GambleSmith is a game I made with three other students during the Xamk Game Jam Spring 2023. I was the only one in the team drawing graphics so I got the title of art director. Unfortunately we ran out of time and were not able to finish the game during the jam.
"When the first buds of the cardstock tree bloomed and the first chunks of gamblechip ore were unearthed, the kingdom of Ye Olde Vegas prospered. These new materials brought great wealth to the kingdom; but with wealth, come those who covet it.
Bandits, brigands, and monsters who had laid dormant for centuries reared their heads and came to the kingdom, seeking to take its great wealth to themselves.
Fortunately for the people of Ye Olde Vegas, a guild of smiths had learned to unlock the secret powers of the materials. They forged them into mighty weapons that could push back the evils wanting to lay claim to the kingdom. And thus, the first Gamblesmiths were born!"
In GambleSmith the player's job is to make weapons according to customer orders. Using molten poker chips as a base material and creating the correct mould with playing cards. The last step is to enchant the weapon with dice to get the desired magical effect.
