PERSONAL GOALS and CONSTRAINTS
This game jam came onto my radar while I was thinking about creating Google-Doodle-styled games for non-profits. Therefore, my goal for this particular game jam was to try to create an educational interactive doodle.
I spent MOST of my first day researching the NASA space shuttle. I was going to do a game about performing a check list where the player had to check the shuttle and if they missed anything then the launch would fail. However, after reading through NASA checklists...I was thoroughly confused.
Luckly I happened across a cool little informational website about how the different components travel across the country over to Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
Unfortunately I didn't do everything I wanted, but whatevs. I hope you like.
Thank you for reading, and thank you for playing!
