Seeds & Swarm

Seeds & Swarm is a short, 3-5 minute proof of concept made in about 4 weeks using the Godot game engine. It was our (credits listed below) final group project for GAME-714 - Game Design: Ludic Methodology @ SCAD. Due to time constraints (and frankly, other final assignments), the focus in development was on 1) core gameplay of healing plants + fighting bugs, and 2) a complete loop from start menu to credit screen.

Players take on the role of Hazel, a witch that discovers the forest she lives in has been infested with bugs. Hazel must find and destroy these bugs using powerful spells, while also healing the plants they've damaged in their wake.
