Hexagon Tactics: The Expanding Arena

WE HAVE TURNED OFF THE SERVERS, THERE ARE NO REAL TIME GENERATIONS.  The game still has a set of pre-generated assets that used the same pipeline.


You are dropped into an arena battle.  Defeat your opponents, then upgrade your deck and the arena EXPANDS.  

You will be put up against more and harder enemies as the arena EXPANDS.

Build the best deck and use it to defeat your enemies.

The AI can take a while to catch up with the generation, if you get cards for a fire witch, they are still being updated.

Controls:

• WASD - moves camera
• Zoom camera with mouse scroll
• Click on cards to select, click a hex to play the card

AI used in this project

In the web playable version the generation is set, but in the downloadable versions you can generate your own character, world, and enemies.

Things I wanted to do for the Jam, but ran out of time

• Having a more neutral default for the windows and mac builds to make it more clear when the content is still generating.
• Getting the endpoints to work with the Unity web player.
• More cards and more interesting cards.
• More interesting enemies.
• Better balance, especially in the late game.
• Get better at sending the right assets out earlier for generation on the server.
• TTS quotes on enemy spawn and death.
• More sound effects
• More animations
• Polish, polish, polish.

I'll eventually turn off the servers, but the pre-generated defaults for the fire mage will remain and it will still be playable.
