Bonelord
A downloadable game for Windows
This was my entry for the "Zero Game Jam" at Lusófona University, and is very incomplete. The theme was bones.
In Bonelord, you control a necromancer that can summon skeletons to fight waves of self-righteous clerics.
Gather resources and build custom skeletons from scratch!
Full source code can be found at https://github.com/DiogoDeAndrade/BoneLord
Basically I built the whole game in 20 hours or so, but I was having a lot of fun with this one, and I believe it can actually BE a fun game, so I may develop this further in the future.
