The goal is to create the smallest prototype possible. We will show our ability to make a 3-dimensional shooter in SDL3. It will make use of third party integrations to minimize the work we would have to do on engine tools. The point isn't to make a full game or even enjoyable experience, but rather demonstrate the integration. I would make a video on this.
After finishing the project. We can expand to make a full experience or optimize to our hearts content. For this immediate project, we need at least the following to be completed:
We should keep all optimization and abstraction to a minimum. If we reuse our old code on past projects it should be small and limited so that the codebase can evolve around the projects needs and not the other way around. In the future, we can expand on the prototype, make the repo private, or optimize code as much as we want. The immediate goal is to finish a basic demo with the integrations. The art direction is not important. We can just download models and animations as needed.
