WolfBox (working title) is a Jackboxlike Werewolflike for 6 to ??? players!
Features
- Dozens of roles that affect the gameplay in weird ways!
- A bunch of weird minigames (NYI)
- TTS announcer that tells you how you died! (Actual voice acting coming One Day)
- No client app needed, just join on your phone (etc.) via QR code!
How it’s made
WolfBox is entirely made in Godot using GDScript! The game is divided into two halves, “host” (for the TV) and “client” (for the players).
Networking
The game runs an internal Caddy server which serves the game client via Godot Web, which then connects back to the game host via WebSockets. Networking is mainly over LAN, so you usually have to be connected to the same network to connect, but this means there’s no dependence on a central server at all! The game also tries to open a port via UPnP so you can connect via the internet (for playing over Discord)
