Leganda

Developed by PyxelBlobs Studio and published by PyxelBlobs Studio
Leganda - Build and manage your energy business.r votre production et explorer des îles riches en ressources.
You buy out a forgotten energy company. Develop as you explore the different islands and fight the enemies there!
Your first objective is to produce energy to supply the neighboring villages with Bluegol. Bluegol is the unit of energy in the game. You can produce it using the main generator. However, it must be powered by sub-generators like solar panels, wind turbines, coal generators and more. The energy you produce feeds the surrounding villages. You are then paid with money and you gain reputation. The villages you feed give you access to merchants and quests to develop, improve your production, and explore resource-rich islands.
Explore the islands of the Leganda Archipelago with the teleportation totem. The procedurally generated islands are provided with the resources needed to construct buildings and generators. Some resources are scarce and require visiting multiple islands. To explore them, research and collect blueprints. Once studied, they allow you to locate new islands.
The turn-based combat system uses cards and dice. Before a fight, you can choose a maximum of eight cards for your deck. Unlock new cards in quest rewards or by exploring the world of Leganda. On each turn, the dice are rolled. Each card requires specific conditions on the roll result in order to be used. For example, parity, imparity, a maximum result, a minimum result, etc.
Enemies also have cards. Each type of enemy has its own deck and its own attacks. An enemy can also belong to an element (earth, air, water, fire) and have additional abilities!
Play strategically and choose your cards wisely to defeat them all!
Other planned additions
New production machines: nuclear reactor, gas turbines, hydroelectric turbines, oil generator , geothermal energy generator, [biomass generator,] etc ...
Cultivation of fruits and vegetables which can be used among other things in the biomass generator but also for food.
Tree plantation
At least three new biomes
Engine room upgrade system
Level system for battle cards
Research system for the construction of new buildings
Skill tree and much more!
I am open to all proposals!

EvolveLabOnline

Developed by Siren and published by Siren
Evolve Lab is an online multiplayer game in which you try to descend as deep as possible into the depths of an unknown planet.
In each stage you will fight against creatures that were created by other players and if you win you can improve the programming of your creature until you are the first player to reach a new record depth!
Whenever a creature loses, the creature stays at the current depth and becomes an opponent for the next players.
So over time the waters of this planet will be filled with all kinds of different creatures and it will get harder and harder to be the first player to reach a new depth.
To program a creature players can add different actions to their state machine or improve and modify the actions, that they have already added.
