Grid Tactics
Overview
Grid Tactics was a 7x7 turn-based tactical browser game MVP. The project was closed on 2026-03-12 after review because it was too heavy for the company's lightweight, GitHub-Pages-first direction.
Status
- Start date: 2026-03-08
- Closed date: 2026-03-12
- State: closed
- Roles involved: Product Owner, Tech Lead, Designer, QA
Intended Scope
The original goal was a playable tactical prototype that could be understood in a few minutes and shipped as a fully static browser game.
Why It Was Closed
- The tactical structure added too much rules overhead and implementation weight for the company's current goals.
- The company direction shifted toward lighter action, puzzle, and shooting concepts.
- Keeping this project active would have slowed down selection of a better-fit main title.
