EveScape Shuttle was a collaborative project with three 'Games Design' students. The project was to create a game inspired by escape rooms, with permission to use the 'EVE Online' (CCP Games, 2003) Intellectual Property. The player is a pilot of a shuttle which has been attacked by space pirates and is crashing, they must solve puzzles to attempt to fix the ship before it explodes. However, due to having no technical knowledge of repair, the player character must use 'Neural Boosters' to give themselves temporary intelligence boosts to assist.

​

Our intention with EveScape Shuttle was to make a product that did the 'EVE Online' I.P. justice with an emphasis on being an experience, and polished. We decided to explore aspects of the EVE franchise rarely seen. As pilots of shuttles are usually Non-Playable characters, we used one as our main character, Neural Boosters are a relatively small facet of the lore, yet we made them the core mechanic of our game. These design choices allowed us to explore the EVE franchise from a fresh perspective.
