With the desire to learn the GO programming language or (GOLang). It is the language of choice for this project. The plan is to use the [Pixel Game Library](https://github.com/faiface/pixel) which supports the features we need.

# Artwork

Image assets for character and scenery can be outsourced to the online developer community or done by us (which won't look pretty). This can be done using pixel or vector artwork.

# Game World Art Style

The overall look and feel will target a dark themed medieval style.
