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 (Windows only) (You need to be signed in to GitHub to download).

Main ideas:

(note: anything is subject to change)

Ideas Document

• 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
