Summary
Our goal is to use a game as a tool to encourage curiosity and teaching about the importance and operation of a satellite mission. We have developed a game that will be exciting and competitive as to assure player interest and that will be complex enough to provide several hours of gameplay, but not too complex as to inhibit playability or make it hard. the game will have the basic understanding of the operation of satellites and real scientific data generated by them, as a core mechanic, encouraging the learning of the player in a fun and exciting environment. It will use real data from nasa, making the game more interesting and fascinating and providing a reliable source for knowledge.
How We Addressed This Challenge
The project works on the problem from virtual games, using them to implement the idea about the importance of satellites in people's daily lives. The concept is introduced in an indirect and fun way, in which players, to play, must learn the basics about their respective satellite to play, and also with the adhesion of the multiplayer mode, the one with the most knowledge about the chosen satellite will be the winner. Thus making it more common to think that satellites are present in everything that is done by the human hand.
How We Developed This Project
For the development to be complete, we conducted a survey of 100 people to analyze their interest in the space sector and which game genres most attracted them. After completing the research, we used data from the missions released by NASA and constituted our information base. In addition, we seek to analyze space games with a big name in the market and see what differential they offered, because we found that the market in the area had a significant growth in the last 3 years.
How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project
We built a simple idea with the data made available by NASA, such as satellite photos, heroes who gave their lives for the space ascension, space missions already done, in progress and completed; where the player will learn the basics about each hero and their contribution in
life, each satellite on a progressive scale, because the satellites will be launched in stages, to fulfill its mission, so we will present several models so that each function, however simple it may be, can have a presence for the players.
