SkyWatchers

SUMMARY

SkyWatchers was planned to be a  Virtual Reality game, however, there were some difficulties with the code. Now is a standard PC game which main goal is to visualize our solar system, as well as some astronomical object that we can find on it.

USABILITY

The user can get closer to any object in the list by using the buttons on the canvas to see much closer the object and learning about its specific characteristics, such as, distance from sun, composition, orbit speed, etc.

MINDSET 

In this game we aim to create a feeling of calm, to boost the users desire to discover and, to provide a certain effect of power and greatness in players. But as we are talking about the outer space, the strongest feeling should always be tranquility and loneliness.

CONTROLLERS

To control the game, the user need to use the keyboard and mouse. The user can select the planets using the mouse, open and close the menu and control a spaceship using the WASD or the arrow keys.
