## Premise spitballing

## Final Premise
### Setting
- Cyberpunk-esque
- Dystopian future
- Fight club in the future

### Vague Plot Outline

The player has a dystopian 1984-esque, job, you start to 'think different', you get kicked out of your house, you discover something hidden/evil, you get kicked down to 'the gulag'. As you progress, you get better and better. Ending should be brutal/bittersweet.

The player gets knocked down to the "under city", the older city that's been built over. The first layers are a combination of older/garbage tech, scrapped together from trash and leftovers. As you get higher, the tech/quality improves.

#### Opposition
Corrupt Government/gangs/corrupted system and status quo

Fallout 4-esque bad guys. multiple orgs that exist because of the world, not one evil entity

### Progression
Not levels, arenas, sort of. Very large arena. Complete fighting to progress to next arena.


# Aesthetic
## Prior Discussion> Iso<br>
   3d in a fixed iso-ish camera<br>
   The artstyle would be pretty much Cloudpunk/Transistor with our own twists<br>

> Since we're doing a futuristic dystopian thing with skyscrapers above clouds and murky grey
I thought, man, wouldn't it be cool if this was kinda like bladerunner with necromunda tones<br>
To where, at a certain point in the game, you're dropped to the pre-city, which is old as balls
And people still live there and use a bunch of garbage old world

1. Transistor
2. Cloudpunk

General discussion about modularity, weapons should have a small amount of modules, with a large number of combinations
[Source](https://discord.com/channels/749314018837135390/1063050222617509988/1121064670263001100)

## Weapons
- Modular weapons
- Upgrade/module station that you visit to change certain parts
- Changes like attaching a scope to your gun, or a silencer could be done on the fly
- Weapon scripting system? (every third shot, use modifier). Could also script tagalong buddy. *Should be flushed out later*

### Weapon tiers
- Top level modifiers (silencer, scope)
- Modules (modify gun characteristics)
- Base (weapon that you find)

## Armor
- Shield generation
- Maybe attack/defense modules

# Modding
wasm?
whatever, we can look at this later
