The recent releases of new and affordable software for developing video games, combined with an educated population and the large amount of knowledge available for free on the internet has created an explosion in the number of video games being developed and released independently. This project details part of the development of a video game based on a previously existing board game. This project focuses on the aesthetics and story, two elements of the game design tetrad that, all games possess in varying degrees. During this project the interface of the video game was designed, prototyped, tested and iterated upon. The game world, its props and characters were also modeled and a background story was established for the world, the monuments on it and, for each character and where they came from. The development of this project followed processes applied and thought by professionals of the game industry and was successful to implement a proof of concept of a video game. This work provides a deep insight for anyone that wishes to understand the game industry and learn the process of creating a game.
