Inspiration

My inspiration for this game was the time I spent with my kids pretending like we were astronauts ready to explore the Cosmos.

What it does

It simulates the interactions with Houston for the Sofa Astronauts that are laying on the floor with their feet on the sofa pretending they are the astronauts of today while dreaming of being the astronauts of tomorrow.

How I built it

I built it using Python on a Lambda function with data persistence from dynamodb.

Challenges I ran into

Lack of feedback early on slowed the project. I really wanted to get more feedback before developing more and more content.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

I really like the Click radio sound, I was quite proud of the CB style talking.

What I learned

That a story can create twists and turns yet really stay on the same path.

What's next for Sofa Astronauts

I have plans for puzzles, missions, lunar trips, and even a mission to Mars.
