- Devlog: Progression & Rewards - 28 February 2026
Hey all! Time for another teaser on what's to come in the imminent Dread Update, as well as some insights from Stef, our creative lead, on the purpose and intention behind the changes and additions. First up we know variety is key, so we’ve tried to add a sprinkling of new content across the whole game, this includes new quest dice and vassals but also a new class and dice effect that comes with progression in the game. This is on top of new visual updates including cosmetics that you can unlock to keep things looking fresh! Magik dice are a new stackable effect that can be unlocked, alongside quest dice that relate to this new mechanic. This should give you another build path to explore and it’s linked with the unlockable class to help you get the most out of the mechanic. whats this? suprise dice?Stef adds that for progress rewards originally we went down the route of ‘more quest dice…
- Devlog: The Dread Update - 17 February 2026
Hey folks, Dicealot devs here with some news on what we’ve been working on and some of the things you can expect from our next major patch, we’re calling the ‘Dread Update!’ Previously, the difficulty progression (known as Dread) was pretty linear, foe health increased at a flat rate and the only incentive to keep beating higher difficulties was for the love of the game and those precious achievements. No longer! We’re working on an overhaul of the whole system, Dread is much more of a curve now, so you’ll find the lower difficulty levels easier by comparison, but the highest levels are going to be seriously tough. To help you out and reward you for your climb, you’ll find new rewards waiting for beating each Dread level. We’ll be teasing more of the types of rewards you can expect in an upcoming devlog, but it’s a mix of everything, including a whole new system and class that can only…

Happy Friday, dice rollers!We hope you're still enjoying Dicealot and all the updates and fixes we've been rolling out! We've hit 142 reviews, we're so close to the thirs community stretch goal! Tell a friend, tell your grandparents, tell your pets - Dicealot is the coolest (duh, totally not biased).This week on Behind the Dice, we asked the devs: What was your motivation for getting into game development?This one's from Stefan!"It sounds cliché but I have always wanted to make games. Even when I was studying acting, me and my then housemate were making paper prototypes of table top games to amuse ourselves. In my first year of the games arts course I studied, I formed a group of my peers to try and do some extracurricular game development (shout out to the short lived Rush Studios), nothing came of it but you can see the pattern emerging. The motivation for goodviewgames however, came…

- Behind the Dice: Easter Eggs! - 17 October 2025
Hey folks!It is once again Friday and the weekend is almost upon us (hooray!) What are your plans for this weekend? This week on Behind the Dice, we asked the devs: Are there any fun easter eggs in the game? Read on to find out!There are a few! Well it depends on your definition I suppose. Even though we didn’t really have the bandwidth to do much storytelling, I wanted to sneak as much worldbuilding in as possible. Many of the characters contain references to particular bits of Arthurian lore, Balin’s thinly veiled nods to the fact he accidentally killed his brother, the playable spear wreathed in the beards of defeated kings, etc. In a more traditional sense this is also true. A couple of the achievement names are Monty Python lines, and we included some real-life knights into the foe roster! Namely Reginald, a hastily pieced together character used in a fantastic Dicealot promotional…

- Behind the Dice: Lessons - 3 October 2025
Hello everyone! It's been a while since we've met on another Behind the Dice - we've been busy busy getting the game shaped up and ready for launch! We're less than a week away, can you believe that?? We're still pinching ourselves over here. It's been such a fun journey and we've been so happy to have you along with us, supporting us, leaving reviews and feedback - the whole deal! And on that note, this week we asked the devs: What are some of the biggest things you've learned through the development process of the game?It's an endless list really, especially as this is our first independent game we have been wholly responsible for. I think the most useful stuff for us going forward usually falls into one of two camps: things we don’t like doing, and things we are bad at. Being acutely aware of your own shortcomings is important for something like this I would wager, we know better whe…
