FACE

Tundra terrain in-game.

A planet

We are not using C4, but here is what it looks like in C4.

Textures

Gas planet with storm.

Blue planet with cloud cover.

The beginnings of Orion.

He needs a kilt and a face.

This is a shrub.

Art Progress

The first boss model, cancer, is almost finished.

Desert weeds static model.

Cactus static model shown in the desert terrain.

Project Pitch

Team: Dave Becroft, Elliot Brodzki, Stefan Giusti, Adrian Mejia, Charles Murphy, Sam Rogers

• GAME NAME: Orion
• GAME GENRE: Chill Celestial shooter
• GAME ENGINE: Unity 3D Engine
• BRIEF DESCRIPTION:

The player takes control of the constellation Orion in the night sky over Earth. As comets and meteors fall through the night sky towards the Earth, Orion must fire shooting stars from his celestial bow to knock them away/destroy them in order to save the Earth! Both the falling meteors and the shooting stars from Orion's bow are affected by the gravity wells around the many stars in the night sky, making it difficult to predict the path they will take as they travel.

At the end of each level, there will be a boss constellation that you will have to defeat.

SIGNIFICANT TECHNICAL FEATURES:

1. Boss constellations
2. Gravity wells and celestial body movement mechanics

SIGNIFICANT ARTISTIC FEATURES:

1. Constellations
2. The Earth
3. The night sky
