Grid Based Survival Game

Dev Thoughts

Really enjoyed Ludum Dare 50, got the theme I wanted but and was aiming for the compo submission, unfortunately ran out of time so this will be in the jam. Learned how to make a turn based system, a grid system and a card and deck style system. Also enjoyed designing in isometric pixel art. Even after everything there was quite a few features I wasn't able to make and a few cards/abilities I wasn't able to finish, but I like this game so I might expand after the jam. Open to any and all suggestions, I will make a wishlist.

Special thanks to my boy Davy for the voice lines.
