Configuration screen in Math Combat Challenge

This is the configuration screen of Math Combat Challenge, that allows you to manage and parameterize the different aspects of the gameplay and the difficulty. Combining these elements, the player can turn the game into a simple pastime, or a complex mathematical problem-solving application.

A series of initial mathematical parameters are defined, which will then be further extended upon exit from the game.

A pdf with instructions is now on the way and will be available for download in a few days.

The three initial arenas

“Math is life” is the motto of the game. These are the first three arenas in Math Combat Challenge: Stadium Arena (below), Titan Arena (left), Asteroids Arena (right). The Stadium and the Asteroids arenas will be available when the game is out. The third arena will be available some days later for free.

Starting beta phase now.

Math Combat Challenge – The mathematical game

Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP), to finish the work the right way

You want the best weapon. We have it. The Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) is always there when you´re low of energy, lasers and missiles. You´ll never regret to carry one of these in your arsenal. Enjoy!

Cockpit in combat mode (Asteroid Arena)

This is the cockpit in combat mode for the Titan Asteroid Arena. In this mode the radar tracks enemy fighters and other ships, and weapons are completely active, even the Electromagnetic Pulse Missile (EMP).

Math Combat Challenge will be compatible with keyboard & mouse, console pads, TrackIR, and Oculus Rift.

Third arena available after initial release

The third arena of Math Combat Challenge will be settled on the surface and the forsaken base of the Titan moon (Saturn). While the mechanics will be similar to the Stadium Arena, new surprises will be added to this area.

This arena will be free and available after the initial release.

Starting beta testing very soon

We´re almost ready to begin beta testing. We have a small and enthusiastic group of people who share their love for First Person Shooters and Space Simulators. Remember: this game offers both: the Stadium Arena, and the Saturn Asteroids Arena. Three New Arenas will be included after the initial release at no cost.

Math Combat Challenge: the story behind

Math Combat Challenge (MC2) is a videogame in development for PC and Mac inspired by the novel “Messenger of the Náströnd”, and settled in 2156, three years after the previous novel. It´s an indie game developed by a very small team.

This video shows some elements of the novel and the game, with the voice of the main character, Sandra Kimmel.

Sandra is an android, who has been active for 106 years. Her mission is to travel to Titan, to investigate a plot by a drug cartel that has kidnapped a man. There she´ll see that things were not as simple as when they informed her.

The game will be Oculus Rift compatible.

Oculus Rift coming to Math Combat Challenge

We´ve been testing the space arena of the game with the Oculus Rift this week, and the results sound very promising. So we can say now that the first release of Math Combat Challenge will be Oculus Rift compatible, with more hardware coming soon.

Using a videogame with a good monitor is important, but the Oculus Rift is just a quantum leap ahead of what we have seen before. Its immersion is just incredible, as it is like being there in the space. We do recommend the Oculus Rift, or at least try the glasses. Amazing.

Kraken Bridge is finished

bridge_kraken We are proud to report that the bridge joining Christiaan Huygens and Lake Kraken Laboratories, which will be named “Kraken Bridge”, is completed. Nowadays the asphalting works are carried out nearby for the first visits of families to the lake.

This is another engineering success of the Titan Deep Space Company. We are proud to turn Titan into a new home for humanity.
