Star Wars: The Gungan FrontierReleased: Q2 1999 |
|
Background:
In 1998, Lucas Learning began work on an educational ecological simulation set within the Star Wars universe. As timing would have it, this simulation became one of the titles targeted for simultaneous release with Star Wars: Episode I, making the distinct effort to meld the characters and locations of the new Star Wars movie into the simulation experience.
|
The result of this effort was Star Wars: The Gungan Frontier. The game is designed for players age 9 and up, the goal is to transform the barren moon of Naboo into a thriving, balanced ecosystem and help the Gungans build a new underwater bubble city. Along the way you confront all the typical resource management issues associated with any builder simulation. My role on the project was as the second programmer, primarily responsible for the Windows 95 version and the "Underwater City" portion of the simulation. It was the project I was hired into Lucas Learning to work on, joining development just prior to the Alpha stage. I also did plenty of "coding as needed" to fill out and debug a variety of components of the application. |
