Cineris Veil - Native Android FPS Template

Cineris Veil is a complete native Android FPS and roguelite game template developed with Kotlin and Android Studio. The package includes the full editable source code, gameplay systems, original visual and audio assets, localization, documentation, and tools designed to make customization and rebranding easier. It does not require Unity, Godot or Unreal Engine. The project opens directly in Android Studio and is designed specifically for mobile Android gameplay.

Core Gameplay

Cineris Veil uses a distinctive resource system where Lumen acts as health, ammunition and visibility simultaneously. Firing consumes Lumen, enemy attacks drain it, and defeated enemies can drop temporary embers that restore light. This creates a risk-versus-reward gameplay loop in which the player must constantly choose between attacking and conserving resources.

Native Mobile FPS Controls

The template includes mobile-first controls designed specifically for touchscreens:

• Virtual movement joystick
• Full right-side touch camera control
• Hold-to-fire input
• Optional gyroscope aiming
• Adjustable sensitivity
• Look acceleration
• Configurable deadzone
• Invert Y option
• Optional auto-sprint
• Large touch-friendly ability controls

Enemy AI

Multiple enemy archetypes are included:

• Tracker
• Charger
• Spitter
• Light-draining Nullifier
• Echo ranged enemy
• Multi-phase Hollow Choir boss

Enemies include distinct behaviors, navigation, attack telegraphs and tactical roles.

Story Mode

The included Story mode features:

• Progressive wave-based gameplay
• Multiple cathedral sectors
• Increasing enemy combinations
