About the assignment
Always wanted to develop a game but never got time or inspiration to create one? This is your chance to create a game for Thales (at Thales). Extend the game and create gameplay that is “easy to learn and hard to master”. So that gamers want to keep playing this game. The main purpose is to have fun and make the gamers (students) aware of the naval domain and the products that Thales produces. The Radar and Sensors that are developed in Thales will be used in the game.
The game is inspired by games like RoboCode, DOTA, LoL, Heroes of the Storm. A MOBA (multiplayer online battle arena) based game with battleships. Equip your battleship before entering the battle arena to fight other battleships.
In a small group of other students the game is in need to be extended/updated with new abilities, features and designs. Work could consist of adding new abilities, implement proper UI, create customizable ships, improve network manager, adding new game mode, new dynamic map and more…
