Quantum Reindeer
Project Overview
Quantum Reindeer is the working title of a short, light-hearted, Christmas-themed shoot-'em'-up game. It stars Santi and Dasher, the newest members of Santa's airforce, tasked with delivering presents to houses on Christmas Eve... and fighting their way through an army of droids in the process.
This is a non-commercial project - the game will be released for free on Itch.

The stern, no-nonsense commander of Santi's squad. Never seen, only heard through the radio, the Commander gives the team their orders and oversees each mission. He's proud of his reindeer and his pilot - but that doesn't mean he has to show it.

Cut the chatter, more bogies up ahead! Blitzen is online – switch to him now.
Got a couple of naughties on this one, Santi. Don't lose track of who's getting what.
It’s going down! Get clear, get clear, get clear!
Santi is a newly-qualified pilot on her first campaign. She's hot-headed and eager to prove herself - not just to her commander, but also to the reindeer with whom she'll be flying.

Well, this isn't sudden at all! I don't even know what I'm dropping!
C’mon, man, I just got out of the academy. I know this stuff already.
We’ve… taken a few hits. It’ll be good to have a medic on the team.
Dasher is the newest flyer on the team, and also the youngest. He idolises many of the reindeer with whom he's now flying, and wants more than anything to earn a place among them. He's bright-eyed, keen... and also pretty naive.

Be sure to grab those stars! They fill your Ability Gauge.
You can bring up the flight plan if you need to! But don't take your eyes off the sky for too long.
Aww... I was just getting my eye in.
Blitzen has been doing this shit for too long. He's the oldest reindeer on the team, and he's got the grizzle to show for it. He's irritable and grumpy, but at the end of the day, the team is his family.
Also he's got firepower like no-one's business, so they can't really afford to get rid of him.

Well, dang. The bleeding heart’s still alive, huh?
Keep an eye on your Ability Gauge! No point filling it up and then not using it.
You hear that!? That, right there, is why we have a union!
Misty is the team's cool aunt - a cool aunt who knows a dozen different ways to crush you beneath her hooves, but a cool aunt nonetheless. She has a positivity that somehow manages to be energetic and laid-back at the same time. She sometimes acts as the team's matron, but she's more than capable of carrying a mission herself, too.

Hey there, pilot! You didn’t tell me you’d got your wings already.
Well, we couldn’t have your first flights be too easy, could we?
Even if his worldview is a bit idealistic, what’s the harm? He’s still doing good work.
Willow gives the impression of being anything other than a soldier. They speak with the calm grace of a dignitary, their every word measured and regal. In reality, they've been flying on the team for almost as long as Blitzen has, and the two of them are old war buddies. Willow is very composed, and speaks gently, but is still more than capable guiding the sleigh through battle.

Evening! I haven’t kept you waiting, I hope?
Ah, the diplomat. I thought you were off duty?
A pleasure to fly with you, Santi.
