Development Roadmap

IDApTIK evolves in structured phases, ensuring mechanics are tested, refined, and stress-tested before moving forward.

Envelope (v0.1) – Minimum Viable Game

This revision aims to produce the first playable version of Gitpoint (potentially with a new name) as a TypeScript platformer, establishing the foundation of its gameplay loop and asymmetric mechanics.

Goals for Envelope (v0.1)

✅ Core platforming mechanics – Movement, jumping, crawling, object interaction.
✅ Basic hacker-player interactions – Opening doors, timing elevators, activating security overrides.
✅ Game documentation in wiki pages – Clarifying mechanics, controls, and gameplay flow.
✅ First set of sprite artwork – Enough to convey essential mechanics visually.
✅ Devlog for Envelope (v0.1) – Tracking progress and setting up next steps for Wheel.

Upcoming Development Phases

Wheel – Refining Core Movement & Interaction

• Improving stealth responsiveness, collision handling, and precision controls.
• Expanding hacker capabilities: security loop manipulation, timed overrides, sabotage elements.
• Early AI behaviors for environmental hazards and dynamic detection.

Skateboard – Deepening Asymmetric Multiplayer

• Larger level structures with multi-phase infiltration objectives.
• Developing more hacker-based control systems, moving beyond static activation toggles.
• Refining communication elements between infiltrator and hacker.

Bicycle – Expanding Strategic Depth

• Adding AI-led countermeasures that react dynamically to player interference.
• Implementing level designs that encourage problem-solving through cooperation.

Chassis – Strengthening Interactive Complexity

• Improved environmental mechanics: terrain effects, sound sensitivity, player misdirection tools.
• Testing first non-linear infiltration missions, encouraging multiple paths of entry.

Motorcycle – The Full Experience

• Expanding sabotage mechanics—rogue hacker interference and adaptable security AI.
• Perfecting emergent gameplay interactions that create tension dynamically.
• Final multiplayer framework for high-stakes asymmetric infiltration.

Computer Game – Beyond Proof of Concept

• Once the core experience is complete, transitioning into polished, expanded iterations.
• Strengthening gameplay adaptability based on contributor feedback and structured testing.
