Gatebound

Core Concept

A dual-role ecosystem: the streamer orchestrates macro strategy (village growth, tech, defenses) while viewers incarnate hunters tackling gates, dungeons and emergent threats. The tension: expanding civilization versus escalating dimensional instability.

Current Focus

• World generation & chunk streaming optimization
• Vegetation batching & render cost reductions
• Player / hunter AI behavior loop iteration

Upcoming Feature Tracks

• Building placement & structural progression
• Gate spawning cadence & threat scaling
• Dungeon layout procedural generation
• Economy balancing & resource sinks
• Platform chat integrations (Twitch, Kick, YouTube, Facebook)
• External web portal & telemetry surfacing

High-Level Roadmap

• Phase 1
  Core world tech, AI loops, rendering perf passes.
• Phase 2
  Gate spawning logic, dungeon generator, economy scaffolding.
• Phase 3
  Cross-platform integration layer & UI interoperability.
• Phase 4
  Balance iteration & closed playtesting.
• Phase 5
  Public reveal materials & broader community onboarding.
