Project Statement

A game in which you use different weapons with different abilities, where you get upgrades to your weapons until you lose, at which point you go back to the beginning. The player has little control over the battle itself, instead influencing the battles by choosing good combinations of upgrades from those offered.

Why

We wanted to learn how to bring a game project from conceptualization all the way to a polished game. It's easy to make an unfinished proof-of-concept with a strong core idea, but it's a lot harder to make a fully playable game within the strengths of the NuVu studio system. A secondary goal for this project was to become more familiar with Godot, a fully free and open source game engine.
