Geometry Wars | Epic Mega Jam 2022 Entry
This is my entry into the epic mega jam this year 2022. The theme was as above so below. I went for a 2 sided turret defense where the slots for turrets are shared between both sides of the board. You must chose which side gets what turrets. You then battle vs shapes where each same shape tower does x2 damage.
I decided to go as simple as possible so I could apply to the sub categories of "Tiny but Mighty" (built game under 150 MB) and "Use it or Lose it" (Use only 1 4 channel texture in the entire project.
These limitations made it quite interesting for me, and of course I work alone so I am in the "One Man Army" category. Trying to use 1 texture for every particle and surface was tricky, I ended up with a very psychedelic vibe in the end.
Since I made everything in engine, as well as made every sound with my mouth in audacity during the jam, I decided to make the Uproject files available to any dev who wants them for any use. The project is 100% blueprint driven made in unreal 4.27.2 and you can find the files on my google drive here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/12PHbCFOTx... All blueprints are commented, but I have included a design_doc.txt file in the root directory to give some logic flow information for any newer dev that might need the reference. If you need any help hit me up on my discord.
If you enjoy what I did here in 5 short days, please consider checking out what I can do with 2 years of work by checking out my most recent release on steam "Game Dev Masters", a modern competitive take on the tycoon genre.
