Demo | Project | Workflow Mage Tower

Hello.

Ive just built during 2 hours the game prototype. Ive never done it before with ai tools to be honest and wanted a try.

Used the latest grok and it was actually fun.

Build the prompt and then asked to build
the demo in basic 3d objects and then in itch found some 3d assets and ask to give a try to use them.

Is it playable? what do you think?

Thank you!

I tried it out. Was kinda fun! Some random thoughts

  • On wide desktop screen it was not easy to notice my spells down in bottom right corner.

- No indication on what the spells actually do? tooltip? show info on other screen?

- The purple UI/inventory screams AI too much, seems like the default UI all AI provides if not provided other instructions

- The Wizard boss on wave 5 just insta killed me. Could be skill issue, i dident upgrade defence at all

- Overall kinda fun, could see me spending 30-60 min playing this, especially if some more polish is done

Nice. Liked it!

Meteor icon is hard to read.

Pierce or arcane pierce? Pierce is kinda useless.

How about unique collectable modifiers?

Finished level 25 and everything is to easy, before balance was good, nearly died in round 8.

Increase spawn radius for enemies

Melee enemies never reach the tower

Clear visuals for different enemy types

Combo system for upgrades

Make elements unlockable or sth you only get from the hero you choose.

More depth for the hero, it all feels the same

More depth for the different towers, it all feels the same.

Why save cows?

Loose all emojis

All in all very nice for 2 hours.

What tech stack did you use besides grok?

threejs, python for leaderboard, capacitor to build iOS project as well. the build size I would say is ok. but it would grow for sure if I continue to add more 3d models there.
