Boomer shooter template
Run, shoot, find a key, open the door that key was obviously for. Dusk (David Szymanski, 2018) and Ultrakill (Hakita, 2020) are key, door, shotgun, and a level that expects you to circle back. Amid Evil (Indefatigable, 2019) is the same shape in a stranger palette. A corridor with no return is a tour. The AI FPS maker and make an FPS with AI are the gun. The key is what makes this one a level.

What makes a boomer shooter
Boomer shooter: shooters in the style of the 1990s: speed, keys and secrets.
The games that set the standard are Dusk (David Szymanski, 2018), Ultrakill (Hakita, 2020) and Amid Evil (Indefatigable, 2019).
What the template starts with
The boomer shooter template starts with one level, one key, one door and a shotgun. That is the smallest version of the loop that defines the genre: run, gun, find the key, open the door.
What to change first
Lock a door the player can see, put the key where they have already been, and make them cross a fight to get back. If they never revisit a room, the key was a pause.
2D or 3D
The boomer shooter template starts in 3D.
