Ethervoid

Features

• Fully data-driven design, with all content declared via .ron files.
• Scriptable enemy behavior, allowing easy modding.
• More to come in the future!

Contributing

Please see the style guide (WIP) for information on how to follow the project's coding standards. Fair warning: as the primary developer of this project is new to coding and very inexperienced, expect messy and unreadable code.

Contributions must be under the Artistic 2.0 License, or another license that allows relicensing to Artistic 2.0. This is to allow the game to be released on platforms where releasing the source code is not possible (This will be useful if a console port ever becomes a possibility). Contributions with no specified license will be assumed to be under the Artistic 2.0 License.
