Project Poop.

A very serious production about a very unserious subject. This page is the front door to the game's development home — everything the team needs to get in, build, and ship, in one place.

The game

The pitch is still under wraps — let's just say it stinks in the best possible way. Art and concept by Matt Viola of Federal Gaming; the full description lands here the moment he's ready to share it.

What this is

A brand-new game for Federal Gaming, built in the Godot engine. It plays on the web first — right here at poop.federalgaming.org — and because it's Godot, the same project can travel to other platforms later without starting over. Development happens in a dedicated, self-contained account on the Federal Gaming server, set up so the game can be built and published without ever disturbing anything else.

Where things live

One account, one home directory — /home/poopdev. Everything for this game lives inside it:

`game/`

The Godot project itself — scenes, code, and the game as it grows.

`assets/`

The art drop-off. Original artwork and source files live here before they go into the game.

`builds/`

Finished exports and releases, kept in one tidy pile.

`www/`

The live website. Whatever is in this folder is what this address serves — including the playable web build.

`tools/`

The Godot engine (headless, version 4.7.2) — installed inside the account, ready to build.

`HANDOFF.md`

The full brief for whoever is building: setup, workflow, and the house rules, in one file inside the account.

How building works

Sign in to the poopdev account with the access key (see below). No password — the key is the whole handshake.
Build right there. Godot is already installed in the account and can export the game headlessly — building inside the account is not just allowed, it's the plan.
Export the web build into www/. The moment the files land, this site is updated. No deploy step, no ceremony.
Play it at poop.federalgaming.org, exactly as the world will see it.

Getting access

Access is granted personally by Matt, with a private setup link. The link opens a short page with a single copy-and-paste command: run it once, and your computer holds the key and a ready-made ssh poop shortcut. If Matt sent you that link, start there. If he hasn't, ask him — he's the only door.

Open the access setup page

Already set up? Just run ssh poop.

The one rule

This account is the whole sandbox. Everything outside /home/poopdev belongs to other Federal Gaming services — the main website, the arcade leaderboard, the game cabinets, all of it. Don't touch any of it: don't modify it, don't restart it, don't go exploring in it. If something seems to require reaching outside this account, stop and ask Matt.
