Skyward Tactics

This project was intended to serve as a 10 week graduation project for a 2 year education at FutureGames Stockholm, for a team of 5 programmers. With no artists or designers involved in the project, the team's goal was not to make a fully completed game, but rather a stable prototype with robust systems, ready for designers and artists to add actual content.

The prototype was pitched as a co-op turn-based tactical rogue-lite with online multiplayer, in Unreal Engine 5, using Hazelight's UnrealEngine-AngelScript for gameplay programming, taking inspiration from board games such as Descent and Warhammer: Quest.

Major Features
