I Want To Heal — Thor healer roguelike

Playable low-poly third-person combat vertical slice for AYN Thor's dual displays.

Offline-first frontend includes three timestamped save slots, TrueNAS accounts and cloud saves, Hunter Profile statistics, boss and roguelike leaderboards, boss collection logs, Settings, and PvE/PvP mode entry points. Offline saves remain playable without an account and can be uploaded after sign-in.

Run

pnpm install
pnpm dev:api
# In a second terminal:
pnpm dev

The Vite development server listens on 0.0.0.0:4173 and proxies /api to the local production/API server on 127.0.0.1:4174. Both processes use the same client API contract as TrueNAS.

Android / AYN Thor test APK

The Android host uses Capacitor, locks to landscape, requests immersive mode and 60 Hz, and sends controller input directly to the game WebView. Build an installable debug APK:

pnpm android:apk

Build explicitly against the TrueNAS API with pnpm android:apk:truenas. Native builds also default to https://iwanttoheal.phenomrom.com when no API base override is supplied.

Output is written under android/app/build/outputs/apk/debug/. With Android platform tools and a connected Thor, build and install it with:

pnpm android:install

The first Android milestone uses the complete single-display fallback. Press Select (or Tab with a keyboard) to switch between the main game surface and the 620 × 540 tactical surface. Native routing to both physical Thor displays is the next milestone; it needs two Android display contexts backed by one shared game state rather than two independent WebViews.

TrueNAS deployment

Complete first-install, local-Gitea clone, YAML, update, and verification steps: DEPLOYMENT.md.

The live TrueNAS web server uses the existing deployment address and port:

Public URL: https://iwanttoheal.phenomrom.com
Host/container port: 4173
App directory: /mnt/usbssds/apps/iwanttoheal-mmo/app

Server architecture

TrueNAS is the online production game server. Its Node process serves the browser application and authenticated /api routes on port 4173; the reverse proxy exposes both at the public URL above. SQLite data persists at /app/data/game.db through the separate TrueNAS data mount.

The server owns account credentials, 30-day sessions, three cloud-save slots per account, boss-kill rankings, and roguelike highest-round rankings. Passwords use scrypt with per-account salts; clients store only opaque session tokens. Local saves remain available for offline play. Gitea is a separate TrueNAS service used for source hosting and deployment.

Clone from the TrueNAS-local Gitea bare repository into the app directory, then deploy compose.yaml. The expected source path is:

/mnt/.ix-apps/app_mounts/gitea/data/git/repositories/phenom/i-want-to-heal-mmo.git

Current configuration:

use corepack pnpm install --frozen-lockfile, not npm ci;
run pnpm db:init before starting the production server;
mount /mnt/usbssds/apps/iwanttoheal-mmo/data at /app/data;
keep CORS_ORIGINS configured for the public site and Capacitor host;
keep the source checkout and persistent data in separate mounts.

The existing reverse proxy forwards the public hostname to port 4173, including all /api routes.

Publish updates to Gitea

The repository target is:

https://git.whoagland.com/phenom/i-want-to-heal-mmo.git

The Mac publisher is configured with the Gitea release token. GITEA_TOKEN can optionally override it for one run. Publish from main:

pnpm publish:gitea -- --message "Describe the update"

The script installs locked dependencies, builds the web app, runs web and Android checks, builds a debug APK, commits all project changes, pushes main, creates a version tag and Gitea prerelease, and uploads the APK plus its SHA-256 file. It uses package.json version unless that version is already tagged, then advances the patch number. Pass --version 0.2.0 to choose an explicit version.

If the publisher runs where TrueNAS paths are visible, it prefers a fast-forward-only pull directly from TrueNAS-local Gitea storage. Otherwise it prints the exact local clone/pull commands to run in the TrueNAS shell. The pull refuses to run when the checkout still points at the old game's repository; archive that checkout and clone the new repository first.

Preview checks without changing Git or TrueNAS:

pnpm publish:gitea -- --dry-run

Git push credentials still come from Git's credential manager. The configured Gitea token handles release creation and APK uploads. Android signing keys remain outside the repository.

Controls

WASD / left stick: move
Q and E / D-pad: cycle party target
1–6: cast Smite, Renew, Shield, Purify, Radiance, Flash Heal
Gamepad: X, Y, B, A, LB, RB map to those abilities
M: tactical map
I: inventory and item tooltip
Enter / Start: begin or reset encounter

Touch controls on lower display support party targeting, ability casting, map, and inventory.

Current game scope

Five-member AI party with Disc Priest healer
Animated Druid healer, Knight tank, Ranger, Rogue, and Mage party models
Animated bosses using canonical tracked game models
Telegraph, charge, 0.75-second knockdown, and return-to-tank behavior
Three-charge cycle into a five-second stack marker and 300-damage shared pounce
Tank pressure, party-wide Cinder Nova, dispellable Ember Brand
Full cooldown, mana, healing-over-time, shield absorption, and victory/defeat simulation
True display ratios: 1920×1080 top and 1240×1080 bottom
Android layout targets: approximately 960×540 CSS pixels top and 620×540 CSS pixels bottom
Lower-screen typography scales against its own container, never the main page viewport

Current Android build is an installable single-display test host. Shipping to both physical Thor displays still needs distinct Android display contexts that project one authoritative game state.
