3D Tile-based game

I've started another project and made a playable demo. It doesn't have a name yet. I'm just calling it Tile Game 3d. This is my second attempt at a 3d game. I decided I needed more constraints to actually finish a project. So in this game everything is based on a grid of tiles, and combat is turn based. I'm using Godot 4 with a gridmap node that lets me place 3d tiles by painting them in. I use Godot's navigation system to move units around the map. I even have tiles at different heights up to 4 tiles high. So I can have more interesting geometry. So far I've made an archer unit that the player controls and a skeleton enemy that has very simple AI. 

I was thinking I would make a tactics game at fist but I think it will be a more traditional rogue like RPG. With puzzles and turn-based combat. It's starts with you only controlling one unit, but I plan to have multiple units of different types that you can control. Your party size will grow over the course of the game. I all ready have controlling multiple units working, but I only have an archer unit at the moment. 

I added a simple inventory system. Each unit has a backpack with 4 item slots. I added a health and mana potion that you can pick up and carry in your inventory before using. I also want to add keys and other items you can pick up. Maybe different weapons and armor. I just added a fireball spell and a mana bar to the game. I think different characters will have different spells but for now the archer has a fireball spell. 

Finding good models with animations has been the hardest thing so far. I wish I had someone I trust to make me models instead of searching the internet and spending a few bucks. Once I'm deeper into making this thing I will reach out to someone and pay them to make a set of stylized 3d characters. Like an archer, mage, knight. It's a tall order to try and teach my self 3d animation and modeling along with making the rest of the game. 

I made an itch page for testing purposes. I needed to make a itch page at some point so I might as well put it up now. I think it's a cool little demo with simple puzzles that take about 5 minutes to run through. If you give it a try tell me what you think.
