1.1Basic Input- correctly trigger all possible button / control events
- console output with Debug.Log()		DH
6
1.2Basic Movement: Car Physics- move MotionSim with car physics
- use horizontal axis for steering
- use gas / break pedal for accelerating / breaking		DH
7
1.3Basic Movement: Aeroplane Physics- move MotionSim with aeroplane physics
- use horizontal axis for roll
- use vertical axis for pitch
- no pedal use		DH
8
1.4Advanced Movement:
Combining Car & Aeroplane Physics v1		- check asset store for existing control scripts
- first try scripting physics for plane / car combi
- use horizontal axis for steering / roll
- use vertical axis for leaning forward / backward mostly after jumps (control mass)
- use gas pedal / break pedal for accelerating / breaking		DH
9
1.4.1Advanced Movement:
Combining Car & Aeroplane Physics v1.1		- optional variation using vertical axis (pulling control stick) for a speed boost
- pushing control stick not supported
- automatic leaning after jumps		DH
10
1.4.2Advanced Movement:
Combining Car & Aeroplane Physics v1.2
- optional variation using vertical axis (pulling control stick) to change nozzle exhaust rotation for
better air gliding / decreased rate of descend / increased flight altitude / decreased velocity
- pushing control stick for less air gliding / inrceased rate of descend / decreased flight altitude /
increased velocity
- leaning while changing altitude
DH
11
1.4.3Advanced Movement:
Dual Throttle Control		- optional variation with pod-racer-like dual throttle control
- each foot pedal controls an engine
- breaking by pulling control stick
- alternatively breaking by releasing both pedals (very likely uncomfortable)		DH
12
1.5Advanced Movement:
Refining Pod Racer Physics		- tweaking / improving physics to match the desired control
- e.g side-drifting, etc. 		DH

16
2.1Basic Controls: Aiming (fixed) - fixed aiming
- forward vector controls aiming		DH (opt.)
17
2.2Basic Controls: Aiming (dynamic) - dynamic aiming
- look direction controls aiming
- crosshair is child of head camera
- alternatively: crosshair has fixed z distance, x & y positioning through head camera raycasting
onto a pre-defined invisible plane
- optional: crosshair only visible when switch of control stick is turned on (shooting
mode) to avoid distraction		DH (opt.)
18
2.2.1Basic Controls: Aiming (dynamic)
Alternative: Analog Stick Aiming		- optional variation
- dynamic aiming
- analog stick of control stick controls crosshair
- very likely not fun to play

Raycast Shooting		- using respective shooting buttons of control stick to control left / right laser-pistol-like
vehicle guns
- shooting using raycasting 		DH (opt.)
25
3.4Basic Controls: What to shoot?
Object Shooting
(cf. rocket launcher)		- using respective shooting buttons of control stick to control left / right guns
- shooting rocket prefabs
- shooting using rigidbody force 		DH (opt.)
26
3.4.1Basic Controls: What to shoot?
Object Shooting
Alternative: Throw Physics		- optional variation
- using throw physics (e.g. for bombs, other obstacles, etc.)
- shooting using rigidbody force at a certain angle		DH (opt.)
27
3.5Advanced Controls: What to shoot?
Hybrid		- using left shooting button of control stick to fire rockets
- using right shooting button of control stick to fire laser / machine gun / 		DH (opt.)
28
3.6Advanced Control & Shooting:
Merging everthing together 		- merging best shooting technique & best aiming technique to create the perfect
shooting control		DH (opt.)

4.1Basic Game Concept Implementation /
Basic Game Logic:
Escape Racer		- player is flying with untested prototype of a new spaceship model from
the NMY-Scientist's headquarter
- competitive companies monitored NMY's plans and send bounty hunters in special enemy
spaceships to destroy the prototype spaceship and ruin the company
- as a great pilot, it's the player's objective to reach the 4th location of NMY on planet X		DH?
33
4.2Basic Game Concept Implementation /
Basic Game Logic:
Chase Racer		- player is chasing enemy spaceships who stole the prototyping plans of a revolutionary
spaceship model from NMY
- it's the player's objective to destoy the enemy spaceships and recapture the plans

4.1Story Sequencing: Intro- game starts in custom designed futuristic NMY showroom (for details see prototype #6.7)
- siren goes off
- prototype spaceship drives to NMY Future Showroom's hangar exit
- shutters getting pulled up (not necessarily shutters; cf. future atmosphere)
- game starts
40
4.1Story Sequencing: Intro Alternative- game starts in NMY showroom
- room wall opens as giant door, hizzing
- spaceship flying to space
- lightspeed warp to reach planet NMY-661
- prototype spaceship drives to NMY Future Showroom's hangar exit
- shutters getting pulled up (not necessarily shutters; cf. future atmosphere)
- game starts
41
4.2Story Sequencing: Outro- player reached 4th location of NMY
- hangar opens
- NMY-Scientists celebrate upon arrival
42
