Players would drive through the wilderness, plan routes, collect and deliver supplies, and upgrade their vehicles to reach new watchtowers and unlock further areas.<\/p><p>Limited fuel, cargo weight and difficult terrain are intended to make each journey a series of meaningful decisions. Players must balance the resources they collect against the fuel they consume and choose routes suited to their vehicle and load.<\/p><p>The intended experience combines exploration, strategy and a sense of vehicle progression with the peaceful atmosphere of nature. Forests, rivers, sunsets and weather form the proposed visual direction, making scenery part of the journey and balancing the pressure of resource management.<\/p><p>Vehicle physics, terrain responses, navigation and the interface support this intention by making changes in speed, fuel consumption and route difficulty clear to the player.<\/p><\/section><h2 style=\"font-size:27px;font-weight:500;margin:0 0 24px\">Peer Feedback<\/h2><figure style=\"margin:0 0 26px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/sm8g25\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/96\/2026\/10\/IMG_6513-scaled.jpeg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/sm8g25\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/96\/2026\/10\/IMG_6513-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"Peer feedback notes on route variety, landscapes, resource management, story, progression and prototype scope\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display:block;width:100%;height:auto\"><\/a><figcaption style=\"font-size:14px;line-height:1.6;color:#536753;margin-top:9px\">Peer feedback on the design intention.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div><\/main>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Far Frontier Sihan Ma\u2019s Game Design Document ResearchWeekly DevelopmentGame Testing &amp; FeedbacksPrototype UpdatesPrototype \u2190 Weekly Development Design Intention Design intention worksheet.
