First things, first!

The theme was decided, Love, Death and Robots, thats kinda of a hard theme to be honest, it can mean so many things, with this in mind the team joined together to decide what should we do?  Should we recreate an episode? Should we create an ultra conceptual game that follows the premise of the serie? Well, we dont really have much time in our hands, most of the team already works in the game industry and cant work 24/7 on the project so we decided to go with something simpler.

Lets just recreate an episode! But, which episode? There are so many good ones, after a quick meet we decided we would try to make a game based on the famous episode "Suits"
If you are not familiar with this episode, it follows some farmers who fight creatures using mecha suits, the episode has a unique artstyle and some amazing mecha suits.



This episode has that feeling of fighting a swarm of enemies, the same feeling in movies like Starship Troopers and games like Alien Swarm, Walkover and many other top down Shooters.



With this in mind, it's time to make a game!

Since we have decided to make a top down Shooter and our team doesnt have much free time to work on it, we decided to jump ahead and use Top Down Engine, this asset pack would allow us to jump all the basic stuff like character inputs/controller and the weapon system, however we still wanted to add something more than just a top down shooter, for this purpose we have decided that we could add some roguelike elements and upgrade system, and since our character controller were already premade we could focus completely on this.

With our idea set, it was time to study the Top Down Engine and start working on some concepts.
