Game World

Level 1

Game world

It's the year 2050, and humanity has undergone dramatic changes due to technological
advancements and environmental challenges. The world has become more interconnected and
globalised than ever before, with advanced AI systems, smart cities, and ubiquitous automation.
Climate change has also had a significant impact, with rising sea levels, extreme weather events,
and widespread environmental degradation.

Humanity has become a spacefaring civilization, with a significant presence and infrastructure in
space. With Earth's resources becoming increasingly scarce, governments and private companies
have invested heavily in space exploration, mining, and colonisation.
The first permanent human settlements have been established on the Moon and Mars, with
research stations and industrial facilities supporting the growing population. Large asteroid
mining operations provide essential resources, including water, metals, and rare earth elements,
for use in space and on Earth.

Layout design

Humanity, who has abandoned Earth, is now living in space, on different planets, moons and
even man-made aircrafts, constantly travelling around the space, encountering different
environments and situations.
Geomorphology Inhabitant (NPC) Features

Backstory

One day, a lot of spaceships suddenly appeared above the moon. They started to wander
above the moon and attack humans round by round then grabbed the human’s resources. The
humans were forced to move to the safety area and started to build towers with advanced
technology to defend the attack from the aliens. The humans constantly upgraded their tower to
protect the human's safety area.

Objective

In singleplayer mode or co-op mode, players are allowed to plan their strategy to cope
with every round of attack. Every round will appear different enemies and abilities to
break out the defences that are arranged by players. Players can use money to upgrade
the tower to enhance the defence and defeat the stranger enemies. Other than that,
players need to manage money wisely which is obtained from defeating the enemies.
This can prevent players from encountering money when they fall in difficulty, which
decides their fate of winning or losing.

In PvP mode, The rounds will start automatically, deploying aliens to force players to
build up their defences. Each round and each alien killed will award the players with
currency to either go defensive or go offensive. If a player wishes to seal their
opponent’s fate, they can use their own currency to send additional aliens to the other
side, in hopes of killing them. The goal of this mode is to defend yourself until the
opponent runs out of health points.

Characters

Capricorn “Defender” ♑︎
The Capricorn is an Artificial Intelligence that is in charge of leading the towers to defend
their turf. It is an “artificial character” that is being controlled by players, or so called
“defenders”. Its sole purpose is to not let a singular invader slip by the defence.
