Overview:
Inspired by Noita and the Falling Everything Engine, I am replicating the engine in order to create a survival game.
It’s vaguely like Terraria in that it’s a 2d side view survival.
It’s more like Noita with its simulated physics, but less “chaotic”, since dying is somewhat more impactful.
One of the main things is that I don’t want it to get stale like other survival games where there’s a fixed progression and repetitive world generation and items you have to craft to progress. I want it to be very procedurally generated.
Automatic Development Builds can be found here (You need to be signed in to GitHub to download).
Main ideas:
(note: anything is subject to change)
- Physics engine similar to Nolla Games' Falling Everything Engine
- No traditional inventory: hold/wear/move things in the world
- Procedural world generation: including procedural materials, biomes, etc.
- Design/construct objects/tools/mechanisms
