Founder’s Vision:
“Archon Soul‘s development began December 2023. I was playing a LOT of Slay the Spire at the time (as one does) and had recently played Dicey Dungeons as well. I had the idea to fuse the two games together, but I wanted to focus more heavily on the dice side than the spells. The dice could be more interesting than just an RNG mechanic, which can sometimes be frustrating when the dice don’t roll in your favor. This led him to the ability to change the value of the dice faces, which lets you tune your dice to your spell’s requirements more easily, and reduces the frustration of RNG.
An issue I ran into early is that, like in Dicey Dungeons, there is limited spell space by virtue of UI constraints. With the number of spells capped at 7, spell synergy is somewhat limited compared to Slay the Spire where you can have any number of cards in your deck. So what if your dice faces could act as spell upgrades? You could already modify the face values, why not add other effects to the dice? That way you can synergize not just your spells with your other spells, but your dice with your spells, and your dice even with themselves? That’s when the game’s identity really solidified.”
