PROJECT DESCRIPTION

This project plans to educate users about the Psyche asteroid through meaningful gameplay accessed via the web browser. This project is sponsored by the NASA Psyche mission and through them we will design a game that informs the consumer. This project proposes creating a web-based 2D game in Unity or Godot featuring a character traveling inside a simulated satellite toward an asteroid. The game will incorporate NASA-style assets and is intended to be both educational and interactive, reflecting details of the current mission. It must function across all Chromium-based browsers and integrate a technical stack that includes Godot scripts. We must accurately represent NASA and the ASU team, and if any part of the game extends beyond real-world accuracy, we must provide context so users understand it is not a true depiction. We are also required to maintain confidentiality outside the team and incorporate NASA-themed visuals and likeness throughout the game.
