With the game's current state, there are a lot of things that can be improved.
The game is still in its infancy, and there are many things that can be added to make it more enjoyable.
Some of the things that I would like to add are:
Creating custom challenges that would allow the player to play as enemies. This wouldn't be limited to just
basic enemies, maybe bosses too?
Multiplayer capabilities, allowing the player to play with their friends.
A different game mode, with a single arena constantly changing environment.
And much more soon!
Behind the Scenes
Every Run is Different!
The game's level generation is completely random, with the ability to replicate the same levels (provided the seed is the same) in a single run. Given this feature, there are a lot of different level layouts to be generated.
Scalability
The variety of level layouts is not limited to a single seed. The game can be played with different seeds and generate different levels. Generation Seeds impact the level generation process, even to what items are spawned in the level, to what enemies are spawned in the level, and which bosses are fought.
Room Creation Tool
As much work as it is to create a room one by one, the Room Creation Tool allows the player to create multiple rooms at once. The tool allows the player to create rooms of different layouts, different enemies, and even allow special events to occur in the rooms. Allowing a visual representation of the rooms to be created. Even giving an environment to test the level out as it's created!
