Starrrboard, HO!

Starrrboard, Ho! is a multi-directional space shooter game where the player can drive their pirate ship to collect scrap, which is then traded for money.

Inspiration

Some of us grew up watching the beloved Disney film, Treasure Planet. This is where we got the inspiration for Starrrboard, Ho!

What It Does

There are scraps floating around space of different values. Gather them up with your force field, and get PAID!!!

How We Built It

We used the open source software GoDot to program and create our fully custom game. It has custom pixel art made with the open source software Block Bench and a custom soundtrack made the open source software BandLab.

Challenges We Ran Into

Our biggest difficulty we ran into was trying to get the main menu to work. We also had trouble with allowing passthrough so you could see the game clearly.

Accomplishments and What We're Proud Of

The final product is without bugs, and is a finished game with an addictive loop of gathering scraps infinitely. We are also very proud of the fact that we made all of our assets ourselves.

What We Learned

The two of out programmers had little to no experience with GoDot before coming. We learned more about physics, systems of animating objects smoothly over different length frames, as well as general game development.

What's Next for Starrrboard, Ho!

We're working to add a shop so that the player can upgrade their ship. We also want to add a second level so the player has enemy ships to fight and weather effects, like asteroids. Look forward to a later version!!!
