Description

Dig or Die is a sandbox action/strategy game. Explore, fight, craft, and build up a base with heavy defenses to protect yourself against countless monsters.

History

I tried with this game to show a new meaning of "sandbox" game. Here you can't just do "anything anywhere", but you fight -and play- against the the world itself: its massive monsters attacks at night but also its environment with collapsing buildings, dynamic rain and water, and unstoppable lava.

I wanted it like children that build sand-castle or dams at the beachs : all the pleasure is to build things and see them destroyed by the water, then rebuild stronger, try different things.

I also tried to experiment different ways than the common ones for sandbox game: the player has a real game objective, he chooses its difficulty progression by attacking new species, mining is very fast to avoid spending all its time on it, etc.

Features

  • Strategy: survive massive attacks each night by building strong walls and placing turrets wisely.
  • Physics: build wisely or your structures will collapse! And you will need them to defend your base, or build bridges and high towers to access remote locations
  • Water cycle: rain, infiltration, underground rivers and lakes... be careful during the heavy rains, or you could be surprised by a sudden water level rise!
  • Fun from the start: no awfully slow digging, so you can concentrate on the exploration, fight and strategy.
  • Plenty of minerals to dig, plants to harvest, items, weapons and turrets to craft, and monsters to fight!
  • No swords or magic here! It's a real science-fiction game, with fast and fun laser guns fights!
  • Intelligent monsters: they will find the best path to attack your defenses. And be careful: even if they can't move through walls, they can still destroy them!
