Hello everybody, welcome to the making of Liar's Map!
My submission to the 2019 Community Game Jam - with the theme: The Game is a Liar.

Making a game in 7 days is a great way to live through all the major points in the process of game development: all the ups and downs, all the happiness and sadness, all the confidence and all the doubts. It's a real test of determination to achieve a big goal and, hopefully, succeeding in the end. Going through all those different intense experiences is why I love making games, so I thought that today I would share with you the process of creating this game, because it so nicely encapsulates the whole ride, even if just for seven days.


The game I created is called Liar's Map

Liar's Map is an RTS game where you are a medieval lord and your soldiers are lost in a randomly generated meadow.
You must must help them get to the nearest castle while avoiding monsters, magic and worse.
All you have at your disposal are maps left by other travelers.
However each map has one true information and two lies.
Will you be able to traverse this dangerous world and get your troops to safety?
