2d Roguelike Combat Core
Give your roguelike hero teeth. Build the component-based combat core: a reusable HealthComponent, the Hurtbox/Hitbox pipeline on clean collision layers, a weapon state machine that swings from the WeaponPivot you built, damage numbers and hit flash, a weighty heavy attack, and a dodge that actually dodges.

2D Roguelike: Enemies & AI
Quest 3 of 7 in the 2D Roguelike campaign.
Fill the room with things that fight back. Build an EnemyBase state machine every enemy inherits, running chase, telegraph, attack and recover. Then build four archetypes on top of it: a Grunt, a fast fragile Skitterling, a charging bruiser, and a boss with telegraphed patterns and enrage. Finish with a small arena fight. All of it reuses the Health, Hurtbox and Hitbox pipeline from Combat Core.
