Q2 Winter 2018

Winter Quarter Goals: The goal for this quarter is to have a multiplayer demo available on the app store by the winter showcase. Visitors to the booth will receive a business card, which will contain an AR image target. Scanning this will lead into a simple scenario, where players can connect to each other via LAN (controlling both large ships and fighters) to defeat some threat or fight each other. At the booth, we will have a cockpit-based VR system, allowing the VR player to be a fighter in the same scenario. Potentially, said VR demo will be available for download online.

Steps required:

Gameplay Ship abilities Ship AI Combat Combat Resolution Focus Fire Idle mode AR: Touch controls UI Rotation Abilities VR: Ability to control fighter in VR Networking integration Modeling Interior cockpit Thematic/Story models Textures Other User accounts Firebase integration Storage of ship data (may not be implemented in initial app release) Story-based decisions Non-vr single ship control
