What if there was a game inspired by "Plants vs zombies", "Inscryption", and while we are at it "Pleh!" too? As you could have guessed it is this game.

The playlist that inspired me to start gamedev and what this project was meant to be about:

What is this game?

A tower defense game heavily inspired by plants vs zombies with many new mechanics and 3 entire dimensions! It has the cabin type gameplay from Inscryption, and in theory should have incredible sound design and dark themes. It should also have a fully fleshed out story but as of now I have made close to no effort in doing so.

Why so much unrelated inspiration?

It's not unrelated! Or actually it is... but it is still important for the game to be the game I want it to be. Note how I said "inspiration" and not some other word you could confuse it with. It means that it is the mechanics I am "repurposing" and not the entire game, ok?

Who is working on it?

Just me and sometimes my friends punching down. Kidding, in all seriousness my friends have been supportive and even made itch accounts so they can follow me. So say <h1>Hello world!</h1> deafcarnie & Stoelpoot, deafcarnie even has his own project which he will try working on so make sure to punch down on his hopes and dreams, don't actually do that. And we can't forget the star of the show Chatgpt 3.5, don't judge me.

Who are you?

An aspiring game dev who as around his mid teens we stopped making stories to make comics which a promptly stopped with to start this. I started because of watching a lot of gamedev videos like Dani and Lixian. The idea was to make a horror plants vs zombies x Inscryption game because of my listening to this plants vs zombies horror ost playlist and make a half decent game out of it but as it turns out Nostalgic-whats-his-name beat me to the punch with a Pvz horror mod while I was still brainstorming so now I will have to go above and beyond for the next year or so.

When will it come out?

As I am about to go to high school and going to get a side job in the next couple months, there is only so much time I can put towards this project so please for the love of god be patient. I can put around an hour a day on average so it's somewhere between 1 and 2 mechanics and features a week.

I am hoping and trying to release a demo around November 14th 2024 (14-11-2024) 'cause of it being when I started my one year challenge inspired by Lixian's Unus Annus challenge. Here is a rough timer for the (potential) release date.

Is this game going to be any good?

Probably not - I mean like, first game, can't code, not a easy type of genre, single person (coding, art, music, marketing, etc.) - You tell me.

Progress

I have made a player-bean, half of a house, solarpanels, lanes, zombie, 1 extra thing that would be a spoiler.

I am currently working on making the stamina and health bars for the Player.

But I have a document with 2000-odd words describing features to put in my game including designs, dialogue, mechanics, PLACEABLES, zombies, and many many things I have planned that would spoil everything!
