The Guild Master Is Watching!

"You hired them. You don't trust them. Micro-manage or die."

⚔️ What Is This?

The Guild Master Is Watching! is a micro-management tower defense where the "towers" are your own guild members - and they're only effective when you're literally watching them.

You command from a small office. Your teammates sit at desks, each controlling units of your castle's defense. When you focus your attention on them, their units fight harder, move faster, and push back the horde. Look away, and they immediately start slacking.

You hired them. You pay them. You still can't trust them.

🎮 Core Mechanics

• ▸Focus L-Shape: A rotatable, draggable L-shaped focus zone covers 3 teammates at a time. Positioning is your only tool.
• ▸Anxiety Economy: Focus generates combat power, but spread it too thin and everyone underperforms.
• ▸The Slacking: Unwatched teammates' units slow down, stop chasing enemies, and deal half damage.
• ▸Fatigue System: Keep someone focused too long and they burn out - turning red and performing worse than if ignored.
• ▸Guild Recruitment: Hire farmers (generate gold), peasants (spawn weak units), and warriors (spawn strong units). Place them. Manage them. Panic.
