This week the team is mainly working on halves presentation while simultaneously pushing the game to a playable version for demoing during halves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Game Flow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Background:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/strong>The player will be the commander of a starship. The mission is to collect as many rare metals and minerals around the Earth as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fuel on the vessel is limited, so players must observe and optimize their strategy to minimize fuel costs and maximize the collection of rare metals and minerals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.Starship(Player) set sail from the Earth<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Starship selects direction and fires a laser beam <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Adjustment: Fires from the center of the screen, direction into the screen. To encourage players to peak from different angles to identify the fire direction.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 3rd perspective -> 1st perspective<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Laser range related to remaining fuel(Can\u2019t go too far)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Avoid shooting dangerous asteroids<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    3. Fly through the firing trajectory to collect exposed metal and minerals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • An astronaut will flow around the starship<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Control astronaut movement to collect metal and minerals<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Avoid collision with dangerous pieces<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • Allow players to go back to Earth to:\n
          \n
        • Take new mission<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Or sell the material, and upgrade their starship\n
            \n
          • More fuel per shot(more freedom of movement)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • More combinations and variants of asteroids\n
              \n
            • Collect as different mission instructions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
