Synopsis: Welcome to the Skyes! A vast world full of floating islands, exciting adventures and wild monsters! You are on a quest to save your magical friend Balthasar, a being from the Spirit Realm. Together you travel on your flying castle to find the passageway to the Spirit Realm where you can get the cure for Balthasar's sickness that prevents him from regenerating his magic naturally. Explore the floating islands and find clues to the location of the the passageway. But beware, wild monsters roam the Skyes and will attack if you draw too much attention to yourself. Build flying towers to defend yourself and find the passageway before Balthasar runs out of magic or you'll lose your friend forever!
With only a total of 24 hours to spare working on this project we knew from the start we wouldn't be able to finish it, but we had a lot of fun thinking up the genre mix we wanted to use and breaking both genres down to their essence. Sadly we were unable to add most of the "exploration part", but still, we're a little proud how much we accomplished within this time and would like to continue working on this project without any time constraints the next couple of weeks.
Features to be added:
Game over condition
Resource Functionality
Tower Placement on floating islands
Fog of War
Island Events
Win Condition
So far you can only fly around, build towers on your island and wait for enemy waves to spawn. Your towers will shoot at the enemies with different speed/damage values. When enemies hit your island you'll take damage but you can't lose yet. We've got a few more things as good as finished that just need to be implemented and we'll update this page as we continue working on it, so feel free to check back here if you like what we've done so far! Thanks for looking at our project!:)
