High-Level Project Summary
This project is an interactive story about how certain situations are overcome in a medium-long duration space trip, how the trip alters the lives of the crew and shows what factors have to be taken into account when you are in a hostile environment in the that you cannot receive direct assistance from home, managing resources and maintaining all activities with the crew on board.

Detailed Project Description
The project teaches in a simple way to understand the situations that can happen in a medium-long duration space trip to teach young people the cases that will be presented to astronauts and how to overcome these situations.
It does this through a game with an interactive story to visual novel mode, in which you need to perform actions to maintain in conditions to the crew and the ship.
- The benefits that this presents is bringing people less knowledgeable on the subject what is experienced in these situations.
- That young people are interested in the space exploration of a entertaining and friendly way with them.
- The tools used to carry out this project were the three-dimensional models that NASA grants for the realization of the stages.
- The programming language used was Python.
- The hardware used was personal computers.
- The software used for the development was Ren'Py, which is an engine for the creation of free videogames that allows the creation of visual novels. Another software used was Blender, a modeling program and creation of three-dimensional graphics that was used for the creation of the scenarios.
Space Agency Data
We use articles and research from NASA to create the environment that is presented in the game, giving us ideas to use.
These data were on microgravity, muscle degeneration that occurs in an environment with little gravity, the effects on mental health due to a long stay in space, among other topics.
Hackathon Journey
We learned about what has to be done in order to develop an idea and carry it out. What inspired us to join this project is the desire to learn and teach others about space.
The setbacks when carrying out this project were the limited time we have, the fact that we cannot develop everything in the same place due to the current situation we live in all over the world, how to translate ideas, classes, among others. stuff. But with dedication we were able to surpass them.
