Stack by Stack - a new tower defence game

Hey all!
A year ago we started learning Unreal Engine. And now our first game is in development.
This is a tower defense game in which you have to stop the robots from stealing the core.

Game Features:

  • Control a character who crafts towers from different parts of robots
  • Recycling robot parts into metal
  • Printing on 3D printers the necessary metal parts for crafting towers
  • Towers need to be stocked with ammo and rebuilt by replacing parts
  • Mining ore with a drill
  • Repair damaged towers with defebrillators
  • Shoot from a light machine gun
  • Unlock new enemies and parts of them
  • And the main mechanics of the game: you can carry everything in stacks on your hands :muscle:

30 different level levels planned

The art style, the intense driller man, the footstep clouds? All of it is just precious! On a bit of a specific topic, I love the way your water looks. It seems so peaceful and serene.

Really excited for this project and can’t wait to see what you and your team do with it. :grin:

This looks interesting. I like the concept of creating towers from different parts.
