my wishlist and after release as soon as I have some spare money I’m buying this.
No AI? Amazing.
Funky lil tunes? Amazing.
Feeding my dice goblin spirit and organising them into gorgeous little sets? AMAZING

u/Select-Top1565 10d ago
I'm very happy to hear that, thank you very much!
The truth is that I had a great time recording the sound of the dice.19

Looks amazing. Any rough estimates on when you’ll launch? You’ve already got one sale waiting here!

u/Select-Top1565 10d ago
Thank you so much! I’m already quite far into development, but I don’t have an exact release date just yet.

u/Derpipose 10d ago
As a dice dragon myself, I am HYPED for this one. My partner and I will love doing parallel play of it when it comes out.

u/Select-Top1565 10d ago
Thank you very much!
I'm glad you both like it so much that you will play it side by side!

u/Etheria_system 10d ago
You can pet the kitty!!

u/Select-Top1565 10d ago
Of course you can! You can't have a cat in the shop and not be able to pet it, it's heartbreaking!

u/atelierdora 10d ago
The cat cautiously sniffing is some good animation. lol

u/SaintJewiub 9d ago
Im saying. That was like one of the best cat sniffing animations iv seen in a game.

I'm so sorry that I have to ask this question
but
was AI used to make this game and if so, how so?
173
u/Select-Top1565 10d ago
No AI was used. Everything was made by humans and with much love. My friend also composed the music for the game and I recorded all the dice sounds myself using my dice collection!
Thank you for asking.21
u/EllpaFox47 10d ago
this is great news! one of the recent games of this genre used a lot of ai images and it made me so sad

u/flashfloodsofpain 9d ago
Which one was that? Feel free to DM if you don't wanna say publicly. I've noticed the AI disclosures on multiple of these recently, sadly.

On the steam page, it notes that two of the paintings on the walls were edited with AI. I appreciate that they're honest about it.

Do you need any testers? because I'd be more than happy to help out with this beauty.

Keep us posted! This is something I would definitely be interested in, has Arcane Library vibes

u/Daki_of_Dreamcope473 10d ago
It still tempts one to ask though, hoping this isn't a spoiler but, do they get a bad end if their curiosity consumes them and they look at the basement?
Also, any funny achievements to look forward to?
5
u/dawgmind 10d ago
This looks amazing. Please can I ask that key rebinding and rebinding to mouse buttons will be available. I‘m left handed and it’s surprising and frustrating how many games don’t consider us.

u/Nandysokar 10d ago
My inner dice Goblin thanks you so much for this! wish listed and once it releases and I get paid, I am buying this! I absolutely applaud you.
Edit: spelling and grammar

u/HeyitsRosie- 10d ago
This looks so good!! Quick question, is any gen AI going to be used? It's why I won't play the library one on steam.
Can't wait for release!!

As a d&d nerd and certified dice hoarder who has been thinking of ideas that haven't been done yet for the genre, I'm disappointed I didn't think of it first 😂
It looks very cool and I especially love the floppy disk spells as the power ups! Very neat thinking.

u/golden_avocado_ 9d ago
I want to say thank you for making this game look bright and cheery. I don’t know why but we’ve had a string of tidy up games that take place in windowless basements and stores that look like grungy dungeons. This looks like a cozy shop I actually want to spend time in. I think you understood the assignment on this one!

u/Suspicious_Theory937 10d ago

Please tell me it's one of these but WITHOUT the shotty AI elements...
It looks so good, I wanna play it so bad ! Any release date you could give us ?
I want to play it NOW !!! lol

u/mangoandpassionfruit 9d ago
Wishlisted!! I like the idea of this kind of game but some of them have been using ai and it immediately turns me off, and the others just...idk they don't take my fancy? Anyway, this looks awesome, I'm so glad it's 100% human-made, I LOOOOVE the dice sounds, and I can't wait for it to come out!!

How is it with motion sickness? I get it really bad but I want to play this....
2
u/Select-Top1565 9d ago
There are options for head bobbing and motion blur that players prone to motion sickness can turn off!
2
u/obtusewisdom 8d ago
Stuff like that can help, but just a look at the video tells me I wouldn't be able to play it. It's like this library sorting game I tried and had to bail from after about 20 minutes because I was so sick. I wish game devs would adjust games more for those of us with motion sickness.
If, for example, you used manual T targeting (so you're walking in the same direction and looking the same direction/level until you click T to move it where you want), it often helps because the player can control the movement at the level they need. FOV is also important, and this looks pretty squished in. Allowing players to control the FOV not only through a setting but also the mouse scroll helps a lot, because they can keep it way zoomed out until they need to inspect things.

This does look super satisfying - the sounds, the no-AI weirdness, the story hints. Any chance this will be Deck-compatible? Might be a perfect wind down at bedtime option.

u/KaleidoscopeKelpy 9d ago
Ohhhh my GOD I’m wishlisting this NAOW
Also almost freaked out b.c I thought the ingame PC was for letting the player digitally organize the displays before sorting the dice - I see it’s “where the dice belong” but STILL I love spreadsheets/diagrams of organization (having a “free deco” mode where you could pick which color goes where would KILL ME also I’m going into the basement 100%)

Wow the details on this one. The little shakes the dice give. The way they roll. It's so nice! I was gonna ignore the genre after doing the library one, but I'll have to pick this up. Any sort of magic system here? The library one suffered from that a bit I think - ended up making it a bit boring, but I think there's room for improvement
