Spellwood Grove

Description :

Beyond the mountain, in the forest of Spellwood Grove, lies a magical pond, enchanting the surrounding fauna and flora. One day, the very ground itself turned magical. Over time, it developed a consciousness, realizing that this great source of magic draws many covetous eyes.

YOU ARE THIS LIVING GROUND! It is your duty to protect this precious source from adventurers, wild creatures, and monsters eager to claim its power. Transform the forest, arrange the trees, move the rocks, dig the earth, and raise mountains. Do whatever it takes to defend the source of magic, for this magic is your very essence.

Context :

Spellwood Grove was born out of creativity and passion during a two-week game jam. This intense challenge pushed us to imagine a unique and immersive concept in a short amount of time. Inspired by the theme of mutation (the jam's theme), we wanted to explore an idea where nature itself becomes the protagonist. The concept of a magical forest, endowed with consciousness and capable of transforming to defend itself, quickly captivated us.

Features :

• Great mobility: Since the player is the grove itself, you move like a spirit of the forest. You can float around the world and quickly go from one point to another. But the grove is tricky to navigate, so don't get lost !

• Terrain Transformation: Manipulate each tile of the forest to create traps, block paths, or eliminate enemies using the unique powers of Spellwood Grove.

Next Steps :

If you like the project, we're already thinking of adding:
- More unique tiles.
- A procedurally generated map.
- More unique enemies.
- A total rework of enemies' AI.
- A magic resource system.
- The ability to expand the grove and create more magic sources.
- A story line and more lore.

About :

Spellwood Grove is a prototype developed in two weeks for a game jam. We are eagerly awaiting your feedback to improve the game and decide on the next steps. Thank you in advance for playing, for your support and feedback!
