Signals of Earth

"In the vast silence of the cosmos, not every signal is meant for human ears."

You are the operator of the Vanguard Orbital Link Station, the last relay between scattered satellites and Earth Command.
Your official task is simple: keep links stable and data flowing.
Your real mission is Protocol Yugen: intercept alien signal patterns, neutralize hostile interference, and keep the network secure without letting it collapse.

This is a focused, systems-heavy version of our original concept: short feedback loops, readable control surfaces, and pressure that comes from balancing synchronization, transmission, and security response.

How to play

• Use the space-station console UI with your mouse.
• Tune frequency and amplitude with sliders to keep satellite links synchronized.
• Use console buttons to trigger actions and respond to incidents.
• Hold Right Mouse Button and drag to pan the camera.
• Use A and D to tilt the view.

Your objective is to keep the network alive:

1. Maintain sync with target satellites.
2. Transmit data consistently.
3. Respond to alien threats before they cascade into data loss.

Development notes (for fellow devs)

We built the game around a lightweight event-driven architecture with DDD-inspired boundaries:

• Core domain behavior (station state, synchronization logic, attacks, data gain/loss) is modeled as independent gameplay logic.
• Controllers and scene-facing systems subscribe to domain events and translate state into UI, audio, and camera feedback.
• The result is a decoupled loop where gameplay rules remain testable and iteration on presentation remains fast.

The architecture is intentionally pragmatic: simple event bus patterns, clear separation of concerns, and minimal ceremony for jam-time development.
