Heya @Nick and welcome

We definitely need the gameplay work! Engine is in decent shape by now. Check out the bite-sized issues on GitHub and if you manage 4 PRs for the rest of October you can get a free shirt from DigitalOcean for Hacktoberfest as well.

Sounds like you've got the fundamentals down pretty well with that kind of background, but do let us know if you have any questions or encounter issues!

Welcome @Nick

We have some cool game play scenarios - in theory. You might want to have a look at Light and Shadow or the Metal Renegades. They could both use some revives! Throughout the Ages and Josharias Survival provide a more "realistic" type of gameplay, and Florian's Gooey's Quest brings our little mascot to life!

Of course you are free to work on whatever you want. Get some inspiration, see where you can help, and let us know if you have any questions
