Dicey Dungeons script / 2019 and 2022
Dicey Dungeons is a videogame by Terry Cavanagh, Chipzel (music), Marlowe Dobbe (art), Justo Delgado (programming) and me. The game follows six human contestants who have chosen to take part in Lady Luck’s game show, each trying to win their heart’s desire: one wants to become the strongest man in the world, one wants to eliminate the need to sleep, another wants wealth, another fame.
It’s a fast-moving, cheerful, heavily replayable game. I wrote the script for the original game (2019) and for the DLC (2022). The whole narrative and world needed to fit into spare corners and moments: short cut scenes, single lines from the creatures who live in the dungeon, slowly changing contestant profiles, sneaky jokes. It was a lot of fun to work on!
