Dots and Triangles
A downloadable game for Windows
Dots and Triangles medieval themed take on the pencil and paper game dots and boxes.
Each player takes turns connecting two towers (dots) to try and create triangles. When a triangle is closed, that player claims the area covered by that triangle. At the end of each round, the player with the most area wins. The first player to win 2/3 rounds wins the game.
I created all of the assets used in the game except for the grass texture which can be found here.
Overall I was able to get all the features in the game that I wanted to. If I were to improve this game I would improve the area detection (currently the area can be doubled up if there is a triangle in another triangle), as well as include the ability to detect cycles of connected towers longer than 3 (such as quads, or5 sided shapes). I would also improve the UI because currently its very basic.

It is a very interesting game as far as the strategy goes. There is a lot of depth to the different moves that can be made however it does feel like on the intermediate/beginner level it quickly devolves into only connecting unconnected towers until one of you has to make a wall that lets the other player get the first triangle. Also the end screen is very saturated and bright to the point where it felt like getting flashbanged. Also it feels like adding a feature where the game ends when there are no more valid walls would be nice and probably not too hard since the game already checks when you try to build a wall.
This was actually a very nice concept. The one thing its really missing from being a pretty solid standalone would be a tutorial to explain all of the cool mechanics you can take advantage of. Very good game.
Well done. Simple but engaging core gameplay loop.
