Short description of the game
We took outer space and decided to spin some gameplay that usually isn't associate with outer space (farming) with a genre that is heavily associated with outer space (rail shooters)

Development Process
We needed to cut some of my initial gameplay ideas to include an RPG fight at the end of the rail shooter before you can collect your loot, but the more I worked on the other two the less I could work on the RPG. For the bosses I just browsed around some models I got from the asset packs and made some attack patterns based on their shape and features. None of the bosses had any prior thinking going into them before I saw their models.

Did you work in a multicultural/multilingual team over different time-zones?
Yes we did, there was a 6 hour time difference between us
