Reflections on 2024
This is a work in progress. Anyone who tries to make a game with cyberpunk aesthetics will quickly come to the realization that the world we live in is quite cyberpunk already, thus the map looks like a place you might see in your town.
I'm proud of the architectural detail, which comes from that liminal space between minimalism and brutalism you see in a mid-90s FPS. This is a mid-2020s FPS, so I'd call it nostalgic. The demo has been updated with all of these changes and more, so please give it a shot! Have a happy new year.

A lot happened in the past year. Many felt the impact of escalating geopolitical events, and I am personally somewhat anxious about my own wellbeing in the coming year. There is a space for games that speak to these issues, but RSOD is primarily a low-brow action game, so I will leave the political discussion at that. For RSOD, the single most important milestone in 2024 was the release of its source code under a permissive license. Since June, the Git commit log has tracked every change to the engine, including:
- Projectile Weapons (Plasma Pup and enemy shotgun)
- Game maps as title screen backgrounds
- Continuous particle emitters (smoke barrels and rain)
- Improvements to UI, enemy AI, and bug fixes

Your career as a security researcher ended abruptly when Big State moved onto the island. With no job and no way out, your path is to rain glorious comeuppance with firearms, explosives, and a little cyber-infiltration.
Get aggro in wide-open areas swarming with enemies, or break into living quarters and workplaces to give your victims a fun surprise. Blow your ammo and switch to classic melee weapons, and when that fails, use your cyber skills to pull off feats on the edge of human comprehension.
Dive into a world full of conspiracies and corruption. Discover nonsensical architecture and impossible pieces of engineering. Read deranged writings in text files and on walls. The island is isolated in a world much like our own, but crazier, filthier, and more broken.
The engine is built from the ground up to be reverse-engineered and modded. Is a mission too hard? You can tweak it. Does that parking lot look a little plain? You can add new assets in a reasonable amount of time.
