Pirate Dice

About This Game

Welcome aboard the cursed cabin of the Ghost Ship. You and your crew sit around a candlelit table with bags of gold, leather cups, and a pair of dice. Every round is a ruthless test of nerve, poker-face bluffing, and sheer greed.

Shake your cup, pull it up to secretly peek at your roll, and make your choice. Rolled a 1 or a 2? Fear grips your pirate—take a swig of dark rum for liquid courage to unlock the Brave button, but beware: heavy drinking blurs your vision and causes chaotic camera sway!

Call the table's bluff as a Brave Pirate to claim the entire pot of coins, or back down as a Chicken to save your gold... at the cost of your humanity. Every act of cowardice strikes you with bizarre sea-creature curses—from slithering tentacle arms and bucket helmets to live WebRTC voice-pitch distortions.

Survive 10 escalating rounds to walk away as the legendary Captain, or watch identical high rolls summon the Kraken's black fire to incinerate the pot!

Key features

  • Tactile 3D Peeking: Physically drag your cup with your mouse or finger to secretly reveal your dice under dynamic candlelight.
  • Liquid Courage Mechanic: Chug rum to brave weak rolls—rack up sips for progressive drunkenness, motion blur, and drunken bravado.
  • Hilarious Curse & Mutation System: Cowards get mutated with procedural 3D heads, murky cups, and real-time WebRTC microphone pitch shifters.
  • The Kraken's Tie: When leaders roll identical winning hands, dark abyssal flames rise to devour the gold.
  • Zero-Install WebGL: Instant 2-second lobby joining via a direct link—no downloads, launchers, or friction.
  • Solo & Online Multiplayer: Play against smart AI bots offline or jump into chaotic matches with up to 5 friends.

Roadmap to Steam

What the developer builds next, step by step, on the way from this alpha to the Steam release.

  1. Pirate Dice, step 1: Multiplayer
    ✓ Done

    Step 1 Multiplayer

    Online tables for up to five pirates. Join a room from a link in seconds, bluff your friends over voice chat, and let bots fill the empty seats.

  2. Pirate Dice, step 2: Mutations and drinking
    ✓ Done

    Step 2 Mutations and drinking

    Every act of cowardice grows a new sea-creature curse, and every sip of rum makes you braver but blurs the table. Both systems get more variants and a fair balance.

  3. Pirate Dice, step 3: Content and story campaign
    Planned

    Step 3 Content and story campaign

    A single-player voyage through cursed ports and rival captains, with new tables, characters and house rules that unlock along the way.

  4. Pirate Dice, step 4: Better ship graphics
    Planned

    Step 4 Better ship graphics

    A rebuilt Ghost Ship cabin: new lighting, materials and props, smoother animations, and a steady frame rate on modest hardware.

  5. Pirate Dice, step 5: Steam release
    Planned

    Step 5 Steam release

    The full game packaged for Steam: achievements, friend invites, cloud saves and a desktop build.
