Melvind

TRY THE GAME -> http://www.doodlemeat.se/ggj13/

Myself (Programming, Gamedesign), Anthon Fredriksson (Programming), Nils Wennergren (Art) and Camilla Jacobsen (Graphics) made a game called Melvind during the Gotland Game Jam 2013.

It’s centered around a Dwarf called “Melvind”, who has to defend his keg of beer(or ale) at all costs. Gather resources to build Towers to help you in the defense of the keg. It’s a blend of Tower Defense and resource management top-down RPG.

Getting our heads around path-finding (Called A-star (link:http://www.policyalmanac.org/games/aStarTutorial.htm) was brutal. Finally, Anthon was able to implement it, to great success, although there’s still buggs lurking around due to the path-finding.
