Rogue Wave

Rogue Wave is a prototype of a first person, roguelike wave shooter. At this stage of development, the focus is very much on the game loop and mechanics. It's not pretty, but it is fun.

The code for this is open source - though you will need a copy of Neo FPS to be able to run the game locally. You don't need it if you want to contribute models, sounds, particles etc.

The game loop goes like this:

• Buy your first weapon recipe for your Nanobots
• Spawn in to combat
• Destroy enemies spawned by the enemy spawners, gather resources
• Resources are used to create ammo and health
• Destroy the shield generators on the spawners
• Stop the enemies killing you
• Try to destroy the generators

If you destroy all the generators in a level you return to the hub scene where you can spend resources on new recipes for use in future runs.

• As you collect resources in a level your nanobots will create new weapons and tools from your known set of recipes
• Equipment built during a run will be retained across levels in that run
• Kill more enemies, get more resources
• Repeat, until dead. 

Once you die you can start again. You lose all the equipment gained in the last run. But the recipes you bought in the hub remain available to you for future runs.

This means you are more powerful with each run and thus will likely get further.

Gan you escape this world and get home?
