This week, we visited our client, Mike Hennessy, at the Moonshot Museum. The Moonshot Museum shares the same location as Astrobotic Technology, which is developing the Griffin Lander for landing VIPER on the Moon.
“Moonshot Museum is Pennsylvania’s first space museum and a unique living lab where you can get closer to the work of space than almost anywhere else on the planet. Through a partnership with Pittsburgh-based Astrobotic, an innovative space robotics company, visitors can peek behind the scenes to witness spacecraft being built through floor-to-ceiling windows.”
The Griffin Lander, built by Astrobotic, will carry and land VIPER on the moon. We can see the Griffin under construction through the window.
This is the place where we will showcase our game. It is a small theater that offers ample space for players to use VR headsets, along with a large screen capable of displaying the VR experience for everyone to see.

Research & Brainstorming
We get inspired by the Griffin and VIPER during the visit, and brainstormed three different ideas.
Art Reference Research
We mad some research on different art style and environment.
Programming
We decided to use Unity as the development tool and use Git for vision control.
