The Legacy

The Legacy was created as part of a university module called Professional Projects, in which teams of 8 consisting of artists, programmers and designers are assembled and given a brief from an external client to work on. Our client was the Andrew Carnegie Birthplace Museum in Dunfermline, who wanted us to design a game to go along a teaching module they were developing to teach about Andrew Carnegie’s work and life in Scottish schools.

This was my first professional work experience, where I learned to work with Source Control, participate in design meetings to pitch and critique ideas and maintain communications with the client. My responsibilities consisted of maintaining the asset list for the artists to work off of, as well as the design documentation. Additionally, I designed multiple game systems, performed extensive iteration and created multiple paper prototypes.

Students would explore various locations relevant to Andrew Carnegie, and gather clues about what he did. Players used these clues to answer questions and advance to other areas, with educational minigames relevant to Carnegie also present.
