  • Good submission! Maybe you can make a tutorial that shows more since you have a lot happening on the overlay. It's difficult to get behind what's actually happening but that's a solid base! Well done and keep making games!

Did you include your Game Design Document in your downloadable files?
No

Tell us about your game!
TD that relies on Stronghold-like mechanics for resource collection, the income is entirely untied from enemies.
The other mechanic, the so called "corruption" or "enemy territory" seems simple at first, but giving the enemies a bit too much territory can lead to catastrophic results.
The entire game is, in the end, about territory control, and on later stages you also have resource deprivation, as more and more unique resources (well, two at most) are found deep into enemy territory.
The enemy also gets more focused on killing you and less on expanding the further the game goes.

It is currently lacking anything beside the introduction, which is so short because I was planning to VA it, turns out I can't do a narrator... go figure...

Did you remember to include your Game Design Document?
Yes

Is your game set to Public so we can see it?
Yes

Extra Notes

Should be public
It's a mix of an RTS and a TD game, reminds me a bit of Dungeon Keeper in a way...
man I wrote so much and then refreshed the page.

That said, was a great experience, can't wait to work on a new project and put to work all the things I learned, so I guess I only have you all to thank.
Thanks!

If anybody asks, the team-name is "Trading Jacks".
Dunno where to put it, really.

ESL, I can proofread all I want, but there are bound to be mistakes all over.
