This is a concept game that uses spritec to generate its assets. The game has not been created yet.

Ideas:

• full screen game
• enemy swarms
• Kenney 2D/3D assets
• 3D game with 8 directional movement (like Zealot)
  • Orthographic camera?
• 32x32 character
• Much larger sprite for boss (in the same spritesheet)
• Integrate bigboi, alien_ghost, etc. if possible (not required)
  • Maybe as special items or NPCs

Game concept:

• robots have taken over
• goal: take back the city
  • robots are planning to poison the water supply, need to get to the final boss before everything is totally poisoned (or before they manage to get all the poison?)
• player is a human who uses robot parts (e.g. robot arms, projectiles, etc.) against the robots in order to defeat them
• need to destroy mobs of robots, earn points, and collect parts
• boss level only unlocked once you have a certain number of points
• fight through waves of enemies
• tanks, bigger robots, turrets
• boss robots
• different weapons (short-range, long-range, timed/bombs, etc.)
  • limited weapon slots
  • limited ammo (can be picked up during the level or bought in the shop)
  • weapons break after a certain amount of use (main fist weapon is always available)
• walls that you can shoot and destroy
• health bar
• pickup robot parts
  • robots drop random parts when defeated
  • sell parts for money or use them in upgrades
• defeating robots gives you a fixed number of points
• buy upgrades and health - from where?
  • map of levels/worlds like in Celeste or Super Mario
  • shop is accessed by going back and forth through the level menu (like Super Mario)

To generate the assets, run the following command from the root directory of this project:

cargo run --manifest-path assets/spritesheets/Cargo.toml

Currently, you need to have spritec in the same directory as the directory where you have this project. This is because the asset generation uses spritec as a path dependency.
