Small team jam entry - beat'em up cross farming simulator with isometric RTS elements.
The game is currently hosted here: http://www.delta-edge.com/Ventureville
*note - some cartoon violence/blood
Post Jam (version 2.0) is also now up: http://www.delta-edge.com/Ventureville_v2/
Changelog is in this post: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/ventureville/ventureville-post-jam-edition
Ventureville puts you in charge of a small farm, surrounded by wilderness and bandit villages that are different every time you play. The bandits will randomly attack (listen for the music cue) and its up to you to save your animals and crops.
We ended up treating the whole thing like a compo in a few ways which I always find is the better way to go about a LD! That is, we made everything you see in the game over the 72 hours - no foundation code or previously designed assets at all - even all of the music was made over the weekend!
Unfortunately didnt get building mechanics done, or the resource mechanics that would have allowed for materials for building. Only 1 wave of bandits will spawn currently (altho they will attack multiple times until you kill them all!). And overall it needs better AI and balancing, sometimes youll get completely swarmed by bandits, other times its pretty easy.
Very much a prototype of a bigger game that our team of 3(ish) wasnt able to realise during the Jam. But we gave it a good shot!

And Ryan Darkstar did some writing for us!
