Eternal Die’s Developers Always Knew Lost in Random Was Perfect for a Roguelike

Alright, so here goes nothing. Let’s dive into this wild world of games and randomness, shall we? I don’t know, maybe it’s just me, but ever since I first heard about it, this whole mix of dice—yes, actual dice—and adventure has been kind of sticking in my brain. Lost in Random, that’s the game we’re talking about, and it just feels like it was begging for something more chaotic. I mean, who doesn’t love a bit of randomness, right? Or maybe I just like chaos—who knows.

So, get this, the folks behind it had this lightbulb moment about merging the zaniness of their original game with the fast-moving rollercoaster that is the roguelike genre. I’m not even sure if I’m saying that right, roguelike roguelite—I always get those confused. Anyway—wait, where was I—yeah, they figured this would be a neat twist. Like, how can you make things a bit crazier? Enter The Eternal Die. It’s like they yanked the antagonist, Queen Aleksandra (doesn’t that name sound grand?), and her chatty dice friend—yeah, the die talks or something—into these whirlwind battles. Imagine that! No time to snooze or wander like in the first outing.

Martin Storm’s the guy steering the ship this time, and he said—I’m paraphrasing because, why not—they kicked things off small. Tiny team, big ideas. I’m not sure if they’re just spontaneous or if they had this eureka moment while bingeing on—well, whatever game developers binge on these days. But what came out is like, this intense rush, much like that time I tried skateboarding. Not brave enough for a second round after that fall.

And then, because life’s full of little clues and influences, they drew a bit from Hades—no, not the underworld guy, I mean the game. Ever tried it? If you haven’t, give it a whirl—it’s a game, not a cult initiation. But, really, hats off to Supergiant Games for… I dunno, reinventing the way we see these narrative-packed mazes.

Changing gears for a sec, Stormteller Games is the crew this time. But here’s the twist, half of them are veterans from the first game. It’s like getting the band back together for one last, epic session. They must have some secret sauce that I totally don’t get—maybe a dice roll of creativity?

As for what comes next from these dice-loving maniacs? Well, the answers are shrouded in mystery, or so they say. Storm hints—really lightly—that there’s more in store for The Eternal Die. It’s like waiting for the next season of your favorite show, only you don’t really know when or what might happen.

So, there you have it—dice, randomness, chaos, and all the fun stuff in between. Feels like some wild ride, doesn’t it? Or not. But hey, who am I to judge?
