# Mostly made by apes (mmba games)

> Mostly made by apes (mmba) is the one-person indie game studio of Maurice, a professional software developer from Germany. The site is the home and development blog of Exoroids, a real-time tactical space combat game.

## Exoroids

Exoroids is a real-time tactical space combat game that is very loosely based on the classic arcade game Asteroids' game mechanics, but with modern gameplay:

- Physics-based, top-down space combat
- Many intelligent enemy types with their own tactics and behavior
- Local co-op for up to 4 players
- Perks and weapon upgrades
- Partially randomized gameplay with a simple story line
- Development status: The game is currently WIP and an advanced prototype / alpha with an early build on itch.io

Transparency on AI usage: game design, story, code architecture, 3D models (Blender) and most graphics are handmade. AI is used for enemy and cutscene speech samples, placeholder character portraits and basic code assistance. Details: https://mmba.games/about_ai.html
