Supported platforms · Getting started · Development plan

Attention: This game is currently not in development 🚧

Maybe it will turn into a "Rust 2D Rendering Proof of Concept (PoC)", as my interests have shifted a bit in the last months and the implemented technical part was the most exciting. We will see!
