TETRAVIOLENCE
Made in Godot
Summary
TETRAVIOLENCE is a 2D top-down music-based survivor-like game. You control a band consisting of four members who specialize in their own unique genres, and use their music styles to attack evil music monsters at a festival. Each band member has their own specialization and upgrade tree, allowing for powerful team combos as the player traverses and survives the festival.
It is currently a proof-of-concept. We had four artists and two programmers on our team, so I wanted to focus on the four artists' unique art styles by delegating each one a band member to have visual control of, hence the different art styles. We felt it worked, as each artist's art style represented the genre of their band member.
