Rogue Deck Builder

Rogue Deck Builder is an endlessly replayable double decker roguelike deck builder tower defense game with fishing (available in a future update).

You play as a middle-aged man named Joe who works in construction. The city council recently passed legislation limiting the size of all backyard patios and porch like annexes. 

Facing both an existential and midlife crisis, Joe has begun malding. He's gonna build his deck however he wants, Karens and the architectural review board be damned! He will become the Rogue Deck Builder.

Rogue Deck Builder has two distinct phases. You first build your deck using resources and building actions. Once you've run out of resources, it becomes night and you must  defend your deck from jealous neighbors and building inspectors.

Build turrets to defend your deck. Repair your deck and prevent wood rot. Shoot whoever gets in your way.

Jealous neighbors will attempt to tear down your deck by attacking the supporting posts. If they succeed, the deck will collapse beneath you. If that happens, you better run for your life because the HOA takes no prisoners.

How to play:
If you are playing on Windows, start out by toggling fullscreen with the F11 key. It looks way better. 

Control Joe with the WASD keys.

Hover over potential building sites to see the cost of building new structures, and left click to build them.

Deckbuilding Basics:
As in real life, you must build your deck by laying down postholes, connecting the postholes with a rim joist, and then placing deck paneling over the newly joisted section.

You can build a deck panel on top of any section you surround with rim joists. The cost of doing so will be displayed in a pop up menu over the deck panel.

Pickups:
The world map has card pickups scattered throughout it. To activate them, you must first build your deck up to the neighboring houses so you can walk to them.

Once you walk up to the card pickup, press the 'E' key to interact with it.

Cards:
Rogue Deck Builder is the first deck builder that is also a deck builder. Cards allow you to place new structures on top of the deck. You can place turrets, solar panels, and prism towers. Turrets shoot the neighbors. Solar panels provide energy for prism towers, which do devastating damage through network effects.

Resources:
Trees provide lumber, which you chop with your trusty axe. Walk up to a tree and hover your mouse over it to chop the tree.

At present, lumber is the only resource in the game, but that is going to change in future iterations with much more content.

Energy:
The most important buildings require the use of energy. You will need to build solar panels to generate electricity before you can place buildings which require it.

How to win:
As in life, you don't ever win. You just play the game as long as you can and survive. See how big you can build your deck and how many waves you can survive.

How to lose:
If you are standing on a deck panel and an enemy's attack causes that deck panel to collapse, you will get kicked off the deck. Enemies are more aggressive when you aren't on the deck. HOAs and Karens can smell fear, so you best stick to the deck when the mob comes.

Deck panels which are under attack will appear in red. When you see red deck panels, be aware that it is dangerous to be standing on them. You are at risk until the neighbor stops attacking the postholes which support that deck panel.
