  Roll the Bones major PLAYTEST stars now

  The floodgates are officially open!Go refresh your Steam library. Seriously, right now. The Roll The Bones playtest is live, and we're letting applicants in as I type this. You can still join if you haven't applied before, and your access will be granted instantaneously. We’re at that weird dev tunnel-vision stage and desperately need fresh eyeballs. When you boot up, you'll see a downright radioactive BIG GREEN feedback button squatting on the main menu. First - play. The playtest version of the game is more robust than the previously available demo version. Give it some time. Fiddle around. Then get back to the green button. Please click it. Pour your thoughts into that mercifully short form—tell us what feels deliciously overpowered, and what's just flat-out busted.Two quick logistical things before you start slinging spell-dice:The playtest time-limited. We honestly have no clue when we'll pull the plug yet. Don't panic, though; we’ll holler with a clear heads-up a few days before it actually ends.Bring backup. You can invite up to 3 friends! It would mean the world to us if you used those invites to get more chaotic data flowing our way.Figure out a wildly irresponsible loadout, and go roll some bones. Yours,--ShrimpPS. If you haven't yet - please click the "Wishlist now" button! This will be a great help for us to get Steam to love us more. Here' you can use this here handy widget to do so:

  Dev Diary #1

  Hey!I've decided to post some (hopefully regular) updates regarding the development process of Roll The Bones. (Features presented in these updates won't be available in current demo version)So what am I currently working on?Angel enemiesAngelic Temple map designWall spellsAs for the first two - Angelic Temple is gonna be one of the main dungeon gates of the game, a more difficult one at that (S-Rank). Therefore it needs some high-difficulty enemies. I'm hoping to make Angels pretty tough to deal with with their precise & high power light beams. As for the "Wall" spells... well, they're exactly what you think they are. Walls. That you cast. Currently I've got Fire, Ice and Thorn walls (each version has 5 levels). Let me know if you've got any ideas for more wall spells ^^~Shrimpːprawnː
