after-dawn

Dawn space probe has been launched by NASA on 2007 to study massive objects of the asteroid belt. Dawn is currently on route to Ceres. “After Dawn” is a game that is inspired by this mission, and set in its aftermath. What is different in this new mission is that the user utilizes the asteroids for extracting metals and volatiles. Also, player must avoid various dangers and threads. In this game, players will be encouraged to learn about astronomy and space technologies, as well as having fun.

This project is solving the Asteroid Prospector challenge.
