GREEK WAR

This represents my contribution to the Universal Lab team for the development of Greek War. I was responsible for programming all gameplay systems (both singleplayer and multiplayer) in direct collaboration with Game Designers. Team: Guilherme L. De Cicco (Game Designer), Stefano Zantut (3D Art), Matheus Correia (Narrative Designer), Eduardo Candido and Luana Hintz (2D Art), K.O. Midias & Marketing (Promotion), Audio Sunflyer (Soundtrack, Sound Effects)..

Overview

A turn-based card and board game that can be played offline in single-player or online multiplayer. Players must choose between Ancient Greek city-states (Athens and Sparta in the prototype version) with unique strategic characteristics. The 4-row, 6-column board houses each card's buildings, and the objective is to complete a row with units from their city-state. Units have attack and defense values ​​that the player can use to determine combat and pave the way to victory. Each unit has its own unique characteristics: restricted building positions, attack range, abilities that can increase the defense and attack of neighboring units, and the ability to move, among others.
