Hi!
This is the first time I'm participating in LD. I really would have loved to submit my entry to the competition but since I didn't have time to work on sunday I have to upload it to the jam.
I've written all the code within 2 days with the following tools:
Language: C++
Editor: gVim
Compilation: MinGW
Graphics: Gimp
Libraries: SDL2 (to get a window, OpenGL context and input events)
Since I didn't have the time to polish the game and to give explanations, I have to write a short introduction in the notes.
__Theme__:
The evil has build a connection between worlds to intrude our land and destroy the main castle. Stop them!
__Interface__:
On the right side of the screen there is the control panel. At the top you can see your money as a yellow number. At the bottom there is your score in red. Currently you can build 3 types of units by first clicking at the icon in the control panel and then placing them on the map.
__Controls__:
You can use WASD to move the camera around the map and Q to close the game at any time. The game is played mainly with the mouse since the main goal is to protect your castle by placing the following defensive units:
The thrower:
The thrower can throw all types of things at the enemies to deal damage.
The gatherer:
The gatherer automatically gathers ressources when placed next to them. Currently there are three different types of ressources: Rock, lumber, and tar.
If you click on a gatherer he gets selected and you can then select the thrower or spear-manufacturer by simply clicking them. He then forwards the stuff he collects to one of the selected units.
The spear-manufacturer:
The spear-manufacturer needs one wood and one stone to produce one spear. Like the gatherer it can then forward the spear to selected units.
__Goal__:
Your goal is to build up a ressource pipeline so that there are many things hitting the intruding monsters.
Hints:
- you can click the portal to speed up spawning
- different materials have different strength: Log < Boulder < Spear
- tar can slow down enemies
- enemies use the shortest path and placing units blocks their way
I am really thinking of putting more features into the game and doing a post-LD update.
I hope you all enjoy the game!
