Spire Survive Town Prototype

Concept: SST is a survival strategy game that combines city-building and Tower Defense elements. The player takes command of a small group of survivors after a crash of an aerial transport. The primary goal is to build and manage a vertical fortress-city on a giant spire to escape a deadly toxic mist and swarms of monsters.

Key Features:

• Vertical City-Building: Unlike traditional city builders, construction takes place on a spire. Players start at the top and eventually expand downwards along the cliffs as they unlock new technologies.
• Day/Night Cycle:
  • Day Phase: Focus on resource gathering, research, construction, and managing the needs of the settlers.
  • Night Phase: The toxic mist rises, bringing monsters with it. Production slows down as the focus shifts to defending the spire.
• Survival & Management: Resources are scarce, and every citizen is a valuable asset. Players must make difficult moral and strategic decisions (triage, rationing, accepting refugees) to ensure the colony's survival.
• Unique Setting: A world of floating islands and giant spires where a single day lasts 360 hours. Debris from islands and old transports occasionally falls from the sky, serving as both a hazard and a source of materials.
