TL;DR AI
2 min readKey summary
AP Thomson’s Titanium Court is a distinctive indie game that mixes match-3, tower defense, and narrative-driven fantasy.
Its handheld-inspired look and feel were shaped by Thomson’s love of games like Golden Sun and The Lost Age.
The project started as a 2019 game jam prototype and evolved into a polished release through iteration and playtesting.
Publisher support from Fellow Traveler helped turn the unusual concept into a fully published indie title.
