Eternal Die Developers Always Believed in Lost in Random’s Roguelike Potential

Alright, so let’s dive into this wild journey called Lost in Random: The Eternal Die. I mean, who thought mixing dice with frantic combat would make sense? But here we are. The crew behind 2021’s Lost in Random figured this zany world needed a roguelike twist. And, honestly, maybe they were onto something weirdly brilliant.

Martin Storm, the big mind steering this new roguelike ship, tells us it was about tossing a new spin on the IP. You know, the usual “wouldn’t it be cool if” brainstorms. And then—bam!—The Eternal Die was born. Ever tried being the bad guy? Here, you take on Queen Aleksandra, the one-time villain from the original game. Somehow, you’re trapped by some magical doodad and have to buddy up with a sentient die called Fortune. Mind-boggling, right?

Storm’s team started tiny. Like, “let’s see if this thing even rolls” tiny. They dreamed it up as a roguelite, focusing way more on gameplay and combat. No room for dawdling here—those tough-as-nails roguelikes don’t wait up for anyone. They’ve got serious Hades vibes too. Shoutout to Supergiant Games for nailing the mix of story and action. Who knew it could blend so seamlessly?

You’d think shifting developers might change the game’s quirky soul. But no. Stormteller Games, with half the gang from the first round of development, keeps that oddball heart beating strong. Sure, it sounds like marketing fluff, but you kinda believe it when Storm talks about the team’s connection.

Future plans? Secretive much, Storm? All he says is they’re cooking up more for The Eternal Die. What exactly? That’s locked tighter than a dragon’s hoard. But hey, more adventures possibly await. Let’s hope.
