A very basic game loop is done.
Combat occurs automatically and then the blocks are used to collect items which buff the next round of combat. The blocks will be random and based on their shape, the player can decide which upgrades on the grid to choose.
If the player has a lot of enemies, maybe they’ll want a bomb (aoe). If they player is low on health, perhaps they’ll grab armor or health. They can also grab silver to buy buffs between waves and gold to permanently upgrade their hero.
I’m a little concerned about two things:
- I’m making the game too complex
- The game will be boring
I’m going to continue working on the game loop to alleviate these concerns.
I also plan to push my updates here on the forum to weekly.
