Game Overview & History

This is an older project no longer in development, but I decided to upload the prototype in case anyone wanted to play around with it.

RootHaven was planned to be a voxel boss-battle game, primarily focused on melee combat. Players were to defeat a boss in each world, each time unlocking new resources to craft better equipment.
