# 🛠️ Devlog #1 — First Steps Into the Void

**Hey itch.io community!**

This is the very first devlog for my Space Hunter Project, and I’m thrilled to share what’s already working, what’s in development, and where this space adventure is headed!

---

## 🚀 About the Project

You’ll be launched into a **procedurally generated galaxy** full of **unique events**, where you’ll need to **shoot, dodge, mine, and survive**.

As you go deeper, you’ll discover **powerful relics**, face **challenging enemies**, and mine **resource-rich asteroids**.  

The goal? Explore as far as you can, face tougher enemies, and upgrade your ship with rarer and more powerful parts.

## ✅ What’s Already Implemented

- **Modular spaceship system** — Build your ship from interchangeable parts with nearly infinite combinations  

- **Randomized item crafting** — Resources turn into unique and unpredictable gear  

- **Procedural enemies** — No run plays the same  

- **Procedurally generated space and backgrounds** — Each area feels new  

- **Random encounters**, including:  

  - Elite enemies  

  - Asteroid fields  

  - Hostile sectors  

  - Extraction zones

## 🔜 What’s Coming Next

- **Boss fights**  

- **More variety in ship parts**  

- **Expanded random events**  

- **Mission system with objectives**  

- **Improved UI design**  

- **Smarter enemy AI**  

- **Storylines and world-based dialogues**  

- **Component-based crafting system** (not just ingots!)

And of course... a *huge* list of other ideas I can't wait to bring into the game as time allows 😄

## 🧪 Current State

The game is still in its **early stages**, but I’m excited about the direction it's taking.  

My focus is on creating a world that’s reactive, unpredictable, and rewarding to explore.

## 📅 Next Update

A small update is coming **by Friday**, including a **basic settings/preferences menu** and some polish to get things rolling.
