Ancient Potato

An active tower defence with guns

About

Developed over three to four months in mid-2024. Since then, the project has been sitting on my hard drive. The codebase became too messy (5k python spaghetti) to continue development, so I decided to upload it as a prototype (more of an alpha) to archive and share it.

Currently, the game is not in a playable state (there’s no economy, balance, or any level design). However, I still believe it’s interesting enough to share and plus there is some polish on it.

This project is my "dream game"  and it’s actually the reason I got into game development in the first place. The story of the game has already been written and hopefully, one day i will finish it.

Also, the game uses dynamic data,  meaning level information is generated at runtime through an custom embedded language. You can even write Python within it.
