Story
With the hope of supporting mankind’s exploration of the wider universe, a series of lunar missions which transform the lunar environment through building various settlements had been launched.
Game Design
-Adjusted narrative, game flow, and game mechanics based on feedback from 1/4 walkaround.
UI
This week, the UI was adjusted according to the gameplay. Previously, users were allowed to customize their rover, but now this feature has been changed. Therefore, the game start interface only displays the characteristics of each level of the rover.
