game 1 (Martian Multination) project description:

Gameplay:

Objectives: 

• Importance of space policy in space exploration
• How physics work on Mars 
• The environment of Mars
• the different landscapes on Mars
• how to survive Mars' environment
• Types of missions to Mars

What’s the player’s purpose:

• Prevent conflict 
• Collaborate to maximize benefits
• End the game with the 5 nations working in harmony

Game scenario:

Lvl1: there are 2 nations currently on mars in addition to yours, the fourth nation’s first expedition is on its way and will arrive in 3 days. There’s one problem, however, back on earth, the first and fourth nations are enemies. And now due to an honest mistake, nation 1 is mining in the area that was supposed to be the landing site for nation 4. Your mission as a player is to find a new suitable landing site for N4 and communicate your findings before the 3 days are over. Or else, the conflict will arise between the two nations.

Lvl2 (during night): 

An astronaut from N1 is working in a remote location that is near the fourth nation’s base when he lost track of time and now their life is endangered. N4 is not happy with N1 because of them invading their landing site. Your role as a player is to help the astronaut get shelter in N4 for the night. 

Lvl-2 (if the player doesn’t succeed in lvl1):  

A conflict will arise, some resources will be lost. Since N2 are in between the two bases, they aren’t happy about the war. They want to form an alliance with N5 to invade N4. your role as a player is to stop this alliance from forming.

Lvl3 (during dust storm):

A massive dust storm coming up, It’s like nothing you’ve seen before. No nation can survive it on its own. Your role as a player is to unify the 5 nations and gather your resources to survive the storm.

Lvl-3 (if the player doesn’t succeed in lvl1 or lvl2):

Each nation is working on its own, and everybody dies. 

Tools used to develop the game:

Unity engine

game 2 (It's Perfect But..) project Description:

Executive summary:

In this game, the player is dealt a 3 set of cards. The first two sets always have ideal conditions for space missions, whereas the last one contains a situation that would sabotage the mission. The player’s role here is to decide whether to proceed with the mission or not based on the cards they have. 

For each good decision, the player is rewarded 5 points.

For each bad decision, the player loses 3 points.

Game objectives:

• Educate players about types of space missions
• Educate players about how mission coordination works
• Enhance critical thinking and fast decision-making skills 

Gameplay:

It can be a solo or multiplayer game.

the opponent chooses a group of cards for the player and the player must decide within a time limit. a third player can play as a neutral party where they judge the players' decisions and give them/take away points accordingly

me scenario:

Depends on each card.

Future plans:

• Make it online or a mobile game
• Including Ar 
• Develop it into Vr

Martian Multination:

in this game, we utilized NASA's data about Mars in creating the environment and placing the nations on Mars. we also used NASA's challenge to 3D print martian habitats for inspiration in making the nations' colonies. Martian surface feature data is used features on the game’s map; atmospheric composition and pressure are used as a challenge for the player to re-pressurize a lost astronaut’s suit; soil composition is used as a challenge for the player to decide what 3D printing material would be used for shelters. Polar ice caps could potentially provide water. 

CEDA Archive data: air pressure, temperature, dust thickness, and wind speed data recorded by satellites over five years are used to simulate Martian surface conditions. Each grid point on the map is created using longitude and latitude data.

It's Perfect But..:

in this game, we utilized NASA's data and other space agencies' previous successful and unsuccessful missions to create the conditions and come up with missions. in addition, we used NASA's beautiful illustrations for the cards' design

The Space Apps experience was the most fun and challenging experience this team had in a while. The team learned many things including working together, compromising, as well as a ton of information about space! That was very exciting. All of us were adept to make something that was fun as well as educational, and the fact that we all loved video games it only made sense we picked the video game challenge. We started working on this project by meeting up as a team and sharing our ideas. No idea was a bad idea. Ideas started piling up and we managed to pick and choose at the end. As a team, we sat down together and tried to resolve any setbacks or challenges. We looked at the issue and tried to work our way around it. We did research and found where we went wrong and tried to fix it as well.
