Inca Treasure Game Development

This is the initial schematic for the new archaeology game about the lost treasure of the Incas. I love playing Inca empire on Civ 5 and watching movies about their lost treasure. 

Here is what I plan: There will be 10 items to be fount in 10 locations relevant to the Inca empire and achievements. They will be marked on the map with some small icons. Every location will hold two images - the first one will unlock the second one, but if the player have the proper item. There will be 10 items  found on the first image in a form of hidden object somewhere on the landscape picture. They will be used with drag and drop over the correct place on the image. For example, the first picture on the Ship Wreckage site will be a shore, a sea and a boat. Drag and drop the diving suit(an initial item) on the boat will show the second picture of a sumken ship. Somewhere on the image there will be a small golden cup to be clicked and collected. When all 10 items are collected the game ends and rewards a new knowledge level. 


References:

1. Spanish Ship Wreckage + sunken ship / ships were carring the melted inca gold to Europe

algorithm:

1. Spanish Ship Wreckage + sunken ship     = diving suit
2. Machu Picchu + hidden house         = totem
3. Vilcabamba + jungle bridge         = machete
4. Sacsayhuaman + mystic stones     = dust brush
5. Maras Moray + round terrace         = ladder
6. Coricancha + catacombs         = rope
7. El Dorado + treasure city         = crystal skull

Gas Giants Moons Art

Gas Giants Moons drawing
The year begun with some cool space strategy games. From there I'm hooked on the Astronomy, and decided to finally create the Uranus Moons game, where the moons of Uranus should be dragged and dropped on their correct place and place it in the Astronomy category apps. I noticed most of the moons do not have a good picture to be dragged, so i drew some space asteroid like bodies to use them in the game. Half of it is drawn in the bus, the rough driving was helpful, as the outlines of an asteroid shouldn't be some precise round line :) As always, I'm not sure these drawings could be useful for someone else, but they are useful for me, and are free to use by anyone ofcourse.
