Overview
after-bedtime is my most developed game — a survivors-like auto-battler where you’re a wind-up toy knight fighting off waves of toys that come alive once the house goes quiet. Move, dodge, and let your auto-attacks do the work while you stack upgrades.
What I built
- Full survivors loop — enemy spawning and scaling, an arsenal of weapons, and a wind-up/upgrade system that escalates each run.
- Real iteration — 20+ exported, playable demo builds (mvp15 → mvp23), so the design has been pressure-tested by actually playing it, not just theorizing.
- A design library — an extensive set of game-design docs backing the mechanics and progression.
Why Godot
I wanted to learn an engine that’s lightweight, open-source, and fast to iterate in — and Godot’s scene system made it easy to go from idea to playable build in an evening. This is where most of my game-dev hours have gone.
Built with Godot 4 GDScript
