Ideas & Early Brainstorming
This was the stage of the project were we had to brainstorm ideas. We all got togther as a group and racked our brains for what to make based on the criteria we were given.
Idea 1: We considered a platformer that where the user could mine resources are they moved down a proccedurly generated tunnel.
Idea 2: We considered a top down game where the user could mine resources on a map. Sell them at the shop to buy upgrades.
We started to explore idea 2 more because it seemed more feasible to do in 6 weeks. We added an objectives system so that the user could advance to the next level. We also added a fuel system so that there was some sort of failure state. We then looked at how we would build the game. We throught we could create files and then import them into a main file.

Very few of these ideas made in into the final verision.
