Gnewt

Gnewt is a tactical battle simulation where you need to build power and be the last one standing!

Defeat all enemy teams by claiming tiles and breeding Gnewts. Manage your food and build combat power (CP) to survive in this hostile arena.

What I did

I planned to experiment with AI for this game jam. Using the theme "Adapt or Die" I decided to create a hostile environment where players must grow their newt colony and survive.

I limited food on the map and gave players a need to feed their gnewts, using food as a way to also to build combat strength.

It was fun to experiment with the mechanics and see how players and AI behaved in the simulated environment. I would like to revisit it in the future as I feel it has much to offer.
