I dont know how but i made it
The title says it all, looking back 5 hourse i cant believe that i somehow managed to make the "game" playable. Once again i overdid it with the things i wanted to do and everything became way more complex than one man could possibly make in 3 (originally 2) Days.
I am espacially happy about the idea i came up with. You are an evil overlord during the time of an economic crisis. Sadly taking over the world does not wait until better times and your soilders wont work for you if you dont pay them, so you have to win battles with as few survivers as possible in order to have to pay only a short amount of gold to your surviving troops.(At least this is the story in my head ^^)
When the theme was anounced i was actually sad, because it was the one theme i did not want to see. I had a few ideas for the theme but nothing good. At first i thought about doing something like the more speed the worse or the more power the worse but nothing good really came to mind. Than i had the idea about the more health the worse. The idea was that you are a zombie and you try to die more than you zombie friends. The only problem with that was that i didnt realy had an idea how the gameplay of the game should look like( At least i couldnt come up with something that sounded like fun). In the end i took the idea and looked at it from another perspective. And so this game was made.
I wont even start about the things that did not make it in the game but where planed and which are at least to some part coded but not active because i did not have the time and i fell ill for half of the game jam, which also took some of the time,....., since this would take a lot of space ^^
Would i say i had fun? Of course. Does the game have bugs? Probably(A lot). Would i say that i sleeped way less than a human beeing should ? Definitely. Most importantly, did i learn something ? Absolutely.

One thing before you try it, i said that it is playable but that doesent mean that it is pollished. You can definitely see that i run out of time and there are a few thing that are there but dont serve any purpose. So dont be surprised if you find something in the game that does not seem to work, because probably it was cut because of time reasons.
