General

• goal is to reach top of the map

Map

• infinite 3d map
• map is grid based
• whole map is filled with dungeons
• ancient mayan inspired dungeons
  • some are active with no wines
    • filled with monsters, guardians and traps
    • high-value treasure/gear/materials inside
  • the rest is like a wilderness
    • filled with animals and "plants"
  • there are different zones or "biomes" of dungeons
    • they are procedurally generated
    • generated monsters and items
    • different levels and rewards
    • zones have random names
      • maybe like in dwarf fortress?
  • random plague in rooms
  • the plague takes over nearby open rooms slowly
  • the plague is dark, it eats all light
  • the plague grows much quicker in darkness
  • the plague can be fought with, but its quite slow
  • the plague turns entities into a dark, fast and aggressive version
    • dark entities will have a negative effect on light
• occasional towns and caverns
• some source of light exists but its mostly dark

Mechanics

• food water and light are neccesary to survive
  • survival shouldnt be a hard to sustain
  • survival shouldnt limit the player
• player is free to build and rearrange the dungeons
• dynamic combat system
• weapons are hotline miami-like
  • ofc no guns
    • okay maybe a little
• game assets loadable with lua or other language
• physics engine
• entities move freely or on a smaller grid
• entities can fall down

Graphics

• the view is top down
• you can see levels below, darker or something
• extensive light system
• extensive field of vision system
• minimap showing the dungeon zones
