Perfect for you if:
- You built the roguelike systems and want the finishing layer that makes them feel done
- You want menus, sound, and the death screen that make it feel real
- You want the autoload order and full game loop verified end to end
- You want each step to leave a project that runs with zero errors
Not for you if:
- You have not built the earlier roguelike courses (menus wire into that game)
- You have never opened Godot (start with the Controller or Godot for Programmers)
- You only want finished code to copy without building it
- You want deep audio DSP or a full options/settings framework (this is the game-finishing layer)

Action Roguelike Capstone: The Final Project
Quest 11 of 11 in 3D Roguelike.
Take every system you've built across the campaign (player controller, stats and leveling, inventory, combat, enemy AI, dialogue and quests, save/load, the procedural dungeon and run loop, the HUD, and menus) and wire them into one complete, shippable 3D action roguelike. The final assembly: boot the main menu, dive the dungeon, fight, descend, rest, die, save, and quit.

State Machine AI for 3D Enemies
