ByteRockers' Games shares the development story behind Net.Attack(), a node-based coding roguelite inspired by Vampire Survivors. A team of five built the game around a modular block system where players connect nodes to create custom attacks. Key insights include their deliberate choice to prioritize player creativity over strict balancing, their use of a database tool to manage 190+ nodes, GPU offloading for performance, and a community-first approach featuring early demos, Discord, and daily challenges. The team also embedded hidden 'hacking' easter eggs to drive community engagement.

It’s also $5 USD, what a steal in this economy!

Bit of a clickbait in my opinion. As far as I can see from the trailer, there is no “real” coding to be done from the player. It seems you just connect some nodes to create your build.

I have done some serious googling in the past to find something like this and turned out empty handed. Here it is!
