The Game

Ludo 3D Plus is a 3D video board game following the basic rules of ludo which consists of making the 4 tokens of the same colour to leave their base and reach home. But now this time, we have added new rules and you have the possibility to define your rules which can make the game simple or difficult, long or short, strategic and more fun.

You can personalize your ludo board elements like the board design, border, base design (where the token stays at the base during the start of the game), the dice and the container.

And you can also play where you want with 4 available location in the main house either during the day or night, alone against AI or with your friends and family making it more fun.

Very soon we will come to the main feature of the game which is the rules so please stay with us.

How To Play

If you have already play Ludo before nothing important changes. However, the way to play still depends on you. The goal of the game is to make your 4 tokens leave the base (start point of each token) and reach home (the square at the center having 4 triangular colours). 

Let see how to play!

Position your container, shake it and roll

We have added containers which will be use to roll the dice. It is far more better than hands. You can try it in real life.

Move a token

Select the available token which can move based on the dice outcome and certain conditions. Additionally, if you play a 6, you wil roll again the dice till you play less than 6.

Reach your home and smile

Each time a token reaches home you must smile because reaching here is not easy.

Take a look at the game, the video below shows how I like to play ludo and I like it when it is strategic. The rules I've enabled are prison, barrier, save till 6, double play at start, obligatory food, play on token out and eat and play.

The video below show how people are currently playing ludo. You will see that there is a difference with the previous or the above video.

Time to get to the interesting part.

Rules

Sorry for keeping you waiting, we have finally arrive the most important feature of the game which is the rules. The rules controls the game making it to be strategic, last longer or difficult. Define the rules as you wish from the available rules, its your game.

Let's get started !

Prison

With this rule, when you capture or eat a token, instead of this token to go back to his base, he will instead go to your base where he wiIl be retain as a prisonner. Your opponent need to play a 6 inorder for the captured token to go back to his base. If you want the game to last long and be difficult, use this rule.

Barrier

With this rule, when 2 or more tokens are on the same zone they form a barrier and this barrier will prevent any token to pass through them in other word it blocks passage for other tokens and they will wait till you remove the barrier.

Safe zone

These stars on the ludo board are called safe zone and when a token is on this zone, it is invulnerable and all opposite token can stay on this zone. There are 2 and we named them safe zone base (stars at the start or door of each base) and safe zone out (the other stars). You can enable or remove (making no place to rest for tokens) these two safe zone type each.

Double Play At Start

In real life, playing a 6 is very uncertain and it's also the same thing as in this game because the dice is control by physics making the dice outcome 100% random unless you have the technique. With this rule, you will roll the dice 2 times at the beginning till you finally play a 6. This rule give you changes to play a 6 at the beginning making you to double your chances to move a token out of the base.

Eating is Obligatory

With this rule, when a token can eat(capture) another token, you will be force to eat that token meaning the only token that you can select is the token that can capture or eat it's opponent. This rule helps avoid discrimination.

Loss

If you roll the dice and it ends up out of the ludo board, the result or outcome is considered as 0. This is what we call loss. This rule can be strategic in some situations. You can disable it so that when the dice is still out of the ludo board, it will still count.

Save Till 6

This rule is a game changer. With this rule, ludo becomes strategic, fast, playing 6 is be very easy and be sure that having a bigger dice outcome will not always make you to have advantage. I will explain it in steps

• When all of your tokens are in prison or at home and if you roll a number less than 6. The outcome will be saved and accumulate.
• After you roll the dice, you can decide to play your outcome or save and cumulate it
• If the amount saved is greater than or equal to 6, you will be forced to play.

With this rule, every number you play won't be wasted and it can be use later.

Eat and Roll

When you eat or capture a token, you will roll again the dice if necessary. This is a standard ludo rule but you can disable it.

Roll on token out

When one of your token reaches home, you will roll again the dice. This is also a standard ludo rule and you are free to disable it.

