Battle Quest
Genre
BattleQuest is a Tower Attack, arcade game with a few twists. It is a “Tower Attack” game because the computer is playing Tower Defense against you. The levels are randomly generated and can go on infinitely, although I will build in some breaks so the player gets a rest.
The Story
You play as one of four mercenaries attacking a planet’s people for gold and glory… and the odd weapons power-up along the way. You have the technology advantage but it’s not as easy as it sounds. The people are naturally doing their best to defend themselves but your fellow mercenaries do not like to share.
Sometimes the other mercenaries will cooperate and sometimes they will try to shoot you out of the sky. You were warned.
See how long you can survive… how many points you get… how long you last on your quest for glory…
Technology
The levels are randomly and procedurally generated so the gameplay is never the same, twice. The defence structures used by the people is governed by a genetic algorithm, so it learns while you play. The fellow mercenary bot controllers also use a genetic algorithm to learn while you play.
VidLog of Development
The development process is being journalled in the DesignerTech YouTube Channel.
