Task 2 - Design Documents

This is a mock up environment that I did in lesson but I liked it so I decided to use it for this task and it fits the environment description very well of a barren wasteland.

This is a drawing of a space station that I made prior to this task, I drew this when I first decided to do a sci-fi genre.

Installation can usually take 20 to 30 minutes depending on the free space in your device. If the game doesn't successfully install within this time then the issue is going to most likely be found in your free disc space, to resolve this issue you must remove any unnecessary load within your device. Once you have done this then just re-install the game.

This problem could occur for many reasons. The cause could be because of the internet connection and to resolve this you can restart your internet and then restart the game.
