Project Nova

EARLY ACCESS - PLEASE READ CURRENT STATE

Project Nova is a twin stick, 2 player side on action game, featuring destructible terrain and a variety of weapons and gameplay modes.

CURRENT STATE

• 2 PLAYER, CONTROLLER SUPPORT ONLY (3/4 PLAYER UNTESTED)
  • No Keyboard options at the moment, and only limited control planned (as it needs twin stick for best gameplay)
• 19 weapons, more to come!
• Basic random level generation (customisable via text edit for now)
• Starting loadouts (customisable via text edit for now)
  
• DeathMatch, 2 more gamemodes to follow (Zone Control and CTF)

ROADMAP

More weapons:

• A few fire weapons, with fire which will behave consistently across them.
• A few mine / defensive weaopns, at least a stickly mine and a laser trip device of some sort.
• A few additional guns for flavour
• A few weapons in an experimental class

More environmental / map components / hazards

• Geyers, which pipe steam up tunnels
• More organic looking maps
• Seeded generation for replayability

More UI & Data

• Better control in game menus to configure loadouts, map generation etc. (this can currently be done by adding json files in certain folders)
• UI polish pass
• Better messages on who killed who, deaths, stats etc.

Better control support

• Old school keyboard options - look up/down vs twin stick on controller

Game modes

• Capture the flag 
• Team modes for all other game modes 

Things to explore consider (not promised)

• Mod support - will almost certainly be some level of configuration of weapons, and new weapons, question is about how flexible that system is.
• Fortress modes - fixed weapons
• Basic level editing options
