Space Upkeep System
Arcade Game to support “Astroscale” Campaign.
Arcade Game that increases awareness about space debris and its growing problem. We wanted to tell people about this ecological disaster and how the increasing popularity of space tourism can influence it. Astroscale was founded with the goal of creating a sustainable space environment. They are crowdfunding money for space cleaning drones. In our project, we wanted to show the perspective of one drone like that.

Project Overview
“Space Upkeep System” was a project created in 2 weeks in the second year of education. Project had to have a social or environmental issue campaign and create a game to change the behaviour of our target audience based on the campaign. Team worked on conveying the importance of the debris-cleaning drone and why people should donate to the “Astroscale” for the sake of the future of space.
The main gameplay feature is that you are controlling a space-cleaning drone that has to see where the next rocket launch will be and prevent a crash due to debris. The longer you play, the more launches will start to happen and the harder it will be to do your job. Also, the drone has limited inventory, that has to be cleared from time to time.
Controls are difficult intentionally and, based on the user tests, was positive decision.
