Holey Ship!
A downloadable game
Overcooked meets FTL:faster than light PvP space battler.
I will always be proud of this project since it was the first ever game that I programmed myself, helping me realise that my dream of being a generalist game designer is possible.
It was a seemingly simple concept to begin with, originally intended to be a 1v1 couch co-op game, but after playtesting and realising the desired chaos I wanted was lacking i added another player to each team to increase collaboration and more chaos through yelling at your teammate for leaving a battery on the charging dock to long so it exploded. Which certainly pulled the game into the overcooked styled madness that I wanted.
I wanted the clever decision making to be rewarded much like in FTL so I designed a three different guns that would interact differently, First there's the missile cannon, this weapon dealt the most damage to the ships hull, blew a hole in a wall that would leak oxygen, but would deal zero damage to shields. Second, there is the energy cannon, this weapon would deal one damage to shields and one damage to the hull. Finally there was the EMP cannon, this weapon would take twice the charge but would disable the enemy shield for a period of time. With these three weapons this leads to numerous different strategies and counter strategies for players to try.
