A Note from the Designer:
The concept behind this game was developed by myself and a few others during the 2017 Global Game Jam. Eight years later, I wanted to experiment with modern AI coding tools to assess their capability and limitations. I spent about an hour distilling the game's concept and writing a comprehensive game design document that aligned with my own vision, then I provided an AI coding agent with the design doc. Although it missed the mark in a few areas initially, the agent started out with something surprisingly playable that roughly reflected the design. After about 10 hours of additional tweaks, additions, and iterations, I ended up something that I was happy to share with the public - all without writing a single line of code.
The product of this experiment was well worth the time and money put into it, and while I could have developed this game entirely myself as a Software Engineer, I chose to do so with the use of AI and thus can't justify charging anyone for it.
HOWEVER - if you want to invest in the ongoing development of this game, I'll gladly accept donations via an upcoming "Dev Support DLC", or you can donate via Venmo (@RyanCollins86) or reach out to me directly via . I'll be sharing a roadmap in the Discord where you can also chat with other players, report bugs, and provide suggestions new features for the roadmap.
