# Laniakea: The first stage

As Laniakea's development enters its first phase, it's time to decide what we will do about it.
After I (eir) consulted with the director of the game at my day job, I have decided to follow his advice, here's the plan:

## No vertical slice
A vertical slice is overly complicated, and would require art, ui, etc to do properly.

## Gameplay first
We need to have gameplay working first, this means the basic locomotion and combat system.

We will need to implement:

- Locomotion
- AI for the enemies
- Weapon management
- Cargo management like death stranding
- Milk's attachment to the backpack and her basic abilities
- A terrible test map

## Where to go afterwards

After this basic gameplay prototype is done, we may start looking for investors/artists/etc.
