Feature Demos

At the start of the game, players are presented with all available faction sheets and home systems.

Once they have selected their faction, they can load in all the corresponding faction-specific assets with the click of a button.

Additionally, each player can select the color cube corresponding to their chosen color to load in all ships, units, technologies, and promissory notes.

Finally, when everyone has selected their faction and color, clicking the speaker token will load in all the cards and tokens required for the game.

Quality of Life features

In addition to being able to pick up components, flip components, rotate components, lock components (so they cant accidentally be moved), and full camera mobility, I implemented a few more quality of life features for the fancier components.

Firstly, I implented a "deck" system that allows card objects to merge together into larger deck objects(proportionally sized based on the number of cards contained). As shown below, each deck supports removal by simply shift-dragging off the top, and addition by simply dropping a card onto the deck.

Finally, I built the system tiles to snap to the hexagonal grid for ease of map building.
