Howling Depths

2021.12.27 - Yanasakana - Sumiko

| Project Overview

Howling Depths is an upcoming Minecraft Add-On that twists the underground landscape into a horrifying new hell. Discover new, mysterious locations both above and below the ground in a constant fight for survival. Perform powerful rituals, or fight to stop those that do. Fight monsters, become stronger - fear caves again !

| Project Goals

• Implement many rare and obscure religious/mythological ideas and concepts and tie them together as to…
• Create and maintain a high-quality and consistent experience in all mediums, including but not limited to: artistic, gameplay, thematic, and - above all - unique.
• Remain maintained and expanded by both team and community members for as long as is (reasonably) possible.

| Contribution Guidelines

I. The project is to be namespaced "yanasakana:" universally.

• Entity, Block, and Item Events are to namespaced with the name of the object, followed by a camelCase event name.

II. Pull Requests may be made to the project GitHub, and are greatly encouraged, but all content is to be reviewed, edited, and revised by Yana personally.

III. All artistic elements are to be made in a style relatively in the style of Minecraft.

IV. All code should be neatly formatted and indented to a tab-size of 4.

• Folder structure is, similarly, to be neat and organised.

V. No code - under any circumstances, whatsoever - shall absolutely ever be obfuscated.

VI. When taking inspiration from other's projects, deviate as much as possible; this is in efforts to achieve a unique experience, and should be highly valued.
