Recently, Dr Waylan very excitedly piloted and command a ship through a far reaching solar system to do battle with aliens at Earthrise One in Melbourne.
A high tech game inspired by Star Trek and Bridge Command.
"Each member of your 'crew' gets a different role. We had five players, and had a science officer, engineer, pilot, gunner and captain. Each with a different console and job that contributed to the overall success of our mission.
The viewport was three huge screen televisions that combined together to give us our viewing port out into space. As the pilot steered us around, we could explore the solar system. And if required, the gunner was able to shoot things down in real time. The engineer worked to keep our batteries charged and our torpedoes loaded, and the science officer worked to scan our surroundings and interpret alien signals."
~Dr Waylan
This game was fantastic fun! And if Dr Waylan watched more Star Trek, I'm sure he would have enjoyed it even more.
If we were to offer one critique, this ambitious game is still in its early release stages and we did have a sizable bug (that was fixed up promptly by the Earthrise One team).
If you're like Dr Waylan, and you're want to experience something ambitious, new and refreshing in the Escape Room/Immersive Games genre. Then he highly recommends playing this game right now. However, if you want a very polished experience with all the bugs and kinks worked out, he does recommend waiting 3-6 months before playing.
