Haunted Tower

After I figured out the name and theme, I started coding the first version of the game (version alpha). My plan was to write and release the game after a week. It only included bare game mechanics, a rudimentary UI, and stock/placeholder graphics.

Although the game was public I didn't push to social media or did any promotion to people outside my circle of friends & family. I needed that initial feedback, and understanding that it was only the first version.

I was looking for a new project to start as I was on a hiatus from my regular consulting job. There were a few checkboxes that the new project had to tick. First, it needed to be a fun and challenging project, then it needed to allow me to use Typescript, and lastly, it had to allow me to learn something new.

After a few days, I came up with the game idea and after a few iterations, I found the theme and came up with the name. Then came the domain(s) purchase and setting up GitHub, VSCode, Typescript, Phaser, and other tools & frameworks I was going to use.
