THE CHALLENGE: Space Route 66
Journey to Mars

Develop a game or virtual reality experience that allows users to build and explore a futuristic spaceport. Potential utilizations that could be incorporated:

  • Horizontal and vertical launch and landing
  • Suborbital and orbital tourist facilities (hotels, crew training experiences, exploration theme park attractions)
  • On-site spacecraft manufacturing facilities
  • Processing facilities for space resources
Explanation

We approached this challenge through the medium of the hypertext novel. Heavily inspired by Colossal Cave Adventure, our reader is sent on a not-terribly-serious quest to build a sustainable Spaceport. Along the way they have to gather resources, build space for their growing population, etc. IF they get their four stats to five or above, they win. However, there are many ways to lose along the way, including death via bear.
