Curate and manage your own ski resort and watch as the money rolls in! There's only 80 days of winter left when you open your ski resort to the public. Carefully place ski slopes to generate income, but be careful: placing runs on inappropriate slopes may negatively affect your generated income! Need more time to plan out your empire? If so, freeze time and plan your way to success before the 80 days are up.

Snowdrift: Ski Resort Manager is a game I made for Godot Wild Jam 76 (December 2024 - theme: Freeze). Everything was created from scratch by myself, including the game design, art and code. The only premade asset used is the featured font: Analog Whispers (https://fontesk.com/analog-whispers-font/).

This was my most technically challenging game jam project yet, as I have never worked with procedurally generated terrain or an isometric artstyle before. As such, time was a limiting factor and I couldn't add everything I would have liked to. Ski lifts and restaurants would have been ideal editions, giving runs adjacency bonuses. The ability to remove tiles from a run would also be nice QoL upgrade for a potential remake/update. Perhaps more importantly though, I ran out of time to add any audio to the game, again. I will try and make sure to add some in my next game jam entry.

Godot Wild Jam wildcards

Every day, the mountain is rerolled to present a completely new challenge from the day before. The shape of the mountain may only change slightly, but tree coverage could completely change the feel (and difficulty) of any given run. The game uses the date as a seed to procedurally generate a new map each day. Can you get today's highest earning ski resort?
