The Custodian

The Custodian is a 2D real-time strategy card game.
The Custodian is a 2D real-time strategy card game where the key mechanic revolves around ‘duplication.’ During each battle, the custodian has the ability to duplicate the enemy’s cards and use them once the duplication process is complete.
Each card, including the duplication process, requires a certain amount of time to activate. Players must wait for this initial time before the cards can be utilized. The countdown for these activations is displayed at the top of the screen.
As usual, our development process began with physical prototypes.
Following that, we established the general code framework to bring our ideas to the digital realm.
Given the complicated mechanism, we crafted a tutorial level to assist players in becoming acquainted with the game.
This is how the time slots (timeline) work.
During the battle, the custodian can detect the cards used by enemies and select which ones to duplicate.
After each level, players can review their card deck and decide which cards they wish to bring to the next level.
