+# PolySlinger
+*Build a life-size tower with giant tetriminos in VR*
+
+### About
+
+This is the official repository for Polyslinger, a VR game about stacking 3D pieces like tetriminos inside a game area. The pieces are very large and are handled by tractor beams attached to each hand.
+
+### Motivation
+
+Me, Brrainz, invented Harmony 5 years ago to make my first [RimWorld](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RimWorld) mod and since then Harmony is used in countless Unity mods either by a community adding it or by the game developers adding it officially (like in [Oxygen Not Included](https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/130712-oni-is-upgrading-to-harmony-20/)). I have a large community of my own and it is time to start the next endeavor: my own game. Being me, this only can be a fully public and with full, first class mod support. 
+
+Originally, the plan was to release Polyslinger commercially on Steam but I think putting it up there for free and adding support for custom mods is the *right thing to do*. Hopefully this will attract other programmers and designers that want to skip the initial learning curve and are not in the position to put a game on steam (costs money etc).
+
+### Concept
+
+Polyslinger is:
+- forever free
+- public source code
+- community driven (guided by the creator to keep it going)
+- built by the inventor of [Harmony](https://github.com/pardeike/Harmony)
+- first class support for modding
+- first class support for custom content loading
+
+### Design
+
+The project as it is now is a working but basic VR game. It is a one man project from the start but instead of focusing on struggling with content and introducing attractive extra features, easy modding will hopefully help to make this scale.
+
+### Basics
+
+Points are awared by completing and collapsing a full layer of pieces and by handling pieces fast and with the least amount of contact points. There are different levels of increasing time constraints and several settings as well a few environments to choose from.
+
+### Roadmap
+
+- make all methods, fields and elements public
+- restructure methods for clarity and easier modding
+- generalizing the hard coded parts
+- adding a mod loading mechanism
+- adding a modding UX
+- adding a way to load assets from mods
+- designing a hello world mod project for getting started fast
+- documenting the games basic structure
+
+Lot's to do!
