Inspiration

We were inspired by the many 2.5d retro racing games and tried to reimagine how they'd look if they were made today. The ship model was inspired by the ship from the original Elite.

What it does

Survive as a packet traveling through a retro vaporwave internet trying to reach it's destination without timing out or being corrupted by interference.

How we built it

Built with Unity and a lot of trial and error.

Challenges we ran into

Unity's installation got corrupted on Chris' machine on the first day which took a couple hours to fix. Unity gave inconsistent behaviour and error messages that weren't real and crashed several times. F*** Unity. Also team of 2.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I'm quite proud of the post-processing effects used in the project - Matt I think the overall execution went well with a lot of replayability for a 24 project (levels are infinite and randomly generated) - Chris
