Vision

The initial vision of the project is:

  • Random-based skirmish-level digital tabletop game;
  • Single player only;
  • 3-6 fighters under playerโ€™s control;
  • Small unscrollable maps;
  • Relatively short game session (under an hour);
  • Simple vector 2d graphics with just 3-5 sprites per unit;
  • Reaction attacks and actionโ€™s interruption;
  • Highly dynamic (lots of small unit moves as a side effect of other events);
  • Intentionally stupid and predictable AI;

Roadmap

  • Phase One: Linear Campaign Mode

    An extended prototype focused just on tactical battles.

    • v0.4
      • Basic gameplay with reaction attacks
      • Minimal text-based GUI
      • Basic agent abilities: jumps, bombs, dashes, etc
    • v0.5
      • Basic campaign mode
      • Armor and Break stats (#70)
      • Dynamic blood splatters (#86)
      • Web version
      • Tests
      • Hit chances
    • v0.6
      • Agent upgrades (#399)
      • Flip agent sprites horizontally when needed (#115)
      • Multiple sprites per agent type (#114)
    • GUI icons (#276)
    • Sound & Music (#221)
    • Reduce text overlapping (#214)
    • Move back after a successful dodge (#117)
    • Easing (#26)
    • Path selection (#280, #219)
    • Intermediate bosses
    • Main boss
    • Neutral agents (#393)
    • Weight component (#291)
    • Basic inventory system: slots for artifacts
    • Ranged units
    • More agent types
    • More passive abilities that allow agents to make actions during enemy's turn (#354)
    • More complex multieffect abilities/actions
    • Guide (#451)
    • Save/load (#28)
    • Android version
  • Phase Two: Strategy Mode

    A not-so-linear strategic layer will be added on top of tactical battles. Simple non-linear story and meta-gameplay.

    • Global map
    • Dialog system
    • Quest system
    • NPC/Agent/Masters system

Inspiration

Tactical battle mechanics are mostly inspired by these games:

Building from Source

Install all miniquad's system dependencies.

cargo install resvg
./utils/assets_export.sh
cargo run

WebAssembly

cargo install resvg
./utils/assets_export.sh
rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown
./utils/wasm/build.sh
cargo install basic-http-server
basic-http-server static

Then open http://localhost:4000 in your browser.

Dependencies

The key external dependency of Zemeroth is macroquad/miniquad.

This repo contains a bunch of helper crates:

  • zcomponents is a simple component storage
  • zgui is a simple and opinionated GUI library
  • zscene is a simple scene and declarative animation manager

Also, resvg is used for exporting sprites from svg.
