We created a point and click mouse controlled computer game using Pygame library and original art, inspired by early video games and newer visual novels. The game is set on a spaceship, with the player experiencing the scene in first person with the astronaut’s visor screen displaying their vital signs at the edges of the screen. The game will begin with the player waking up alone on the spacecraft with a leak in their oxygen supply, and the ship is a decaying orbit of a distant star. The object of the game will be to collect the necessary items and complete certain actions in the right order to repair the ship before the oxygen runs out.
We wanted to create a compelling and visually appealing game, while keeping the operation and narrative simple and clean.
We are focused more on telling an interesting story than making gameplay fast paced and realistic, so we focused on creating a realistic and thoughtfully laid out game structure.
