About the project
This was our first school project, too create a digital game. The project was an introduction to teamwork as well with all the related challenges. We applied a straightforward and simple concept and as a result we have managed to deliver a game with all mechanics and elements.
About Steamrun
It is a fairly simple highscore game using cards as main tools. Endless challenge awaits the player whose goal is to survive the onslaught of the hostile machines as long as they can, by sending their own troops against them. The player has a hand of cards from which they can target enemy cards displayed on the enemy field. The card deals damage to them, and if their power is reduced to 0 or below, they are removed from the field. If the player fails to remove enough and there is 7 or more of them, the game ends.
My role
Although the steampunk style is quite unique for me, this game is not primarily interesting because of the design, but because of its development. In this project I was responsible for both design and development of the game. This provided an extra challenge, as it was my first computer programming work ever. I did all the coding work on my own, using HAXE (a less well-known coding language) to create the game.
