RIFT OF RECEIPTS · VOLUME 18
CAPITOL CRAWL
A painted, side-scrolling action roguelite built for this cast. All 39 champions carry their own signature abilities into seven regions. The route changes with each expedition; equipment, skill points, coins, and consumables belong to that run. Bunker marks and purchased bunker upgrades persist.
Seven guardians. One way home.
| Region | Guardian |
|---|---|
| Capitol Hill | The Filibuster |
| Drain the Swamp | The Deep State |
| Filibuster Forest | Senator Neverend |
| Red Tape Foundry | The Rubber Stamp |
| Poll Position Peaks | The Poll Troll |
| Echo Chamber City | The Feedback Loop |
| The Algorithm Citadel | The Algorithm |
Artwork and animation
Eight scene paintings, animated vendors, six enemy types, and seven boss sheets were created for this update. The expanded cast has authored attack preparation, contact, and recovery poses. Energy effects include beam charges, orbiting cards, frost buildup, sonic rings, ground eruptions, and martial focus. Crouching uses a fixed anatomical scale.
Generated originals, prompts, animation manifests, and processing notes are included with the assets. Character portrayals are fictional game caricatures; no endorsement is implied. This game uses original scenery and interfaces, with no MapleStory artwork, characters, music, or proprietary source code.
Open-source design references
The route generator was informed by the layered nodes and connected paths in silverua's Slay the Spire map generator, including its MapGenerator.cs. The RogueIO JavaScript roguelike engine was reviewed for its modular asset, animation, event, and persistence structure. Both repositories publish an MIT license.
The new route, inventory, vendors, skill tree, persistence, and enemy systems are original JavaScript implementations. Neither reference library is bundled or required. Shared combat foundations retain their existing attributions on the combat credits page.
