How does the game fit the theme?
TURNCOATS is an autobattler which makes Trust its central mechanic. Every mercenary has a Trust value: paying wages preserves and increases it, while withholding pay and witnessing allies fall reduces it. Low Trust weakens a unit, and critical Trust can cause them to permanently defect to the opposing team. Even enemy mercenaries can switch sides, so no team is ever truly secure.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
We used Godot 4.7.2 and the GUT testing addon. Third-party assets used:
- Tiny Swords (Free Pack) by Pixel Frog: character, terrain, and UI art
- 400 Sounds Pack by ci: sound effects
- Free 25 Fantasy RPG Game Tracks Vol. 3 by alkakrab: music
- Shikashi’s Fantasy Icons Pack: item icons
- Medieval UI User Interface by ToffeeCraft: UI assets
- Weather Elements Freebie by Helton Yan: rain, wind, and thunder sounds

Loved the gameplay it was really a cool auto battler, didn't like how sometimes the detail box of the pact description stays when you go to the payment and inventory screen, Really fits the theme as well, thanks for the good times and even a leaderboard! (˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧
This is a great game, and it's incredibly well-polished! My main critique is that it's a bit too easy; the gold rewards are generous enough that it doesn't offer much of a challenge. On the other hand, I think it would fit the theme better if there was always a tiny chance of betrayal—even when trust is maxed out, because the player shouldn't trust anyone! Still, it's a fantastic game overall, and I'll definitely be jumping back into it later
It's the small touches, like the change-sides pop-ups during the battle that help what might otherwise be difficult to read, very easy to follow. Great work!
very cool game!
