Nice job! I'm surprised that you had enough time to add multiplayer. I think that a tutorial would have been helpful, since the mechanics were a bit confusing.

The game is very polished, very good mechanics, thats possible to be done in 48 hours, but then I saw multiplayer features. Like… dude, thats weird. Than I started playing and it really felt like the dices were just added on top of an already finished project, because the dice mechanic didn’t quite feel polished, I can just span roll each attack.
I’m not saying you had a finished project before the jam started and just slapped dices somewhere, but if you did that would be kinda unfair to people who made their games in 48 hours.
Btw, theres some files with very suspicious dates.
Anyway, very cool game, I really enjoyed it, hope it grows, I would love to play this online with someone! Congrats!
Please don’t get defensive, you have to agree that its a hell of a feat to get a multiplayer polished game done in 48h while most people struggle with the basic logic for the theme. Also, I stated that I’m not saying you started development before the jam, I just said its sus as heck. You can’t deny its sus.
(also I can add old files to a git repo and commit today)
I mean I don't think I got that defensive just saying I've got git history to prove that we worked on it during the jam but if you are really curious and not actually just being a jerk about this: Look at all the other games I make for all the other jams I've been in. Most of them have had multiplayer of some kind built into them. And I've been doing this a long time. I am basically only interested in making multiplayer games and I want to get good at that so I focus on doing that even during jams that have very minimal timelines, it proves that I'm getting better. I can guarantee you that I did not have a preexisting game that I just dropped dice into. If you don't want to believe it that is fine. My team's growing and we are all getting better at stuff. I think I'm finally at a point where my multiplayer network code doesn't suck and it doesn't take me a ton of tries to get stuff to work correctly. As for the files you think are sus, those are just build files Unity puts into your builds, the creation date would be the same for many other Unity projects using the same version as me. I'm not here to cheat, I don't know what to tell you. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

3 artists haha, 1 doing character art, 1 doing level design, and the last polishing it all up and then a final polish pass by a fourth team member.

Yeah it would have been cool to show a different weapon for each, to really take it a step further but we were on a crunch.
Thanks for the comment! We really appreciate it!
This was a team effort from filethirteen, lunaticlucas, rokugin, Bear Jake, and SymbioticParker.

Yup sorry, wish we had put even a screen in explaining the combat system. You just have to roll in the range of the enemy to hit it. It's best to use a dice that narrows that range better for better chance of success. Like if it's (1,2) your best bet is a d4 as you have a 50% chance of getting it, whereas if you use a d20 you'd have a 10% chance.
