Hello world! I thought I'd make introductions with a the first public build of my solo developed and very much in-progress game for you guys to try out. Though I have previously worked on projects on this site as part of a group, Project Rebirth is my way of taking what I've learnt and making a full-fledged indie game.

What is Project Rebirth?

Project Rebirth is and will be a fast-paced hack and slash game with rpg and roguelite elements. You will be fighting through rooms of increasingly stronger enemies using one or more melee weapons, a consumable gadget, and any number of looted mods to change up aspects of your character and (hopefully) defeat the formidable foe at the end.

Currently, the initial early access includes the first act and boss fight as well as two melee weapons, two gadget variants and a host of mods, as well as 3 different enemy types, each with different difficulty tiers. Also included is a merchant you can encounter to bolster your arsenal with the scraps you pick up from enemies, as well as a permanent upgrade system you can utilize to up your chances in future runs.

It goes without saying that as the first initial early access build there will be bugs and jankiness to be ironed out in future updates, as well as numerous placeholder sounds and icons. Please feel free to give the game a shot and let me know if you encounter any bugs.

What's next?

For the next update I'm planning to implement the third, heavier melee weapon type, as well as a new gadget that will work slightly differently than the two throwing knife variants currently in the game. Higher tier variants of gadgets will also be included, allowing you to switch up or upgrade your gadget during a run. In addition to art for existing mods, I aim to include a bunch of new mods that will let you change up your character in ways other than just buffing or debuffing your statistics.

And it goes without saying there will be more polish and bug fixes. Proper UI resizing based on resolution will be a priority amongst other known issues.
