ROGUELIKE TD (WORKING TITLE)

- Roguelike Tower Defense
- Unreal Engine, Nuclino, GitHub, Blender, Photoshop
My Role:
Game Design, 3D Art, Programming, Sound
In the first two month, Devin and i worked simultaniously on the game. Since month 3 he got a job and iám more or less a solo developer now with him supporting whenever he can.
The game is a mixture of tower defense and dungeon crawler with roguelike elements. The player places glasses as tower into which he can fill drinks. Every glass itself has a unique shooting pattern and stats. Ever drink gives a differtent stat boost to the glass and every combination of 2 drinks gives an unique ability on top. If you defeat 3 waves of enemies in a room you get a key to unlock the next room with different enemies or the boss.
State: ongoing
There are still a few things to do for the early access status. The game itself is fun but lacks a hook and replay reason for now.

My Role:
Project Lead, Game Design, 3D Art and Anim, Vfx, Few parts of programming, Sound
As the project started i was mainly the game designer and 3D Artist, which included modeling, rigging and animation and vfx. As the project continued i got more and more into every part of and mainly programming due to the lack of motivation of most team members.
Game Description
Fars is an Arena Wave Shooter in which the player defeat waves of enemies. After every wave, the player can choose between 3 upgrade stones which he can inherit in his weapon (like materia in ffVII). Two of these stones can also be combined to obtain a unique ability.
Additional info and state.
Their is a phase after graduation where most people are highly motivated to make their own game. Unfortunately, this motivation does not last long and so this progress was way to slow and we were not be able to finish a prototype in 5 month. I prefered to cut the line instead of riding a dead horse.
The reason why the most people lost motivation is due to getting a job or tend to other things like master degree. Its only natural that what happened, happened. No hard feelings about it, just wanted to clarify that. We still friends : ).
