Kicking Off with Unity: Amphora Games Begins Development of Their First Videogame

Following the exciting announcement of their transition into the video game world, Amphora Games has officially begun development on their first digital title — a 3D zombie-themed game that captures the spirit of a board game, now brought to life on screen.

The development team is diving into the project with passion and energy, leveraging Unity 3D as their engine of choice. Known for its versatility and power, Unity is helping Amphora bring their vision to life with rich visuals, smooth interactions, and cross-platform potential.

“We’re not just making a game — we’re building a hybrid experience,” says the team. “We’re exploring cutting-edge tools in design, animation, and gameplay logic to make something truly unique.”

From advanced lighting and physics to modular design systems and intuitive UI/UX, the project is being developed using the latest technologies and best practices in game development. The team is also focusing on scalability and performance optimization, ensuring a polished experience from early builds to final release.

With their foundation in tabletop design and a fresh commitment to interactive digital media, Amphora Games is crafting something new — a fusion of tradition and innovation, cardboard and code.

Stay tuned for more development updates in the coming weeks!

Amphora Games takes the leap into the world of video games

After years of delighting tabletop enthusiasts with creative and immersive board games, Amphora Games is entering a bold new chapter. The studio, known for its craftsmanship in analog gaming experiences, has officially announced its first video game project — and it’s something that blends the best of both worlds.

Currently in development, Amphora’s debut video game is a 3D digital adaptation that simulates a board game experience, set in a thrilling zombie-themed universe. By leveraging their deep knowledge of tabletop mechanics and merging it with modern interactive design, Amphora is building a unique crossover between traditional board games and digital gameplay.

“This project is a natural evolution for us,” says the development team (Carlos and Javier). “We’ve always been passionate about board games, and we’re equally excited by the creative potential of video games. This is our way of bringing both passions together.”

The game aims to capture the tactile strategy of a physical board game while adding the dynamism and atmosphere only a video game can provide — 3D visuals, AI opponents, immersive sound, and more.

For developers and game designers, this move marks an exciting intersection of disciplines. Amphora’s approach opens up new opportunities for exploring how game logic, player interaction, and world-building can translate between analog and digital formats.

“We’re incredibly excited to take this step. It’s a dream come true to blend our love for board games with the creative power of video games. The community’s support means everything to us!” — Rafa, Community Manager at Amphora Games

Stay tuned — we’ll be watching closely as Amphora Games bridges the gap between cardboard and code.

Welcome to the world of Dice and Decay

Hello, fellow gamers and board game enthusiasts! Welcome to the very first entry of our devlog for Dice and Decay. We’re thrilled to have you join us on this wild journey as we build a game that blends the nostalgia of classic board gaming with the edge-of-your-seat excitement of zombie survival.

The spark behind the game

The idea for Dice and Decay was born from our love for strategic board games like Hero Quest, mixed with a burning desire to push the boundaries of traditional gameplay by infusing it with modern technology. We envisioned a game where every move is crucial, decisions are loaded with tension, and the fight for survival is as much about planning as it is about reacting. Whether you’re a seasoned strategist or a newcomer looking for a fresh challenge, this game aims to capture your imagination.

A blend of classic and modern

We want to take the familiar feel of moving pieces across a board and infuse it with the immersive qualities of virtual reality. Imagine the thrill of a traditional board game, amplified by the realistic immersion of VR—every dice roll, every tactical decision brings you closer to outsmarting the relentless undead. It’s the perfect fusion of the old and the new, crafted for both PC and VR players.

Behind the scenes: Our development journey

We’re currently in the exciting phase of prototyping, where ideas are turning into tangible mechanics and gameplay is undergoing constant refinement. Each day brings new challenges and lessons:

• Iterative design: We’re testing and improving every aspect of the game to ensure the perfect balance between strategy and survival.
• Community input: Your feedback is invaluable. We’re eager to hear your thoughts and insights to help shape Dice and Decay into an experience that resonates with you.
• Creative problem-solving: Every development hurdle is an opportunity to learn, grow, and innovate. Expect surprises and improvements as we navigate the complexities of game design.

What’s next?

As we continue our journey, here’s what you can look forward to:

• Deeper strategic layers and refined turn-based gameplay.
• Rich, atmospheric visuals that bring the post-apocalyptic setting to life.
• More character, weapon, and environment options to enhance your tactical play.
