Astraeus Command: Technical Design Document
1. Executive Summary
Astraeus Command is a 2D space bridge simulation game where the player takes the role of a Starship Commander. The game emphasizes immersion through a "split-screen" interface: the left side represents the ship's forward view and primary HUD, while the right side acts as a dedicated, switchable workstation for various ship functions (Helm, Tactical, Engineering, etc.).
2. Core Gameplay Pillars
Bridge Immersion: The player must manage the ship by interacting with specific consoles, rather than a global menu.
Strategic Resource Management: Success depends on balancing Fuel, Supplies, and Crew while maintaining Hull and Shield integrity.
Contextual Interaction: Different stations provide the necessary tools to solve specific problems (e.g., Tactical for combat, Science for exploration).
