Game
Dead Drift
3 years ago

Hey, here's a f1rst p0st detailing this idea briefly. As soon as I have a playable version I'll post it here.


This is an idea I can't seem to shake off, so I might as well do it.

At its core, the game is a tower defense game with moving towers. The towers are cars roving around a base. I'm thinking post-apoc like Mad Max or something. Enemies come from all directions and try to get to the base, to damage it. Cars shoot at these enemies to prevent them from doing so and collect their loot, which players use to upgrade the base, improve the cars and purchase new ones.

Here's an extremely high-quality gameplay concept sketch:

I'm expecting to take from 2 to 4 weeks to complete this project, depending on how fast I can go. Art is the main thing slowing me down, as I take a long time to merely get to results I don't completely hate. I also have a few other things on my plate right, so there's that?

Anyway, as soon as I have some progress I'll post it here.

So long, suckers!

HI! I'm getting close to hitting 1000 FOLLOWERS (woohooo!) and I'm thinking about doing some special things to celebrate this:

- A Fireside where we can play a drawing game together!

- A mini-game using the sock puppets!

What do you think of that?
