Timebound Battleground

Timebound Battleground

Made for Major Jam 6: Life in July 2023.

In this game you are assisting a Time Wizard who is helping human life survive against a demon army. The Time Wizard needs you to pick the best applications for mercenaries to join the army for a 30 second battle. 

If your army loses, the Time Wizard will rewind time and enable you to hire more soldiers. The wizard can only rewind time 9 times, so you must defeat the demon tower within 10 battles.

Thankfully due to the 1-week dev time on this jam, we were actually on-time, though we did have to cut down a lot of our ideas. Originally we had planned to have the ranged units have actual projectiles, for one, which would have been a little more visually interesting. Mercenary companies were also going to have random special abilities to add variety, which would have been cool to be able to do. We wanted to get more polish/UX in as well, such as an option to reroll your choices, and a countdown on-screen during each battle that would show when your soldiers are going to enter the battlefield.

Overall, we are happy with what we accomplished, even if there is plenty of room for improvement.

Made in Godot 3.5.2
