About This Game
Skeleton Offense is a prototype blending auto-chess drafting with tower-offense gameplay. Players buy units from a loot-box shop, place them on board slots, and watch three identical same-tier units automatically combine into a single stronger one. Once a round starts, the army marches down a spline path and breaks off to attack towers and a final enemy base.
Features
- Auto-Merge: Three identical same-tier units in the camp automatically combine into a tier-up — detected via LINQ
GroupBy({Config, Tier}) - Spline Path + NavMesh Hybrid: Units walk a Unity Splines path; when close enough to a precomputed aggro waypoint, they switch to NavMesh navigation to fight
- Loot Box System:
ILootGenerator<T>interface with unit (tier-weighted), gold, and buff generators - Three Unit Types: Swordsman, crossbowman, mage — each with distinct weapon ranges and tier-scaled damage
Technical Highlights
- Stand positions pre-computed at spawn time via 200-sample NavMesh rejection loop, correlating each valid position to the earliest spline waypoint — aggro trigger is a single float comparison per frame
- State machine with seven states; machine is a thin dispatcher, all logic lives in state objects that cache component references at construction
