Game idea
- A top-down tactical stealth game about planning paths, staying out of sight and escaping before Heat turns into a city-wide alarm.
- The mood is rain-soaked, neon-lit and focused on quiet tension.
- Gadgets, patrol manipulation, objective routing and clean extraction are central to the loop.
- The project is a long-term hobby and learning space rather than part of the main full-stack portfolio focus.
Learning focus
- Practicing Godot 4, GDScript, game UI, readable HUD information and stealth feedback.
- Exploring level design through patrol routes, shadows, cameras, objectives, extraction zones and risk.
- Using AI-assisted ideation to iterate on mechanics, missions, interface text and game feel.
- Building understanding of interactive systems outside traditional web development.
Current project evidence
- The local project contains a Godot campaign structure with 50 validated missions across 8 acts.
- Core scripts cover player movement, guard AI, HUD, progression, settings, audio and mission runtime logic.
- A headless validation report currently shows 50 missions checked with 0 release-blocking mission issues.
- Release notes and build scripts exist for Windows export, but visual polish and asset work are still ongoing.
