Today we brainstormed feature of the pitch.
We were first approached with, how is this different from other space shooter games on the PlayStation market? So we started sifting through games to find anything remotely similar to our idea:

7 space games, all different USPs – our USP:
• Stranded in space, repair and defend ship
• Wave based (increasing difficulty)
• Multi tasking, spatial awareness to see where enemies are coming from
Platform:
We are working towards a release on PlayStation. As we believe after evaluating the market there is no other game like ours. So why should you choose it? Just because there aren’t ashtrays on motorcycles doesn’t make it a good idea. The difference is that we have looked at the trends and common themes through the space games and they are addicting due to their increasing difficulty. We have this and many other features to make the game as enjoyable as it can be. We have a fun and understanding concept behind why you are stranded as you have been attacked by space pirates.
