- Far Flung consists of a series of five mini-games. Each mini-game takes the player through one aspect of the Psyche mission: assembly of the orbitter itself, launching the orbitter to the asteroid Psyche, collecting data from the surface of the asteroid, communicating that data back to Earth, and finally analyzing the data. Each game offers a variety of different player experiences, and new ways to encourage the player to learn more about the Psyche mission.
- The games are tied together by the Hub. From the Hub, players can choose to either play through a story-driven campaign, or they can explore each of the mini-games in a 'free play' mode. In the campaign mode, the mini-games are linked together through cinematic experiences and engaging dialog.
- Open project in Unity Editor and confirm editor version in Unity Hub (See #Development Tools)
- File > Build Settings
- Build and player settings are saved as part of the project assets, and no modification is required. Click 'Build' and choose an output path.
- After the build is complete, confirm the contents of the output.
- The native resolution of the game is 1440 x 900. Do not change the 'height' and 'width' attributes of the canvas element. However, the style of the HTML canvas element can be adjusted to accomodate different screen sizes or website layouts by changing the height and width properties in the style attribute. Be sure that the height and width match a 1.6:1 ratio (e.g. 960 x 600, see below).
- The scripts necessary to load the build in a web browser will not work when loaded from local storage. You may host the files on a simple static server for testing. Unity provides web server tool as part of its default installation, and it can be found here:
