Dice'n Goblins is moving closer and closer to being complete. Since we have been working as a duo for a little while, our workflow has made progress with development and game design much faster.
We have now been working on the 7th and 8th levels of the game, both set on the Moon. Those levels will contain scary threats to our little Goblin, but also new non-player characters and lore elements to discover.
We have decided to change the gameplay a bit, by introducing a skill tree. This system makes fighting monsters more rewarding by allowing players to unlock new skills for Gobby as they level up. Skills are used to exchange dice during combat, giving you more control over each throw.
As we're entering the final stages of development, we're paying more and more attention to fixing bugs and polishing the player experience. Thanks to the help of our playtesters, we have been able to catch dozens of issues, which will ensure the game releases in a stable state. We've also spent considerable time making sure the game animations and sound effects are satisfying.
On another note, we are very close to having a demo ready. The demo will contain the full first level of Dice'n Goblins. It will allow you to try out the exploration and combat before the game releases. Stay tuned for more updates about this!
