Duskmarch Demo – A Taste of Dice-Based Fantasy RPG

Step into the world of Duskmarch with this demo, a dice-based RPG that blends tactical combat and immersive storytelling, optimized for mobile. Create a hero, explore a limited fantasy world, and fight enemies by rolling dice to shape your fate.

What’s Included in the Demo

• Create Your Hero: Roll dice to determine your character’s stats and choose an archetype—cunning rogue, mighty warrior, or mystical spellcaster. Reach up to level 2, unlocking new skills or spells for early challenges.

• Explore a Limited World: Navigate a 2D global map by spending movement points to visit locations and unlock access to the first castle. These locations feature interactive stories, dialogues, and battles in eerie forests and ancient ruins. Inside the first castle, explore half of its available areas to find rewards and continue your journey.

• Engage in Tactical Combat: Fight in turn-based battles where initiative sets the action order. Move across dynamic battlefields, swap weapons, and use abilities or spells to defeat enemies. Roll a 20-sided die with physics-based visuals for attacks, and watch damage dice roll across the screen. Earn experience and loot as you triumph.

• Unravel Early Stories: Discover location-based tales with unique events and mysteries. Make dialogue choices with attribute checks to shape outcomes—negotiate peace or dive into combat. The first castle offers early stories with limited areas to explore and chances to uncover rewards.

As a solo developer working on Duskmarch, I’ve chosen to use AI tools for generating images and localizing stories to help bring this project to life. Here’s why:

Limited Resources: Being a one-person team, I don’t have the budget or time to hire artists or translators for every aspect of the game. AI allows me to create high-quality visuals, like the magical circles and character designs, and localize the game’s story into multiple languages efficiently.
Focus on Gameplay: My primary focus is on crafting a fun and engaging experience with tactical combat, magical effects, and progression systems. Using AI for art and localization frees up time to polish core mechanics, like the damage effects and dice outlines, which are central to the gameplay.
Consistency and Speed: AI helps maintain a consistent art style across the game and demo, which would be challenging to achieve manually as a solo developer. It also speeds up the process, allowing me to iterate quickly and include more content in the demo, such as the magical circles and early story elements.
Accessibility for Players: Localizing the story with AI ensures that players from different regions can enjoy Duskmarch in their native language, even in this demo version. This broadens the audience and makes the game more accessible, which is especially important for a small project like mine.
I want to be transparent: while AI is a powerful tool, I carefully review and refine its output to ensure it aligns with Duskmarch’s vision. This demo showcases the result of that process, and I hope you enjoy the magical world I’m building! Your feedback is invaluable as I continue to improve the game for its full release.
