Gameplay

addedNew Miniatures MechanicWe decided to add extra depth using miniatures as the "focus" of the dice game. We felt that there was a need to deliver a more physical sense of the battle, hence the miniatures that have to be assigned to your dice pool to unleash some effects. This is also leveraging some combinatory mechanics. Miniatures will behave differently or have different effects depending on dice results, dice material and also... the plane of existence you are in.

addedAstral PlanesThis game is a trip down a horrific rabbit hole. The caravan is not enough. Game bosses will drag you to their Astral Plane, where their full power can be unleashed. New plane, new rules, and you'll have to understand them and try to use them to your advantage.

Welcome to the first of many dev updates after the announcement of Dice of Arcana earlier this month! We always wanted to create a small horror title, but we needed to find the right idea, at the right time, to finally do it. Dice Of Arcana is a mix of things we think work very well together. Board/Dice games, with some deck building mechanics in it, and a dreamy/nightmerish theme, where real and surreal mix up, and anxiety kicks in.

The trailer tells a lot about how the game was one month ago. But what has happened since then?

New Miniatures Mechanic

We decided to add extra depth using miniatures as the "focus" of the dice game. We felt that there was a need to deliver a more physical sense of the battle, hence the miniatures that have to be assigned to your dice pool to unleash some effects.

Astral Planes

This game is a trip down a horrific rabbit hole. The caravan is not enough. Game bosses will drag you to their Astral Plane, where their full power can be unleashed. New plane, new rules, and you'll have to understand them and try to use them to your advantage.

New caravan design

We decided to iterate a bit more on the caravan design. Even if we liked the previous one, it was too dark and empty, and we wanted it to look more real and full of interesting spots to look on for... well... it's not only dice, you all have to know!

Stay tuned for the next update!
