A downloadable game for Windows

Hi, before we start I want to give you a head up on what you should expect.

This game was more of a playground for me to learn new challenges. I knew very little about RTS development, AI programming, spell casting, vfx for spells, resource transformation and processing (crafting system), have the environment react to your spells (systemic).

I tried to tie all of these elements together after that I started to get bored of the game and decided I wanted to polish it to a state it was playable and presentable. Everytime I found something interesting to learn, I added it as long as it didn't break the game to much.

Things I didn't focus on (as I didn't spend so much time on): UX, Game Balancing (a little bit), animation, 3D modeling (a little bit), UI, Art, lighting & sound (a litttle bit)


Undying Buddies

RTS game where you incarnate a demon, manage a production like to generate energy, buy spells and annihilate a town before they get to you

How To Play

You goal is to destroy the village, for this use the environment or combine your spells to kill the villagers. Once a villager is attacked, the entire village will run toward you. So be prepared!

- Your demons can't defend themselfs, you have to use them to transform the local resources into energy. Add more demon pit & recruit more demons to process faster. Right click on the souls in the demon pit to turn them into energy.

- Energy can then be used to unlock spells, up to 4 spells out of the 6 the game proposes at the moment.

- Systemic spells system; if you use a spell on an other, they get affected, a poison patch, will explode if it collides with fire, dealing all the poison damage at once and explosion damage. Every spell can be combined with an other!
