Not So Different

Not So Different (working title) 

submission for the PIGSquad Summer Slow Jam

June 2020 - Turn-based Games - "Alternate Timeline"

Code and Gameplay: Tim Volpe (LZorro)

Art and Story: nstasio

Controls

Overworld: use Arrow keys to move, press X when adjacent to an island to start combat

Combat: 

You (the blue player) start your turn by rolling 3 6-sided dice.

Click each dice to spend it for an action: 

• Move - you will move in the selected direction the die's number of spaces
• Attack - you will attack an adjacent enemy for the die's number in damage
• Defend - The next attack to hit you will be reduced by this die's number
  • You can only spend 1 die for Defend per turn

The enemy then takes their turn in a similar fashion

This is a prototype to show off the turn-based combat.  Still some bugs to work out!

Future items to add:

• Goons - smaller enemies that appear in combat to provide greater challenge
• Better art and animations - there's meant to be some!
• Story - This game was conceived to present a story between battles
