Arcane Dice Wars
Gacha Date! Progress Halfway There
Hello Internet Void,
I've been updating weekly progress on twitter and youtube, but I thought I'd go ahead and share some of my progress and thoughts here as well! So far https://ekkoberry.itch.io/ and I have most of the game functions and major assets all set up. We've teamed with https://star-sundae.itch.io/ who is generously making some music for us. We've been moving along quickly with working as a team so going into the second half of the gamejam, we'll be working on the GUI, CGs and writing story. We hope to deliver the game in its entirety.
This game is a bit of a parody but it also does fit in with the ADW stories canonically as one possible branching of some ADW endings. You can think of it as a light-hearted optional sequel. Playing the previous two games is not necessary, but there may be some references/conversations that will be confusing to the player if they are unfamiliar with the previous games. There maybe some broad references to events that have not happened yet in the main game, (as the story is complete in my brain), but I don't think there's anything specific enough to be a true spoiler, also given that events may not play out the same for the player in the main game depending on their choices.
Game will take place with the assumption that the Transient One completed the task of the gods and returned home without any final romance ending with any of the LIs. This is based on ADW for Lor, Ashur, Katnir and Ruwin. Jeth is coming from his own timeline in ADWVH. There is more of a singular Dating simulator emphasis than the other two games, as there is no RPG/battling element.
It's been a ton of fun to work on so far so I'm really looking forward to sharing it with you all at the end of June. Thanks again for following these characters and story world. <3<3<3<3<3 Jen
Ps. After an entire 4 weeks of spelling 'gacha', 'gatcha' I realized I was spelling it wrong when Ekkoberry randomly forgot to put the 't' in the imagebutton. LOL!! Also why maid outfits you may ask? The devs have done their research as to popular gacha banners is why!

hello! sorry to bother you, but I have been trying to download the game for days now and I keep getting denied </3 I already tried disabling my anti-virus and deleting my cache, but I just can't manage to download the game :c it says it's prohibited for some reason... I was wondering if there was anywhere else other than itch where I could download the game? I really want to play it :(
Ooh I'm sorry to hear it's not working. Not sure what could be the cause. Please email me which game you are wanting to download (arcane dice wars or gacha date) and if you are using MacOS or PC to wulfmune@gmail.com and I'll try sending it to you.
Thank you so much for replying! It's really strange, this has never happened to me before so I'm kind of at a loss for what to do ;;;; but thank you so much for your kind disposition! I already sent the email, once again thank you and sorry for the trouble ;;;;
Edit: I forgot to add some info in the first one so I sent another, sorry for the trouble ;;
hello!!!
I actually follow the account from twitter so ı kinda saw few videos buuut ı didnt realized youtube ones aaa!! ı will go check them immediately x3
hmm well so this is like a alternative ending but ım also confused by something... game is based on ''dating'' but ıf the ending is like normal route with no romance then how we will date them 0-0 well maybe ıt would be confusing for both side since one side is literally in ''dream'' while other side is a uh someone who literally didnt date anyone? ıdkk but ım fine either way ı saw gift option and the all the things ı can give so date or not ı will use my time to get everybody's preferences :DD (especially Lor haha ım not sure how long ıt will take my courage to finally dress him in a maid outfit or cat ears tho... ı hope he wont get mad at me x-x)
and! thank you for all these amazing work! as ı said ı didnt started watching videos but ı actually clicked one of them while writing this and saw few comments about and ı saw a comment about ''needing to take a break'' ... unfortunately ı can understand these words so well with my endless university works ;-; ı have no idea how they keep getting more and more while Im working on them with all sleeping at ''2 or 3 am'' nights so ıf ıts tiring for you ı hope you will find time to take a rest! your health is lots more important things afterall!! ı am really glad that you are enjoying this amazing game's work ı am also having lots of fun looking at new updates! x3
and... MAİD OUTFİTSS!!!!
when ı frst saw this update on twitter ı kinda let out small scream and my friend tried to look what ı was looking at ( well in fear ı managed to hid it but ıt was a close call ;w;)
omgg all those expressions and variety of maid outfits! a perfect waifu(?) section is here!
actually the first thing ı noticed in this art was... characters' expressions... well jeth looked like he didnt even care for that dress and more was into... whatever he is loking at while holding his axe... katnir looks like he is literally questioning everything while trying to look normal, Lor is the one who is most embarrassed looking one with either averting his eye or looking at us (ı cant clearly tell ıf he is either looking at viewer's direction or averting his eyes tbh) and blushing... even tho he looks like he is still ready to do whatever needed ;w; ıdk ıf ım reading too much into it but ıdkk he gives me that gives and its cute..... and Ruwin... he looks.... his eyes omg ;w; he just looks like he accepted his fate ıdkk ı cant read much from his face it just feels blank ;w;.
overall, a perfect advertisement for amazing date candidates!
thank you for your all-hard work!
well, ı also want to thank Ekkoberry for working hard on this game too ı guess the drawings of the game is closer to Ekkoberry's drawing style? either way both parties are doing amazing job! ı hope this game will successfully finishes!
Hi justaonegirl, im glad you are looking forward to this game and we are very excited to share it with you! Yes , ekkoberry did the sketches and I did inking so we blend our styles a little. It's been very smooth process actually!
To clear up confusion about the timeline, the TO in this game didn't "finalize" any romance so it's possible they were starting a romance but didn't confirm it with the eternal pendant. It's purposely vague. The LIs at the start are obviously fond of the TO but react differently to meeting them again after saying goodbye (what they thought was forever bye) so it's a bit like meeting again at reunion and thinking maybe we can see where things go type friendly romance. it's more light hearted than ADW so it's more meant to be a fun dating game than a serious sequel. I hope that clears up your question ^_^ but I'm happy to o clarify more. I hope work gets less stressful for you and you can rest. Best wishes, and thanks again for sharing your thoughts Jen
Thank you for the answerss !! :3 Ah ım really fine with that kind of romance... ı usually play that type of romance anyway so ıts actually in my interest zone very well ^^;
thanksfully this is my final exam week so ı have to push myself at least for this week and ı will be free after that ^^ ! which means ı will start to fully wait for the game -w- ı hope things will be keep going smooth for ekkoberry and you ^^
The game looks really fun, I'll definitely play it once it's out! You're all doing a very great job :D the art also looks amazing xD I hope you're doing fine and I'm sending over some positivity as always (◍•ᴗ•◍)✧*。
Thank you so much SoluneMoon! I always appreciate the positivity energy! We are in good shape so I'm really hoping to deliver a complete package by the end of the jam this time! We would love to share with you and get your thoughts. Best wishes! Jen