Movement Type

In this game, there are two ways to play after rolling a 6.

• Move on 6: Each time you roll a 6, you move first any available token before rolling again the dice and you will do it until you roll a number less than 6. Enable this rule if you want your ludo to be more based on luck.

• Roll on 6: Each time you roll a 6, you will roll again the dice till you roll a number less than 6. And after that you will move any available token based on all the outcome to play each time. For example let say you roll a 6,6 and 4. The first token will move 6 steps, the second will move 6 steps and the third will move 4 steps. Enable this rule if you want to take better decisions or have more control on your decisions.

These are all the rules for now, this will make the game to be very interesting and remember Your Ludo Your Rules

In case you did not understand everything well, we made a video (which is below) to well expalin what you read above. 

You can play ludo alone against AI but truely speaking I like to play it with friends and family using the same computer or same mobile phone. So for a better enjoyment play it with someone.

If you are used to play any 2D ludo game with other people using the same phone, we will show you how to configure the game for it to have a 2D look or angle or perspective. Let see how to do it.

In the main menu or pause menu go to settings

In the settings menu, press Gameplay and change Camera Angle from Dynamic to On Ludo. This will make the camera to position above the ludo board and look towards it.

This step is optional. Still on the settings menu, press Mobile Control and change Control type from Classic to Simplified. Classic control show buttons on the screen while Simplified control hide buttons on the screen .There are still interactable but the layout and position has changed.

On the section Token In Game, check the number of tokens to be present during the game. On the AI section, uncheck the colours you want humans to control and check the colour you want the AI to control.

And that is it. No buttons to disturb and you can your ludo as you are used to play on your phone. If you have other camera angle suggestions feel to dm me.

Stretch Goals

The more the number of backers the more contents (ludo board, board design, dice, tokens, containers etc) will be added.

Timeline

The timeline shows on which time month we are going to fullfill our promise and the progress of the game development.

If there are any changes, we will tell you through Kickstater by making a post.

New on kickstarter ?

Why kickstarter?

Making this game alone is really difficult especially if the only thing you can do is to draw assets and code the game.

Music, sound effect and other stuff I don't know how to do it and I have no friends who can help me to do it and I have no budget. Backing my project will significantly help me and i will be able to take the game to the next level, to the image I want and include again other cool stuff to make this game great and innovative.

What Backers Will Bring

• Many design for ludo, borders, dice, container, building and environment.
• Making the environment and building have an effect on your ludo experience. By designing your house, you can tell us which effect your house or environment will have.
• New rule for us to discover other ways to play ludo.

I want to create a community

• A role in discord where your opinion matters
• Communicate with us directly
• Add your own ideas

Story

Let me tell you how I came up with this idea.

I was thinking which game to make for a short period of time which is less than a year and my brother purpose that I should do a ludo game. He wanted it 2D but I decided to do it 3D because they are many 2D ludo game and we must made something different in other to make our game get recongnized. While progressing in the development of the game, I made an Announcement Trailer. You can see it below.

When I was developing the game, I was doing it following the basic rules of ludo. And when I finish it, the worst part was remaining which is marketing and I didn't have any budget to market the game. So I started searching on the web how I can get funding and I discover Kickstarter.

When exploring projects on Kickstarter and reading other articles, I discover that geting a project to be funded is difficult especially when you are new on the platform and many projects are creative. So I ask myself how can I make my game creating or how can I innovate it. I started searching on the web what people don't like about ludo and I saw that most people don't like it because the game is not strategic enough, it is difficult to roll a 6 and it is more based on luck. This is what gave me the idea to add rules to make the game startegic and also to make players choose the rules they want.

Then now, I continue developing the game and I added few rules including the strategic rule Save Till 6.And the development doesn't end here, I would like to know more ways people play ludo and introduced it in the game. Again, I also plan to add some effect like for example some environment will have some effect on the ludo experience like maybe token become frozen, your turn skip and so on.

This is the end of the story.
