Project 7, AV 26.0, 5.5.3.1 - Lost and Found - Instruments of Navigation

User Experience: A short 2D game where players steer their ship using one of three traditional navigation tools. Each tool offers a unique gameplay experience, teaching how it was used to guide galleons across the sea. Players can switch between tools and explore different navigation methods on their journey to the destination.

Optional Value Add: The game is rendered in 3D instead of 2D

Success Metrics:

Visitors learn how 17th-century navigation tools worked through short, engaging mini-games.

Each tool offers a unique hands-on challenge, like using stars or spotting clues in nature to guide the ship.

The experience is guided by voiceovers and ambient sounds, creating a rich, immersive journey.

A historical map tracks the player’s progress, making learning feel like an adventure across the sea.

Sessions are short and rewarding, with built-in pacing to keep visitors engaged without feeling overwhelmed.

Visual Aids

The images below are for illustration purposes only.

An idea for a 2D execution would be to do it with a isometric perspective, similar to Monument Valley

⁠

An alternative for a 2D execution is a fixed first-perspective

⁠

A 3D implementation would be the most intuitive execution to accurately mimic game mechanics to how compasses, birds, or stars may be used
