Moonbase Alpha is a NASA-funded multiplayer game scenario with 20 minutes of play set on a hypothetical lunar outpost in 3-D immersive setting. This is a proof of concept to show NASA content – lunar architecture in this case – and a cutting edge game engine could be combined to produce a fun game and inspire interest in STEM education
WHAT WE THINK:
NASA and The Army Game Studio partner up with Virtual Heroes, a division of Applied Research Associates to develop an engrossing, really nice looking lunar sim on the Unreal 3 Engine leveraged by Valve’s Steam network features to include leaderboards and stats and then give it away for free. If your computer can handle, we say, Christmas came early.
