Abstract

Nebula A-Z is a 2D action-puzzle game that is developed for Windows PC. Using C# in Unity framework, this game is targeting on audience from 7 to 12 years old. The purpose of this game is to challenge players with their familiarity in using keyboard as the game input and to share knowledge about terms regarding to outer space in alphabetical order. Each alphabet being typed will gain a point and player has five lives to protect in order not to lose the game. Player will win the game if they get to beat the previous high score achieved. This game is inspired from three on-market games named Ztype, The Typing of the Dead and Ninja Cat & Zombie Dinosaurs which all are implementing the typing mechanism as the input channel. The same input channel will be developed in this game with a pool of words focusing only on the theme of Outer Space. The methodology used for the creation of this game is Agile Development Process. The objectives of this game are to investigate the input mechanism of existing typing games such as ZType, Typing of the Dead and Ninja Cat & Zombie Dinosaurs, to develop a game that can introduce the specific terms regarding to Outer Space that are represented through the alphabets of the keyboard and to test the playability of keyboard as the main input device for shooting in this action-puzzle game. The outcome of this project is a complete playable prototype of Nebula A-Z.
