Description
Draw The Night Sky is a game project made in collaboration with Carter’s Lake to make their constellation viewing program more accessible. The stars in the sky are quite difficult to see without the perfect conditions, so an alternative would assist with this greatly. By creating a fun and interactive experience through a game, it should teach the visitors of the nature center to be able to search for stars even outside of the game. Utilizing an accurate star map based on the Yale Bright Star catalogue, we have an accurate star map that mirrors the real world which adds to the immersion of the players. In addition to this, very simple real-world tools are provided to the player to find the constellations. Exploring space is quite lonely, so a fun companion in the form of Stella is there to give the player all the right tools to get the job done.
