Hello world

Im proud to present to you my LD#38 game. This is a tower defence / deck builder/ strategy city builder. I think over all it was too Ambitious unfortunately. The basic game is done, as well as most of the art, I think UI needs a bit of work to fully explain whats going on. The art could be better too but Im not much of an artist. If you have suggestion on how to improve something I would love to hear it.

Looking forward to Hearing from the LD community (V) (,;;,) (V)

Before Ludum I set out some personal goals, things that I wanted to work on. Things that I usually don't get the chance to experiment with and learn from. This year I wanted to focus on music and sound effects..... Welp that didn't happen... To be honest the opposite Happen... I don't have music or any sound effect at all. I simply Didn’t have the time.

I am just not use to working in such tight deadlines. I didn't manage my time well enough… Im sure if I had executed everything perfectly I would have had plenty of time. But those failed hours looking at code fixing bugs for a system that I eventually scraped for a better more efficient design. Still Haunts me. I am determined to improve and as I do more of these challenges I will be able to complete a full game with music and all in 48h.

So far I very happy with the end result despite the obvious flaws. In my eyes I am capable of appreciating the finish product but something inside me tell me that there is still a lot to learn and to improve on. Im sure with enough time I will look at this and come realize how much further Ive developed and it will be a testimony of self improvement. But for today I am content enough to share this with you.

If you get the change to finish the game Let me know what your High Score was! My High Score was 8610

I hope you enjoy the game ALL FEEDBACK is WELCOME :)
