WW1 - No Man's Land

Overview 

WW1 - No man's Land is a game centered around trench warfare during WW1. There are 2 sides, the allies (composed of British and French troops) and the German forces. It is played on a top down grid, which will be decorated with WW1 theme based art. Players take turns either moving their troops up or drawing power up cards. Power up cards are separated into lethal and non lethal categories. These cards range from the ability to call in artillery strikes, throw grenades, call in smoke bombs, and much more. How far troops can move or shoot is also determined by dice. The end goal is to capture all 3 trenches, to obtain full control of the battlefield. 

How the game started 

A while back I designed a physical board game for my level design class. The board game was a turn based strategy game based on WW1 trench warfare. The board game has just been sitting around, so I thought why not try and take that physical version and adapt it into a computer game, so now here I am trying to do just that!

Some art from the board game itself

I am currently doing an entire re-skin of the art I did for the physical board game, since I want a pixel art look and some more things are needed for a full on computer game; however, below is the 2D vector art I created in Adobe Illustrator for the physical version of this board game!

Well, this is all for now! I am going to strive to document my entire dev process as well. Due to this, I will be uploading a devlog at least every month, and try to have a video showing what new features were added. 

Also, feel free to check out my devlog section if you are interested in keeping up to date with the project!
