the concept looks good, i hope they improve the art direction, the current assets looks terrible for some parts of the game (like the repeated tileset on the floor, too much detail and repeated detail)

i dont like to judge an book by its cover and an game by its graphics, but this looks poor.
by the graphics, looks like they will open source because they dont see any value in their product and expect the comunity to work for then, instead of doing an real contribution to get something in return later on.

"Customizable playstyle based on which items player obtains and equips"
ok, i didnt like that part, this is an recipe for disaster.

its over ambitious and an bad game designing sign, not that it can't be done, but the cost of doing it is to high unless they are counting on the variable "luck" wich isnt an good variable to begin with.

its like the tend of poorly designed procedural games instead of an curated experience.
