As a research study I developed a game for mobile and PC platforms in collaboration with the European Space Agency <\/a>to show the impact of games on motivation in citizen science tasks, which are often perceived as boring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The game was developed in Unity and the backend written in ASP.NET and Entity Framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the course of 1 year the players marked about 7.7 million craters on the lunar surface, which will help guide future moon missions and give key insights about the lunar surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The game was well received and even featured on the German national 20:00 news “Tagesschau”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
