How Thunderful Games rolled a AAA hit with “dice opera” fantasy Lost in Random

July 26, 2022

After launching a series of successful games, Lost in Random is Thunderful Games’s most sophisticated project to date. Though a small studio, Thunderful Games resolved to release a AAA-level hit with support from EA Originals. The studio had a long history of success with Unity and fully understood its capabilities, so they set out to realize an ambitious artistic vision and created what Kotaku called “the most innovative game of 2021.” With Lost in Random, Thunderful Games was able to:

Deploy in-house to five platforms, including PlayStation, PC, and Xbox simultaneously
Create AAA-quality visuals across all platforms using the Universal Render Pipeline (URP) and Unity lighting tools
Customize URP’s default Lit shader and build new shaders from scratch
Leverage Unity Asset Store packages as part of a modular approach with a lean team
Earn Best Indie Award at Gamescom and an Official Selection at the 2021 Tribeca Festival
