Description

Founded in 2016 by Shota Bobokhidze, Shot X Studio is a one-man company based in Tbilisi – the capital of Georgia. As a child, Shota dreamed of having his drawings and ideas come to life in the form of video games. At age 12, he came across Game Maker and was amazed by its capabilities. Game development soon became a passion, and Shota quickly latched onto Game Maker as the perfect 2D game engine – creating a variety of prototypes along the way.

Tower defense reimagined! Dead Ground is a procedurally generated tower defense game with rogue-like elements. Each playthrough will offer randomly generated guns, skills and augments. You'll have to travel, collect scrap, water, manage your inventory and upgrade your base to survive!

Place and upgrade the towers wisely, and use your hero to further defend it in this fast-paced game, a perfect blend of action and strategy. You will face permadeath, lots of brutal enemies, tough boss fights and MUCH, MUCH MORE!

History

After releasing Riskers I wanted to try a different genre, experiment some more, and to come up with an interesting title. I’m a big fan of tower defense games – and there is a lot to learn from, and explore, in that genre. The main focus while developing Dead Ground was to increase the replayability that is often missing in most of the tower defense games and to achieve that, procedural level generation seemed like the best choice along with randomly generated equipment.
