Ok ive ditched the idea of making this a game buut here is the complete info of the project so far. this Interactive 3D map of the lunar south polar region for Artemis III planning, built with Three.js.Features
Terrain (LOLA / GRAIL) — 256×256 polar stereographic grid (~560 km across) synthesized from LOLA DEM crater profiles and GRAIL Bouguer anomaly patterns
Ice & PSRs — Permanently shadowed region proxy from depth and crater geometry (Diviner / LOLA PSR catalog behavior)
Lighting — Adjustable sun azimuth; illumination from lunar obliquity (~1.5°) and local slope
Landing zones — Nine NASA Artemis III candidate regions (Oct 2024) with labels and footprint rings This demo embeds synthesized elevation (not full-resolution LOLA tiles) so it runs offline

Turning this into a game?
I’ve been making a few models and animations in Blender and Scratch to turn this into a cool game. Like maybe an exploration game with LORE!!! So here is the character I’ve been designing. Also, I decided to call the game Orbitrack.
cool stuff comming
