Game Developer Contest for Astronauts Gets IDR 1.5 billion in Prizes
This competition will close on 7 July. The purpose of this competition itself is to provide inspiration for the souls of game designers for the future.
Because this game is made for astronauts who will spend time on their way to Mars, this game must meet several criteria. Participants must be able to ensure that the games made can have a good impact on the mental and physical health of future astronauts.
The concept of the game being developed is free, ranging from toys depending on conditions without gravity, games that use VR, and sports games that can support astronauts’ physical activities such as football.
The game is also able to provide a boost in athletic activity and maintain muscle, bone density, and cardiovascular health specifically for such a long space journey.
