STARLIGHT EXPEDITION
Starlight Expedition is a game created during the Scientifique Game Jam Paris 2023 by a team of five in 48 hours. The game is based on the PhD thesis of one of our group members, which focuses on the physics of solar cells and the composition of organic solar panels. This scientific theme is integrated through the gameplay and the scoring system, which revolves around the power output of the solar panel.
​
In 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin had the chance to embark on an epic mission: traveling to the Moon. But when their spacecraft landed, the solar panels completely failed.
​
Now stranded on the lunar surface with no means of communication, they decided to take matters into their own hands by building their own solar panels out of… nothing.
​
And this is my ship. As you can see, its energy is not sufficient. I will never make it to my destination—unless you can design what I need. Hear my call! And most importantly, are you ready to take on the challenge? For my survival now lies in your hands.
​
Embark on a mission where time is running out. Although here, time is merely a matter of perspective. I ask only one thing: understand the assembly of solar panels so that my spacecraft can land.
​
So, what are you waiting for to become the new hero of space? Join me in Starlight Expedition, right now.
