Welcome

Ship Shit Games builds open studio tooling for making games faster without losing the weird, sharp edges that make the universe feel alive.

These docs explain how to use the packages, apps, and workflows in the studio repo: asset generation, research distillation, Warline, shared UI, shared engine code, desktop surfaces, game state, canon rules, and deployment.

Choose your path

Path	Use it for	Start
Studio tooling	Generate assets, distill research, build UI shells, wire shared packages	Products
Game state	Understand what lives in this repo vs. DEADROT and what each game is becoming	Games
Canon	Keep Scourge, Pyre, Warden, and Deadrot lore consistent across tools and prompts	Lore
Deployment	Route `shipshit.games`, `docs.shipshit.games`, and `deadrot.com` cleanly	Reference

Quick start


bun install
cd apps/docs
bun run dev

Use Bun. Prefer shared packages over local duplication. Keep gameplay loops imperative, use React for shells and overlays, and keep canon consistent with the sibling ../lore repo.
