Exploration: Space is a single-player scripted adventure game set on a lunar planet. The goal of the game is to navigate and explore the world obtaining items and gaining knowledge in order to repair the rocket to fly back home.

This project’s focus was on level design and interaction with the environment to drive the story and game progression. Gameplay was created in Unreal Engine 5 and Blueprints were used for scripted elements of the levels.  Additionally, Maya was used to create certain game objects.

Your mission? Collect samples, provide supplies to the colony, and return home. Uh oh…uh, Houston? We’ve got a problem, our ship’s damaged. Your new mission: repair your ship! Walk or fly freely around the lunar planet and discover new locations, tools, resources, and upgrades!

Space is great, but you know what’s better? Getting home.
