Space Opera

Space Opera is in the science fiction genre, it is always a thought that it is a bad quality science fiction genre, it is sometimes use in a negative expression. One of its most distinct features is the characters in space opera, powers they hold, the “super size” characters and also the settings; in the outer space. Space opera is always talking about conflict between both because of each other overwhelming powers. Space opera is basically an adventurous with a little romance and a setting held in space; however the space “opera” does not have any singing in it. One of a movie example is Star wars prequel trilogy, Star wars is a movie set in the fictional galaxy, where exist of many other species like aliens, humanoids and humans. When star travelling many of them is a member of the galactic empire, other than that one of the distinct elements in the movie is the “force”. As a game designer of Singapore Polytechnic, Space Opera is a topic that gave a vast amount of ideas for our game. Our game is a puzzle game held in the run down hospital, and the common thing about it is that both of them are special areas that are trying to convey the message to the audience. Space opera setting is at the unknown outer space, and is where humans are curious about. Using space opera in our game, we made the area of the game dark to hide the different parts of the hospital giving the zombie a great advantage since we cannot see them but they can. Using these methods, it brings curiosity to the players playing the game because they have to walk about the set and light up the area. Similarly to the space opera, where both are needed to explore the unknown world to navigate around the set or map of the game. In conclusion, there are many way in making a game by getting some ideas from Space Opera.
