Hackathon Journey
This was our first experience, we learned to work in a team, to distribute the time and responsibilities of each participant, delved into the problems of space and ways to solve them. Inspired by games such as Among Us, Starbound, Subnautica and Alien Isolation. We decided to try ourselves as game developers. We allocated the time and responsibilities of each participant to complete a particular task. We solved problems together and each offered their own solutions. We would like to thank the organizers for the opportunity to take part in the NASA SPACE APPS CHALLENGE and the mentors for their support and helpful advice in the development of our game.
