Devlog #1

Hello there! We are Porton Media Entertainment, a small group of three people working on a new game called Liari. The idea for Liari came from the classic "board game" Cacho. We play it a lot, so we wanted to take its core elements and turn it into a video game. We also drew inspiration from Balatro, a rogue-like game where the goal is to reach a high score using poker cards and unique abilities.

With these two ideas, we're aiming to create something fresh, something you’ve never seen before. That's how we came up with Liari. In Liari, you play the traditional Cacho game, but every hand you get nets you points. The points will depend on which hand you have (we’re still working out the point system, but we are working on it!). Similar to Balatro, players will have special cards and we are adding, special dice, and dice cups. These items will allow you to score more points, gain crazy abilities, and other things we have planned along the way.

Rough sketch of our idea based on Balatro's UI.

Finally, all of the dice we have doing the rolling at the same time!
