Path of DinoGoblin
About
This is my incomplete submission for the February 2023 Action Button Goblin Game Jam (theme: there and back again).
The idea of the game is:
You are a little dino guy who wants to grab treasure and return home. You traverse to the treasure along a single line of tiles. You pick which tiles are next (perhaps 3 at a time or something like that) in order to manage risk to health/gold and possible rewards. Tiles can have special events, such as bandits attacking you on the open road, or monsters attacking you on a grassy path, or finding extra treasure/gear in the hostile mountains!
Once you reach the treasure, you must make it home with the treasure through the same tiles you set up previously. I would like the tiles to behave slightly differently and to have slightly different incentives for the journey home, perhaps related to protecting your treasure.
I intend to continue working on this after the jam to flesh out all of the core ideas :)
