kgc-companion: The tool for sharing King God Castle teams

Create and share formations and team compositions for the mobile game 'King God Castle' with this tool!

Written by: David Ward

I used to play a mobile game called King God Castle, an RPG gatcha game where character development and team formations were a pivital point to your success in the game.

If you had a bad team, or placed your team in the map in an inefficient way, there was a high likelihood you were going to lose, and with the game’s Food system (the resource you spend to go into a mission) being tied directly to time or real cash dollars spent, you want your attempts to be as successful as possible.

Enter this tool.

Tech

I really wanted to explore using Elixir and Liveview for this project. I also use Tailwind for styling.
