This game is based on the cheesy but awesome 80's movie 'The Last Starfighter' .
It starts of as a retro 2d game(s) that you need to get a target score to unlock the next level.
The next level is a 3d (fairly high detail) spaceship fighting/flight sim thingy.
It is essentially 2 games in one and I think it should be approached as that as well. There are 2 ways this could be tackled:
- Have 2 teams, one is 2d, the other is 3d (requires more people)
- Have one team that creates the 2d for one semester, then the 3d for the other semester.
