Story
Sketch Jets: Mr. Chalks Great Adventure: The Quest for Necco Wafers
Mr. Chalk arrives home after a long day of writing to see his lovely wife waiting for him. He had forgotten to stop at the store to get groceries for dinner. Ms Chalk gives Mr Chalk a new shopping list and sends him to the store. Mr Chalk then leaves again to go to the space store for supplies and on the way runs into trouble.
Low on fuel Mr Chalk must stop at the space gas station to fill up his ship and purchase upgrades with the necco wafers that he has collected off of enemy ships.
Mr Chalk leaves the gas station to venture on his way to the grocery store.
Mr chalk arrives at the store and purchases dinner and new upgrades. He then receives a message from Ms Chalk that she needs medical grade moisturizer from the pharmacy.
After much peril Mr Chalk arrives at the pharmacy where he will be able to purchase more upgrades and moisturizer for his crusty hubby.
On his way home Mr chalk ran into a space detour that will take him past the gas station he visited earlier. Here he will be able to add the final upgrades to his ship before venturing home.
Mr Chalk arrives home quite puzzled that noone is home, "Where is my wife?" he exclaims. "Mr Chalk," I explain "you never had a wife."

Unity projects
List of fixes that need attention
-Replace the collision on playable characters with mesh colliders
-Fix drone collision bug where screen goes black
-Figure out how to import Quicktime movie onto card/billboard (Explosion/death)
-Swap out states on collision
-New unity scene for the Load/Main menu (main menu is already designed)
- Find how to call audio for events
The player will begin the game with their choice of ship with a base HP of 3. One sheild point, 2 hull points. When the player takes their first hit their shields will drop, second hit will damage the ship, third will kill them.
-Working attacks
-Working powerups
-Swapping out powerup states
-Working upgrades
All ships will need up to 5 progressing states for their weapon types
*Ship 1: bluebird - This ship will have a normal straight laser that fires directly where the ship is pointed and will get wider as the player obtains pickups. With each pickup the laser will get thicker.
*Ship 2: redwing - This ship is the most straightforward with a normal cannon that fires 2 bullets on power one and will gain one more bullet stream per state. The powerups will also affect the amount of spread there is on the bullets.
*Ship 3: violet - This ship will be equipped with a laser that could best be described like a ghostbuster proton pack on steroids. The best example is in Raiden Project for PS1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZ1I6Ci_hKc at 2 minutes. With powerups the beam gets thicker.

Game Mechanics
Movement- the players survival will rely heavily on the movement mechanic. They will need to maneuver their ship through enemy ships and artillery to stay alive. This will be controlled by the WASD keys or the left stick of a controller.
Shooting- The player will need to defeat enemies by shooting them with their available weapons. To complete the levels all enemies must be eliminated or avoided. Firing will be controlled by the mouse or the right stick of a controller.
Dodging- The player will need to evade enemy fire to survive and complete each level.
The levels themselves will consist of parallax layers that will consist of
First layer: the background desk/chalk/white boards.
Second layer: the paper background that will be static.
Third layer: a transparent layer that will house the destruction animations and the background assets such as planets and asteroids.
Fourth layer: this will be the most active layer that will house the player character, enemy ships and the various pickups in the level.
