A noteworthy design challenge we conqured on this project was the strict needs and requirements of mixed reality gameplay within the space of Mercedes-Benz Museum.
Mercedes-Benz Museum game was developed as part of research and development project between the Mercedes-Benz Museum and Stuttgart Media University.
The scope of my tasks as the game designer extended into every corner of the design of the game, including:
• Co-designing the gameplay loop in a way to encourage exploration in the museum without the game taking the focus away from the exhibitions,
• Iterating on the game according to the feedback from the product owners,
• Creating a set of museum tasks for each exhibition,
• Pitching and designing three replayable minigames, each featuring three difficulty levels,
• Writing all character dialogue for three historic guide characters in accordance with their documented personalities,
• Designing the tutorial system of the game,
• Mocking up the user interface and defining its flow and functionality,
• Pitching and designing the rewards, collections and unlocks systems.
