04/04/2023 Project Start

I'm thrilled to reveal this game concept to the world, even if it is still a very rough concept!

The project is a part of my Game Dev studies, I have been tasked with creating a shooter-type game during the srping 2023.

My spin on this assignment is an aetherpunk-themed top-down shooter that explores the identity crisis of a robot as they fight increasingly challenging waves of enemies.

In a world where Mages and Technologists are in constant conflict, where does an aether-powered robot fit in? And when your very existence is the spark that ignites an all-out war, who do you side with? Are there even right and wrong sides to this conflict, or is everyone equally guilty? Or are you yourself the guiltiest of them all, being the reason for this escalation?

These are the things running through our adorable robot's head as they brave seemingly endless waves of Technologist forces, and powerful Generals of the enemy horde

My vision for this game is a good balance of faster paced combat, challenging boss fights, and the more philosophical ponderings. I hope the player will feel sympathy for the poor robot caught in the middle of all this turmoil and want to see their journey to its conclusion.

That's all for now, hopefully there will be more updates soon as the game begins to take shape beyond a rough plan!
