Pla.NET is a game about a little spaceship traversing space to get home, stopping on cute planets on the way to fill up on resources and fuel. Gameplay consists of three, cycling phases: Travel, Harvest and Takeoff.

• During the Travel Phase, the player tilts the device to avoid colliding with asteroids and stars and they can tap the screen to activate a shield when collision is unavoidable (though it only protects against asteroids).
• During the Harvest Phase, the player swipes on the planet to orbit on its surface and collect minerals that replenish health, shield battery and fuel, but should avoid rocks.
• During the Takeoff Phase, the player can choose between a few possible destinations based on their distance and resource availability as shown by the wayfinders. Further planets will mean a longer Travel Phase, but fewer jumps towards home and the end of the game.

It was developed as a project for the “Ingegneria del Software T” (Software Engineering) course part of the Computer Engineering bachelor’s at the University of Bologna, by a team of three: Fabio Scita, Francesco Frassineti and Matteo Grilli. We all had a hand in the code and in making a Unity game fit into the analytical and class structure requirements of the project, plus I was responsible for 3d art (made using blender) and involved in shader art.
