Prototype for Cohort 2

I am finally in Zeph's group on "Mars Rovers". The team for now is Zeph (Producer), Alice (Artist), Me(Engineer), Yuntao (Engineer), Yang (Engineer) and Wang (Engineer). I picked this team because "Mars Rover" is an RTS game. I have grown up playing RTS games and I would love to contribute to an RTS game like "Mars Rovers". 

      Until a week back we were iterating on the game idea. We came up several themes and several mechanics. But, something didn't feel right as all of those themes and mechanics have been already instigated in many RTS games. I was really doubting the theme and mechanics at every stage of the iteration. I just didn't want to settle on one thing. So, we kept iterating until Roger helped us with some game theme. We again started iterating on the game idea, keeping Roger's suggestions in mind. 

   The game idea has a come long way. We now have an RTS survival game. Bringing RTS lovers and First person/Third person survival lovers together can be our research statement. 

    Since the past week we are working on the prototype that we have to show to the Cohort 2 next week. We are using Unity3D. We are using JavaScript,C# mostly to write all the scripts.
