Clockwork Astra

[NASA SpaceApps Project]

We developed an exploration game in which the player searches for a way home for 5 days and saves energy and survives traveling through space. The player must think about every action so as not to lose the energy he has in reserve. The game is created in a pixel style and with the soundtracks, which allows you to immerse yourself in it and conveys the entire aesthetics of traveling in space. 

Project Details

The game allows the player to move around the rooms of the ship and control it to return home to Earth. We hope to achieve a game that will appeal to people of all ages and will help people to escape from boring routine activities, immerse themselves in an interesting game with a beautiful interface and many things to do on the ship (moving around the rooms, interacting with them, eating, sleeping and saving energy), all this together with the music creates a little tension and keeps the player interested in the game.

For writing the code- Godot Engine, we used a programming language- GDScript; Pixel Studios- to draw all the elements and the interface of the game in a pixel style; Power Point- to create a presentation that will convey the meaning and main idea of the game; for sound design- BandLab

Use of Artificial Intelligence

Space Agency Data

NASA technology inspired us to create a spaceship. Information provided on the NASA website about stars and the Milky Way, as well as about space travel, inspired us to create a game in which the player explores space and searches for a way home. Articles about human life in space inspired us to create rooms and interact with the environment in space and on the ship. The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) that are responsible for the research, development and implementation of technology in space, inspired us to use technologies in spaceship and we created multi-room interactions.
