AN IDEA IN PROGRESS
Ashen Grid
A free, tile-based tactical roguelike inspired by Slay the Spire
What I’m exploring next
I am current looking for play testing. Interested in whether the combat feels balanced, which mechanics are confusing, and whether the game is actually fun. No ongoing commitment. If you're interested, lmk and I'll share how to try it.
A little of the backstory
For the longest time I have wanted to create a tile turn-based combat rouge like inspired by my love of STS but I have never had the time to really dive into the project. After many failed attempts to commit to it, I decided to use this as an experiment to also see how far vibe coding has gotten. So for this project, I let Codex do all of the work independently while I controlled the prompts, gave feedback and steered the direction of the game. Now I'm interested in getting more user feedback as the software develops, at the end of the day, it's only AI slop if there are no people deciding the creative direction, so thats where I think this experiment gets fun. My goal is to just work on this for fun and release it for free for other people who might enjoy the game :)
