Overview
"Melinki Lander Arena is a science fiction video game in the low poly flat-shaded style, with role playing and real-time strategy components. This game is played on maps that are actual 3D objects, which is a new approach in mobile device gaming, and unique to this application. This project combines multiple elements from different gaming mechanisms to synthesize a whole. While thematically similar to individual science fiction space games that preceeded it, the principal challenges of this project will not be the programming or implementation, but the creation of enjoyable gameplay in an extraordinarily complex game environment. Melinki Lander Arena would aspire to function ultimately as an episodic storytelling platform, that can be experienced by multiple people over a network simultaneously. Melinki Lander Arena will be developed for iOS." -- Abstract
