Extract high quality gems from ore in this turn-based crafting game.
Controls: Works best with mouse and/or keyboard hotkeys, untested with touch controls.
Tips
* Mouse over/long-press each of the section headers to get a description of various mechanics.
* You'll need to upgrade a tool to Tier 2 before you'll have skills that affect *Quality*, and therefore can extract T2+ gems
Links
* HTML5(WebGL): dashingstrike.com/LudumDare/LD58/
* Source Code: Jimbly/LD58-gemwright
Screenshots
*Development Notes*
This game is inspired by the crafting mechanics I vaguely remember from Final Fantasy XIV. After I spent the first 2 or so hours just making a mockup of what a UI might look like in Photoshop, I quickly realized I had overscoped a bit much (as usual!). Luckily most of the art was done at that point, and I focused on coding and iterating all the way until the final couple hours before submission when I, thankfully, had just enough time left to throw in some audio =).
Post-jam bug fixes (as allowed in the rules):
* Fix selling the wrong gem if you have a T1 gem in the first inventory slow, and a higher tier gem elsewhere
* Fix texture error showing up if you craft a gem with quality over 500
Tools Used
* Custom Engine: GLOV.js
* Mtn Dew
* ENDESGA-32 Palette
* Font: HelvetiPixel font by pentacom
* Font: 04b03
* 1BITDRAGON
* Aseprite
Also touchups in:
* Audacity
* Photoshop
