## Vision



[The initial vision](https://ozkriff.github.io/2017-08-17--devlog/index.html#zemeroth)

of the project is:



- Random-based skirmish-level digital tabletop game;

- Single player only;

- 3-6 fighters under player’s control;

- Small unscrollable maps;

- Relatively short game session (under an hour);

- Simple vector 2d graphics with just 3-5 sprites per unit;

- Reaction attacks and action’s interruption;

- Highly dynamic (lots of small unit moves as a side effect of other events);

- Intentionally stupid and predictable AI;
