Project Details
The conception of Sorcerer Smackdown originated between playing lots of Slay the Spire and card games with my family. Simple gameplay that ramps up as the game progresses with plenty of room for expansion, such as status effects, permanent stat upgrades and Jackbox style multiplayer. This project taught me a lot about structuring round and turn management, card game implementation and widget animation.
