Eternal Die Developers Always Believed Lost in Random Would Excel as a Roguelike

Sure thing, here’s a different spin on that:

Alright, so picture this—2021 rolls around, and we get “Lost in Random.” Not even close to a roguelike, right? But somehow, the world’s dicey madness is just screaming for that fast-paced, combat vibe. Seriously.

I chatted (okay, video called—does that count as chatting?) with Martin Storm, the brain behind “Lost in Random: The Eternal Die.” He was all about reshuffling the deck, so to speak. “It just clicked,” Martin said. Well… not in those exact words, but you get me.

So, here we are, “The Eternal Die” takes the wheel. Queen Aleksandra, that baddie we love to hate. Now imagine her, with pokey little Fortune, her talkative die (why not?), battling through crazy, morphing levels. It’s like she’s stuck in this mystical box and just needs out. Can relate, I think? On Mondays, especially.

Storm mentioned something about how roguelites fit like a glove here. Tiny team at first, just poking around with ideas. Can almost see them scribbling madly on napkins. “Wanted more oomph on gameplay,” he mused. Probably over a cup of cold coffee, I bet.

Now, for “The Eternal Die,” forget leisurely strolls through the Kingdom of Random. It’s all go-go-go, much like “Hades,” honestly. Challenging, rich stuff where story bits aren’t spoon-fed. You battle your way to them. Storm admitted to the whole Hades vibe. “Supergiant deserves props,” he said, probably with a nod. Really, they brought this genre a whole new flavor.

The quirky creators at Stormteller Games are the wizards here. Not to get all trivia game on you, but half the team did their magic on “Lost in Random.” So they know their quirky onions.

What’s next? Well, Storm got all hush-hush there. But more stuff is coming for “The Eternal Die.” “We’re adding,” he hinted with a top-secret vibe. Can’t spill the beans yet. Classic. But hey, can’t wait to see what they throw our way next.

There ya go! A bit zig-zaggy, just like life.
