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!
