Siege Survival Mod

 

Overview

Siege Survival: Gloria Vitus is an RTS game developed by Black Eye Studios and published by Ravenscourt. The game takes place in a medieval city that is under siege by invaders. The game is a mix of survival strategy, resource management, and city-building. This mod provides an easier transition into the complex game mechanics that create a high learning curve for Siege Survival. This mod was a Game Design II assignment while I was at FIEA in the Technical Design track.

The main phases of Siege Survival are the day phase and the night phase. During the day, survivors have to build equipment, harvest materials from plants, and build up the defenses of the castle. During the night phase, survivors must venture into the outskirt of the city to harvest raw materials that are needed to help build the defenses the castle and support the castle defenders.

The Game Mod I designed and developed for Siege Survival: Gloria Victis focuses on providing players with more robust starting characters that can help ease understanding all of the complex game mechanics and responsibilities in the game. Also, included are some assets to make resource management more attainable for starting players. Finally, one character in particular, has a more combat focus to make the night phase of the game more engaging.
