Lawless

A roguelike first-person western built on a raycasting renderer.

You spawn into a corridor maze built from modular western tiles. Outlaws patrol it. They see you, they shoot. You see them first, you might not get shot. When you die, you start over from nothing.

What's in the pre-alpha

• First-person gunplay with revolver and double-barrel shotgun
• Basic enemy AI
• Handcrafted level with modular western tile geometry
• Health and ammo pickups

The direction

Procedurally assembled levels, endless runs, bounty hunts with named outlaws. That's where this is going. Right now it's the bones — the gunplay, the aesthetic, the feel of being in a western corridor with something that wants you dead.

The visual style is deliberately old-school. Raycasting walls, flat sprites, programmer-art textures. Same family of tricks as Wolfenstein 3D and the original Outlaws (LucasArts, 1997). Not trying to modernise it — trying to stay true to it.
