🔫 Rune Descent - Build Your Own Classic-Style FPS Rune Descent is a complete, classic-style first-person shooter developed as a full Unity project for Android. Inspired by the retro FPS experience, it combines fast-paced combat, challenging monsters, multiple weapons, interactive environments, and a structured single-player campaign. The project includes 40 single-player levels, 8 weapons, 15 monster types, and 2 bosses. Players explore interconnected environments, unlock doors, activate mechanisms, discover secrets, collect power-ups, and battle enemies across a series of challenging stages. Built with Unity 2022.3 LTS, Rune Descent includes readable, commented C# source code, custom shaders, runtime model and sprite loaders, data-driven level files, and tools for importing content and building Android releases. The project is designed for developers who want to customize an existing FPS rather than build every system from scratch. You can modify weapons, monsters, levels, touch controls, graphics, sounds, and other gameplay elements to create your own mobile shooter. Unlike templates that include preconfigured advertising systems, Rune Descent comes with no advertising SDK, no analytics, and no INTERNET permission. This provides a clean starting point for developers who want to integrate their own monetization or keep the game entirely offline. 🔫 Complete First-Person Shooter Gameplay Rune Descent delivers a complete single-player FPS experience with classic combat mechanics, multiple weapon types, enemy AI, and an extensive collection of interactive level elements.

Levels use standard .map files compatible with TrenchBroom. The included Unity Editor pipeline imports map data into Unity scenes, including geometry, colliders, vertex lighting, and entities. This makes it possible to add your own levels without manually constructing every environment inside the Unity Editor. Level Workflow 1. Prepare or modify a .map file. 2. Import textures and materials. 3. Import brush models. 4. Import the desired maps into Unity. 5. Open the generated scene and test the level. 6. Build and test the Android version. The project also provides Editor menu commands and command-line entry points for the import and build workflow. 💻 Readable C# Source Code Rune Descent includes approximately 300 KB of commented C# code, organized into one assembly with one class per file. Important gameplay data is maintained in plain C# definition tables, including: - WeaponDefs.cs - MonsterDefs.cs These definitions allow developers to adjust weapon and monster parameters without rebuilding the entire gameplay system. 🎨 Custom Shaders & Runtime Asset Loaders The project includes custom shaders and runtime loading systems for different types of game content. Included Technical Systems - World shaders - Model shaders - Liquid shaders - Sky shaders - Sprite shaders - Particle shaders - Runtime .mdl loaders - Runtime .spr loaders - Palette-based rendering These systems form part of the project's retro-style rendering and content pipeline. 🧪 Automated Playtesting Support Rune Descent includes a headless playtest bot for automated smoke testing. This provides an additional tool for checking gameplay and identifying basic issues during development. The project also includes Editor and command-line entry points for importing assets, importing maps, and building Android packages. 💰 Clean Monetization Foundation Rune Descent does not include an advertising SDK or analytics integration, and it does not request the Android INTERNET permission. This makes the project a useful starting point for developers who want to decide independently how their game should be monetized. You can follow the included customization documentation to explore adding advertising, in-app purchases, or other features. Any additional SDKs and permissions must be configured and tested as part of your own project. 📚 Documentation Included The project includes documentation to help developers understand, build, and customize the game. - README.md: Overview, quick start, project layout, and instructions for reaching a running level. - docs/BUILDING.md: Editor builds, command-line builds, Google Play releases, testing, and troubleshooting. - docs/CUSTOMIZING.md: Renaming and rebranding, adding levels, tuning weapons and monsters, touch layout changes, monetization integration, and content replacement. - THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md: Licensing information for included content. 📜 Content Licensing Information The supplied project description states that the textures, models, sounds, and level designs are sourced from the open-source LibreQuake content project under the BSD 3-Clause license, with the relevant notice included.
