Mega Mecha Matrix - Strategy Game Prototype

About

This idea started as an entry for the GMTK Game Jam 2024 but its scope proved too large to be completed in 4 days. This prototype serves as an example of my ability to program moderately complex systems and follow through on my ideas to completion, but the game design is ultimately not the best.

Development Details

The game was created on and off over the course of about 2 months using the following technologies:

• Engine: GameMaker Studio
• Languages: GML (GameMaker Language, similar to JavaScript)
• Graphics: Adobe Illustrator
• SFX/Music: Logic Pro X

Retrospective

The prototype served its purpose. It made me confident that my initial game design and concept would need to be refined quite a bit to work well. The game concept ended up being much worse in practice than it was in my imagination. Though this is dissapointing, it is a critical part of my game design process.
