Space Station Defense

Space Station Defense is a game that was developed for the Oculus Rift. In the game, the player will fly around in the defense zone of a space station and fight back against the invading forces.

In the game, the player uses a joystick to control the trajectory of their ship, and uses the Oculus Rift’s motion sensors to aim where their fire their guns.

Capstone Project Worker Models

For my Capstone project, I decided to make the models for my workers. As they are the center of the project, I felt as though they had to be modeled by myself. There are three types of workers for my game: the scientist, the treasure hunters, and the physical workers. All three are necessary in order to beat the game. The dolphin was the first model that I created. As for why dolphins are my scientists, I’m not sure myself, but it seemed humorous and a bit fitting, so I figured, “Why not?”

The treasure hunter came next. The design is inspired by a scorpion, with articulated joints and a stinger at the end of a long tail. His design is all about corners, contrasting the smooth, round edges of the dolphin. As he is the treasure hunter in a group-based game, I also wanted to make the model seem untrustworthy, to show just how the workers are capable of putting aside their differences for a common goal.

 

 

 

 

The robots came last. Originally, they were going to be small, hooded aliens, but as I continued modeling the head and torso, the design became more mechanical. The robots are the physical task force of the group, and they will be the main tacklers of obstacles that appear on the world map.
